Monroe Park Dedication...

As many of you know from previous posts a new park was constructed earlier this summer and was officially dedicated to Coty's Memory today. What a fun celebration for the community there was face and pumpkin painting, karaoke, kids games, hay rides, Fire Truck Rides and can't for get the Food. Today though is a day to remember Coty and his class (DD's 7th grade class) was there to help with the planning and the dedication. A new sign was revealed and balloons were released in the park, because of the weather the other festivities were held inside.

This photo is of our DD after she placed her paw in the patio, don't worry all of the girls did this. Now that it is dried and cleaned up I will get a photo posted for you.
The Dr. Called yesterday, never a good thing when they call is it. My blood test came back and I guess I all ready was in the know of what she had to say. I have not been able to move gracefully for a while now because of my back but when my hips started to hurt out of the blue I knew one of two things my back is getting worse and pinching off a nerve or arthritis. It is partially the later she can't tell me what type it is RA or otherwise possibly even Lupus, she left it up to me for further testing. (With no insurance probably won't do much at this time it is expensive and not covered at the clinic I use.) Either way she said most of it is treated the same way so I will keep using Celebrex and taking Glucosamine and my multi vitamins and plug away at with things I know I can do ie: stamping, eating chocolate, watching tv and trying to keep pace with our littlest DD (this is starting to get challenging.)
Happy stamp day!

Flower filled ....

I have wanted this set for so long and now that I have it I can't quit using it. You know Bold Brights is my fave color family so I went ahead and used this color combo on this card: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Green Galore.

Have a great day!

All Spiked up for Halloween...

Well my oldest DD does not want to take treats to school for her BD or Halloween this year she laughed when I asked her. She had a really funny response something like your little girl is growing up can't you see that, I will only pass out some gum and some Clifford stickers, lol! She said this as a joke response to me but I am on the lookout for Clifford stickers as a joke for her to hand out since that is her nickname, should be funny.
Our other DD requested the ones she wanted to hand out in class and I made some to pass out at the house. About 60 gel packs later this is what I had...

To make these you will need clear hair gel, and some plastic confetti. I found the confetti down the party isle of our Lewis store it is made by American Greetings. And the plastic baggies were purchased at Hobby Lobby they are the smallest size that they carry. So what you do is put in a quarter size amount of gel put in the floaters, (or leave plain) push the air bubbles to the top and then seal up the bag. I had all my paper cut and punched before I started putting on the gel packets this went really fast. So after you have your card stock mounted use double stick tape to put your baggie on the back, then center your image so it shows correctly through the punched holes then place your back on. I put some on card fronts and the others that we are going to hand out were just left as you see them in the top picture. I used stamped images from WRAK mostly Amuse but the SU booglie eyes and Batty for you work really well here also.
So make a few and spike up your Halloween.
