This weeks sketch was fun - I used the Angalee collection of papers card stock and ribbon for my card. It is such a soft and sweet palette. I was talking with one of my peeps Michelle and she was talking about how she uses too much pattern paper and feels limited by it. It was funny because I had JUST thought "I don't use pattern paper enough!" SO this one is for you Michelle!

These cupcakes are SO much fun to color. I stamped out a bunch and then started coloring with my Prisma Colored pencils. I am a sucker for coloring though! I ran the piece of green Angalee card stock through my Big Shot with the Swiss dots embossing folder and then rubbed my Burnt Umber ink over the raised dots.
Don't forget about these specials about to end.

SO today's funny? First while i was till in jammies doing my bible study after the kiddos left for school my neighbor rang my doorbell - she had gotten locked out of the house by her kindergartener. No purse no phone no keys. So she used my phone and called her sister and had to have her Dad leave work to come out and give her the spare key that he keeps on his keyring. I tried to convince her to let me break into her house - since I am a professional! Ya experience in that is probably not something to brag about - but hey it has only been MY house! They were gone in about 15 minutes. No biggie. Back to bible study. Last sentence to read...
Phone rings - it is DJ. I was hoping it was Annette - but i got to talk to her in a bit. Anyway - DJ has League Band contest today - and he supposedly "didn't know" that he was supposed to dress up! SO guess who had to drive all the way to another school with clothes for my boy? Ya I did not even brush my hair or wash my face- I ran out the door with his clothes and was lucky i got a bra on! LOL!
SO I get to the school about 30 minutes later and it went something like this:
"Mom I am really sorry you had to drive all the way out here" he says.
"No problem" I said.
"Really?" DJ asked with surprise.
"Uh well I am here aren't I? Really DJ I do that kind of stuff ALL THE TIME! No worries."
Seriously! I am constantly forgetting some ones something or not seeing an appointment or event on a calendar until like 5 minutes before. SO he comes by this naturally right? I feel like I do not want HIM to beat himself up as much as I do when I fail aomeone or make a mistake. Atleast I did not have to leave work to get him what he needed. Oh wait I actually did didn't I!
Ahhhh... life with a teen. I think I need to clarify - or atleast make him realize that HE has to take the credit for the mistake - instead of saying "No one TOLD me we had to dress up!" Which I think is TOTAL BS!
I can hardly wait til I have 2 more to deal with. NOT!!!
