The tag, I originally made first then I was gonna take the picture when I thought how good
it looked on these fabulous MME papers and within like 20 minutes I had this easy lo done
I doodled to....sometimes I can get carried away
The cupid is stamped in brushed corduroy then I applied crackle glaze
Yes I used Stickles..lol!
My students always want to use Stickles and I have been using them since they came out and it is not my go to
medium of choice....so they just love when I use them!!
The stamp set I used was a Christmas Gift from my dear friend Sherry
at Aunt Elmo's World Blog.
Love it Sherry!
Thanks!!!





Dusty having so much fun outside today we were in the high 50's and it felt warm in the sun
It is so nice to be outside

Dusty swinging and having a blast
off goes the boots he did not like that



We were outside for awhile today Dusty had boots on and they fell off while swinging
the socks were left at the trampoline....like always

He didn't like the boots off but still managed to stick his toes in the cold mud

YUK!
Straight to the bath!

Yep...off goes the boots
and he had to test the mud
"cold"
he said




Hello all,

          It has been a week for me with the class, I had guest over three times this week. I cooked full meals well that is nothing new but ...it does take up lots of time. While my guest were here we decided to play all day...had a super fun time and I made the tag and a few other goodies I hope to take pics of soon. I even painted outside today in between swinging, taking pics, and cooking in the pizza oven. I made some awesome bread in the pizza oven today....oh my goodness.....I must share it. It was amazing yummy!!
Anyway.....the lo is a pic of me and my wonderful hubby Bruce. We took this pic last year in May 2010 right after we left Inspired and stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge for the boys. I really don't have many pics of myself and of us together....but I do like this one. This lo took only like 20 mins. total so it is a quick and easy one! My hubby always says, "I love those kind" you finish so quick...he just doesn't understand does he??? LOL!!!! I also wanted to share some of the pics of the day. Hope you are doing awesome and thanks for stopping by!! Huge Cyber Hugs, Dawn Gallop

Closer to Nature Closer to You

Hello Everyone and Happy Thursday, I did this lo for a challenge over at the My Mind's Eye Blog. The challenge is to pick a advertisement out of a magazine and then make a lo out of the ad. Well I called in my 5 yo son Colby on this one. I gave him several magazines and told him to pick an ad that you want mommy to create a lo on. (I knew if I picked it, it would be what a wanted to do) so this way I had to do what he picked. The ad came from a Woman's Day Magazine Halloween one, the ad is for the National Arbor Day foundation. I think I know why he picked this he was asked at school to adopt a tree, back in Sept. We took a walk and he picked one over by his club house, which is a very different tree, it grows real long then up. We have been going to visit the tree at least once a week, he has noted changes and each time he sees something different. The whole family has been involved in the project. So I hope that gives you an idea of why he picked the ad. So it was a little different but I thought it turned out okay. He was happy with it!!! Everything is 100% My Mind's Eye except the brown Bazzill cardstock and the stamps from Hampton Arts, and the brick stamp from Prima. I used the Cricut to cut the leaves from A Walk in My Garden cut at 1/2, and 1. The title was cut from Street Signs cut at 1 1/2, and 1. The branches are from Camp Out cut at 3, 2, and 1 1/2. The window is from Christmas Cheer cut at 2 3/4. and the girl in window cut from Child Year at 2 3/4. TFL!! Have a WONDERFUL Day!! Dawn
