Lolli for 2

Hello everyone, I made this lo last night for the MME #8 Challenge and the ribbon challenge on SB.com Using the sketch provided by Anam Stubbington. The challenge to use red and/or pink. With these totally awesome papers from My Mind's Eye I knew right away the pics I wanted to use.. I know they are not the best pics....but it was one of those days outside working in the yard and my neighbor brought over the kids a giant bag of Halloween candy. Well the kids were like in paradise. Dusty started off with chocolates and then a sucker. We were all sitting around having a break and I looked and I saw Dusty letting Boomer share his sucker, now if that is not an act of love. I grabbed the camera and started taking pics. I then gave him a new sucker...lol!! I just thought how sweet of him to share with Boomer. I tried to capture the feeling here of a 1234 story telling. The paisleys were made from the Cricut Paisley cart. cut at 2, 2 1/2, and 3. Some of the paisleys came in the MME paper pack. I'm so glad I got this posted, whew!! I have been promising all week, I have had sick babies all week, and even as I type this Dusty is asleep on my lap. So I thank you so much for your patients, and appreciate all your heartfelt comments. Take Care, Dawn

Whale Watch or Not???

Good day all, I know it has been a few days but that whale watch or not??? took everything I had...and for what I had no little ones and I rode a bus and viewed sites??? We left the school house at 6:30 am on Friday and we went to the hotel dropped the luggage and headed to the Virginia Marine Science Aquarium in Va. Beach Va. where everyone enjoyed the sea life and the hands on .
We then went to the MacArthur Memorial in Norfolk Va. watched a film and toured the museum. Had a tour on the Norfolk Naval Base and had lunch. We headed back to Va. Beach to a skating rink where we all skated and had a BLAST!!! Dinner was pizza and back to the hotel, we ordered in Chinese food and watched some TV, then soon fell fast asleep.
We woke up Saturday morn. having a buffet breakfast and since the actual "WHALE WATCH" trip was canceled due to weather conditions, high winds and raining/snowy weather. We then headed back to the Va. Marine Science Museum where we watched an IMAX movie...Under the Sea in 3D.....Fabulous!! The weather conditions were getting worst.....mostly snow at this point. We headed back to the MacArthur Mall in Norfolk where we had lunch and did some shopping. Cody bought himself a really cool hat, and a vanilla bean frappe'. We got the word that the trip was being cut even shorter due to weather, so we didn't get to see Nauticus which has a wonderful exhibit at this time until April..Pirates!! So we were all a little upset that we couldn't stay to see Nauticus, but it was more important that everyone get home safe. SO we watched another movie at Nauticus and headed back.. so our whale watch never happened, but we all had a blast. Cody and I were so sleepy on Sunday...and why?? I ask?? Anyway I do have some los to show later...hopefully I will get them up soon. Stay tuned.Have a WONDERFUL Day. Dawn
