Crystal's Nursing Pinning and Cody's Graduation

Crystal received her CNA pin at the CNA Graduation at her High School. There were 15 girls and 1 young man. I was so PROUD of all of them. The ceremony was a real treat...so much energy and enthusiasm. All the young nurses are going to be successful!! CONGRATS!!



Here is the cake I made Crystal for her little party.





Cody graduated from 5th grade and let me tell you he looks like he is high school student, slow down son!! Wonderful graduation ceremony. Cody will now go to Jr. High.

Bird's Eye View ~Rusty Pickle~

I have FANTASTIC news....On Friday June 5th I found out I was one of the finalist for the Rusty Pickle Amazing Race for the Design Team positions, look HERE . See all the wonderful creations and the wonderful finalist!!! Congrats ladies!!! We now are having a race for the final 6. I'm seriouly nervous here.
Here is my entry my lo. This lo was created using Rusty Pickle's Lucky line....which I am convinced maybe my fav. The pic is of Dusty. I feed the birds and everyday in the morning Dusty goes to the window to look. He just loves it and when I ask do you wanna go watch the birds he goes right for the window. Wanted to always have this special memory. The journaling reads: Dusty you have been watching these birds since you were about 5 1/2 months old. I would at first hold you up to look, then you would sit up and Colby and Cooper would hold you to look, now you view on your own. Dusty ALWAYS enjoy the birds. Love ya, Momma
