A 'Perfect Day'

I am so glad is it Saturday! The kids started back to school this week and it was hectic as usual...getting back into the school routine of early mornings (wasn't as bad as I thought it might be), running back and forth to town for school supplies, filling out school paperwork, picking up the kids from school every afternoon, and our first football game of the season (we won 17-14...GO COUGARS!)...and we decided to take Bevyn off the bottle this week as well, so to say that she has been a little irritable would be an understatement. :O)

In the midst of all this, I'm working on three swaps! You would have thought I'd have learned from this time last year. LOL! But then, I had a newborn last year and now she's a toddler...goodness...hard to believe. She still isn't making the process any easier though. I have to keep all my supplies pushed to the middle of the table because she can reach up and grab anything within reach now. I am managing though...between episodes of 'The Wiggles', her playing in my Tupperware cabinet, nap time and her pulling on my shirt for attention...I might get lucky and get to sit for 5-10 minutes at a time and actually work on my swaps. LOL! The joys of motherhood and crafting. :O)

Anyway, I am grateful for the cooler weather and the rain we have been getting here in West Texas. For me, it makes for the perfect day to create. Here is a little bit of what I've accomplished this past week...

These new CTMH products have been so fun to create with. I just LOVE this new Idea Book...all the new kits, stamps, and accessories! As soon as I have swapped out our team swap, I will share all the gorgeous artwork created by everyone...you are going to love it all!

Well, I better get back to work and take advantage of the little bit of quiet time I have at the moment...Bevyn is napping. :O)

Have a blessed day and enjoy your Labor Day weekend! Pamela
