Duckies and Elephantys

Sometimes being sick has its perks

I took a sick day from work today

no longer wanting to be sprayed down

with Lysol by my fellow co-workers

I'm not very good at being sick

I'm whinny and fidgety

staying in bed is hardly an option

when there is so much to do

luckily I'm not quite that sick

just a nasty head cold

THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY!

ugggg

omg I just realized that all my kits have piece spelled wrong!

ack will have to change that tomorrow

~ but it will stay as is on my blog! LOL I AM A DORK!!!!

I've had so many "works in progress" on my plate

and I REALLY want to start checking things off the ol' "to do" list

So I'm very pleased that i FINALLY finished two digital kits

part of a series I'm fondly calling Animal Crackers

Karli of Retro Plant said I should call the Duckies one

Animal Quackers :)

This Ducky kit is by far my favorite of all my kits yet

From digital scrapbooking

to tradition

this kit is perfect for capturing wee little tikes adventures

in the tub or in the mud

and let's face it everything in between

I can see this kit making for really cute baby shower announcements

or transfered onto a onsie

that is what i love about digital scrapbooking

the ideas and uses are endless!

there wasn't much rhyme or reason to what animals I chose to make

more or less whatever I was in the mood for

there will be a kit of puppy dogs, pigs, horses, donkeys,

and ummmmI swear one more

but I'm having a brain fart

oh-well

One of my favorite animals is the elephant

I have a small collection

the ornament in the picture above is my favorite

it was a gift from my mom and dad

it was a significant gift because it really symbolized to me

that they really "got me"

(that's me!)

My little sister is in her second trimester of pregnancy

she just spent 5 or so days with us

and while there were some crazy emotions on my end

given how badly I want a baby

and how much she is trying to embrace pregnancy at just age 19

we had she a wonderful time together

her boyfriend ~ soon to be fiance

is great! My husband and him get along so well

I only wish they didn't live 9 hours away :(

but with all that said,

I can't wait to have baby pictures to scrapbook!

ahhhh it's going to be so fun!

but for the mean time I have PLENTY of my own to do

I think someday it will be fun to mix my baby photos

in with my own little bundles of joy

to see the comparisons.

You just have to get The Gnome Hut's Gingham Trio kit

although be warned you wont be able to make a single page without it...

lol I kept trying to make pages with ONLY my own kit elements

but I finally gave up

everything is better in gingham!

My Elephant window display goes down

at the end of this month

whatever will I do with an 9' elephant?

This always happens too me

just like my giant robot who I sadly had to break down

and throw away:(

Well after more than 10 hours of sitting at my computer today

I think it is time I send you my love

and call it a night!

HUGS!
