Peace and Quiet

I made this for hand cream, and I like it better than what I made previously. I was unsure about these ball jars, Classic Elite. But they decorate easily and look pretty, too. The penguins are from memory Box and the words were made with a small SnapStamp set from Karen Foster.

I also made a Hanna card for the Friday Challenge. I followed part of the instructions and made it humorous, but I used the wrong sketch. I suppose I made it 50% correct, but that score is still an F no matter how kindly your grade. Oh Well. I tried and that is good enough for me today.

I was busted out of the shower this morning after Noah jumped on Seth (while still in bed) and Seth kicked Noah out of the bed. Noah was bleeding and left a bloody trail from the bedroom to the bathroom and I have been unable to get the blood out of the carpeting completely. I did what I do best and e mailed Scott asking him to get out the steam vac this weekend and work on this problem. I suspect he'll get right to it, like when I asked him to bring in the boxes so we could get the tree put away. Yeah. It is still up.

Tonight we are going to our Ukrainian friends' home for dinner. I made chocolate cake. Something didn't work right and it is one ugly misshapen cake, but I hope I iced it decently enough. The crumbs tasted good, so as long as it tastes good, we'll all be happy. I have yelled at the kids enough today that they are playing in another room, thus giving me some peace for the moment. School starts again Monday. WooooHooo!!
