Too Tired


Today is the kick off of a new Hanna Stamps Sneak Peek Week. Hanna will be releasing new sets on Friday, and one of them is a penguin set. My kids are so excited. Seth has already been making his own creations with my penguin stamps, all the while complaining that I won't let him have the set for himself. I made the card with stamps from the new set. the phrase at the bottom reads "It's a penguin party!" It really is! This set is too much fun.
Hanna Stamps is also giving away blog candy this week. Every Hanna Stamps blogger will get to give away a brand new Riley Moose stamp set, which will also be released this week. So, go around and leave comments on the blogs of all the Hanna Stamps Design Team members and you may be randomly selected to win.
On the family front, we went to Chicago for the weekend. We spent an entire day at the Museum of Science and Industry, went to the Brookfield Zoo, Navy Pier, and the highlight and reason for the trip was a trip to see Wicked. Seth has been begging for a very long time for me to take him, and then Noah decided he wanted to go as well. Wicked will be on tour next year and will be in our town. It was actually cheaper to see Wicked in Chicago than here. Well, if you don't figure in hotel, gas, food, etc... but the tickets are cheaper in Chcago. I cannot tell you how wonderful it was.
I came home to a pile of dirty laundry and I am right now both hungry and tired. I need someone to come take care of me and the house so I can catch up on lost sleep. Also, Archiver's called while I was gone and left a message that an item I want had come in and I had till the end of the day to go get it, or they would release it to someone else. But I have no idea when they called. If I can recover sufficiently, I'll be off to Archiver's today to see if they have more. Well, I'll call first as it isn't really that close to my house that I want to make a trip for nothing.

It's a Monday!

I have been thinking for a while now about stamping on t shirts. Niki on the Hanna Design Team stamped on a kitchen towel last week and I told her all about my t shirt plans. Within minutes she had a photo uploaded and she had already done it! Just when you start to think you've got a great original idea, you realize you aren't so special anyhow....

I made a shirt for Seth with penguins from my Memory Box collection. Niki had the idea to stamp onto transfer paper/iron on and then color it in and iron it to your fabric of choice. I also made a moose shirt for Seth with 2 moose together. I ironed it onto a yellow shirt, as white does not last long around here. It is a cute camping scene and I'll have to post a photo when the shirt comes out of the wash bin.

My head is full of shirt ideas at the moment, and not enough time to make them. I have yet to determine how they will hold up to repeated washings.

Today I have been to the doctor (so Noah could get some shots) and have been to both Target and WalMart as well as Burger King today. Seth is at day camp and I dropped him off this morning and have to go back and fetch him soon. I hope your day is more restful than mine.
