Daily Challenge

When I was at Bev's in Dallas this weekend I was in awe of her awesome amount of Copic markers. Mostly I just sat and colored all weekend, every chance I got. I had supplies that I could have used to put cards together, but I didn't feel like it. I just colored and colored. Kristi was urging me one night to make a pirate. I didn't feel like it at the time, but the next morning I made this sexy woman. (I used a Daily Challenge Sketch over at Splitcoast to make the card for Pirate Hanna.) After I took the photo I added some dew drops to the corners of the cards, so it has a little more pizzaz.

The boys are asking what is on the schedule for today. I may take them to a Chinese Buffet they have been begging to go to. No, it's not because they love Chinese food. The restaurant has a chocolate fountain they want to dip fruit and marshmallows into.

We need a new Man Rule: Once you retire, you are retired. I used to really like Brett Farve. Now? I am so very tired of his drama. Note to Brett: Dude, Give it up, and go home to Mississipppi. There is so much more to life than football. Go home and do something worthwhile with your millions.

I am so tired.....

We had a busy weekend and then spent the ENTIRE day at the zoo yesterday. I drove home exhausted in rush hour traffic only to have to run some errands last night. Today we are off to a local water park for the day, I have been promising the kids all summer that we would do this, and plans for today's activities were made in advance, so I feel I should stck to the schedule, no matter how badly I want to crawl back into bed and pull the sheets up over my head.

The card a bove was made from the new Hanna Stamps Pirate set, and the item below is a composition book I re covered. I used the new Teacher set for the book. Both sets will be released on Thursday around midnight at the SCS Release Party. In real life the pirate does not look quite so sun burned. I used the coins and the sword and the parrot from the accent stamps to round out my card. I love the sentiment that comes with this set. Perfect, eh?

Here is a shot of Seth from the zoo. I asked him to stand still for a photo and he struck a pose. Two nights ago we had been at Target and he had his eyes on some sparkly silver shoes. I guess I shoud not deny his true calling as a drag queen and just let him have his way. As long as he grows up to have disposable income to spend on his old Mama, all will be okay in my word! (lol)

And now it looks like the composition book may not have loaded properly into blogger. I am too tired to try to fix this problem!
