I always say I'm gonna keep up with this and then I don't. LOL Just like most things in my life I guess.

I wanted to let any of my followers know though that Tracy has some wonderful looking blog candy that can be won by becoming her follower!! Good luck...but not too much, I wanna win too ;)

Happy Scrapping and of course, stamping!!!

Well, I'm gonna try a class from Big Picture Classes. This looks pretty interesting and get this, ITS FREE!!!!! Come on out and join me and some fab designers/teachers!!!! There is a button on my sidebar to take you to the class sign up!

Well, we are in Canton for two weeks. The day after Father's Day Rancy flew out to Denver, CO for lieutenant training. We giggle because he's been one for 8 months now and he is just getting "trained". Thank goodness he has worked with some really good lt's since being in he bureau and since becoming one himself.

The boys and I have had some fun since we've been here. Nonnie and Pa have been keeping the boys busy. We certainly did innundate them with stuff. It was us, the two dogs and the newest addition to our house, the cat that came out. We didn't want to put anyone in a kennel since we are here for 2 weeks that would get expensive! Dad brought up a big old pen to put outside so the dogs are getting lots of out of crate time when it hasn't been rainy!

Rancy seems to be having a pretty good time out west. A bunch of them rented a car this last weekend and went up to Pike's Peak and a few other places. Rancy said it is the most beautiful thing at the top of the world. I could never go up there without oxygen so I'll have to take his word for it!

Guess that's all the update for now. Might try to color some here in the next few days!!! Hope everyone is well!!

So finally I got to craft!!!!!! This is the card that I made with an image from http://pixieduststudio.blogspot.com/ . It is called "No Ordinary Hero". I had a blast coloring this image and it was a hit with Rancy as it is his Father's Day card. I'd love to tell you where the papers came from but I honestly don't know. They were all in my stash. I did snag the design of the card from Kathy from Pixie Dust, it was just too cute to not snag!!!

Enjoy!!!!

Oh, and Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there!!!!

Well, I haven't been crafting at all. But, I hope to soon. But today I want to share a link about Mott's for Tots Juice. I just sent away for my free sample and I can't wait to let the boys try it !

Well, today is the first day I've felt normal since my last post! I wanted to color last night for my easter cards and I just didn't feel it sooo...hopefully today will be the day!

The boys are making all kinds of fun things today in the house since it decided to be cold, rainy and windy. Their Dad helped them make a fort out of priority mail boxes earlier today and they are attempting to recreate it a bit unsuccessfully at the moment! Now they are playing with their trucks and stuff.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have some colored pictures done to post up! I can't wait either because they are so cute! Gotta love the digi's from Pixie Dust Studios!!!!

OMG...really?? I haven't been on here since 2008??? HAHAHAHA!! Too funny really. A lot has happened since then. Lets see....we had another baby, Garrett in March of 2009. He was born premiee and spent 6 days in NICU. But you'd never know it now other than he's a wee little guy! He is definitely totally different than Wyatt.

Let's see, we moved back to PA in October of 2010 to be closer to family. We miss all our "family" in Virginia though. Its been an adjustment for sure! Wyatt misses all his classmates from Ms. Marcum's class and all his other little buddies! He is in first grade now and is doing very well.

We added a new dog to our family in 2009 also. His name is "That Meddling Kidd Fredrick" but we call him Freddy. He's a chocolate and white parti mix American Cocker Spaniel. He's wild, and lives up to the parti name. LOL

I'm going to try to start posting some of my card creations and such on here now that I'm able to again. Garrett has been a very "needy" child up until recently so him playing on his own some has made it easier for me to get some things done! I've just started playing with my Copic markers. I only have a few but I love them and can't wait to get more! I mostly color using my Prismacolor colored pencils.

Anyways, that's my update for now! Look forward to having you all check in on me every once in a while!!!

Mickel :o)
