What's Goog up to now?

An owl and a cloud

Sounds like a Dr. Seuss book! Nope, it's just some stamps I carved. The owl is Kelly's design, I just did the carving. The cloud, I just like the idea of the raindrops being inside it for some reason.

Here's the rubber:

Carved:

And here's how they stamp!

P365 Update!

It's July 1st and I'm still TOTALLY caught up! Every little square is full. Someone be proud of me, please!

Independence Day Kit!

OK, now I know a couple of people have asked me about digital scrapbooking - where do I get stuff, how to start, etc. Here is a HUGE free kit you can get from the wonderful Ahhh Scrap design team.

Isn't it GORGEOUS? I'm super excited about it myself!! It's a blog hop, but it's a small one - only about a dozen places to go, and you get this ENORMOUS kit from it! If you've been wanting to start digscrapping, now is the perfect time! Just start at the Ahhh Scrap Blog for the list of designers. I just finished hopping and I can't wait to start playing with the kit!!

Thursday Night's Notes

I love ITT Tech. A lot. But sometimes class is just BORING. Instructional Design is a hard class to teach, I'd think. It's a class about formulating instructions. How do you teach someone to teach someone something? Anyway, I tried to pay attentions, I really did. And I took a ton of real notes, too, I swear. But then I just couldn't handle it anymore and I started to doodle. First a teeny gnome, while I tried to resist the urge...

Then an entire page...

Then another!! I couldn't stop...

A quilt for Baby G

Have I mentioned that my sister-in-law is carrying my niece?? I'm pretty excited about it! Our last name starts with G, so they're calling her Baby G. No real name choices yet, but I can't wait to meet her! I didn't take pictures of the fabrics before I started because I didn't like them. My mom and husband picked out the pattern and the fabrics. But it came out really pretty, so here are some in-progress pics! 

This is a pile of blocks ready to be squared up:

Here they are after being squared up:

Laying out the blocks so they make a cool swirly thing:

Top all sewn together, I LOVE the swirly thing!!

I'm hoping to get it all quilted and sent to my mom so she can give it to my SIL at the shower in July but if that doesn't happen, I'll bring it to her myself when I get to meet her! 

Best Picture Ever

This is my son, hot tubbing in my mom's hotel room - not in the bathroom, this sucker was right in the bedroom - while he watches Lightning McQueen on a big flat panel TV. THe picture is horrible, but I nearly peed when my mom sent it to me!! Look at his happy little face while he floats and sings!
