Everything But The Kitchen Sink Challenge #4

Good Morning! Well it is time for another Everything But The Kitchen Sink household item Challenge! The sweet and talented Kelley is hosting this week, with the help of Courtney. Please keep Kelley in your prayers, she is going in for surgery today, so that is why Courtney is helping her out! Thank you Courtney, your so sweet! :)
This week Kelley chose to use toothpicks! I know, you might be thinking, "Toothpicks", but please give it a try, it is really fun! I decided to do a bird's nest with some little baby bird's in it! I made it into a Congrats card for new parents! Please bare with me on the pictures, this was the hardest card to photograph! I still need to take that photography class! :)

Now onto the prize.....a new PTI Big & Bold Wishes set and an assortment of PTI buttons! Sounds good to me! :) So please stop by the EBTKS blog to see all the other designers cards and join us in the toothpick challenge! :)Supplies:

Card- Dude You Rock

Hey everybody! Today has been a lazy day! We went to bed late, because me and Chance started a FaceBook account. It is really weird to see all those old faces from school, but exciting to hear from them again! I've missed alot of those people! Since I still live in the town, that they wanted to get away from, I don't see them much! I think the only time I see some of them, is unfortunately at funerals! :( So we have been trying to figure out Facebook, it is alot different than Blogger!

I did get to craft a little bit, I made a card for Chace's friend. He is going to his birthday party tonight, so I whipped him up a card real quick. I like how it turned out. Sometimes it's hard to make boy cards to fit their age. I am really lovin' Dawn's Signature greetings stamps, I wish I had good handwriting, but I don't, so no one would want to buy my stamps! :) I think I need to do a handwriting class, do they even have those?! :)Supplies:

Cardstock- (PTI) true black, (Georgia Pacific) white, (Recollections) gray & blue

Stamp- (Making Memories) Just Chillin', (PTI) Signature greetings

Ink- (VersaMark) watermark, (PTI) smokey shadow, (ColorBox) charcoal

Other- (Filigree) white embossing powder, (American Crafts) Zing clear embossing powder

Have a Blessed day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everybody's day was filled with love and thanksgiving! We had a great day, we cooked at home (well Chance did alot of cooking) I did some, but mostly I cleaned up after him! :) We have eaten all day, I think I need to get some more turkey though!
Well, the Dr.'s office called on Tuesday with Chance's blood work, they said that everything looked great but his Triglycerides were too high and they wanted to put him on medicine. Of course he said no, he wanted to try dieting, so I guess we all have to change our eaten habits! Then the Dr.'s office called on Wednesday and said the MRI looked Ok, but he had a pretty big polyp or cyst in his sinus cavity, I mentioned to ya'll, that we saw that during testing. So he is being referred to a ENT (ear, nose, & throat) Dr. I hope we will hear from the Dr.'s office on Monday with the appointment date! But, PRAISE GOD, so far the news is pretty good! So thank you for all the prayers, please continue to pray for the ENT appointment!
I think going to the Dr. offices and hospital's with Chance, has made me catch a cold bug or something! We saw a friend and her daughter at the Dr.'s office the day Chance went in, and the little girl had the Swine Flu! Well, they left and then we got called back, seriously, I think we got their room! I carry a small can of Lysol and Germ-X in my purse, I was spraying Lysol in the room and telling Chance, don't touch the table, here's some germ-X! My whole family has been sneezing and sinus congestion, I guess it's just that time of year!
Some of you may know Kelley, she is going through some trials in her life right now, and she would really appreciate your prayers! She is such a sweet blog friend and has been praying for my family, so please let's lift her up in prayer!
Well I wanted to give you all a update and tell you all that I am Thankful that you stop by and visit me on my lil' blog! Ya'll really encourage me to keep crafting, Thank You! I hope you all had a Blessed day!

You craft in your PJ's! :) I have been wanting Autumn to play in M's Sketch Challenges, but she is always busy, so today, she had time to make to cards for the challenge!
