Calendar of Seasons

I have been looking for an idea for a small desk calendar since December. I finally found one I liked over at PaperSmiles . If you read my blog, you know that my name is Winter,(yes that is my real first name). I have a sister named Somer, my daughter's name is Autumn, and my sister Somer's daughter is named Gracelynn Spring. So I decided to do these calendars with names of the season's and pictures of each person with that name on it. Instead of the correct spelling of the season Summer, I put the spelling of my sister's name Somer. My sister Somer has been following my blog, so Somer I hope you like this one, I'm sending it to you. Love you!
I hope everyone else likes it too!

Recipe:
Paper: My Minds Eye & cream card stock
Ink: SU!- basic brown
Stamps: Stamp craft- Greek Stone
Accessories: pictures printed from computer, cream stitched ribbon

Valentine Button Card

I found this idea over at KWerner's blog. I just had to try it. I actually made it a couple of weeks ago, I figured it was getting close to (Love) Day, and it makes a great Valentines Day card. I Love all of the buttons! I had a jar of buttons that I bought years ago, I finally used some of them. I am trying to use some of my stash of supplies, and scraps of paper, that I have collected over the years. I don't like throwing any paper away! I try to be frugal and try to stretch my dollar as far as possible. I guess you have to be when this is a hobby and you're not getting paid for it. I love doing it though!!

Recipe:

Paper: Craft card stock

Ink: Zig- red pen

Accessories: Lots of buttons!

I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by Brandi over at Yankee Belle Stamper. I have to tag 6 more people and try to get to know them better. You have to go to your "my pictures" on your computer and find the 6th folder and and get the 6th picture, then choose 6 more people to pass it on to.
So this is my picture. It is my daughter Autumn. She is 10 years old, and she has been playing softball since she was 6. She started pitching this past season in the fast pitch league. This was her first game to pitch in. She did a great job!

These are the blogs I choose to pass it on to.

Fiona at Fab Creations.

Karen at Karen's Escape.

Kara at Kandredesigns.

Tenia at Jazzy Paper Designs.

Nellie at This Little Blog Of Mine.

Ashley at Cherry Hill Designs.

I hope you enjoy!

First His Holy Name '09 Challenge

I found another challenge to join in on. It is called His Holy Name, there is also another one called Scripture Challenge. They were started by a woman named Patter, she does a great job! It is so nice to do challenges that get me reading God's word even more. I'm a little late on getting started, but I'll catch up. I did a 6X6 page this time and plan to do a 6X6 every time, so I can put it in an album. The word for the challenge this week is Sovereign, so my scripture is Psalms 40:5. God gives us so many blessings that we can't even number! Thank You Lord! I hope you can try and join in on this challenge too! Have a blessed night!

Family Night

We surprised our kids with tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters this past Friday night. For those of you who don't know who the Harlem Globetrotters are, they are a basketball team who are entertainers. They do all kinds of tricks, slam dunks, and lots of humor!! We had a great time. The TV news was there taking video, and they started filming in our direction, so I told my kids we needed to watch the news that night. We watched it when we got home, and sure enough one of the only shots of the fans was US! It was pretty neat! My mom was staying a few days, so she came with us too. She just lost her husband (my step-dad) about 3 months ago, so she has been spending a lot of time with all of her kids. We enjoy her being with us. So here are a few pictures to share, my son refused to take a picture, (he gets tired of me taking his picture), so he is not in any of them!

Slam Dunk!
