TGIF

Oh Friday you have finally came around for me . A busy day but I know a weekend of rest is in sight . My hubby took this picture of me on date night

and then today I looked at it my first thoughts were HOLY man I look tired wore out and just plain BLAH !!! Then second reaction was my hubby is really letting me leave the house looking like this . UGH !!!! But today after a busy morning I came home to a message on the phone from my doctor saying that my hemoglobin is low ,so that would explain it . So a quick trip to the drug store to pick up some iron pills I hope that will get me back on track soon .
So at least all was explained for my tired wore out self .One more thing I also wanted to point out my BIG 30 birthday is this year ,so one of my goals and reason for my drab hair these days has been a turning 30 goal I had for my self to grow my hair out and donate it . I am not able to dye my hair and trying to grow it out as long as I can to make the best growth for someone that needs it . So the days I am frustrated and ready to cut I think of someone else that can use it . Hoping for alittle R&R this weekend .

I have been so busy that I have only took one picture with it and look forward to taking more then making a wonderful mini album for them . I have been on a big kick of mini albums lately and plan on starting Monday Minis which will be a mini album class on every second Monday starting very soon . Just waiting on a order that has been MIA for a few weeks but has found it way back on track with me really soon . Keep you posted with class schedule very soon .

Mothers Day Crafts

Crafty post of what we gave our mamas for mothers day !!! It was a family project .
First of all everyone even the hubby had to help make these bags with me and the girls .

So this was just a cheap canvas bag I found and then the girls painted their hands on the bottom for the grass and I ran some felt through the Big Shot to make flowers ,hot glued them on with some buttons and a pretty bag .We then added some garden things to the bag .

Here's my fave Mothers day project which I will be hosting a fabric album class real soon so watch for details if you are interested in this next project or leave a comment .
