Book of Sayings

Do you have a book of sayings? I've treasured each of the cute, innocent things my kids have said over the years. I wrote them down in a book, when I have remembered.  Tonight at dinner, we pulled the book out and read through them.  It is a priceless treasure!

This one of from 2001. Sean and Joseph were having a conversation.  A 5 year old Sean asked, "Is your soul in your body? Jesus is in your heart."  A 4 year old Joseph replied, "Jesus IS in your heart except at church 'cause then He's out there until you eat Him, then He gets into your heart."

In 2002, an 8 year old Matthew in front of the White House: "Why is there a fence around the White House? Is it to keep Al Gore out?" 

A 6 year old Joseph asked on the way to IVIG, "Did God make grass so we don't step in the mud?"

10 year old Matthew on Easter Sunday, "I don't like jelly beans, but Ronald Reagan kept a big bowl of them on his desk."

8 year old Sean and an almost 7 year old Joseph were discussing whether they were Republicans or Democrats. Joseph said to Sean, "Sean, you really should be a Republican because they are nice, they want to lower taxes."

I told the boys they had to stay in the classroom while the plumber was working. 7 year old Joseph replied, "But I want to see the plumber plumb!"

A 12 year old Joseph told me, "You can't blame stuff I did on me!"

Card Sketch Challenge - Mito Awareness

This is the first time I have ever participated in a card making challenge! I never have time to do these things! LSU is on a Bye, the Packers are on a BYE and the boys' football games were cancelled because of field conditions.  So what does a mom do without football?  She crafts, of course!

Here is the card I designed for the Unity Stamp KOM Sketch Challenge. I enjoy making cards that bring awareness to Mitochondrial Disease!

On a Roll with Crafts

Can you imagine what I could do if I had more days without doctor or hospital visits? I've only had to make one medical related phone call today! The rest? I'm ignoring la la la....   I could take over the world! It has been a quiet, lazy day around here. Two of the boys served at a funeral Mass this morning and they have been working on school the rest of the day.  Tonight we are going to Student Night at the Opera.... can't wait.

Here is a card I made using emboss resist: 

Here is another card I made today. This has been a therapeutic day for me!

Last night I started this scarf and I'm halfway finished.......

Christmas Card

Here is the last card I made for my class at the Senior Center on November 7th.  I hope the seniors like it!

I love the embossed "Joy" over the verses of Joy to the World in the shape of a star..... I think I love making Christmas cards more than any other cards!
