Kids can make atc's too (2)

These are the atc's that Abigail and Susannah have made for the second round of this swap. Abigails is on the left and Susannah's on the right. They love to get mail for themselves with all the stickers and goodies!

Sams Valentines...

These are the Valentine treats Sam is taking to give out at Pre-K tomorrow. They are straws with hearts on and I've tied a name and greeting to each one with red ribbon. Simple yes but I think they're cute. They'll have to do this year because I just don't have the time and energy to do anything more creative this year! Other years I've gone more over board but this year I just can't!

Birthday card....

A card I made for Samantha - she likes bright colours.....

My first whimsey jar.

Thank you Stacey :) Here it is - my very first whimsey jar! I painted it at Staceys house on Monday, added touches the last couple of days and finished it this morning.

Edited to add: Stacey I ended up doing dots of stickles around the pot to cover up the dots where the paint had peeled off BUT I actually love how it looks :) I had covered the lid in a thick layer of stickles that took all night to dry anyway so it coordinates with that anyway! Worked out well in the end thankfully - and then I had to use stickles around the neck to cover up the glass that was showing because I didn't paint high enough up the neck - but I guess its just a learning curve ;)

Wednesday

I am hoping for a quiet day at home, then an evening out with Lloyd before going to collect Susannah. Susie is going curling tonight - She's been invited to go curling with her friends family - it's 'Bring a friend to Curling' night and she has been invited for the last two years and wasn't able to make it so this is third time lucky!

Lloyd and I are going out tonight to get Abigails birthday gifts ready for Friday, and run a few errands that we need to do. I've been honoured to be asked to do something very special for a friend and so I want to go and get the supplies I need for that special project tonight. Lloyd has to go and collect his new filing cabinet - which means I get his old one - which isn't very old - it just isn't working for him (yay) - I soooo need this - I get to put all of Abigails homeschooling supplies in it and clear off the sideboard in my bedroom! No more clutter driving me crazy in my bedroom! I can feel organized in there at last!

I'm not sure we'll have time to eat out tonight - maybe at Timmy's...we'll see!

As for today, our school work is focusing around Valentines Day, and I also have a few cards to make - Monday was my friend Samanthas birthday, but we are celebrating with dinner out tomorrow night.

Sam and Abby are already at their books.....Denis and his other workman...and the electrician are already hard at work....I guess I really should get going. I've been awake since 4am though and I'm soooo tired now! blah!
