A bedtime prayer! The old fashioned one creeps me out so I taught my boys a different one that I got out of a prayer and grace book. It goes like this...

Dear Lord I pray

As day is done,

Look down upon

Your little one.

Please stay with me

Throughout the night,

And keep me safe

Till morning's light.

Amen

And YES... the bee is on a wobble :o)

Some not even in one piece, be it body or mind.  I want to Thank all of those out there who have served, currently serving and getting ready for service! Without these brave men and women we wouldn't be able to live as free as we do.

THANK YOU!!!!

New Markers :o)

So...as many of you know from me stating before, Copic markers are not in my budget. Probably never will be and that is okay. I am jealous of those who do have them and I think it's fabulous! Well, I found a marker that will suit my copic needs just perfectly without breaking the bank :o) This company makes several different types of markers and I decided to try the alcohol ones... I Love Them!

My mom ordered these markers for me online. The sets I got were on Amazon for $10.76 each, containing 6 markers. Super fast shipping! I still need a few more, hee hee and then the rest of the colors I will have to get separately on the Marvy Uchida website. In total there are 141 colors plus a white, gold and silver. As you can see from the coloring above, I am trying to learn how to use them and it's fun. Staying in the lines is a bit challenging as these are nothing like my Bic's. They have a soft brush nib, I really like it, I just have to get used to it. And I need a lot more colors to work with or all of my images are going to be the same. This post is for anyone who may want to try these out as an alternative to copics if you are on a low budget like me :o) If you do try these, or have used them before, let me know what you think.

Have a super week!

Hugs!

Teacher Gift #2 2012

So this is the 2nd Teacher gift for this year. Ty's 5th grade teacher is male so I knew I couldn't make him a purse or bag, hee hee :o) Then I remembered I had bought a couple of notepads at my local Dollar Tree with the intention of covering them for a teacher. I used my scissors to rough up the edges of the note card and red mat then curled the edge to look a little worn. I thought about inking it after I adhered it all down so, oh well. I think it still looks cool :o)

Supplies Used

Cardstock- Recollections

Patterned Paper- DCWV The Grade School Stack

Stamps- Michael's $ bin teacher set and alphas

Ink- Memento Tuxedo Black, Rhubarb Stalk, Paris Dusk, Dandelion, Bamboo Leaves

Hugs!
