Do you ever wish you had a pause button on life? OH, is it just me? hee hee. Sometimes I feel like life is going so quickly and I just want to pause to catch my breath. This weekend was a great one because Troy’s ship was in port and we were able to skype, yay! It is so nice to see his handsome face and we all get to talk and laugh and remind ourselves what a family of four is like. It was a nice Easter, we got to church on time (barely) but a good message and we are excited that Jalen will be volunteering to be an acolyte in our service. Tomorrow brings another preschool fieldtrip, this time to the Glass Bottomed Boat in Kaneohe, so I knew I had to sneak in today to get some projects posted.  Last week Thursday I got some love over at the Club Creating Keepsakes Blog for my under the weather card.  Also there with my pal Lynn, I loved her Brown E layout and my other pal Nicole with her sweet layout. :)

I have two tutorials up right now, the first is over at Peppermint Creative on Miss Mint’s Blog, a project seen in Simply Handmade last year:design your own reusable shopping bag.

I also have a Glimmery Card tutorial up at Tattered Angels’ Educator Blog: Recycled Security Envelope flower card.

I took these pictures of Jordan as we waited to eat a birthday lunch.  Outside the restaurant, I asked him to smile and he just made funny faces. always a comedian. Shelley Castillo’s (soda pop) colors just make me happy and reminded me of my silly boy.

I absolutely love wilna’s coffee cup album, and you don’t even need a coffee cup, because a digital one is included. Its easy to put together and you can add as many or as few extra embellishments as you like. i’m sending this one with some easter pics to Troy :)
