Happy Saturday

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!! We are busy busy busy getting ready for my son's birthday party tomorrow. That means cleaning the house and the yard, making cookies and cupcakes, getting party games finalized, etc! We are having a large number of 8 year olds over tomorrow. Thankfully the weather is supposed to be beautiful, so they can all play outside.

While i'm taking a break from frosting and pine-sol (not together, mind you), I wanted to share one more layout I did using the January Homeade Treats kit from Color Me Daisy. My sister and my daughter share such a special bond. They are so alike and love to hang out together. My sister is an amazing aunt and I'm SURE will make an amazing MOM too!! She is set to have twin girls in about 8 weeks and I could not be more excited!!


I don't usually use green on layouts, but I really loved the green in this kit. The bottom layer of the lollipop flowers are notebook paper that I 'borrowed' from my daughter's backpack. Just used my punches, scrunched, inked, then layered. I love making these flowers!



Hope you are having a great weekend. I will be back on Monday (hopefully) to share lots of photos of the goodies i'm making and the party. If I survive!! Ha ha!! Thanks for stopping by-
