My Wish

Rachael has been in a very giving mood lately. Probably because of the big birthday bash at DAC. She is giving away the beautiful and glittery (which is probably why I like it so much) "My Wish" kit over at her blog.
This is what I made with it, but I have made it into a QP and Rachael is allowing me to give it away. Yay!!
Download Here
And don't forget to visit Rachael's blog to get the kit.

P.S. For those of you who read this to learn about the (less than) exciting exploits of my life, I'll get something up tomorrow.

I think my brain ran away.

Today, I paid the bills like a good girl. It was all going fine until I opened the utility bill. I couldn't figure out why I owed them so much money. I started reading, and they didn't think I paid them last month which I was pretty sure I did, so I went to my bank online to try to figure it it. Sure enough, I did pay them. Next I called the utility company. We were all confused. Finally they told me to bring in a copy of the check front and back. By the time I got to the city offices they had it figured out. I sent the check for the internet company to the utilities office and the other way around. This would not have been a big deal except the utilities check was like 3 times the amount of the internet check. Oddly nobody at the internet office the utility office or the bank noticed this and both check went through. So yes, I am feeling super brilliant right now, and as if that wasn't enough when we left the city offices I put Caibo in his car seat and buckled him in it. The only problem was that I had been using the car seat as a booster seat, so it wasn't buckled to the seat of the van. If you have seen my brain could you please return it to me. I think I need it.

Oh yeah! That's what I was doing.


Ok Now that my brain is back (well mostly) I can say what I was going to say. I made some more stuff with Rachael's lovely kits Grade School and Varsity. I like them so much I'll probably make more when I get my brain all the way back. As always, you can find these awesome kits at Rachael's store

Varsity

Rachael has been hard at work yet again. This week she came out with two beautiful kits: Grade School and Varsity. All the red, white, and black got me thinking back to my days at BRHS. I got a little brave and pulled out some pics from back in the day.
If you knew me in high school be warned you were probably in the pictures too. If you didn't know me in high school, be prepared to laugh your butt off, because I was a dork. Anyways, I've only done one so far, but there are more to come.

Starry Starry Night

When I finally did get Jade to tell me about her day at school, I was pleasantly surprised. I asked her what they did in art time. Honestly, I was just asking question to try to spark some kind of excitement. I didn't even know if they had art time or not. She said they had talked about an artist that drew funny paintings that people made fun of and he was so upset he cut his ear off and they still made of fun him and he was so sad that he died.
I'm really proud of myself because I remembered this story from school. I asked her if they had talked about Van Gogh and she said yes. I asked if she had seen any of his paintings and, she replied, "Yes, 'Starry Starry Night'"
I don't remember learning any art history until middle school. At this rate, she'll make it to second grade before her homework is too hard for me to help her anymore. I'd better get studying or something.
