I've been waiting for Friday...the last couple weeks have been way too busy. I'm exhausted, no other word for it, exhausted.
Last night was my son's soccer pizza party...tomorrow is his last game of the season...whew! After his soccer game we're headed to a birthday party....not just any birthday party but my nephew's 1st birthday!!! We're doing a western theme...bought him a fun stuffed horse similar to this one. We actually found his at a garage sale...it cracked me up so much that I had to pick it up. I realize that a 1 year old won't be able to ride it BUT his two sisters (4 & 3) will love it. This week I picked up a cowboy hat and bandanna...also added this book {ahhh, we read this to the kids when THEY were younger}. I also had to pick up a tee that says: "My Aunt Rocks!".
I finally cracked open my Cowboy Kid...I bought it from someone {was that you Julie?}...my memory is soo bad. Anyways, I knew that I wanted to do something using that set and came up with this little 4.25 inch square card...LOVING that fabulous striped Stampin' Up ribbon. I knew that I wouldn't have any problems using the stuff since I decided against it for my Christmas cards...it is sooo versatile.
I'm chuckling that I'm actually sharing this picture...this is where it all happens..lol. This is what happens to my workspace when I'm working on projects for my Holiday Gift Fair. At one point, I swiped everything off of the desk top so that I could work on projects...Guess what I'm doing on Sunday? I'm getting organized to start the process all over again. We're planning another Gift Fair in December....I'm getting closer to my iPod Touch :)
