Something Different

After another bad night of sleeping due to the torture in my back I'm feeling better. {{Thanks to everyone for their thoughts!}} I wanted to share something a little different for a change.

On Sat. before the whole "sick" thing happened I made Joe a birthday cake, his Favorite cake. It's called Triple Coconut Cake. It's called that because--well it's pretty much just coconut!! This is a crappy pic but I'm hoping you get the point. And oh yeah in case you're doing the math my hubby is older than me......

Then to back-track a bit on his actual birthday when I was wrapping his gifts & writing out his cards I realized I forgot to pick up cards from the girls to him--CRAP! So I broke down & made these super quick right before he got home! I kinda like the blue one. It could be better but I was in a rush & my brain was shut down--remember I was sick! I used my new scalloped circle punch--love it!
This next card was the card I made 1st & seriously I'm not thrilled with it. I would like a do-over please.
Last Thurs. when I was at Marissa's school for the Valentine's party I noticed her teacher using baby wipes to clean up some desks & some kids hands (not in that order & she did use clean wipes for the kids). So I offered her a pack of wipes I still have from Gianna's diaper days & she accepted. Of course being the scrapper that I am I couldn't give her something bland & boring so I took this un-used wipe container & spruced it up. I did this today & like my work much better when my head is clear! LOL!
I made it to sort of match the pencil cup holder I gave her for Christmas when she was Marissa's Kindergarten teacher last year (she moved up with the class).
So I leave you with that. Something much better to think of me by than buckets!
