Happy New Year everyone! I know I'm a little late with that one but I do have a very good excuse. We were sick. And I mean we, all four of us, were not feeling very happy. Last weekend I finally came down with the bug my sister and her girls had on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Not very merry for them let me tell you. Well, Mike had to leave the New Year's Eve festivities early(a first) to go hang out with our toilet. By Friday night Parker was running for the bathroom... he didn't make it(not a first). We woke up Saturday to Connor making the dash. He, bless him, made it in time. Big brownie points to my wonderful husband for doing all the clean up and the night watch(another first). Thanks Babe!
Well, now on to more pleasant stuff. Christmas evening I found out that I had won a RAK from Julie! My first ever! Very cute stuff, I can't wait to break into it. Thanks Julie! You'll want to go check out her blog, mini moments, she is so very talented and creative. She also sent along a great little card but my camera did not want to take a nice pic of it this evening. I'll try again tomorrow.
Another first for me is seen here on the right. I did the Monday Try a New Technique challenge from Splitcoast. The very sparkly background was the technique. I'm sorry to say that my camera skills are horrible but I hope to get better as I go. The card is not my favorite. I was thinking of trying out something for Connor's upcoming birthday, so I didn't want anything too "girly sparkly dazzling". He likes blue and yellow, but the yellow looks more like gold. I think I'll try something else,maybe my first Tuesday Color Challenge. I'll let you know how that turns out.
One last first...Patter from triple the scraps, has posted the first study from her "His Holy Name" Challenge. I'll be following along and trying to keep up. I'll post my stuff here as well as uploading to Splitcoast(yet another first). Check back to see what I'm up to.
