Whew! Some much needed breathing space!

...And some shopping!




I totally needed a break- just to be me and take some serious me time. My kids are great about letting me have space- cause they like to do their thing anyhow. Dh, on the other hand, he likes lots of attention and likes to stay busy constantly. Needless to say, I'm just not likethat. I like to do thing swhen I am ready- and they do get done. I work best when I procratinate and then I am under pressure. I suppose that has something to do with how my parents are. I dunno- but that is just how I am.
An how- who else is so excited to hang with the kids tonight to watch HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL II!!! I know I am!
We made a trip to Walmart today andfound the cutest little school accessory case and ended up picking up a couple more HSM notebooks. THey are way too cute. DD's birthday is riht around the corner, so I grabbed htem to save for the big day. It doesn't even mattter to her that they are for school- as long as it's HSM related.

We also found a really cute Japanese inspired tote with the most adorable, colorful heart and mushroom designs on it. We decided that would make a great book bag- rather than the traditional backpack. Ds picked out a hotwheels backpack. lol, go figure!

Here's what I worked on a few nights ago. Some friends came over to scrap. I actually completed this in that time and totally love how it came out!





I made this with the sweet, sweet Love, Elsie LOLA line. I handstitched some bits & bobs around the photo and used some fun rub-ons and stickers too! The B&W letter stickers I picked up at Lowe's for $2!!!

Me & My Sister chillin' on the 4th of July!
