Katie & Aaron's Wedding Card!

This is Katie & Aaron's wedding invitation that I got several weeks ago. I took it from this...

... to this!  I just printed an insert to replace the invitation, added a new envelope, and voila, I'm done.  It actually wasn't that easy but I enjoyed doing it!

Gift Opening Time!

Here are pictures of Heather opening her packages! (see other post from today)

Today is Heather's Flip Flop Birthday

Last January I began to think about Heather's birthday, which is today! Her 25th! We wanted to do something special, and something fun. So I made it known to friends on the "net" that I was looking for all things flip flop. They also knew she does scrapbooking. You have to realize that this girl would wear flip flops 24/7/365 if we didn't live in Wisconsin. :)

Several people sent scrapbook paper, stickers, rubber stamps, a note pad, erasers, one even sent a mini scrapbook made from a pair of flip flops (left side - pink), and another stamped off sheets of flip flop images (center).

I found the scrapbook at Addicted to Rubber stamps, and bought it when they had a 40% off one item, and free shipping. Found the flip flop tub decorations at Walmart, and found some odds and ends in closeout bins.

There are clear stamps (and a mini ink pad, not shown), Jolee stickers, chipboard shapes, a wooden pair of flip flops (right side), and sequin flip flop decorations for her shoes. All I know is that this has been a fun. The picture shows everything that was collected. When she opens it I'll get some pictures and add them later.

Thanks all for making this a special birthday!

Knitted Dishcloth Donation

I made twelve knitted, cotton dishcloths, one for each month and donated them in gift-basket form to the local hospital for their Children's Miracle Network craft sale that took place today. They were going to use it as a silent auction item. (I also donated some crocheted items: potholders, and a baby sweater.) The basket and tag that was on it are posted here. I asked them to let me know what the basket went for. I'll update that later.
