Congratulations to the Baltz family!

Aside from my obsession with papercrafting, I've been doing a bit of knitting.  These are my third pair of booties... lots of girlfriends having babies these days.

This cute little box houses a yellow pair of non-gender booites, a onesie to match and burpie.  The booties and burpie were a breeze but the onesie was a little more daunting of a task for me... not sure I'll try applique anytime in the near future... it was hard to perfect for me... I'm a bit of a perfectionist I have to say and keeping those shapes straight (even after pinning) was hard and then trying to finagle this itty bitty onesie around my sewing machine... ughhh!

I hope Baby Baltz feels the love when wearing them.  A friend was looking at my ensemble and questioned the onesie... what is it?  Well, it resembles an elephant... or, yes, an anteater if you wish!!  :-}

Teacher Appreciation... End of School Year

So I missed Teacher Appreciation week which was the first week of May... I believe!  This is Renee's first year of school (well, preschool) so I need to get the hang of everything and when and what is done for holidays... there's a lot to be remembered!

I was at Trader Joes doing a little shopping and came across some schoolhouse alphabet cookies and bought them knowing Renee would get a kick out of them.  Epiphany... What a perfect fit for teacher appreciation gifts for the end of the year.  Renee's teachers are Miss Terry and Miss Jenny.

I bundled the cookies up in some cello bags, placed them in clear pails.  I found the T E A C H E R poem on the internet... changed a few lines to personalize it.

Get Well

Hmmm, long time no see!!  I took a Managerial Accounting class this semester and it's finally over... had my final exam yesterday... hoping for a B!!  I won't be taking any classes this summer so I can just relax and get focused on what I love... PAPER!

So here is my club card for this month.  Just bought the Thoughts & Prayers... I had fun with SU's chunky glitter, I just love this stuff.
