2Fer!

I know, I know...it sounded more exciting than it really is! Fooled you!

But now you're here, so stay and LOOK!

Today I have two cards pubbed in Scrapbook News and Review June 2011 issue.  I can share now!

A card I made for a dear co-worker who wised up and went to a different department.

I sure miss him :)

I hand drew a woodgrain pattern on that chipboard piece and went in and added some glitter to color it in.

I love this card ;)

I had some fun with stickers on this one!  Crate Paper rocks!  I love them!

Believe it or not, my favorite part of this card are the teeny clear pebbles!  Lol! Sigh.

In recent news, the Kao Family had a wonderful week!  We tired the kiddos out with various outings that knocked them out as soon as we got back home!

We watched "Up" outdoors at a park.  Hubby had to have his gummi bears.  Too funny.

Sher, I don't know if you're reading this but...remember when he wanted to stop by the store to get a bag of gummi bears to take to the Janet Jackson concert and I was like "Um, it's not like watching a movie..."...LOL! I'm still cracking up over that!

And my smart sis brought her air mattress.  Of course, the kids left my side to sneak in between my sisters!

I love my family!

There were face painters there.  So cute!

 

And my girl decided on that dog from the movie...whatever his name was....

The funny thing was, it was a "dog park"...people let their kids run around barefoot....um...what do you think is hiding in the grass at a dog park??????  Doggy doo!  Ew.  I'm such a bi*ch I kept on watching to see if the kids would step in it because I know exactly where a bunch of doo was!  I know, don't worry, Karma will get me!  It's little devlish things like this that make me the not-so-sweet-as-I-seem person I really am!

Muah..ha ha ha!!!!

 

Fun times!

It was a month in the making.  My sister planned a surprise.

For Mother's Day, she flew in for the weekend.

We plotted and got Mom to come to The Purple Cafe in Seattle.

What a fun time :)

Loved all the windows and light.

Seattle is gorgeous!

Crab Cakes!

Bread Pudding!

And, of course, I made my Mommy a card:

My Dad was joking with Mom and said her Mother's Day lasted 5 days.  My sister flew in on Wednesday and so it was family fun every day until my sis went back home :(

Friday we whisked her away to The Alderbrook Spa Resort for an overnight trip.

Fun times!

We had so much girly fun!

Isabel made me something sweet at school. My heart melted....

And, I guess in the case of Oysters:  The third time's a charm!

I decided to try them one last time...and it was awesome!  Yummo.  I figured, I just need to drench it with tons of lemon and hot sauce!  My mouth is watering...

I am blessed with the gift of family, a loving and amazing mother, and children that never cease to amaze me.
