Sad Day....

Today we had to say goodbye to our kitty cat Casey. She was 13 years old. Casey suffered from type II feline diabetes. For two years we gave her insulin, totally changed her diet and with her help she lost 5 lbs., which was a 1/3 of her body weight. She seemed to be doing so well, until this morning. After talking to our vet and given our options, my husband and I along with the vet felt that putting her down was the best thing for her. It was a horrible decision to have to make but we just wanted her to be no more pain. Our daughters got to say goodbye and we've all been pretty emotional today, so love your pet and give them a hug today. I'll be sending my love to heaven where Casey is finally with her sister Harley running around and having fun.

Soccer Scrapbook!

My friend is our school nurse, her daughter is a senior at another local school. Each year their school has Senior Spotlight Recognition Day. Each seniors family is asked to present the senior player with a memento or memory of their years on the the team. Well my friend asked if I could make her a scrapbook. It chronicles her early days of soccer to her senior year in high school. I was so honored! She supplied the pictures and paper and I did my thing! I think it came out pretty good! Not too bad for 2 days work!

Bridal Shower!

Today was my little sister's bridal shower! She was surprised and received so many beautiful gifts! Here's a few "thingys" I made for the shower!

Gym Class! AHHHH!

Well I do have to say that I am beyond grateful that I don't have gym class anymore! Not that I couldn't use it for sure! I made this bulletin board for our school's gym teacher.

Just a few more......

Let the School Year Begin!

Well, another summer is over and another year of school begins! Big changes here, my oldest daughter, starts the middle school! She's excited, I'm a little sad though, I like seeing her during the day but she needs to move on and up to bigger and better things! My little one, is starting 3rd grade! When did I get so old?! Here are some pictures of the latest bulletin boards my Cricut helped me create! Enjoy!

Washington DC!

We spent a few days in our nations' capital. We have the greatest friends! They own a condo in Arlington VA, and were heading to the Jersey shore for vacation and gave us their keys to the condo! How great is that! We drove, 3 hours from NJ, hit a little traffic, but arrived in one piece. Okay now let me preface this by saying, we saw TONS of great things and it was wonderful to see all the new monuments that I've never seen, however...................we had no idea how freakin' hot it would be! I know, it's August, it's hot in August, I know! I live in NJ! It's hot here in November sometimes! But this was unlike any heat I've ever experienced! OMG! My oldest was so hot she actually was getting goosebumps, a sure sign of heat stroke! Good times! We needless to say came home earlier than we had planned but nevertheless, we saw amazing sites and I'm happy my kids saw DC, but next time I'm going in the winter!
