like: wow! you do such fantastic stuff!!!!
Another great month Debi!! And I absolutely love your creations :) The cards are fantastic and the scrap book layouts are perfect! I love Max's comics :) Looks like he has a future ahead of him! And that baby afghan was great!
Those cards and scrapbook pages are so cute!! And you read some wonderful books.
Wow, I love viewing your creations, Debi! You're one creative and not to mention a talented mom! :D
It's my dirty mind, I know, but when I read your heading "adult fiction," I was sort of expecting porn.
Love the cards and scrapbook layouts. I'll get back to my quilt layout soon, I hope, but first there's money to be earned.
Hi again Debi, I have an award for you here.
I love this list! And I think your cards are fabulous, and I didn't know you homeschool and that you find time to do everything else - read! knit! make things! - is amazing. ALL IN ONE MONTH. And I love the books you did read, and the comic books. I hope your kids make you a hot chocolate as a reward (at the very least!) maybe bring you flowers? :-D
...no, YOU rock :D You've had a productive month, I see!
You are so talented! I have no clue where you find the time.
You may check with Camp Invention and ask about scholarships...they offered scholarships through the school I teach at because they are sponsoring one of the sessions. And there is a little price break if you register early. Bryn is saving her money for animal camp next summer - maybe if it is something the boys really want to do you can rent them out to earn money for camp!
Debi, I am somewhat of a new reader to your blog, and I wanted to stop by and comment. Your cards, scrapbook pages, and afghan are gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing. I think you've nudged the creative side of me today.
Debi--I literally, audibly GASPED when I saw that baby afghan, kind of like this: OOOOHAAAAAA. It is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Is there a particular baby the afghan goes to?
I'm bookmarking this post for later when I finally work up the courage to move into scrapbooking.
And this:
--"Bang"
--"Thwack"
--"Sploosh"
--"Thrack, Splack, Sizzle"
A lesson in onomatopoeia maybe? :P
And because: *HUGS* I know I haven't been around this past month, but I've been thinking about you just the same.
