She doesn't know the 'BF' came yet!

We spent a lot of time during the last week talking about how the Binky Fairy was coming soon. I told her this morning that today is the day and she even mentioned it to Teacher Margaret when I dropped her off at playschool this afternoon. While she was in her class I went to the toy store and got her 'BF' loot. This afternoon when we got home she told me the Binky Fairy was on the phone and so I had to take the call! I told her the 'BF' wanted to know what toys she wanted and she said "a duck, a dog, and a kitty." Unfortunately the 'BF' didn't get her any of those things but I asked her if she wanted a flashlight, and if she liked books and blocks and she excitedly answered "yes!" Phewwwww.

This evening I told her we needed to get a basket and go around and find all of the binkies so we could put them on the porch for the 'BF.' Once we had them all in the basket she had to ogle them for awhile. She had one in her mouth and refused to put it on the porch with the others. She fell asleep and I yanked that sucker out of there and got rid of all of the binkies. I left the bag of toys and an empty basket. Now I am just waiting for her to wake up but hopefully not until morning. The two pictures above are of her ogle-ing her basket of binkies one last time . . . wish me some sleep tonight please!

The Binky Fairy IS Coming

I have been telling Cami stories of the Binky Fairy to let her know that she will be coming by soon to take away the binkies and distribute them to some needy babies. She knows that if she gives them all up the BF will leave her some toys. She has been a binky baby since the day she arrived. We gave her a binky at the hospital the first night (with some resistance from the nurses) and she's been attached ever since. I've tried poking holes in them recently and it doesn't seem to make a difference, she still loves them. I plan to do this next week so the BF has to go to the toy store and find some good loot. She is 2 1/2 and I am not even sure what toys to get her. She loves princess stuff and I saw a princess flashlight online that I hope I can find at a store. If you have any suggestions for me please share them here!

I really can do two things at once . . .SUSis04

This card covers two things: My SUSis04 challenge card which is any card that is not square or rectangular shaped and also my next swap card for this month's meeting. The swap theme was Summer cards with no flowers.

Here's a quick post. These are cards I've been working on for my 'Wow' card class. These cards are more difficult that my usual cards and use more expensive accessories. The class will be Thursday May 7th.

Inspiration from the Idea Book & Catalog

We had a challenge for our next demonstrator meeting: pick one card from the SU Idea Book & Catalog and copy it, then make another card using the catalog card as inspiration. The yellow card is copied from the Idea Book & Catalog and the green card is my inspiration card. This is a great idea because I always forget to use my catalog for the ideas!! I will get more of these at the meeting and I will post some more later.

Monochromatic Card Challenge SUSis01

Here's my stab at the monochromatic card challenge. This card is Baja Breeze and White. I don't know if you can see it but the rose has Irridescent Ice embossing powder on it.

Mini Brag Book

I made this mini brag book with a CD Mailer and covered it with Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper. Inside of the book there is a hidden pocket on the left and an insert pocket on the right. The album is about 5 inches square. I plan to schedule a class for this soon . . . email me if you are interested!
