Starlight, Star bright, first star I see . . . tonight . . . well, almost . . . .

So I was going through all the pictures on my desktop and I realized that I did not post the ones for this starbook I made. Oops. This was for Super Saturday and I think turned out really cute using the SU designer series papers.

I learned how to do this when I was in El Paso, from Tracy Tripp. She has some cool ideas -- obviously!!!

If you are interested in a tutorial on how to do these, please post a comment and let me know. I have two tutorials that I am working on already, and three's the charm right . . .

The ornaments are from that bucket set and wouldn't you know it, I cannot remember the name of it right now. *annoying* They are colored with a blender pen and watercolor pencils and then crystal effects was placed on it and dried so it kind of bubbles up and has a 3D effect.

You could put pictures on the inside of this and also some journaling and it would look just snazzy open or closed on a Christmas tree. Speaking of which . . . is it really thanksgiving already in just a couple of days? I have so much shopping and cooking to do . . . YIKES!!! I shall try to get some cute gift tags I made uploaded before thanksgiving, and there will be no posting from me on Thursday!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
