Bubble Baths, Barbie Houses and Other Birthday Excitement

E turned 5 years old today! I cannot believe I have a 5 year old. She is too precious and makes me smile everyday (smile and pull my hair out *wink*). To celebrate, we decided to just have a family birthday party this year because we just moved and have not made a ton of new friends in our new area yet, and it is too far to drive for our friends where we used to live. E wanted to have a Tinkerbell party, so we made Tink cupcakes and we had Tink plates for her. We spent the morning relaxing and watching cartoons while M put together the new Cozy Country Doll House by Imaginarium that we got for E. She was so excited and was helping him put it together. I worked on E's birthday cupcakes while they worked on the house together. It was relaxing and slow paced.

After the doll house was together, we got the kids ready for the day by giving them a bubble bath in the big tub in mommy and daddy's room. They love it in our tub. They love how the jets make lots and lots of bubbles. It is so cute to watch them giggling and splashing and having a blast. They are SO messy in the tub, but it is worth it to see their cute smiles. I could not help but take a couple pictures they were just so cute! *okay enough mommy bragging*

E decided she wanted to have cupcakes and chicken strips for dinner. Weird choice, but I decided we could get some chicken from KFC -- we got that and E wanted cheese and we had E's yummy cupcakes and she got to open some presents.

Here E contemplated her wish before blowing out the candles.


Eating cupcakes and the whole cupcake display.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

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...
