To Kingston, Ontario, CA

From the 6th to the 13th we spent our time in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. We hung out mostly with my mom and V, but also took some time to play with C, B and A.

We had a chance to go see Barney Live at the Cataraqui Town Center for FREE! That was awesome. It sucked that we had to wait so long in order to get a seat. J was really tired and very grumpy, but I fed him M&M's and somehow we got through until the show. After all of our waiting for our spot and waiting for the show to begin, the people in front of us, who came in after us, were really rude and stood up, but the happiness on J's M&M stained face was enough to tell me it was all worth the time and the effort. My mom, E, J and I went to that and had fun.

We also had the chance to go to the I've Got Rhythm School of Dance Recital. B and A danced and we got to see some of the dances that V had choreographed. She did great! It was fun seeing V in an adult role and being a teacher and being responsible.
E and J enjoyed the show and enjoyed playing with their cousins. After the recital we all went to Chuck E Cheese. The kids love it there. It was a lot of fun for them. One of my favorite moments was when E, J and V were all riding the little kid bus ride. Impressive that they all fit in there. You can only see J and V in the picture, but E was right behind J on a little bench playing and pushing buttons.

We also got a chance to take the ferry across to Wolfe Island. That was really something new for the kids. We just went to the bakery on the island and got huge cookies, but it was super fun for them going across and back. We saw a boat, and they just loved being on a boat.

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 ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
