LSC201 - My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . .

The limited supply challenge today was to use your favorite things on a card. Easy peasy right? Try narrowing it down to just a few to fit on a card *sigh* I decided to make a baby card using B is for Baby (Hanna Stamps). I had this awesome sentiment that I bought from Elzybells not super long ago that I thought would work perfectly with the images in the baby set. I also used the Mojo Monday sketch on Poetic Artistry for the layout. Favorites used: Hanna Stamps, Elzybells, Barely Banana, Pink, button brads, stitching on cards, copic markers, and most importantly -- BABIES!

I did some copic marker blending to get the colors right -- for an example -- I used Y11 (Pale Yellow) and then went over that with E00 (Skin White) to get a good SU! barely banana color, and I did the same on the pink, used RV02 (Sugared Almond Pink) and then went over it with R20 (Blush) to get a color close to SU! Pretty in Pink. Have you tried blending your colors yet to get perfect matches??? If not, try it!

Oh and have you heard about this blog candy . . . go check it out! I know I wanna win it bad!!!
And StarvingArtistamps has a blog candy giveaway too -- their sets are CUTE!! Go see!

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...
