AZ Museum of Natural History/Organ Stop Pizza

I looked online to find an adventure for us today, and discovered it was free museum day, so we decided to take the crew to the Arizona Museum of Natural History, because who doesn't love dinosaurs!  We took our time and got there after lunch.  We spent a couple hours browsing the exhibits and exploring!  The kids panned for gold and E decided to jump in the water, and when we told him to get out of the roped off water fountain area, he went in more.

Meeting Humpty Dumpty!  There are so many cool random statues in Mesa down town.  (Love that J is picking his nose . . . that kiddo is such a silly character)

M had this great idea that since we were headed into Mesa, we should totally go to Organ Stop for dinner.  We hadn't been there forever!  It was a lot of fun!  The kids really enjoyed the yummy pizza and dancing to the music and eating ice cream.

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!
