Perfect Poison

Can you believe it is September already?  My kids have been in school for almost a month already.  CRAZY!  I have two months till halloween and already I am stressing about costumes.  Baby M is going to be a bee (scored that one last year at Walmart for like $4).  Baby E tells me he wants to be a hot dog . . . or Buzz Lightyear comes up frequently too . . . not sure which he will decide.  J says he wants to be a zombie but when I showed him this creepy zipper face picture I saw on pinterest (which I would totally love to try), he rejected it . . . far too scary, so we will see how that goes.  E wants to be one of the Monster High Monsters.  I delayed it last year, but this year since she has read the books and really still likes them a lot, I will let her do it.  Then I just have to figure out me and the hubs.  Ooh, and then classroom treats have to be made too!  I think I am going to do some stamping for those too . . . we shall see!

This one was my favorite of the four cards I stamped on Tuesday!  I just love this image!  Totally perfect and spooky!  I used the sketch on the Card Positioning Systems blog (CPS280).  Aren't these Krafty Kimmie Stamps just DARLING?!?!?  *squeals*  I seriously want them all!  So fun and easy to color!  Go get some (and seriously, I don't work for the company in any way -- I just love them!!)

Stamps:  Perfect Poison (Kraftin' Kimmie), 2009 Halloween Tags (Papertrey Ink)  Paper:  Halloween Word Mix (The Paper Studio - Hobby Lobby), Tiny Polka White on Black (The Paper Studio - Hobby Lobby), Only Orange (SU!), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah)  Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)  Accessories:  Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), SewEasy Fancy Fiber - Bakers Twine Neutral (We R Memory Keepers), Orange Ribbon - Harvest Home Collection (Michaels Inc.), Sewing machine (Singer), black thread (Singer), copic markers.

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...
