Baby Shower Activity Book

We are making activity books for each guest to keep them occupied until all guests have arrived. Each one (40) is unique and these are some of my favorites.

Friday Night

I can remember going out every Friday night. Not just going out; but staying out until the sun came up the next morning. I can barely stay awake past 9:30 pm now. Usually on Friday nights now; I am cropping with the Friday Night croppers. Tonight; everyone seemed to have something else going on. I was really just too tired. It has been a long week! I cannot wait to get back on schedule and crop every Friday night. I get more done when I am with the girls. I am on track with completing my uncompleted projects. Well until next time; hopefully Sunday; have a great day!

Pop Dots

I buy lots of supplies and when I catch something on sale or clearance items; I buy it regardless if I need it at the time or not. My philosophy has always been; Someone may need it or I may need it down the road. So many moons ago I caught Pop Dots on clearance at Wal-Mart; $0.69 each pack. I bought 10 packs. I passed them on to someone else because I didn't like them. I went to Michaels and again found some pop dots on sale; I only bought one package because I was a little iffy on them after the Wal-Mart incident. Well, I used them today for the first time. I wished I would have bought them out. They are call All Night Media Pop Dots and come in a very plain package. I love these things! I will definately be on the lookout for more of these.

Putt Putt

This is probably one of my favorite layouts. A tension mistake on my Cricut produced the Grand Prix title. I also created a golf ball with my Cuttlebug and used a new technique of chalking words in the journal.

Lil' Bo Peep

I did an album for my daughter and her boyfriend. It is called 2009 Adventures and each month has between 2 - 6 pages. In this picture; she dressed as Little Bo Peep and her boyfriend went as a Hillbilly Farmer complete with the sheep. She is 4 months pregnant in this picture.

Fifth Avenue

I know this is probably hard to see; but I had to leave it in the album. I have a mini 4x6 album attached to the page protector that included several shops on Fifth Avenue in NY.

Ta-Dah!

My daughter made her boyfriend a cake for his birthday. She jumped out of the cake. It was awesome!

Baby Shower Invitation

The invitations (40 of them) I made for my daughter's baby shower.

New Year: New Purpose

The new year has started and I am going through a "New Purpose" stage. I am going to set more time aside for me. Some people may think I am selfish for setting aside time for me; however this is not the way I see it. I am going to be a first time grandmother in March-my time will be spent spoiling this child. I want to do more for my community; me personally. I also want to do more cropping.

I always make the same new year resolutions - eat healthier and exercise more. Well, 6 days in to the New Year and I still haven't exercised once. Food washed all that bothers me away!

I am hoping that January 20th brings good news to our family. If all goes well; we will have a new house and Claire's Croppin' Corner is going to be more than just a blog.
