So a couple weeks ago, Emma, Jen and I went and did a class at U B the Artist in McKenzie town. We had so much fun and learned the most amazing craft, Glass Fusion. This is a picture of the coaster I made, it's orange, red and a deep turqoise. It was really easy to make but so amazing to be able to create something from your own mind in glass instead of buying something that looks cool in a store for double the price! Needless to say I will be going back, you can make all sorts of things, they have night light kits, necklace kits, and then they have just different shapes of base glass that you can add colors and shapes to, or you can create everything from scratch, it's fabulous.
As well, last week on my b-day Cy, Olivia and I went back to the same shop and created a butterfly tile for Olivia's room. We used her little tootsies to create the wings for the butterfly and then I filled in the body and accents. It turned out perfectly, its red and black (the red looks a little pink here) but it'll hang up in her room and I hope that she can appreciate it for at least a couple years till it embarrasses her when she's a teenager! LOL
Then last night Emma, Carrie and I wen to Michelle's for a card making night, (we had a blast by the way, thanks Michelle it was awesome!) And we created these three cards, isn't Michelle amazing! She pulls these ideas from that fabulous brain of hers! And if I do say so myself, my cards look pretty darn cute, and I'm rather proud of them.
And last night was Olivia and Alyssa's first official sleepover, they slept in the same room and seemed to enjoy each others company, we didn't even have to go up and break up any giggle fests or anything! Such well behaved girls, much more behaved that the girls downstairs for sure! LOL!!!
So I have to give credit for this frame to Michelle, I stole this idea from her. But I created it for Lindsay, a co-worker of mine that just had a little girl named Scarlett. I didn't have the stamps that Michelle had so I used those foamies, they're fabulous!
Olivia is SO close to rolling over. I put her on her blankie from Auntie Nicky today so I could take a picture to show everyone, when you put her on her back she pushes with her left leg and kinda balances with her head and sholder, she just needs a little push and she's over. I've tried showing her how to throw her leg over but she just thinks I'm playing and giggles at me. Oh yes, she's giggling now too, forgot to post about that one. It's this rather funny sounding screech/giggle noise, but it's darn cute. She's changing every day, the baby is slowing slipping away and the toddler is emerging...how the heck did she grow so quickly? Where was I when she was doing this !
So I've started giving Olivia rice cereal....ok, started "Trying" to give her cereal, as you can see, she's not sure of it right now. It's watered down so much that it's practically soup, but she can still feel the change in the consistency of it. Just as picky as mom, too bad eh! But we're trying a little at a time and this morning went a bit better than last week. But it's quite funny when she's sitting watching us eating dinner and watching the fork go from our plates to our mouths it's really cute.
Our pupps were our first children. So we still hold a soft squishy part in our heart for them. This is them being all cute n' cuddly the other nite, I couldn't get the camera quietly enough to get the picture of Gimli with his arms around becker as they were sleeping, but I like this picture way better. I think I'll be making it into a scrapbook page. And then of course since Olivia is the star of this blog, I had to add in one of her cuddlin
g with her brothers. Compared to the last picture of her and the dogs lying around she's getting
