Yes I am Alive

This has been a very busy last couple of weeks. My oldest son turned 16 on last Thursday, my middle son went camping this weekend for scouts and my youngest son had his Blue and Gold Banquet for cub scouts. Getting ready for all this has kept me very busy. Between my oldest and his school baseball, and my other two in scouts there hasn't been much time for me to stamp. But I do have a few things to share. 1st is the card I made for my oldest son's birthday. I thought it turned out really cool and my son's response when he opened it confirmed it, by his "COOOL".


I made this card with almost everything retired from Stampin'Up!. The sets I used are Catchin Air, So Cool, Collage Alphabet Numbers and In the Stars. The card was made with pacific point, going gray and some very old designer paper, I think it was one of our first and some silver star brads from a hodgepod set. I stamped directly on the designer paper in pacific point ink. I stamped the snowboarder 1st, then masked it and stamped the dude on top of it.

He just learned to snowboard this winter and he is hooked. His dad and a couple of guys from hubbies work took him snowboarding for his birthday. Since they went on a Thursday there were no crowds which was a good thing as there was a constant snowball fight on the lifts.

That same evening Wyatt received an award from school for outstanding academic achievement.This is about one of the only times he let us take his picture. His biology teacher nominated him for this award. He is the only student to have an A+ in the class.

Now for the other two who have kept me just as busy. Garrett had a camp out this weekend for boy scouts and he was one of the many cooks for this outing. Since he was a cook he needed to do the shopping also. Well you know who had to take him, that's right me. This was an experience, to say the least, now mind you every Monday night Wyatt has the fire explorer program he goes to, he needs to be there by 5:30 pm, my youngest son is a cub scout where I am the den leader, we need to be at our meeting by 6:30 pm. and Garrett has scouts on Wednesday nights were he needs to be there by 7:00pm., now on Tuesday nights is my weight watchers meeting at 6:00pm which gets bumped if I'm needed someway else. As you can see I don't have much free time during the week and much less during the weekends as there is always something scout related.

Now back to this shopping, we were to meet at the store at 7:00pm this last Thursday, we didn't get out of the store until 9:00pm, from there they had to go pack the food in the bins they use for their outings. We got home at 10:00pm. Friday we meet at 6:30pm to leave for the outing. I was a driver so I got home about 9:30pm, luckily it was close by. Now on Saturday was my younger son's Blue and Gold Banquet, our pack as been in existence for 50 years so it was a big deal. We were there from 3:30 pm, to help set up until 9:00 pm when it ended. Here are a few pictures from our Blue and Gold.

Thank you for lasting this long. And since you did I have another item for your viewing pleasure.
I made these for our monthly Bunco meeting.

These were so easy to make, spiltcoaststampers has so many great tutorials.

Now I'm off to finish the laundry, vacuum and then find time to do a little of the work I brought home from work. Next week should be a little lighter I will be down one son. My middle son will be off to science camp for a week. That should free up one night to Stamp, I Hope I Hope.

Until then,
Thanks for stopping by.
