Baseball and yummy comfort food!



Hi everyone! I hope that this has been a good week for all!

It's been a long while since I have posted any pictures of my family or some yummy comfort food. I hope you don't mind if I share a few photos with you.
I am so proud of my beautiful boys! :)

Baseball update:
Ken is in A-ball and Keiji is in T-ball.
Ken is an awesome hitter. He's a lefty!
Keiji can hit a line drive past second base consistently off the tee and gets great joy running the bases. Sometimes, we have to yell "Come back, Keiji" when he runs over a base and keeps on going out into the pastures. LOL!





Here are the cousins after a day of baseball and dinner together.



Here is Ken holding Mia... precious!


Me and my boys!



Ready for some yummy comfort food photos?

I made my very first crock pot Pot Roast today!
It turned out really great!




Here's a quick and easy Mini Cinnamon Toast Smore's that I whipped up for the boys:


OOEY GOOEY CHOCOLATE GOODNESS!

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!

It's Graduation Celebration Time over at Pink Cat Studio!

Hi everyone!
Happy Thursday!

Melissa has 6 new digi stamps to share with you today!

With school coming to an end in just a few weeks, these new digis are perfect for the graduation celebrations!



When you purchase anything from the digital or rubber stamp store TODAY (May 13th), you will receive the Owl Graduate digital stamp for free. The stamp will be emailed to you separately, within 12 hours after you make your purchase.

Here's my sample using the Owl Graduate digi stamp.
You know about my obsession with owls, right?
This little PCS Owl is one of my favorite owls ever!!




SO cute!!

This is a gift card holder. Here's what it looks like inside:


I used Whitewash Collection Core'dinations for the base.
I LOVE this cardstock!
It's so easy to distress with a little piece of sandpaper!

The designer paper is from Making Memories.
Copics were used to color in the image.


Now hop on over to Pink Cat Studio Blog and check out the fabulous projects created by the PCS Design Team!

CCM Sketch #4

Time for another fab sketch from Natalie over at Chi Chi Memories!


I had a lot of fun putting this one together!



Here's my sample using A Relax Moment:






Everytime I play around with this image, I wonder what she is thinking about.
I think that's why the sentiment "Thinking of You" has been so popular with this image!!



The designer paper is from Three Bugs in a Rug (Hoppy Bird-day).
The digi image was printed onto Stamper's Select White cardstock.
I coloured her with Copic markers.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
Those pretty rhinestones are from Colorbok.

Now, hop on over to Chi Chi Memories for all of the information on this sketch challenge! I can't wait to see what you do with the sketch!
