Your Next Stamp FIRST Challenge
Number of View: 439
I’m getting too old. I was picking my daughter up from the bathtub, and I pulled my back. Couldn’t move for a while, and my back still hurts. I almost didn’t finish this project, but THANK GOODNESS for Motrin!
Here, I put Skating Fun Fhiona from Your Next Stamp on a box. Looks more like she is skating, heehee.
Hexagon Box Template (Large) Set by Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs. It was soooo easy to put together.
Paper: s.e.i.
Created for Your Next Stamp’s very FIRST challenge: Pink and Yellow.
Heeheehee. I won (random draw) this Skating Fun Fhiona from Your Next Stamp Blog. I never expected to win, so it was VERY fun surprise. All you have to do is, be a follower to Your Next Stamp blog, and you get a chance to win YNS stamp every month. Woohoo!

Last Monday (10/12), Kyle said ABSOLUTELY everything must be Thomas the Tank Engine for his birthday party. I was still tired from the family wedding the day before, so I agreed to it. Even though I was planning on making his party table absolutely fabulous with my paper crafting projects. I was kinda glad I didn’t have to make anything. I was worn out. Too bad for all the cute stamps and supplies I’ve bought for the party. None were used. =(
Tuesday: Still tired. Bought some Thomas party goodies. EXPENSIVE!
Wednesday: Still tired. Got a flu shot. More tired. Started to rain. Gloomy~
Thursday: Kelleigh was showing off (heehee) her newest box template to her creative teams, and I felt motivated again to create something. I used this template to make 36 party favors. I’ll share the photos this Thursday when she releases the template at theDigiChick.com.
Friday: I let Kyle help me with the party stuff, and he didn’t mind everything wasn’t Thomas. *whew* Wish I had started working on it sooner. Didn’t have enough time to make much. *sigh*
Saturday: Still raining. The party at 10 am. About an hour drive from our house. The party place was right next to train tracks, and that was the inspiration for the travel theme party that I had in mind.
Meagerly decorated party table. I was planning on putting the train track (Stampin’ Up! Wheel stamp) just on the center of the table. But, Kyle wanted to do it. I loved his version better.
Used the circles from Thomas confetti for the chocolate nugget trains. Cut sticker sheet margin and used it to connect the wheels.
Put buttons to make candy cars. I REALLY wanted to make the matchbox cars, but didn’t have time for it *sigh*
A lot of kids were sick and couldn’t make it to the party. It was at a moon bounce place. One kid broke her arm at the party. Yikes!
Here, Kyle is making birthday treats for his class. I wanted to use Taylored Expression’s Cuppie stamp instead of the Thomas, but Kyle stopped liking the Cuppies ever since I made the pirate ship.
I didn’t want to bake cupcakes cuz then I would have to put frosting on top (too messy, and Kyle’ll only eat frosting) and I’m never good at pouring the batter into the cupcake mold without spilling it every where.
We baked a chocolate cake in a baking sheet instead and scooped it out with spoon and put it in the clear plastic cups. He put lots of sprinkles, stuck spoons, put Thomas decoration, and wrap it with sandwich bags.
Overall, Kyle LOVED his birthday celebration.

Yesterday was BIL’s wedding. Kyle behaved so nicely and took very good care of his little sister, Bailey. So thankful for my wonderful kids.
Today is my wedding anniversary. Seven years together! I am a complainer and tend to dwell on bad things that happened. And being married to an oldest son of the oldest of the oldest son hasn’t been easy especially with my picky personality. But, I am very thankful that I am married to a man who can put up with me. And I am so grateful for my kids.
We were so tired from BIL’s wedding, we didn’t celebrate our own wedding anniversary. How romantic~! Still thankful. Kyle said to me last night, “Mom, you were so pretty at the wedding.” How could I not be thankful! Wait a minute, maybe it was his tactic to stall his bed time. Hmmm… Still thankful!
And THANKFUL for all my blog friends! I appreciate you!
Tiny Twinkles go to…

Gotta go pick up my daughter from her school. I’ll add the ingredient list later. =)
I’m a Taylored Expressions Key Ingredient subsriber and love participating TEKI challenge every month. Last month I found out I won (random draw) some goodies. Woohoo! It was Crystal Twinkles and Multi-color Twinkles. I love these Twinkles!!! I’ve bought a lot of them back in summer which will last me for a very long time. So, I decided that I would give my winning prize to one of my blog friends if I ever get featured on Stamp a Sweet Impression.
Well, I didn’t know I would be asked to be their Friday Friday so soon. Yikes! What an honor!!!
I’ll draw a name from this post comments on Monday October 12, 10 pm EST. My BIL is getting married this weekend, and I have to put up with (Ugh! Heeheehee) A LOT of in-laws (ugh!). Some are staying with us, and I need to clean the house!!!! Ugh! If you know me, you know how much I hate cleaning the house! Wish me luck! I hope I can survive this weekend.

Hello~!
Heeheehee, please check out my very first tutorial on the Hybrid Chick blog. Urmmm… You might notice that my writing is soooooo much better on that post. That’s because I got some help, heehee. THANK YOU KATHY!
It’s about how to make robot favor boxes using Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs’ Top Heavy Box template. These robots will go on Kyle’s birthday party table. Gotta make some more.
