Need your help with this new card

I have finished this new card but I am stuck with the sentiment. I do have owl sentiments ideas but none that really work with this card so here's where I need your help. When you see this card can you imagine it as a birthday card?





On the personal side we had a great time celebrating Rorys birthday yesterday, the family was over for a bbq, the weather was great and a good time was had by all. The only problem for the day, I forgot to buy candles, so Rory had to pretend to blow out his candles, it was quite funny. Rory had asked the kids if they would help him blow out the candles and they were right there ready to do it, took them a few seconds to realize there weren't any candles to blow out.

Today we purchased a large pool for the backyard. Rory is really, really saftey conscious so it took quite a bit of convincing to do so. I had found one with a cover that had a zipper lock to ensure the kids couldn't get into it when we weren't around. Well after 4 1/2 hours filling the pool with water we go and put the cover on only to discover that the zipper was broken, ugh!!!! So now I have two kids that don't know yet that their new pool won't last 1 day in our possession, what to do with all the water!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers!
p.s. I will be announcing the winner of the thank you card contest tomorrow night, good luck to all that entered!

Yeah a new card

I finally did it, finished a new card. It has been quite a while since I have been able to do this so you can imagine I had a great sense of accomplishment when it was done. I know its just a card but actually crossing a "to do" off the list felt great. So here it is, I would love your feedback on it.

I did make two cards but I haven't yet decided on the sentiment for the card.

Short post today because it is Rorys birthday today and I have his whole clan coming for the party so I have a lot to get done before 3. I don't think it will be a late party so if I can the plan is to finish the second card and work on a layout for each of the boys books.

Finally the blog giveaway ends tomorrow so if you haven't had a chance to enter be sure to do so :)

Here is the link to that post.

Designed an owl card today but......

ah, I finally got around to designing a card, cutting out the components and would you believe I am all out of glue!!!!

What a nut!I guess this means I get to make a trip to the scrapbook store :) I know I can get glue anywhere but Rory doesn't know that :) Just kidding, I need paper too.

I heard something crazy today and I haven't gotten around to verifying whether its true or not. I heard Archie is getting married to.....................VERONICA. As my 3 year old says with animation "WHAT THE?"

Anyway it's midnight here and I am pooped! Have a happy Thursday!

Cheers

New Job, Owls, and an end to ebay

Well not a total end to ebay. I will still be making my pre-made pages, custom pages, and cards but I have closed the store today. Until I can find the right suppliers and the time to dedicate to it I found it really wasn't worth the cost.

I started a new job today, I am a purchaser at a vitamin manufacturer, the location is awesome, 5 - 10 minutes from home, considering I used to commute an hour and 1/2 each way to work this is a huge improvement.
It definitely means more planning on my part, but I am a list maker so this should work out well for me. I think it is going to be a great new beginning for me, I haven't worked outside the home in quite a while so getting back in the routine may prove a challenge, but I am up for it!!!

Owls - tonight I started some new owl cards that will be listed on both Etsy and ebay, I will post pics as soon as I have them.

Finally don't forget to check out the giveaway I am having here http://kriskroppin.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-giveaway-10-mini-thank-you-cards.html

Cheers
