Here is what we were up to in January! I got my first samples of Bloom Street and made 8 layouts, a coptic book, and a mini album with what I was sent. LOTS more to come! Cafe Rio is our favorite. For Activity Days I taught the girls how to make these colorful butterflies. Knee deep in Creativation prep! We tried a new to us burger place called Bad Daddy's. I'd go back! I got bangs! For a day. Decided they're too high maintenance and now they're pinned back every day lol. Creativation 2020 was so amazing. I have a full recap coming tomorrow! Here's a little sneak peek. I am so bad with words. I speak through my art. But I just want to say that I love these ladies. Oh so much. They get me! They understand me to my core! Every time I'm with them I feel uplifted. Picking the kids up from school after Coding Club. I took a turn reading to Jane's class so I thought this book was appropriate. (Chris, my hubby, her daddy, is a dentist ;) Fox asked if we could go to the mall to get a Mrs. Field's cookie one Saturday, so we did. While there we ate lunch in the food court. The sunsets here never get old. Each one is unique and beautiful. Chris and I went on a fun date! We went to the range and then got some yummy Thai food. My mini album obsession continues! Chris sent me this photo. I love my cat and want to be her sometimes. ibid On the last day of January we went to Arby's for dinner. Fox has finally decided he likes the bun. My Bloom Street order came! LOL to this. When referencing the above photo hehehe. On the crafty front, I reached a fun milestone on Instagram! Thank you to each and every one of you for following along my crafty endeavors! So excited to be joining Scrapbook & Cards Today for another year not only as a Design Team member but also as the new Creative Editor!
