Happy Saturday! This week flew by with school and swim lessons filling most of days. Nic rolled over this week, too! YAY Nic! Here’s a pic from the other day of my lil’ man…

Ok, here’s this week’s sketch…

My sample is INVISIBLE! I bet you didn’t know I had such super powers! The truth is that I did make a sample. I then threw it away and made another. I then threw that one away and started on another when I realized just how ticked I was and set everything aside until I can be happy with this sketch. I know that one of you sweet ladies is going to pipe up and say that what I threw in the trash was possible very nice. Believe me, it sucked. On many levels!! LOL!! I will give it another go soon, tho!

It’s quite obvious that Iwona “Chupa” did not have any problems and created this STUNNER {wow, wow and more wow}…

    Jen, I agree, there is nothing more frustrating than working on a card, and then looking at it and realizing you loathe it. Sometimes you’ve got to just give yourself pemission to tackle an assignment later.

    I know that sketch will sit down, shut up and play nicely for you another time! Have a GREAT day!

    Oh, Jen. I’d loveeee to see these cards that SUCK! I bet I’d still pay money for them. :)

    Little boy is sooooo big. I can’t believe he’s that big already. Tell me they stop growing at that age!!

    Jen, your lil’ boy is adorable! I remember very well, when my Zuzia turned over for the first time, but she’s only 7 months old now, so these memories are fresh indeed :)
    I’m looking forward to seeing your sample - the one that you finally approve! lol

    Your little guy is sooo stinkin cute! My son was very much the way yours seems to be at that age. He still gives me fits, but he also makes me laugh like no one else. As rotten as he can be, he is just as sweet and kind.

    I wanted to share my post about my card. I have a story about my friends who are adopting. Hope you have time to read it.

    You little Nic is so cute! I remember those days but my Nic is now 16, driving his car, playing football & baseball, has a girlfriend and is 6′4″. They grow so fast it just amazes me most of the time. Thanks for sharing!
