Today's prompt: "Now lets see a photo that represents what you spend the LEAST TIME doing today."
Today's photo prompt was "take a photo that represents what you spend the MOST TIME doing today."
Today's prompt was "show us the most RELAXING spot in or around your place." Since an earlier photo this week already showed my big jetted tub the next thing I thought of was my Sleep Number bed and flannel sheets. I only wish I could get more sleep time. Here is a quote for today -
Today the prompt was to take a picture of your closet/wardrobe. I have a small walk in and it was hard to get a good shot but here is what I got. I found a thought that I really like -
While this is not a new template set from Chrissy - it is one of my favs. You can get it for just a dollar today. Click on the image to go to her shoppe and be sure to check out all the dollar items while you are over at Elemental Scraps. Now unfortunately... I must get back to laundry and housework. Oh yeah... that would be the reason Monday gets a bad name in my house lol.
And here is a funky new kit by Ziggle Designs. When I saw it I thought instantly of the pics of Carson and Savannah that I scrapped below. Funny huh? You can click the image to head over to the Scrap Orchard to buy this kit.
The prompt for day 53 was "your kitchen" Well this is only a part of one wall but I didn't feel like cleaning the kitchen since it was Sunday ( a day of rest ) lol.
Today's prompt "mode of transportation" Well - I must say I would have preferred that this shot was tomorrow's prompt since I have an appointment to get the Dodge Caravan detailed then but I guess that this is more true to life since it is more often dirty than clean.
Today's photo prompt was to take a picture of some wall art in your home. I know I have shared this wall before but this is my favorite wall in my home. I just love the photos Shelly took for me and the Scripture says it all. I am noticing something about my photos I share on my blog..... they are sharp and well focused but after I resize them and post them on my blog they seem a bit fuzzy. I really should look into this and see what I am doing wrong.
I decided I needed to hit that Albertsons deal for $10 off your next transaction when you buy 10 participating items. The total amount paid with tax for all of these 90 items was $47.57! I actually got these 24 cans of Progresso Soup for free by printing the coupons here. You can print 2 of each coupon but I was able to print two sets from my laptop and another two sets from the old desktop downstairs. I tried to print coupons at the Betty Crocker site for some of the other items but for some reason I kept getting an error code and so wasn't able to use any of those but I had a few in my own stash from newspapers. Yes... there is plenty of sugar on the table there but for after school school snacks or a cookie in their school lunch that I pack 4 days out of 5. Or there is always FHE treats, etc. Soups and cake mixes store well for our food storage. So I was very pleased with my purchase. Then when I got looking at my receipts I was excited about the fact that my gas rewards have accumulated and I now can get $1.05 off each gallon of gas (up to 20 gallons!) YIPEE! I am almost down on my gas gauge to where I can take advantage of all 20 gallons. I'll be smiling all the while I pump that gas. SWEET! So fyi... the sale at Albertsons is while supplies last or Tuesday.
I think everything is behind schedule this week. Always happens to me when there is a holiday. So here are my pics for three days.
Day 47 was something new. With it being President's Day and the kids were out from school and Clayne had the day off, we decided to try out a "new" family outing. We drove to Jackson Hole and really enjoyed the fabulous indoor pool there. They have two slides- this is the smaller one. The big one ended in a 3 foot pool and so Savannah could even go down the big one by herself. There is a mushroom water fall as well as another waterfall in the kid pool, there is a hot tub of course and a lap pool. They have a rock climbing wall in one end of the lap pool and it was fun to watch Cheyenne and Clayne give it a go. I am certain we will be visiting this pool again. For the whole family to get in we paid just $25.
Today's photo prompt was something borrowed. Since I am done having babies, many of you know that I watch my niece, Megan, once a week to get my baby fix. She is a delight and we all have so much fun with her. I am so glad that my sister lives near so I can "borrow" her.
Today's photo prompt "romantic" and this was my Valentine from Clayne. Here is a thought:
The photo prompt for day 43 "endless" and a thought:
The photo prompt for day 44 "binding" and here is a thought for today:
Here are the Valentine cards I made for my kids to pass out to their friends today. Cheyenne's is made using Smooches which you can find here. Morgan's is made using King of Hearts which you can find here. Carson's is made using Love Struck which you can find here and Savannah's is made using Kiss My __ which you can find here.
I made a few hybrid items with free downloads I found on the net. The candy bags are for the ladies I visit teach and the water bottles are for the kid's school teachers. The bag toppers link can be found here and the water bottle wraps can be found here.
Treat: They always seem to get plenty of goodies and aren't hungry enough to eat the cupcake or cookie so I am having them make these so that they can take them home if they want. It is made on a bambo skewer for BBQ. Easy Peasy!
Game: Candy Conversation Story: Fill a bowl with Valentine candy conversation hearts. Have party guests sit in a circle. Choose one person to start the game by taking a candy heart from the bowl. That person starts a story of his own creation and must include the words from the candy heart in the story. He then passes the bowl t the next person who chooses a candy heart and continues the story. This continues around the circle with each person adding to the story and using the words from the candy hearts. This game often creates a lot of laughter from the crazy story lines!
Can you guess what the movie photo prompt was for today? Jaws. When I went looking for a thought I found one that compared icicles to a sharks teeth and that made me wish I had used that as my photo for the day but I am out of time and this is what I got. One of the kids puzzles. I remember when I used to set up a card table over the holidays and put a puzzle out to work on in my "free" time. This is something my Mom always did and somehow I have lost the tradition the past decade or so. I think that having all the little fingers around made it too hard but maybe this next holiday season I'll get back to it. Ok enough rambling. Here is a thought for the day:
Today's photo prompt was the movie, Toy Story. This book was given to Morgan when he was a baby by someone very important and I should have photographed it long ago. The book is very worn and Clayne tried to throw it away a long time ago but I rescued it and had forgotten it until now so I dug it out and found the car in the toy box and now I can journal and have the photo in our scrapbooks to keep. So it works two ways for today's prompt... a toy that came as a set with a story book and a story that goes along with it in memory.
Today's movie photo prompt was "Lord of the Rings." Aren't I clever lol? These ring pops will go on the kiddo's class Valentines when I get them printed. Here is a little Valentine thought:
Today's photo prompt was the movie Fantastic Four. Lucky me that I just so happen to have my very own Fantastic Four. And here is a quote I found that I LOVE. Have a great day!
Today's movie prompt was "Pitch Black" and I have never heard of it. I decided to represent "pitch" music and the black keys.
Today's movie prompt was Jurassic Park. I decided to just go with some of Carson's dinosaur toys and a series of books that I have enjoyed with my children over the years. I have fond memories of reading "Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!" with Cheyenne. There is a section that says, "Dinosaurs BIG and dinosaurs tiny. Dinosaurs smooth and dinosaurs spiny." Cheyenne would read the book to me when she was about 4 and she would always say that last part "dinosaurs spicy." I never did correct her cuz it was just so cute! I knew she would out grow it all too soon. So those are my thoughts for this photo today. If you only pick up one of the "How do Dinosaurs..." series, my favorite is the say goodnight one.
Ok so now this week the prompts are going to be movie based. Today was Twilight. I doubt I will see the movie cuz I read the first book and admit that although I am in the minority - I didn't like it. Here is my pic. I embellished it a bit - was inspired by an image I googled but couldn't figure out who to credit for inspiration.
And there are just a few more days to pick up the Scrap Orchard Mystery Mega for just $3. It is so cute so I don't want you to miss the steal price cuz after Saturday it will be $10. Click on the image to go to the market and pick it up. You can click here to go to the gallery at the Orchard and see cute layouts made with the kit which will give you an idea of what is in this kit.
And this is just the bomb diggity! I am having so much fun with the stuff in this kit. I just wish I had more time to play with it all. Chrissy's template is in the center forth row and Mandy's kit is center 2nd row. I love the versatility of this- boy stuff, girl stuff, valentine stuff and everyday stuff! The price goes up on Sunday so click the image to go to the shoppe and pick it up while it is on sale.
Ya ya ya there is more I want to say besides this so I'll be back. Happy shopping!
Today's prompt was actually rainbow but I have had my heart set on orange all week since we started doing colors. Savannah wears these slippers around the house all the time and they just crack me up. She got them last spring as a prop for a song she sang in her Tavaci group. I figure that if they do orange at some point maybe I'll do rainbow then? We'll see.
