"Grace" altered board book

Jess mini book

3 days off!!!

I've been working with the twins A TON the last few weeks...50-60 hours a week...you all know thats way too much work for me!! I finished my projects for the Rusty Pickle Amazing Race Design Team contest and am sending my stuff this weekend...I'm sure I don't have a chance in hell of winning, but its good practice for other contests. This specific one asks that you use 90% of their product which was kinda hard as I didn't want to spend a ton of money...trying to pay off the credit cards, not add to them!! The "Jessica" book used a free RP kit insert from one of the scrapping mags. The "Grace" book which is my altered project entry (altered board book) used RP's chocolate bunny line. My subjects are so adorable, so I'm hoping to get extra points for that!!! I love you, Grace and Jess...

Window Box

my beautiful mess...

Sat down to do some serious craftin' today but can hardly find a thing in my mess...I'm feeling like I have NO time to scrap since I've been working with the twins so much....altho I do love my job!!! and they have really come a long way since I met them last Dec. Hoping to get another 6 months with them...will find out in the next few weeks if their case gets renewed for another 6. Anyway, back to my mess...so i sit down to work , and I spend half my time organizing all the yummy supplies I have...I guess thats half the fun. I'm still working on a three part project for Rusty Pickle which needs to be turned in by June1....pix to follow soon of the altered book I did of Grace.

Chuck and I went to dinner at Geno's East last night....yummy! We brought the Scrabble game because it takes forever to get your pizza at this place. We had fun and the pizza was delish!
