Yay, Andy is home. Gee this trip was a long one. Even with our trip away too, it felt long. He came home to lots of hugs and screams and laughter. So nice for him now the kids are older.
He came bearing gifts and the kids thought they were in heaven. So did I. He was so thoughtful and brought me a couple of charms for my charm bracelet. I only like to get things that are meaningful. And I always try and buy one for each country I've travelled to. Well I didn't have one for China, and now I do. Way cool.
Thought I might show you a card I made a couple of weeks back. It was my friends birthday so I made a card, then loved it so much I made the same exact card for a 'thank you' I had to give. It worked so well. And to be honest, this design was actually taken from a sketch, but darn it I can't remember where the sketch comes from. Sorry.
So have you checked out No 8 Wired? Cool dare on this week and a couple of LO's up already. Here's mine again in case you haven't seen it.
The challenge this fortnight is to only use one manufacturers products. That means no extra cardstock, or embellishments from elsewhere. And its actually harder than it looks. Mine is all JUNKITZ! And they are sponsoring the dare this week, so if you enter you might win some really cool stuff.
Have a good weekend.

OMG Trina!! That LO is freakin sensational!!

Yay for the homecoming.
And LOVE that family photo. Is it with a fixed lens? Love D *sharp* in the foreground and the rest the family blurred in the background. Blurred but there. All parts of the family.

Am glad to hear that Andy is back home safe and sound - I know when DJ goes away on business the screams from the kids when we meet him at the airport are just the best!!!!

A home coming is always nice, but even better when he bears gifts :)) It's must be nice to have everyone home again. The card is great - glad those sketches are coming in handy :) and the LO is super stunning as always :)

I have to agree with everyone else about the photo. It is fantastic. Maybe I should bring our camera over with me and you could help me out. I still haven't done the course yet and don't even know how to read the light readings and focus etc... Between you, Paul and Vanessa I'd be sorted.
