4 hours of mosaic

Finally went to the glass store (Rainbow glass in Bristol, PA) and they didn't have the right pink glass that I needed for the secret project. I was heartbroken. Regardless I substituted for light purple (hint alert) since the gift is for a baby girl.

After getting home, the husband wanted to play video games so lucky for him I had a project to work on. I headed to the arts and crafts room aka basement, put on 30 Rock Season 3 and got to work! I cut glass, used the nippers to cut them into pieces and laid out the project. I decided I wanted to add some embellishment so I stopped and will head out to Michaels today. 

NOTE: The deadline is next Friday so the sooner I get it done the better because life always gets in the way of things as you know.

Four hours later my projected was planned, started and I cut a ton of glass so that gives me a head start on new projects. Yea!

Baby Scrapbook

It's friday night, I'm home sick and bored! I can't really do much so I decided to start organzing for the baby scrapbook I'm making as a gift for a friend. She ordered prints online and I picked them up locally, all 170 pictures! I went thru the pics and organized them into different potential section/pages:

(in no particular order)

• baby and dad
• baby in the wilderness
• clowning around
• mom, dad and baby
• baby fun (museums, parks, playgroups, etc)
• baby costumes (this child own an exceptional about of baby costumes!)
• Chow time
• baby's first day
• baby and mom
• Monthly montage (a picture of the baby holding the card with his age that month)
• Baby and other family members

I'm really excited for this scrapbook for a couple reasons. It gives me an excuse to buy a theme baby set of scraps and because it's a gift. Someone will be able to enjoy my pages for years to come!
