Happy Birthday Heather!!!

Heather turned 28 over the weekend and it's spring so here is a little card to celebrate them both! 

Happy Birthday Sistah! 

Going ONCE... TWICE... SOLD!!!

Thursday, March 5th is the Riverside Elementary Pancake Dinner and Silent Auction... I made a bunch of cards awhile back to be places in the auction but last night I decided I wanted to add something else... I thought of the cute clipboards Erika and I made... Of course I didn't have any of the necessary supplies (clipboards,Modge Podge, tags). After two days of running around and late nights cutting paper, glueing, and tying ribbons they are complete and ready for the the highest bidder!!! 

Erika and I like to say we are going to do fun little projects... I think we said we were going to make these cute hand made bags about two summers ago. I am sure there have been many other projects we have said we would like to make and never took the time to create them. Or we are too busy going on adventures... WELL... this Christmas I arrived in New Hampshire and Erika had all the supplies ready to go to make decorative clipboards... They weren't completely finished when I left to go back to Ohio... so while I was there last week we took a few minutes to complete our cute clipboards... we will be styling and organized!!! 

Happy PRAXIS Day Anita!!! 

You are going to do a great job! This is the card I created to celebrate Anita and her big day. I am in love with adding a little bling to my cards. I think it adds just enough something-something to make the card look like a million bucks! 

GIGGLE

Erika had this great idea for some cute wall decorations for Melissa's shower and then told me she didn't have the time to make them so of course I told her I'd take care of it... well, with the help of Tammy (and Toby) we cut out all the letters. I took a little trip to my favorite papercrafting store in Derry, NH (Scrapbook Island) and the rest is history... 

Little Boy Gorgenyi!!

Surprise Melissa

Happy Baby Shower!

We celebrated the new addition to the Gorgenyi family on Saturday. I had a great time visiting with family and friends and watching Melissa open all the fun little baby items. I can't wait to meet this new little one! 

Happy 30th TL!!!

Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday dear, sweet THIRTY year old.... Happy Birthday to you!  

Happy Birthday Tammy Lynn.

I hope it isn't as scary as you thought it would be. I know I have months to go until my big day. Thanks for testing the waters for me. Here is the card I created for this momentous occasion. Enjoy. 

We can't wait to meet you Lily Loftin!

Mary, Sara, Sarah and I (the old 4th grade team at RSE) met to celebrate the almost arrival of Sarah's baby. Little Lily Loftin will be coming very soon. We met at Brio at Easton for a wonderful dinner. We each bought Lily a new book to start her off reading from the get go! Here is the card I created to honor the occasion. 

2 more down!

Congratulations Megan and Christy... you completed your PRAXIS 3 evaluations. I am confident that you both did a great job. These are the cards I create to encourage the girls. I am a big fan of the light blue card with the floral background. I used a couple blue gemstones for some added bling!

I didn't realize how much I loved the owl stamps until  started keeping track of the cards I make. 

I made this card for my dear friends and "teammate" Mary last year. When I told her about my blog she told me she framed this card. She brought it to me for me to snap a photo to add to my page. So here it is... 

Happy Birthday Ellie!

Eliana turned 6 years old on Tuesday, Feb. 3rd. It is hard to believe the little girls are growing up. I am so blessed to be a part of her life. H

This is the card I made to celebrate her 6th birthday. Don't you just love the cute little owl. 

A little birdie told me...

These four cards will be auctioned off early next month at the Riverside Elementary PTO Pancake Dinner. We are trying to raise needed funds for our budget. Part of the proceeds will also help fund the school "Otter" initiatives. The otter is the Riverside's new mascot. So if you would like to own these lovely birdie cards... come out on March 5th to RSE and put in your best offer! 

This one is for Kami, another teacher friend taking PRAXIS 3 tomorrow. Good Luck I know you are going to ROCK-IT!

The PRAXIS is the big evaluation for first year teachers. Once they are evaluated they are then dubbed by the state ready to teach... Thankfully I graduated and started teaching one year before they started the PRAXIS. 

I am in love with owls at the moment. I keep seeing them everywhere. I can't help using them in the cards I make. 

This one is for Mara a new teacher I am mentoring... Good Luck with PRAXIS 3! I know you can do it!

Happy Birthday!

This is a sign created for Friday Birthday Treats at Riverside Elementary School (RSE). Every Friday we celebrate teacher and staff birthdays with a delicious breakfast. We are well known in our district for our food.

If you want to know how I made it just ask. I'd be glad to share my process.
