Sneak Peek Revealed!


Hey girls!
Remember this sneak peek I showed last week?
I now can reveal what it was!

A few months back, I took part in a PAY IT FORWARD...
I posted on my blog that the first 3 people to leave a comment on that post,
would receive something handmade from me SOMETIME within the year!

The first gal to receive my Pay It Forward is my dear friend HOLLY from Girls at Heart!

I made her a little wooden sign with her blog name on it!


It also was my first time using Modge Podge and a sanding block too! FUN!
I had so much fun making this for Holly!
She is a girly girl and I hoped that she would love her little sign...
and she did!

I used pink fuzzy chipboard letters and my new FAVE those cute PRIMA flowers and some brads! I was always envious when I saw those 2 things used in people's scrapbook pages...
but I don't have to be anymore cause I have some of my own!


I have been SO insanely busy the past few days!
I started my new part time job at a home daycare last Friday, then I worked for Brian Saturday night at the pizza place he manages (and will eventually own) then Sunday I had errands to run with the boys and had to pick Brian up from work. Yesterday we took the boys and spent the afternoon at a water park that was SO much fun! And... I braved a big water slide!
I did it... 3 times... it was SO much fun!
I am a BIG chicken and am afraid of those things and well, anything HIGH in the air that I am not enclosed in. I feel like I have NO control over my falling if it were to happen, and BOY does it send me in panic mode! The first time I went up the slide I held onto my 8 year old son's hand! LOL I was scared!!! His cuteness comforted me though!!
I will post a pic of that experience for tomorrow's Mostly Wordless Wednesday post!

I think I am going to flat out SKIP my past due Scrapbook Sunday post from this past weekend!
I am stressin' a bit about getting it done along with a TON of housework I have due!

Thanks for being such good friends!
Hugs,
Noelle ♥

Water slide is something I don't do...don't like to get my hair wet..I'm a sissy!!

Oh look there's my sign! I *do* love it. Thanks again! I can't decide where to hang it... Seems like it should be in here by the computer- don'tcha think?

I've yet to get to my house work! My floors are gross! ☺
