ATC Calender Card Swap

Some of my friends from Santa Rosa, CA and I are doing an Artist Trading Card Swap and I am having so much fun with it! The theme this time is "Calendar", so every week we do a new month themed card. If you aren't familiar with ATC Swap HERE is a link to explain.

I've also gotten into mini-albums of late and am loving the opportunity to refine my scrap booking and trying new ways to do it! You can totally see mini-album influences on the cards :)

Here are some pictures of my ATC Cards I have done so far. They are all interactive so I hope you get the gist via pics.

Months July-December are next! I'll post when those are done! :)

MOVING!

Here are a few things I have noticed while packing up all our stuff...

1. Maggie is NOT excited to move. She just lays around the house moping from room to room and is acting very strange to it all.





2, Sometimes I find myself doing something that really I shouldn't be but it just makes me happy in that moment so I do it anyways...




Like organizing the hangers by color when they are all going to get thrown in a box in a day.


3. I have MANY socks that don't have matches... Although since I took that picture 3 pairs have been reunited. They were in really random spots around the house. Like in a box at the top of my closet and in a pile of Michael's shirts in his drawers...




I found a jackpot of socks a (and underwear) behind the dryer which was awesome!

4. I found it to be really sad to pack up my craft stuff because that meant I couldn't craft for the next month...

5. Magaret Anne Frank McMaggerton is going on 3 boxes for her stuff.... It's a little ridiculous. I must admit.



6. I have a lot of stuff to give/give back to a lot of people. Hopefully they will all come to our goodbye party.



7. Our house is full of boxes and we haven't packed the kitchen, the bathroom or the shed yet... :( SUPER SAD FACE!

Margaret (Maggie) McMaggerton

I just love my dog. Probably more than I should but she is just so amazing it's hard not to. Here are the top 11 reasons why I love her.

11. She is so curious and smart!






10. She is so small we can take her/she can fit anywhere.





9. She loves Sprinkles cupcakes (both dog and people versions)






8. She always lets me know if something is happening outside that should not be happening. Or if Michael is home and I didn't hear him come in.


7. She gives everyone kisses.







6, Sometimes I feel like she knows what I'm thinking.




5, She does really awesome tricks!









4. I think we need to sign her up for agility training because at the dog fair she did great and learned so fast!



3. She puts up with a lot.













2. Everyone that meets her falls in love because she is so happy and sweet and cute!










1. She is the best cuddler in all of the world.
