here it comes...

At the last minute I decided to throw Krissy a "school girl" party since she will be starting Kindergarten later this week. I made all the decorations with my Silhouette, some patterned cardstock, glue dots, toothpicks and string. When the party was over we put the decorations on her door...she's still feeling pretty special. It's amazing what you can throw together at the last minute when you've got all the right tools...thanks QuicKutz! And here's to our school girl...

little fish

One of our favorite summer activities has been swimming at Grandpa & Grandma's house! We can't seem to get enough.

water + sunshine + dirt

it's no wonder they are growing like weeds!!

Bake it Pretty

Today I was out there...searching for some inspiration and found this delightful website...





and now I really want this...




too bad it is out of stock...you can bet I will be checking back.

Introducing...L

Today is a big day. Today QuicKutz announced the creation of a new brand that has been years in the making. L...or Lifestyle Crafts is a new brand that will help the home crafter live a more creative life. I am so excited for the first product we are releasing. It is the Letterpress tool...shown here...



I was asked to take some photos showcasing some projects for our new website and wanted to show you a few here as well.












Here are a few of my favorite printing plates:
















And with that beautiful cotton paper and twenty colors of ink...imagine the possibilities! I hope you get as excited about this as I am...anyone up for a craft night???

4 wheelers

Saturday, this crazy bunch went for a 35 mile 4 wheeler adventure...newborn baby included! We were a wagon train of 15 4 wheelers. The kids all did AMAZINGLY well and we had a lot of fun! Can't wait to do it again soon!!!

Monster Sale

Hollie just informed me of a killer sale at The Children's Place. She gave me a promo code to use online: fa79 ...enter at checkout to save an extra 15% off. I got 22 items for $137 including tax and shipping! Can't beat that offer! Thanks for the heads up Hollie!

Obsessed.

If I could I would spend the whole day cooking from this blog...watermelon lemonade, blueberry boy bait and marshmallows would be at the top of the list!

Be Prepared!

Okay, so you know that the preparedness bug bit us a while back...funny thing it took so long since my parents are preparedness die hards! Oh well...better late than never. Last week my mom went to a class to learn more about her new Sun Oven and it was taught my PreparednessPro. I spent a good chunk of last night reading her website and I am determined to take some of her classes. Check it out HERE.

True Adams girls

Tonight our Mom-in-law treated us girls to dinner...gotta love that! We always have such a great time together. We have made it a monthly tradition to get together one night every month. This was an extra special night because we were all together. Cassi (who we haven't seen since last September) was able to join us (she has been away at school in Hawaii...poor thing ;)

{I just love being with you guys...and notice we lined up for pictures in true Adams fashion...oldest to youngest...guess we are true Adams girls now. I can't wait to do it again soon!}
