First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! Can you believe another year has passed by? This is one year that I am more than happy to put behind me:) So, *raise your glass* here is to a bright, beautiful, full of love and adventure NEW YEAR - cheers everyone! Now, on with my post . . . . .

After my youngest daughter made a list of things she wanted to do today, daddy decided to help her out with one thing on her list. About a year and a half ago when I was out of town, the girls had a silly string fight with dad in the backyard. It was a giant hit and ever since then the girls have talked about doing it again. After seeing it on Monet’s list, dad decided it was time for another silly string adventure so off to the park we went. After blowing a kiss goodbye to our Christmas tree as we left it at the recycling plant (it was a really good tree), we headed for the perfect area for the revenge of the silly string. The girls giggled and tried their best to get daddy who occasionally let them spray him. And, of course our adventure could not be complete without a tantrum from Monet (she is a pro). Pictures shown above are from our silliest silly string adventure. (Template is from Shabby Miss Jenn Designs)

Then, after tracking down my brother in Facebook, I was finally able to see some pictures of my two nieces. He is really good at updating the world with photos, just not his sister LOL. Anyways, I have been learning some new Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator tricks these past two weeks and I came across a really cool tutorial by Taylor Made Designs. I just LOVE this layout. I decided to give it a try and although my layout is not nearly as good as her original, I think it looks cute and I just love the adorable smile on that cute little face.

Again, I find myself trying to revive my blog. Time always seems to slip by so fast and now it is Christmas time. So, just what have I been doing? I have been working and going to school. Yep, I decided that it was time to pursue my degree so off to school I went. My first semester was lots of work but thanks to the support of my family I received an “A” in all three classes I took (Art 101, Comm 101 & EDU 234) - yipppppeeeee!!!!!!!! My very first ever 4.0 GPA. WOWSERS!! I am proud :) Anyways, you can take a peek at an award I received in my Art 101 class HERE. Below is my favorite drawing from my art class. I just loved that class.
