Today is going to be a GREAT day! I woke up to an email that said I won the Kids Cooking Activities Ebook from http://www.hail2thesnowqueen.blogspot.com/. I'm so excited! Mason has really wanted to get started in cooking lessons. This will be something special I can focus on just him.

Saturday- my little girl (who doesn't like to be called little) lost her 2nd tooth. Look how proud she is!

Instead of getting a note from the tooth fairy she got a special note from Princess Midna. This is what it says:

Well hello Ashley,
First I want to congratulate you on winning Twilight Princess. I bet you would never guess that one of my very best friends is the tooth fairy. She told me you lost a tooth today and I begged her to let me come in her place.
She gave me 3 important rules:
1. Never be seen. I have to say I was disappointed. I wanted to introduce myself to you. But she said it was very important to obey the laws with the humans.
2. Never touch the human. Only the tooth could be touched.
3. Beware of the cat.
The tooth fairy only gave me enough power to pop in and out of your room. She said that when she let others work for her many times the tooth refuses to go into the next world. So if the tooth remains give it to your Mama. She can save it as a keepsake.
Congratulations! Save your money for something special. And keep your teeth nice and clean. The tooth fairy told me she doesn’t give as much for the dirty ones.

Much Love,
Princess Midna

I had a pretty excited little girl. She was confused why the tooth was still under her pillow until we read the letter to her.

The really funny thing is when I went in to put the note under her pillow, I acidentally kicked her princess chair. Immediately, it makes a "wishing/princess" sound da...ling and says, "You make a very fine princess." I had to laugh at that!

Ashley carried her note to church with her on Sunday and showed anyone she could.

Friday night I got to scrapbook! I created 3 layouts and a necklace pennant. I forgot to take a picture of the pennant- phooey. I used Jenni Bowlin papers in the pennant and I wore it to church on Sunday to show her. I thought she might be proud to see someone wearing her designs.

I am taking a class that my friend Doris is teaching at Get It Scrapped!. (When a title has a punctuation in it- do you still put a period at the end of the sentence?) Anyway, we are getting inspiration from different rooms or places in our homes. The first lesson was on getting inspiration from your Kitchen. I created these 2 layouts:

I have been wanting to do this idea for a very long time. It's called Design tip #1 and the journaling reads: My Mom always taught me to decorate in groups of 3. I think I may have taken that to the extreme.

I actually used a little aluminum foil on this layout.

This layout I tried something very different for me. I mod podged tissues to the patterned paper. It's hard to tell in this picture, but it gives it a really nice texture. In these pictures, the kids are playing with a tissue that Greg gave them. They had a lot of fun making a mess.

This is for her 2nd class. We got inspiration from our cars. When I looked at my odometer in my car it said, Trip A. I thought this was pretty cool, because Ashley is Triplet A (the first one born). So I used Trip A as my title. The little odometer below the title has that she is turning 6.5 (years old).

Today is class 3 and I can't wait to find out what it is going to be about.
