Its spring break for Chelsea and looks like we are going to have a busy week.  Last night we headed out to the Ryan Humbert show in Hudson.  It was awesome and I can't wait for his new CD to come out!  It was a "story tellers" show, so there was lots of talking and joking between songs.  Today we are heading out to Pennsylvania to a mall for some much needed shopping! 

And then tomorrow I...

Yesterday was our monthly stamp club meeting and I love how Michelle always comes up with the cutest ideas.  And not only are they cute, but she makes things that don't take a lot of time to put together.
The little box was a 6 X 6 piece of paper scored and cut to make the box.  Perfect for post it notes or fill it with you own treats.  The other container was from one of the new stampin up dies....

So glad to be seeing blue skies again!  This has been such a long, cold and snowy winter and I am ready for spring.  Funny in talking recently I found out that spring is my hubby's favorite time of the year.  For some reason I had always just assumed it was summer?
We are in the beginning stages of planning some camping and vacation get aways for this summer and I'm so excited.  We've already...

Last night we headed out to Dave and Buster's to do something with family celebrating Chelsea's 19th birthday and Shawn's 18th birthday.  While we ended up having a fun night when we first arrived I didn't think the evening was going to go well.  The first thing we did was put in our reservations for dinner.  The girl said it would be a 3.5-4 hour wait!  I'm like but it usually is less than that?...

Finished up some journaling on layouts from the last two crops.  That was a much needed accomplishment for me.  Especially since so often I struggle with getting the journaling done.  I can't ever do it at crops and so many times I put it off when I'm at home.  So whether its one sentence or a paragraph, I got it done! 
 
Now I can begin to play with my April Work in Progress Kit!  Yeah!

It blew by so quickly!  It began with Friday night going to dinner for Chelsea's birthday. Shinto is always a fun and entertaining way to enjoy a meal and they didn't  disappoint. We were joined by both the grandma's, Chelsea's girlfriend Daniella and Tony and Vicky. 

Saturday was spent at a crop with Trish and the girls and at a wonderful fund raiser and then Sunday we went to see Shawn...

What a difference a year makes!

Only two days until Chelsea's 19th birthday!  I've just about got all the shopping done and then Friday night we will do our family dinner.  
She's chosen the same restaurant for the past 3-4 years.  Here we are last year at Shinto

and I can't believe how much Chelsea has changed in the year!
We have had some of the coldest weather this year over the past few days so the fireplace has...

I am crazy about the gal friday paper from Cosmo Cricket that were in this months Work In Progress  project kit.  Not only did I do a mini, mini book, a post it note holder, and other layouts, but I completed a 6 X 6 clear album "It's a girl thing" about a recent trip Chelsea took with girlfriends.
I always have a blast working with the kits and love how much I can do with one kit and still have...

Last night we went to the Lake Erie Monsters game with my sister and her family.  My nephew was playing in the band there, so we all went down to hear him play and see the game.
They sure do entertain in between the happenings of the games with showing the people in the stands on the giant screens, dancing music and throwing shirts into the audience.
My brother in law had both Chelsea and...
