Last Day of GIU

Let's see if I can get through a WHOLE post without my computer shutting down on me! It has taken me three tries this morning to edit my pictures!

I am sorry this isn't up at the crack of dawn like normal, but YESTERDAY was my BIRTHDAY!!! so I didn't get my post scheduled last night!

I had such a FaBuLoUs day! The best birthday I can remember since I was a kid and birthdays were such a big deal.

I was able to get a sitter so I could get my nails refilled and a pedicure (hadn't had one since a month before Colton was born...he is almost 10 months!). FELT AMAZING! 

Chris gave me a gift certificate to the local SPA to go get the DIVA package!  It includes a manicure, pedicure, luxury facial, 60 minute massage, and not sure what else since I have to call them! HOW SWEET IS THAT?

Then, Chris grilled steaks. I love steak, but haven't mastered using the grill so don't usually cook them myself cause nothing depresses me more than ruining a perfectly good piece of meat! They were PERFECT! 

I did help a little with dinner... I made scalloped potatoes, jalapeno poppers (got a really hot one and thought my mouth would never stop burning!) and Cheese Cake!

Then we jumped in bed and watched Rookie Blue. Perfect ending to a Perfect Day!

Thank You everyone who left me birthday wishes! You all are awesome!

Enough of that... you are here to see what I made, not to read me ramble on and on about my day!

I have LOTS to show today!

First up, I borrowed my friend Rhonda's KOM (she is so awesome to let me borrow her stamps!). I also used an Itty Bitty and a Bella Blvd set.

 small things Matter Most { April 2011 KOM}

Dream Big {Webster's Itty Bitty}

Sweet Celebration Birthday

I love that I can change the colors of this card and have a birthday card for anyone!

Distress Ink: Broken China

Distress Ink: Worn Lipstick 

I changed this one up a little bit and used a different Itty Bitty

Love Runs Deep

NEXT are what I love to make... Altered Jars.  AND since I am dealing with a 9.5 month old baby, I have LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of Gerber Baby Food Jars!

The first ones are the 2.5 ounce jars. These are the ones the NASTY meats come in. Oh they smell bad, but Colton just <3's them. They are his FAVORITE....ewww!

I used colored pencils to color in the flowers.

Stamps:

Bevy of Butterflies

Perfect in Every Way {KOM June 2009}

You might notice that the sentiment isn't quite right from the picture on the stamp set... I CUT IT!  I wanted treat to fit under the "you're such a" so it would fit on the 1.5" circle... I like it better this way, even though I am now scared I might loose part of the sentiment in all my "organized" crafting!

 

 This jar is the 4 ounce size. I filled it with some spice tea... I love all that krafty goodness.

Better Together {KOM July 2011}

 And my last jar. A frappachino jar.

You might all remember back in the day, for last Christmas, I made a bunch of these jars and filled with Epsom salts for my girls at church...(post is HERE).

Well, this year I thought I would make some frap jars that are a little less festive!

Stamp:

Stars of Worn

This concludes my week of Growing In Unity...

BUT, today is the day for the customers to show off their skills using Unity, so make sure to go back to the Unity Blog Friends with Flair post and see all that they have created!

I will be back on Sunday to let you know who gets the randomly picked commentor is to win a FABULOUS Unity Kit...

As well as, I am going to pick someone to get a IPPITY kit that is still in my possession from back when I was a chick, AND maybe a few other little tidbits... like a wilted flower (seen on my red, white, blue card on from Wednesday)!...

THANKS FOR VISITING and all the WONDERFUL comments!
