Kind and Wonderful Friend *SFYTT*

Sometimes I wonder where the week has gone when I realize that I haven't posted for a week!
I have been working on a few Halloween goodies for my kids to give to their teachers. I have to run and get some more ribbon for them and I haven't had a chance. My little one is home sick as I am writing this and I don't want to drag her on a road trip just to get some ribbon. The store is not in my city; it is about a half an hour away, so it will have to wait for a day when she is back in school. Today's card is for this week's Sketch For You To Try. I really liked all of the panels which gave me the opportunity to use 3 different pattern papers. I have been wanting to use up my scraps of paper that I used for my Autumn banner and I thought today's card would be the perfect opportunity. I have really been enjoying all of the circles that Jen has been using in her sketches. When I saw this sketch, I really wanted to create a wreath around a sentiment; an oldie but goodie that I like to do.

I punched the circle using a Marvy 2 1/2 inch circle punch. Next, I punched out an assortment of leaves using one of my Martha Stewart punches and a variety of cardstock. I used my 2-way glue pen to adhere them. It gave me better control as to where the adhesive would go, since only half of the leaves are adhered to the circle. The sentiments are from SU!

I added some gold micro beads to the outside and inside panels. I also tied it all together with an acorn button that I found in my stash. I thought it was the perfect finishing touch.

I had my doctor's appointment on Thursday and found out that my baby has finally turned head down. I was getting worried that a C-section was in my future, not to say that is still couldn't happen. I always keep that in my mind, so that I won't be disappointed if it works out that way. He is right on track and measures exactly to the day. Yay! I also had my glucose test, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it comes back with good news. I haven't had any issues with my other two, but you never know.

Also, my son won his football game last Saturday! Yay! The other team's coach was such a poor sport and said that we should have given their team a chance to get another touchdown and that we shouldn't have made the final touchdown of the game. He said that it was poor sportsmanship. Excuse me? Try telling a 9 or 10 year old boy that they shouldn't do their best and that they shouldn't make a touchdown after an amazing catch and a clear shot at the endzone. I was scratching my head after that one. We are headed off to another one and if we win that, then Halloween will officially be the last game of the season. It is always a bitter-sweet time. Basketball will be starting soon, so I guess I should just enjoy the break while I can. Although, Basketball practice and games seem like a walk in the park compared to football. My daughter has been practicing for her Christmas recital in Ballet. I can't wait. Well.... I will stop rambling as I do so frequently. Wish my son luck again....it paid off! LOL!
