ATC's for a swap

My daughters were using my table again!! but I decided to watch them and enjoy since I knew I can work at night, lol. So they created a lot, they did a bag for each other, one for me and they asked my DH to go with them to buy chocolates for my bag, then they did a puppet and some other stuff. They want to be like mommy!!

Well when they went to sleep I came and work in some ATC's for a swap in Paper Wings, here is the sample and what I did yesterday (mass production) now I just have to glue them and I am done! Thanks for looking!

Recipe: Deco Designs, It's the little things, Catelynne paper, Brown cardstock, Green #3, Circle punch, Scallops scissors, Palette Cote D'Azure, Cloud White Versamagic inks, ribbon (all from TAC except the ribbon).

Diana

Oh YEAHH, I did work

Yihaaaaa!! I can't beleive it, I forgot that I have a lil time when they go to bed! so I did this for them! I just love them and today I was just enjoying a lot seeing them here in my workshop, they are just like me in that sense, they want to be like me! I am so important for them that I couldn't resist to do a lil thing for them, I can't wait to see their faces tomorrow when they get their lil clipboards!

Love,
Diana

I couldn't work, there was someone on my table...

Yes!! Today, DH asked to do some stuff outside (Bank, Office Max, Sam's, etc) so I was almost until 3 pm outside!! and when I arrived my lil DD was playing at my desk (she was at pbskids.org) and my oldest DD was on my table doing some projects! so I have an invation!! lol. Here is one of the bags my DD did this one was for her father! and of course when she saw me taking a picture, she asked me, mom are you planning to upload that picture to your blog? and I say of course I am, and she said but you have to give me the credit okay! I cann't believe that my DD was saying that I said "can you tell me just one time I take credit for anyone's stuff?" and she said, I can't just to make sure!! (Everytime she helps me with something crafty she say, you have to give me credit for this!) When she started with her cardmaking designs I said that she is going to be the next Elsie Flanigan, her style is just like Elsie and I don't have Elsie's book, but I think I am going to buy it for her, she is just very talented, even do she is only 8! but started at 6. She is ansioxly waiting to be an 18 year old to sign as a TAC angel! lol

So it was a lil group but LOTS of fun, I was so impressed that my niece Jeliana (who is 11) works great! and she was very interested in the scrapbooking and paper crafts!! (she is just like me, lol) and my stepdaughter enjoy it a lot (she is almost 20) and even do I tried so bad to get her hooked with this I haven't so much luck with that! My lil daughter started working until my lil niece arrived, then they just want to play (they are 5) so I got to work with my oldest daughter (and she loves it!), my niece Jeliana and my stepdaughter Gabriela. My mother was here and she asked me why I didn't have a kit for her!! OHHHHHHHHHH, can you beleive it!! Well I finished giving her my album, so I need to do another one, or two or three because now my DH wants one for him, so he can display the pictures he took, one for my sister (I forgot to send an invitation just for her!! please don't kill me, I feel really miserable!) and one for me, because I have pictures too! lol.
