The McGrew Swimmers

As promised, I am posting photos of my 3 swimmers. This is the first year all 3 kids are on the team. We are keeping busy and having a blast! It is Tucker's 3rd year on the team and the Molly and Payton's first year. It is such a fun team. Coach Tori is great with the kids-she really focuses on individual improvement, trying your personal best and having fun. Not many sports organizations are like that these days. As I get older I see how competitive everything is. And that is fine...for those who want to be but for those just out to have fun and get exercise and learn the sport-the Whitehall Wahoo Swim Team is the place to be!

I have a cute story I want to share. At the first meet of the season Payton was swimming 25 meter freestyle. This was her first swim race ever. She gave it her all. She did come in last for her heat but she didn't know that. When she hit the wall she shouted loud enough (with a huge smile on her face) for the entire pool area to hear, "Did I win? Did I win?" If was so cute and all the timers congratulated her on the great job she did. Children...you just have to love their innocence!

AWESOME GOODIE BOX OF THE DAY!

It's "Goodie Box" Time again!
Today's "Deal-A-Day" is a goodie box valued at $50 and you it will only cost you $25!!!!!
This special is available until 7:00 tomorrow morning!

ANIMAL COOKIES!

Hello!

Boy! Whoever said summer time was a time for relaxation must not have three children on the neighborhood swim team! All three of my children are on the team this summer and we are having a blast! I somehow became the team assistant, as well, so we are living at the pool! It is, however, alot of fun (but keeps us busy)! I 'll share some swim team photos soon!

We did have some storms last week which caused for the cancelation of some swim meets. This gave me time to get creative and play with more new products from the Summer Idea book!

Here are the layouts that my Scrapbook Club will create in July. What fun I had digging out these photos from "way back when" and placing them on these new layouts! I used the new Animal Cookies Scrapbook Kit and Stickease for these layouts, along with the new foam numbers, summer craft buttons, white daisy rick rack ribbon and the "Sweet Baby" stamp set. I love this stamp set-it can be used for so many different themes. In fact, I have yet to use it on a baby card or baby layout! All these items can be purchased directly from my website (amy.myctmh.com)!

July starts a new session of both my Kit if the Month Card club and Scrapbook Club. Anyone can join-we have gals who paricipate via mail and gals who are local. If you would like to learn more about the benefits of joing this club(s) please feel free to contact me (you can also visit my website and click on "calendar"). You will recieve $50 in goodies just for joining, not to mention all the new techniques and tips you will learn and most of all...all the SCRAPBOOKING and/or CARD MAKING you will accomplish! I hope you will join today!

We Made It!

Today was the last day of school for my three children. I am so excited to officially be on summer vacation, however, it was bittersweet when the kids (and me, too!) said good-bye to their teachers.

I was busy all last weekend and last night making teacher gifts. You will see here one of our memory boxes that I embellished with B&T Duo papers, chipboard letters (I love these!) and craft buttons. Inside you will see that I have placed dividers and then I created 10 each of 4 different design notecards, all using the teacher's initials. I used the new Animal Cookies Paper Pack, as well as, the Creative Basics Animal Cookies papers. I had such fun with this project-I just might have to make it into a workshop!

Chocolate Anyone?

Happy Saturday!

The DEAL-A-DAY for today is a FREE Chocolate Designer Ribbon Rounds! Those who know me well know I love the pink and brown color combination. The CTMH Chocolate Ribbon Rounds are my most favorite of all the designer ribbon rounds CTMH offers. You can use ribbon on cards, layouts and paper crafts. I used a variety of different ribbon rounds to embellish these flip flops. These "funky flops" make wonderful gifts for just about any female you know! All I did was tie strips of ribbons in knots around the thong part of the flip flops. I am actually in the process of making a pair for several of my children's teachers as end of the year gifts.

Try embellishing your flip flops today! It's fun and easy!

You can get your FREE Chocolate Ribbon Rounds by placing an order on my website (amy.myctmh.com) today! Remember, this special is only good for today, JUNE 6th.

Smiles,

OH TUCKER!

Tucker James, my oldest child is about to graduate from elemenatary school. Wow! time certainly does fly by,eh?! This is a layout I created on the first day of school back in August. It showcases a photo taken on the first day of school each year 1st-5th grade. I love this overview of the past 5 years! I created the layout using the Imagine "How To" book. I love the "How To" books that Jeanette, founder and CEO of Close To My Heart, has written for us. I like to call them my "How To Bibles!" These books really make preserving our memories and card making Faster.Simpler. Easier! And I Love how each project looks so different just by changing the papers, stamps and accessories! You can order any or all of the "How To " books right from my website (amy.myctmh.com)!

As I said, Tucker will be graduating from elementary school on Tuesday, June 9th. I am so proud of the young man Tucker is growing up to be. Yes, he is a typical boy, forgetting to clean his room, use soap in the shower, and he likes to wipe his mouth on his clothes but he does have a beautiful heart and a great outlook on life. Just the other day we were on our way to the bus stop. Somehow we got into a conversation about why individuals hold grudges against others. Tucker shared with his sisters and I that he just can not understand why people do that. He said that he knows sometimes people are mean but he just lets it roll off his shoulders and then when they want to play he plays with them. He said he has a hard time staying mad at others. "Good for you, Tucker!" I expressed! Tucker is the perfect examlple of how everyone should be! He lives the way God wants us to live-loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.

Tucker recently played the part of Charlie Brown in his 5th grade class play "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown." Here is a photo of him performing. I am looking forward to creating a layout with the photos I took at his performance! Congrats on a great performance, Tucker! Congrats on a super elementary school career! I love you, Big Guy!
