FIVE & DitL

our youngest turned 5 yesterday!!!! and we had a birthday party for her at the Aurora Kids Gymnastics with a few of her friends and family (grandparents are in town for the week too!).  she had a blast and so did the adults...wink!

favor bags for her friends

here's a few close ups of those favor bags...

i used some project life cards from the jade core kit, stamped {THANK YOU} and the heart and had Selene write her own name on them, punched holes and attached them to the paper lunch bags with twine. for the paper bags, i cut off about 2 inches from the top and used a fiskars border punch.  one boy and five girls. simple and cute. they loved their goodies.

here's a sneak peak of my Day in the Life album for 3.29.16...

i have finished it and so love how it turned it out.  i love doing this project and plan on doing it again throughout the year.  i had gotten the mini-kit and used all the journaling cards and only have a few left of the cute circle chipboards left.  i am not sure i'll be getting future ones since i do have the story kits to use plus stuff from my stash.  but i will be participating for sure.  once i take photos of this album i'll share....

not sure what we plan on doing today.  i have today and the next 2 days off.  my parents are in town from WA until this coming friday.  so happy they are here. and oh my these next couple of months before we move to OH are gonna be busy ones with jesse's cousin coming in next month and my sis and her family coming in june.  FULL HOUSE the next couple of months!  love it!

my goals this month is to study my butt off for my ACE Personal Trainer Certification exam which is in early may.  then the next couple of months: get some project life layouts done, maiya's album done (not sure i'll have it done before she leaves), prep for 4 Zumba master classes (2 of them with instructors and the last 2 of just me, myself and i) and get ready for our move.   BUSY BiZY!!!!

so looking forward to all the biZyness... xoxo.
