Dot & Whimsy

Ahhh, to be a child of the 80's

Guess jeans, Swatch watches,OP t-shirts, penny loafers and

BIG HAIR!

My kids found this picture of me, taken when I was 18.

Now, was that some hair, or was THAT some hair?  I have riotous curly hair

and this particular day it happened to fix just perfectly :)  Julia Roberts had nothing on me hahaha!

I did this layout for my sponsored challenge over at the My Scrapbook Nook

MOVIE MADNESS CROP.

The challenge is entitled "The Red Carpet"

and the only instructions are to use shades of red on a layout or card.
I used the April Nook Kit featuring STORYTELLER by Crate Paper.
The Maya Road chip frame also came in the kit, and I spritzed it with Mister Huey's
REAL RED...perfectly matches these papers.  For the flowers I used the
I Top Punch from Imaginisce and the Trio flower punch from EK Success.

You still have plenty of time to come over and play along with us!

Tomorrow I'm up at Imaginisce for our Canvas Corp. Blog Hop.

I have some really fun stuff to share with you.

Also tomorrow is the Monday EAD Blog Hop.

Lots to do...lots to see!

Have a blessed Sunday

My daughter has been overwhelmed with poison ivy/oak

rashes for going on three weeks now.  The first week, it was around the left eye only.

It cleared up within a couple of days and we thought she was on the road to

relief.  Then this past Saturday we got up and dressed for dance recital pictures.  

I noticed that her right cheek was a little red...it had 'that' look and I suspected that 

while riding the four-wheeler Friday afternoon, that she'd gotten into the poison yet again!

By the end of Saturday evening, she was all puffy, red and itching all over her entire face.  

So, Sunday, we're at the quick care clinic where she gets the much-needed steroid injection

and some other medication.  Syd is not a big girl at all size wise and boy her little face just

puffed up!  As the week has progressed, new patches of rashes have shown up from 

head-to-toe!  She has been such a little trooper and finally, finally made it back to 

school today after missing this entire week and three days two weeks before.

Field Day for the 4th grade is tomorrow and she absolutely does not want to miss it.

She has won a BLUE ribbon in the 100 Meter Dash for the last two years.

I'm not quite sure that she'll be up to 'speed' this year given all that she's been through.

So, I've told you all of that to get to this....

I made up a cute little treat bag to give to her on Field Day...I'm hoping it will

brighten her spirits...just in case the blue ribbon isn't in her reach this year :)

This is my Totally Terrific Thursday project for I Heart {Ippity} 
I will fill this Kraft Bag with some of her favorite sweets, like the
Nutella snack packs...yummm!

I used the sentiment stamp from

and I created the sun using a 1.5" round punch and the 

26mm I TOP Punch from Imaginisce (also makes great flowers!)

Sticker letters by October Afternoon.

Hand-cut flowers from MME Stella Rose
