καρναβάλι...

Or carnival as you might know it! Today we had our καρναβάλι (carnival) parade in one of the bigger villages near us called Kounoupidiana and it was a sight to see! It was a whole lot of fun with music, costumes and tons and tons of confetti! Here are some pics to give you a little taste of what we experienced today!
And this was one of my kids favorites...the giant babies! They were harry babies too!
By far the BEST float, I don't know what it was for, but pretty cool!
Bella loves her some confetti!


And who is going to clean up this mess!!!!


Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed a bit of my day!


Come back soon, tomorrow is Kite day! As long as it's not raining karekles (chairs!)

Athens, Greece

Hey there,

I have been a little MIA...but with a good excuse! We went to Athens for a little get away! It was absolutely AMAZING! the kids has a great time too...they love going to museums! Here is my favorite quote from my 4yo. daughter! We were walking around the new Acropolis Museum (where they don't allow pics, BOO!) and she is looking at all the amazing 4000 yo. statues and she says, "They are all naked...that is SOOOO not allowed!" hahaha that girl cracks me up! Here are a couple pics for ya! Hope you are having a great day!
The family in front of the Parthenon...got a really nice guy from Brazil to take the pic for us!
Here is a picture of the Parthenon, it is located at the Acropolis...and is Greece's most famous temple...But, did you know that people lived at the Acropolis as early as 5000 B.C.!!!
I really neat door, I love the colors and the neat design!

This is Hadrian's Arch, built by the Roman emperor himself. The inscription facing the Acropolis reads, "This is Athens, the ancient city of Theseus." and the other side reads, "This is the city of Hadrian, not of Theseus." hmmm I think someone was self indulgent.

Anywho, these are just a few of the many pics I took...I didn't get to do down to the Monastiriki like I wanted (due to rain and little children needing naps, ohh yes and a strike that blocked the road!) But I am going back at the end of October for my 10K run...so there are more pics to be seen!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXOXO

Pumpkin Carving...

Hello all! We did some pumpkin carving earlier this week. The kids loved it and so did I...I never got to do this as a kids and I am lovin it as an adult! This first one is mine...tried the scrapping thing into the sides and I think the swirls look pretty neat! I love this time of year...be it called Fall, Autumn, harvest festicals or halloween...I think it fun...although not the scary parts, just the cute stuff. The smells of the season and the cool crisp air...although cool and crisp is where I would like for it to stay...I don't like cold! Anywho, I digress...this is my pretty pumpkin!


And these are two of my 3 sweet children...the other one did NOT want to cooperate in the photo taking and Bella has some sort of silly face going on...I think she looks cute though and I love her, dirty and all! Isn't their pumpkin cute too? They each took turns helping Daddy with the carving...he's much braver than I am, that's for sure!




Whatever you decided to do today...I hope you enjoyed it! Have a blessed day!
Hugs andhappy Stampin'

A journey through the Island of Crete!

So my awesome hubby came home from work this morning and asked if we wanted to go to the mountains...of course I jumped at the chance...they snow is almost melted up there and the kids have been begging to go to the snow! So here are a few pictures to share with you of our AWESOME day!
All of us at the Samaria Gorge on the Island of Crete...Who would of thought such amazing mountains could be mixed in with gorgeous beaches!
After we left the Gorge we took a different route than on the way up and these windmills is what we found on the way...Crete is in the 21st century! LOL I love seeing these here...I think they are awesome looking and a great way to gather energy here on the Island.
And this is where the road led us! This beach is called Soygia (Sue-giah) beach and it had the blackest sand I have ever seen on a beach and the most amazing rocks in the word...the kids and I collected a few..okay maybe a dozen or so rocks...they are really neat!
I just love this shot of Andrew, David and Emelia watching the tide roll in...isn't it a gorgeous site! The awesome dark sand and the amazement of the kids looking at an infinity of ocean...My heart just melts thinking of the awe and wonder they are experiencing...who am I kidding I was feeling the very same feelings myself!
What a cool little town carved right into the mountain side! I love how picturest this little town of Kambano is and I thought you would all like to see it too!
Thanks for stopping by and letting me share a little of God's beauty from the Medeterrainian Sea...I hope you'll be back soon as we have only experienced a little bit og the Island and there is much more to explore!
I will share a card with you tomorrow!
Happy Stampin'

(there';s still time to enter to win a FREE prize...so don't forget to check it out! I also used one of their stamps sets called Count your Blessings which was released last month!

For this card I choose to use Riding hodd red and summer sun designer paper...love these colors together and the little sheep just looks too cute!


Sorry about the circle..it was hand cut and I apperently am not too good at cutting circles freehand!


I stamped the little scrolly crosses and and the sentiment in basic brown and water colored and then blender penned the little sheep...I'm soooo glad I saved those water color pencils from high school! They have definately come in handy!



Supplies:


Stamps: Digi image from Little Paper shop and Easter Blessing stamp set from Little Paper Shop

So we finally make it to the base and we go to the Easter egg hunt...Bella's fisrt...isn't she just too cute!


She didn't care too much for the Easter Bunny though! LOL



David Enjoyed her though...especially her basket of CANDY!!!!!

And So did Emelia!

I met Shelli!!!!

I know pretty exciting huh? She's my new BFF you know and when I move to Greece she's going to come and visit me and we'll be stamping into the wee hours of the night! LOL hahah that would be cool though!
Okay, so maybe I should of done my hair Saturday morning, but in my defense did get up at 4 in the morning and drove 3 hours to get to the Va. Beach regionals...and who knew Shelli would be there? Now for those of you wondering who Shelli is and why in the world I think this is such a big deal! Well she is the one and only founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! She started Stampin' Up! 20 years ago this year with her sister...and the company is still going strong!
This Saturday was the Va Beach Regional Seminar in Va beach and we got to enjoy hours and hours of stamping, presentations, inspiration and a yummy boxes lunch! I'll have to share more photos from the even later, but I wanted to share with you my excitement of the day!
I'll be back later with some Christmas projects I've been working on. I hope you have a FAB day and I will chat with you soon!
Happy Stampin'
Have a blessed day!

Pacific Point and Glitter...

...Never looked so good!
Yes, that's my littlest baby...Isabella and she thinks those little bottles of reinkers are just too fun to hold...who knew whe could get them open! Not only did she get it open...she tried to drink it...I hope classic re-inkers aren't toxic! She also decided that she needed more sparkle in her life...so she dumped a little jar of Dazzling diamonds on herself! Agin...who knew she could open that tiny little jar! Can you see the glitter on her face and jammies?
I think this could be classified as a new techniwue...don't you?
No stamping for me yet today..I went to SU! Regionals yesterday and I have some fun photos to share with you all...but that will have to wait until tonight!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stampin'

Paper Napkin Trasnfer

Play so I had never done this technique before, I have always wanted to try it but have never gotten around to it! So todays Technique Lovers Challenge 192 on SCS was to create a card using the napkin transfer technique, so I thought Hey what a perfect oppertunity to try it out!

I was looking through the cabinets and would you believe that the only paper napkins I have are these Lightning Macqueen napkins! So a kids card it is! I have a newphew with a birthday next month so this is perfect!

On the technique lovers challenge thread is calls for parchments paper...but alas I am not a fancy cook and didn't have any of that in my drawer, but I had heard of doing this technique using saran or plastic wrap so that's what I did!
Here is the "Sandwich" that you need to make this card
-copy paper
-cardstock
-saran wrap
-napkin pretty side face up
-copy paper
-iron
***Be sure to separate your napkin if it's a 2 ply so that you are only using one layer on your card...won't stick too well if you have more than one layer!***
I also made this card to play in Sharons (notimetostamp) challenge on her blog here...her challenge was to make a flat card...no raised embelishments...I think I accomplished the task, but boy did I want to add eyelets or brads somewhere!
Supplies:
Stamps:Beauty of Nature by Little Paper Shop
Ink:Stazon black
Paper:real red, pacific point, whisper white
Accessories: copy paper, circle punches, key tag punch, napkin, saran wrap, iron, corner punch
***All Supplies from Stampin' Up Unless otherwise stated***
And Now for some personal pics!
We had such a wonderful and busy weekend, but I wanted to share some pics from a costume party we went to. My friend Nikki (NCSUNikki on SCS) has thrown a very nice and so much fun Halloween party for the past few years and we always have the privelidge to be invited. Our kids just love it. They have all sorts of games with prizes for the kids and a rockin swing set! So here are some pics from the party.
David Went as Batman, he looks on seriously as he waits his turn at the octopus toss game...for every ring they toss on the octopus they get prizes from the goody basket! Serious stuff!
Emelia was a Princess, her crown is hidden by her flying hair, she loved her costume so much that she wanted to sleep in it! LOL No I didn't let her, but I did let her wear it to the evening service at church though! LOL

And here is a twofer, a picture of Bella as a Baby Jaguar and Andrew...not sure what he went as, but at least he had a costume! (I love you baby!!!, and your awesome costume!!!LOL)
Doesn't Bella look too cute with her little wiskers? I didn't even try to put a headband with little ears on her because I knew they wouldn't last more than 2 seconds! I was glad she let me color her nose and add wiskers!
That's all I have for you today!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stampin'
May God Bless you Today and Always,

Pink Chocoate & some football!

"Oh send Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill and Your tabernacle." Psalm43:3

I sat down with the kids today and rush of emotion just flooded me. My eyes flooded and the dam broke and all the water just came gushing out as if there was nothing to hold it back! Mind you these were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. Watching my children made me realize that the truth is in them, the truth is the small child that has not been hurt by a friend, truth is in a child that has not had a promise broken, truth is in a child that has not felt the anger and bitterness of another human.

Truth is nowing Jesus as your personal savior. Truth is living for Him, loving the little children he has given my husband and I to raise and having faith that he will help us guide them to His truth. Truth is in the little eyes, how they look at me when I loose my temper. To me the Lord has sent me His light and His truth...he has given me my chilsren. I am alwas trying to better myself for them and in turn am bettering myself for God as well. God sent me these little angels to help me be ready for Him. I have become a better person because of my children and I am working on my faults because I don't want my children to pick them up or be hurt by them. I love these little gee wiz moments in my life when I realize that God molds us in every aspect of our lives and how He is the only way to the tabernacle!


Here is my challenge card for yesterday...my computer was acting up and wouldn't let me post...I got a bit frustrated and went to bed! LOL
So yesterdays challenge on SCS was Emily's color challenge. I Love this color combo, but choose a very simple simple design as the kids were occupied for a minute and I could get a VERY QUICK card in.
The colors were Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip and Pink Pirouette...great colors huh! I used my Upsy Daisy stamp set and same ink and some pretty ribbon and the card is now on it's way to a lucky recipient!
Supplies:
Stamps: Upsy Daisy, Best yet (earn this set FREE...ask me how!)
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate chip, shimmery white
Accessories: Sponge, 1 1/4 Pink Pirouette Grosgrain ribbon
The Skins Game!!!
My sister and I got to go to the game on Sunday and what a game it was...her father-in-law gets her club level tickets and
with those come great parking! We were just a few rows from the stadium!!!

This is a shot of the field after a touchdown. All the Rdskins Cheerleaders go on the field and do their thing and some HUGE flags get waived...it's soooooo awesome to be there and hear all those people cheering and carrying on. The game day smells the chill in the air the crazy fans...it's just awesome! I love love love going...unfortunately I don't get a chance to go too often...the last time I got to go was almost 10 yars ago, just a couple weeks away from being 10 years...man how time flies!

While we two crazy guys jumped the wall and ran accross the field...they got tackled and taken away in handcuffs...crazy guys! But hey at least I have a story to tell! It was soooo funny them trying to get away from the guards...the guy on the field finally got tackled by one of the sis players! I guess he'll always have a story to tell too! LOL

And this is my sister and I...she's wearing the burgandy hat and I have the tan hat...isn't she just gorgeous! Thank you so much sister for all the fun memories that we created! I had a blast and am so glad it was just you and me! Who knew two chicks could have such a great time at a football game!

Thanks for stopping by!

I've Been MIA

So I've been missing for a little while...so sorry about that! It wasn't my intentions to be gone for so long! I went to my parents on Saturday and then was planning on coming back Sunday after church to be able to get a little stamping done in the evening...Andrew went to VA beach for the week...classes. Anywho, I was at my moms waiting for her to get home so we could all have lunch together and my sister called me and asked if I wanted to go to the Washington Redskins game...what kind of a person turns down Club level seats!!!! So off we went to the game and then when I got home I was too tired to drive home. And then yesterday was spent with my sis-in-law and her kids...we had a great time! But I will have a card later today and pics from the game...we had so much fun and the Skins even won! YAHOOOOO!!!!!

So thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin'

Mad Flannel card

So todays Technique Challenge WT188 on SCS was mad for plaid to make a card using plaid...I had to think for a bit and then I remembered that I had the flannel plaid background stamp...more mute than what I think of when I think of plaid, but I think it worked out well for this card! I love the simplicity of the colors and how quick it came togeher...I don't usually get to stamp in the day, but the baby was sleeping and the big kids were watching a movie and this card only took like 10 minutes max! I love how they come so fast some times!

So this is my card! I used craft cardstock and chocolate chip ink for the flannel plaid BG and for the pine leaves. I then got some creamy carmel carstock and stamped the pine comes with chocolate chip craft ink and covered them in cleart embossing powder, heat set and then cut them out. I did the same for the sentiment with real red craft ink...although I didn't cut it out...went to my machine instead and did some stitching! I then inked up the edges with craft ink and crumpled the card a bit in places, added a ribbon, some eyelets and called it a day! I do wish I had some different color eyelets...some that weren't so barsh looking, but more subtle...ohh well such is live!

Supplies:

Stamps: Flannel Plaid Background, Peaceful Wishes

Ink: Craft chocolate chip, chocolate chip, craft real red

Paper: craft, creamy carmel

Accessories: ribbon, Embossing powder, eyelets, crop-a-dial, heat tool, paper snips

We attempted to go to the pumpkin patch yesterday, but when we got there they were closed...we were all very sad...the kids were in tears, so we knew we had to find some pumpkins to cheer them up! We went to our local nursery and bought some from there and came home a carved them.

I had NEVER carved a pumpkin before so this was just as exciting for me as it was fr the kids! We had such an awesome time getting all the pumpkin guts out and the carving it. I didn't realize this was so hard! Once we got them all prettied up we waited until dusk and then lit them...they kids were so excited about the pumpkins!

David is all smiles with his pumpkin! He wanted his carved just like a shirt he had...an orange shirt with a black face...so Andrew drew it on the pumpkin and they carvedit out together. Doesn't he look so pleased!

Emelia and I decided to make a ghost pumpkin and I think for my fisrt one it turned out pretty well! Although little miss priss wouldn't touch the insides...she did attempt to cut it!

Thanks for stopping by! We are hoping to go to the pumpkin patch tomorrow...so we'll see!

Happy Stampin'

God Bless you,

Technique, Color and Mud

So I'll start by sharing a bible verse with you today!

"Let love be without hypocrisy, Abhor what is evil, Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;" Romans 12:9-10

I just had to share this verse with you today because I've been thinking about how we share God's love with one another lately. Let's see where do I start? I guess I've been thinking about this when one of my BFF's told me that her neighbor came to her house and told her that her and her family moving into the neighborhood was one of the worst things that could have possibly happened to this particular neighborhood...can you imagine having one of your neighbors come to your house and tell you this!!! I was shocked that anyone would have the audacity to step on your property and tell you such horrible things! (Don't worry Dana I think they are just jealous of you and your 5K kids!) How can someone treat another human being with such carelessness? It's just wrong...no matter who you are!

The other thing I've been thinking about is the way we treat our own family, especially the little ones. I sometimes wonder if I'm disciplining the kids properly, I know I'm their parent and I need to teach them to behave, but I sometimes wonder if I am too easily frustrated or angered. Am I treating them as I would treat say a friend or co-worker? In essence they are my co-workers...since I'm a stay at home mom! I think it's my responsibility to teach them how to treat others the way Jesus would want us to treat them and I need to start with me. I need to examine myself a bit more and see how I react in different situations and see if there is room for improvement (there's always room for improvement!) Anyways that's anough of my blubbering, just thought I would share with you the Bible verse that I have been pondering lately!

Now for my card!
So this is my card! It covers two challenges on Splitcoaststampers...yesterdays Technique lovers challenge 190 Stair Step Card and todays Color Chalenge 188 to use Pink Pirouette, basic Black and whisper white. I also took the oppertunity to make a card for my dear friend Danielle (hey Girl!) that had a birthday yesterday! Shame on me for not mailing her a birthday card! So I made her this one...I hope she likes it!

Here is a close up... can you see all that glitter? I love how sparkly it is! I don't know that the images coordinate the best, but I think it's cute! I like that they are both wearinf similar hats and they are color coordinated! LOL
Supplies
Stamps: Older and Widser (retired SU!), Living Large (retired SU!)
Paper: Basic Black, shimmery white, retired designer paper
Ink: Stazon black, pink pirouette
Accessories: Aqua painter, re-inker, 1/16th hole punch, glitter, marvy scallop punch, ribbon, rectangle hole punch, scor-pal
And now...Let's get muddy!!!
Okay maybe not is...just my kids! So today was about 85 degrees and Davis has been begging me to make mud...so I decided that today was the day and boy oh boy did they make some mud! But Look how happy they are! I would let them do it all over again!!!

And Look at Mela all covered in Orange clay mud...isn't this the cutest picture? I just love the look on her fac and they way she was walking! She kept getting stuck to the gravel because she had so much mud on her shoes!

Ohh my sweet little Bella, no she didn't get muddy! I knew she would end up with mud in her mouth in a matter of seconds and I just wasn't prepared to handle that just yet! So we went down the slide many many many times over while the big kids got muddy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin'

May God Bless you today!

Fun Family Weekend!!!

So this weekend we went on our Annual family hike...and what fun we had! We didn;t go last year I think because it eas too cold for the baby, but this year the baby is almost 17 months and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! We had sooo much fun and Mela walked/climbed the whole way up...just a mile and a half, but there were some big rocks to get over and bumpy terraine...no to mention big bolder with water between them...the end result was definately worth it though! Here are some pics!

Here is Andrew, Bella (in Snuggly, she did have fun, was ust getting used to the snuggly!) And Mela Walking...she was such a trooper. Walked the whole way...had to convince her to drop that walking stick as she kept tripping on it!


Here is Mela and her Papa having a snack...triscuits...yum while enjoying the sounds and views of the waterfall...we sat on some huge rocks right at the base...there were more falls bellow us too, just little ones though

David stricking a pose...gotta love the 4.5 year old poses! He's such a character and a joy to be around. What a blessing God has given us!

And here is our view during lunch...or should I say snack! The speck at the top is my nephew Tyler...he said it was dizzying up there...wish I could of gone, but by this time it was WAY past Bella's nap time and she was nto happy anymore! So back in the snuggly for the trip down and thank goodness she fell asleep!

And this picture was taken at the apple Harvest Festival at Graves Mountain Lodge... I was so busy smelling the funnel cake and apple doughnuts that I totally forgot to pull out the camera until the kids were totally wet! The water was chilly, but I guess they didn't mind! It was a gorgeous day! Aren't they cute!!!

And here is our little poser girl! Whenever she sees the camera she says "Mom, take a piture of me!" and poses and smiles! I think we are in big trouble!

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share some pictures of our glorious weenend! I have a card for you tomorrow! We are also going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow so more family fun pics to come!

Have a wonderful day!

God Bless you!
