I usually try to post a link when I have something up at the Fiskars website, but I completely missed linking this one! It's a Mother's Day card for an expecting mother.
I used Prism Simply Smooth cardstock and Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers, and Heidi Grace clear stamps. The instructions and other photos are at the Fiskars website, along with another project for each day of May!
Jolie's birthday has been very fun! The girls got new pointe shoes today and both of them have two differently sized feet - not a big deal with flip-flops or even tennis shoes (Converse is about all they wear these days...), but with pointe shoes, having one foot bigger than the other is a problem! I had to buy an extra pair of bigger toe pads ($25.50) for Jolie to even out her shoes and then when Darby had the same problem, we used the other extra toe pad for her. And extra pair of toe pads is much cheaper than having to buy two pairs of pointe shoes (at $70.00 a pair) for each girl just to have the correct fit for each foot... So I guess between the two girls, they have FOUR different shoe sizes!
Then we went to the Cheesecake Factory. Um, YUM.
I didn't take any pictures of the day's fun because I left my gigantic "professional-size" memory card at home. (And then I almost left my camera at the Cheesecake Factory! I guess that would have been a decent excuse to make another trip to The Woodlands for more cheesecake!)
Birthday presents and a treasure hunt (planned by Darby and the boys for Jolie) tonight, followed by popcorn and Paul Blartt, Mall Cop. (I probably spelled that wrong...)
Have a lovely evening!

Don't worry about the pointe shoes...sometimes the dancer's feet even out. My oldest went through a stage where we bought two pair at a time. Fortunately, our local dance supply store has a punch card program; buy six pair get one free. Helps a bunch with two daughters dancing. Just wait until yours head off for a summer program and need to take five or six pair with them!!

I love reading your blog, but just now noticed you live in Texas! I live in Austin now, but when I was young (and a dancer) I danced in Houston often. Where do your girls go? I hear ya about the pointe shoes - they're so darned expensive, and they wear out so quickly! Your girls are lucky they can wear pads... I never felt comfortable with them so I never wore them. Just my toes and the box. :)
God bless,
Tammy
