NEW52 - Week 21, scissors

This week, I've had a sudden urge of craftiness.  This is not just being crafty with digi supplies but with real paper etc.  So, this week I decided to try a NEW craft project, spiffy scissors.  I plan on giving them away as a gift to the gals who run the front office at the school I work at.  You can see the step by step photos and instructions on Skip To My Lou blog.  I found these really nice and sharp (just ask my fingers) scissors at Fisher's Office Supply and paper at the Scrapbook Clubhouse.  I also made a coordinating pen.  I saw a tutorial at Ben Franklin and I thought, hey easy, cheap, and fast.  My kind of project.  Here is what it looks like all wrapped up.


Last week, Bostyn had her swimming graduation at Leahi Swim.  Bostyn has been taking lessons with instructor, Uncle Billy, since she was 6 months old.  She just loves him.  It is great seeing all the progress she has made in just a few months.  One of her favorite things to do is jump in the pool and diving to pick up rings from the bottom.  We will continue with lessons in the summer.  Here are just a few photos.


I ordered these cute Star Wars shirts for Bostyn and my nephews.  We finally got them all dressed up and wearing them together.  If you want them, go to Mi Cielo online store or her esty shop.  Thanks to my friend, Leigh, creative genius of Hapa|Hale, who blogs about all things Hawaii, with a modern twist.

Here are some NEW layouts for the week.

A layout for Easter.  I wanted to embellish more with flowers, ribbons, and bows, but then took it all off.  I didn't want it to look too girly for my nephews.

This layout is for DHD digi-morph challenge, go team blue.

This layout is a photo of me and some of my students taken in 2004 (in kindergarten) and now 2011 (as 6th graders).  This group of girls were my angels that year.  I had a wild bunch of boys and these girls really shined and helped me though the year.  This page is now being printed at Costco and I plan on giving it to them tomorrow for their last day of school at Waimalu.
