Ok. I will not say I am going to post pictures of something next time. I will say I hope to :) Sorry it has been so long.
So let me explain. From left to right, top to bottom:
HS sticker sheet for our calendar. SO cute. Little stickers that say...buy fresh flowers, buy new shoes. I love those kind of reminders :)
HS stuff that came with the calendar.... sticker sheets, heart bling, mechanical pencil, ribbon to tie the calendar together when we are done with it, quote boxes - they can open up and say a quote on the inside or just say a word on the outside - I have them both ways so you can see, and a rub-on
HS calendar. Really cool. The week starts with Monday. The only reason I can figure is that she LOVES Mondays. Weird huh? I hope that rubs off on me because I usually dread them! Also, not pictured is a sheet of clear number stickers to mark the months. They didn't number the months already so that it doesn't have to be used for a specific year.
Making Memories stamp set. Scored on this. Fifty percent off at Michael's. It was only 19.99. I love the colors of paint it came with and the next two pictures show all the stamps it came with and a pretty decent picture of the paints, brushes, et cetera.
Awesome find at Joann's and used my fifty percent off coupon there. I have one I got from Sam that is good until February 14th. It is a MAMBI (me and my big ideas) set. It says on the front of the package it is valued at over $100.00! I am SO excited about this. It has such cute stuff and I bought it for Sydney. I am putting together a scrapbooking gift for her for her birthday. This is a great starter kit for her. It was only $9.99! It doesn't show but all the paper is really cute and there are probably atleast thirty papers!!
The heart I also found at Joann's half off (it was only marked forty percent but rang up fifty). Love that kind of deal. I am going to cut the wire off of it and get a black background and take some pictures of my kids holding it. It will be DARLING! Just you wait and see....
Lastly, an awesome little find my mom found for me. We have been eyeing these in PB and they are quite a bit more than the 2.49 we paid! I got two and we are going to paint them and use them in my new house. I will definitely let you know how that turns out...months down the road :)
So there you have it. Schtuff. Oh by the way, if someone finds the little hidden thing in this post, then I will send them out a little rak of two rhonna farrer stamps! happy hunting.
Also, sorry the pictures ended up so messed up. It always looks different when you are putting together a post and then when it actually comes up on your blog! Don't have the time to mess with it.
is it that i can see your reflection in the stamp kit photo?? is it? is it?

Jen, Jen, Jen, you found it. I know it wasn't hard. I just noticed myself in the reflection and wanted to do a rak so I figured why not? Congrats to you and everyone else reading because I will do another RAK for the stamps and I will be sending something else to you (she already has them).

don't send anything to me, just giveaway the stamps to whomever I choose! :) You made me guess....i didn't want to do it...
Posted by: Jen | February 06, 2007 at 07:16 PM
Ooo, that was a good one! I never would've gotten that! I've been trying to think of a good little contest and can't come up with anything. I like the idea of a hunt. :)
Cool stuff! I love the idea of the heart pictures! Those will be cute! We did something similar to that last year and it turned out really cute! I'll be looking for your pictures! :)

Bummer. I looked and couldn't find anything. My first thought was that maybe the calendar was open to August for a certain reason, like that is when baby #5 is due? Okay, so I know that's not the case, but I thought it was a good guess. Good job Jen!
What fun stuff you've gotten and such good deals. I love the "&" sign and the heart. Those will be some adorable pictures. I could go crazy over all of those letters at Craft Warehouse. I love words/signs in my house. Thanks for sharing pictures of all of your goodies with us.

Looks like very fun stuff!

Where have I been? Guess I missed out on this one. Great schtuff!

I would have never seen your reflection...Good eye Jen:)What do you think you might do with the "&" sign? I saw some at Walmart and thought they might be cute, I was thinking of doing "J&C", cheesy I know... What were you thinking of doing? I would love any ideas.

Great stuff! Love it all!

Actually if you have a Pottery Barn magazine look inside and they have it on shelves in between different things. Actually my sister Sam bought a K&S to put her in bedroom! Oh, and if you don't have a Pottery Barn magazine, get one! You can get great ideas from it!

What a good idea, I want a "J&C" for our bedroom, now that I can picture it, I really like the idea of putting in the bedroom. It's sweet! For some reason I only get the kids Pottery Barn magazine, I'll sign up for the other one.
