Last 24 Hours Being Five and a Valentine Idea

Over at Andrea's Fishbowl, she posted a home made valentine template. I thought it was a great idea, and it would keep me from buying those kitchy boxes of Dora or Diego things. And I like to support handmade. So this morning I contacted her to see if she had just the template without the writing as my valentines must be in French. Within an hour she had emailed me back and had redone the template in the French version. A big round of applause to her because she saved me so much time fiddling with the original one and this new one looks much better than what I would have ended up making. All I have to do is print them on card stock, punch a little hole in the center and get Riley to address them. Piece of cake! Thank you so much, Andrea.



And speaking of cake, here is what it looks like to be in your last 24 hours of five-years old.

Stymied

My little add-on for today. I was trying to get the little picture for CED up on my sidebar this morning - do you think I could do it?! Granted, I only had a limited amount of time to figure this out but I just could not wrap my un-techie brain around the instructions. I'll try again tomorrow since those kind of things rarely go well for me after 8:00 p.m. and tend to gobble up my last bit of sanity. Here's a shot of Riley practically pleading with me to get the camera out of his face. It's only day 24 of this project, I wonder how he will be feeling when it's day 300...


And my creative contribution to today, other than printing up some sheets for collage. It's a new addition to my catalogue of Food Art. Riley requested his breakfast to look like a birthday cake, it seems his birthday is fast approaching and it must be on his mind. It's a waffle with two different kinds of fruit leather for candles. I kind of like this one.
