New52 (Yes, I'm still alive!)

I know I haven't been here in a while but we've had a ton of stuff going on over the past couple months and now I'm just trying to catch up.

Here are the NINE New52's that I have missed posting. I will admit that a few are pretty lame but I've been too busy to think too hard about this. LOL!

Week 12 - Meeting Brooklyn my new grand-niece. I know I mentioned it before but here is the New52 post for it. This is me holding this mushy little bundle of joy.

 
 
 
Week 13 - Making Filler Cards for Project Life. I know I did another post on this but here it is again but with a new card. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the Fabulous and a Stampin Up stamp and punch for the butterfly
 

 
 
 
Week 14 - This one is not very exciting... nope, not at all!! But it was necessary and I did the job all by myself. I hung these towel racks from Ikea to hold my growing supply of punches. After finishing the job I realized I will need at least another two!!
 
 
 
 
Week 15 - There is no photo for this one but I got a new client for my bookkeeping business. Her name is Tawnee and she is a VERY inspiring woman. I look forward to working with her for a long time to come.


Week 16 - There is no photo for this one either. I booked our Alaska cruise! We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary next week and we needed to do SOMETHING special so we're going in September to Alaska. (That will be another New52 for me at the time!)


Week 17 - My kids had surprised me with tickets for Cirque Du Soleil's Amaluna on my birthday and we finally got to go this week!! I had never been to one before and what an incredible treat it was. Lots of fun with my kids too. Here's us just before we left.

 
 
 
Week 18 - Scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one as this week was SO busy trying to get our rental house ready for sale. But I did try a new restaurant with the kids - one of their favourites. Kinjo sushi restaurant. It was really good and very fast. Yummy!
 
 
Week 19 - Went to my regular monthly Stampin' Up card night and learned how to do double embossing. It was confusing as I don't have a Big Shot and never use embossing folders so I didn't really "get" it but I LOVED the result!
 
 
 
 
Week 20- My Mother's Day was quiet but fun. My son, Corey, and his boyfriend were over for a simple hotdog dinner. LOL! Cor brought a new game with him named Quelf and we had an absolute gas playing it. It's similar to Cranium but very, very strange. The photo below is of my game piece - Super Ninja Monkey. I know she was a girl because of her pink bow.
 
 


I have to add one more for Week 20 as it was very special. Corey gave me flowers and chocolates for Mother's Day. That really made me smile as it was a real first!
