My Girly Princess Crown and Some Pics!

Good morning to you! And HAPPY WEEKEND! I told you about a week ago that I had created a girly version of THIS crown. It uses the Cutting Cafe's Crown Template. I used October Afternoon and Papertrey Ink paper. The sentiment is part of the Crown Template set. I cut it out using my circle Spellbinders's die. The tag is also from Spellbinders. I used a little bit of glitter here....... : )

I love how it opens at the top.....it doesn't give you tons of room inside to write, but enough for a young girl who is just turning 8!
Here are a few pics from our Michigan trip last weekend! This first pic is of Kyle skiing. He is a regular pro now! I love watching him zip around the lake!
...............and this is what your hair will look like after zipping around the lake! LOL!

This is my girl and I tubing. If only you knew how hard it is for this girl to keep her head up....her body upright and erect.......this picture would make her physical therapist proud!

And I love this picture of Kyle with his two younger cousins fishing. So sweet.


I am off to see Kyle play a "Card" in the play, "Alice in Wonderland" this afternoon. Tonight Brian and I are going to the White Sox game! It will be so fun to have a "date" with my hubby and root the Sox on!
Have a FABULOUS weekend!!!

    Got to figure out how to make it larger!
