What a week it's been, friends. So many fun prizes, challenges and products over at Papertrey Ink for their 4th anniversary celebration. They really know how to party, huh?
Around here...I'll be honest and tell you I've just been trying to keep my head above water. We have the dreaded influenza virus floating around our home. Julia missed an entire week of school and right now my littlest bug is down with the fever. Today was day 4 for her...it just seems to go on forever. I'm sitting on her bed, right beside her, hoping this latest dose of medicine will take that fever down. It might be a long night.
I decided to curl up with my laptop to keep me awake, so I thought I might as well pop in here and post the rest of my Papertrey projects. I hope you all had a great time at the release party and were able to convince your sweetie to make this a Papertrey-filled Valentine's Day. :-)
Here are the rest of my projects for the February release...
Using Flower Fusion #1
Using Fillable Frames Additions 1, Background Basics: Newsprint, and some Button Boutique...
Using Hello, Friend...
And last, but definitely not least, Friendship Jar Spring Fillers...
Complete supply lists can be found in the Papertrey Ink Gallery
Good night...I'm off the check the temp...think cool thoughts, ok? :-(
okay. fingers crossed for you

Hope your little one gets feeling better soon! That's a long time to be sick! :(

Oh sorry to hear that your family has the sickies! We went through our bout in January...right after I bragged to our pediatrician at a well-child visit "My kids haven't missed a day of school yet!", grrrr!
Beautiful, beautiful colors and projects! I love the Love Note card and the Flower Fusion ones the mostest :)

Just a thanks for creating all of these lovely things, especially when your children aren't feeling well.
I have a quick question about the twine on your first card - do you know the manufacturer? It's different from PTI, but I really like the bolder pop of red.
Thanks and wishing that you're all well soon.

So sorry to hear that your kiddos are sick. I've got 3 of my 4 down with the flu as well. We're going through SO many Kleenex, it's ridiculous! Seeing your projects this morning made me feel a lot less guilty for ordering everything that I did! I can't wait for my goodies to arrive!

I hope everybody feels better soon in your home.
