Hailey Update:  I shared all the after surgery photos with you last winter...well here's the first soccer game that Hailey played in Monday night.  Mind you, there were no practices prior to this game.  We got her equipped with a knee brace to help protect her reconstructed ACL.  I was pretty nervous for her...I don't ever want her to go through anything like that again - it was horrible.  The recovery time is 9-12 months - well she's back on the field playing after 7.  There was no going at it easy - she was either in or out and let me tell you "she was definately in!"  No fear here!  She's #11 in Blue with the big black brace on.

Hippo Punch Card

 

How cute is this?  It was the "Punch" card for my Technique Tuesday class.  I got the hippo idea from LeeAnn Greff.  We made pink and blue ones for both baby boys and girls.  I just happen to be delivering a baby gift up north this weekend for a little girl - so it's the perfect card!

 
Check out these adorable little googlie eyes - I picked them up at the local craft store.  I was looking for some googlie eyes that were bigger than the ones I had...just plain ones...but when I saw these - I couldn't resist!!!  They are 7mm in size.

 
Here's a punch template if you'd like to make one of your own.  I slipped a Dimensional in under the snout on the bottom end to raise up the tusks and make them pop!
