Children's Climber Update

So here's the climber with all its steel!



S/S Logo

Its named after the 2 companies that donated a big portion of making the climber!

If look closely u can see writing on the yellow center beam in the back of this pic....Joe added our names to the climber! its the tallest beam and wont get covered and I cant wait to climb up when its completed and see our names! It has Coles name first then a nickname daddy calls cole, then me (Beth) and then Joes name (altho I think he put JOEFUS just like he did on the concrete but that will end up getting covered on the floor!

can u say proud!!?

the guy in the black jacket and jeans is the designer of the climber!

This is the Boss Mr.Schuff and the lady is director of the museum.

The steel is all hung and so that means Joes part of the job is finished......When he is finished on a job they have a party to celebrate called a "Topping Out Party"! This was Friday, Oct. 9th and boy was it fun!!! All the workers thus far were able to invite their family to celebrate and we went.

Its scheduled to open beginning of the new year (Jan.-Feb.)

Halloween Mini Swap for TWS

Heres what I made for the mini swap. theme was halloween for october! not sure why but the last page uploaded first! so take a look at my book backwards :P
above are the last 2 pages. plenty of space to add pics.

Behind the pumpkin is a pull out flip out mini book for pics and journaling. the other page has a pullout tag with ribbons stapled to the side!

I used alcohol inks and a stamp on the transparancy pullout and the ither page had 3 pullout tags.

The left page has a photo corner and the right page has a flip out for pics or journaling

The cover. Notice my favorite spider at the bottom left!!!

I hope Tara likes it! This was my first mini swap with this group and only my second mini made ever! I had so much fun making it! I see many more minis in my future!! (I forgot to take pics of the first mini I made just 2 weeks ago for my scrapbooking group on meetup.com but I made a christmas album for the organizers sister in law Heather....I havent heard if shes happy or not yet but I sure loved the album!!!)

PINK MINIS FOR A CURE!!!

Pink Minis for a cure!!
/http://followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com/2009/10/pink-minis-for-cure.html
I'm participating in this in honor of my cousin Karen, who has been fighting on and off for many years.She is an inspiration to me and has amazed me all these years! So Karen, keep up the fight, and I wish your good health to stay for many, many years to come!

Childrens Museum Bottle Caps

you donate a dollar and they give u a bottle cap to decorate and they will be hanging them up all over the climber....so I got out my alcohol inks since they were metal and pretty much only gave little stickers to add to them..so I threw those stickers aside and got the alcohol inks and went to work! Im goin to add our names to them!

so i had to share since I thought the first one looked just like a road with trees on both sides of the road with rainbow in the fore ground!!! can u see it?????

Phoenix Children's Museum's Addition

So Joe is Foreman on the job for Phoenix Children's Museum's New Addition of a Climber!!! Schuff Steel (along with a few others) donated supplies and time to build this crazy climber that has an "Artsy" twist to a climber featuring a flying bathtub with wings, a dog house at the tippity top, along with a rock climbing wall with dinosaur feet as the pegs to climb on... just to name a few!

Cole and I were able to visit Daddy working on Saturday, Sept.19Th which was 6 days into the job. We took a bunch of pics while daddy was working and we even got to go up to the third floor to have the museum to ourselves!!!

Going up in the elevator we didn't realize how cool is was going to be being able to run freely without anyone else to bother us! Boy, did we have fun!

My favorite was the shoe wall and the bathroom! The bathroom had a series of 5 staggered sinks for short to tall people along with a kid sized toilet and the coolest shiny floor! Cole's favorite (besides the buttons in the elevator, and yes. even the alarm button!) was, of course, downstairs where daddy was working since there was so much to play with (BIG nuts and bolts, the Genie, the wood, the steel...so much to climb on and the climber wasn't even done yet!!

Once this is finished I'm so excited to be able to tell Cole that Daddy built that climber!!! How exciting is that?!

mini book for coles grammy

Heres a page with the 4x4s! the jeep along with Coles little quad! lol...and the pull out tag was made from a picture when we were fishing by the lake! I love how it looks since it solely out of a picture! I plan on doing this again!
This was around xmas time..the tag pull out pic was at zoo lights at Phx Zoo
Heres my favorite page...B&W pics on the turquise paper with the pink bellie flowers! love this color combo!!

I inked all the edges of the whole book! I love to distress!

Here is a bookmark I made her since she loves to read. Now who wouldnt want that cute little cookie monster face peeking out of a book!

Ok so this wasnt really in order PLUS I had to leave out the cutest page in the book since I guess u r limited to the amount of pics u add? The last page was THE END with a pic of Cole running out of shower with a bear butt!!! Get it !!! lol

I'm new to this blogging!

Ok, time to get some stuff on here! I've never blogged b4 so bare with me as I learn! I also would like to put some of my work on here but I first need to take pictures of them!!! Over the next few days I hope to do this and get them added to here! I love to look at other blogs to get ideas so I hope I can inspire others like they do me!!
