I did get a few rubber and acrylic stamps but I am too lazy to take pics.
Alhamdulillah my son is better! No fever, no rash, back to normal, so we left the house to go shopping at Walmart with iGrandma. I also scored some cheap washable Crayola jumbo markers and washable Crayola beginner crayons for iBaby. iHubster was working all day, so this was the perfect opp to shop for bargains, since my mom has enormous patience and loved strolling the cart with iBaby in it.
Afterwards we went to a local diner for dinner, and iBaby was nothing short of a menace at the table. He is 15 months now, and throws everything. It is hard to teach them the true meaning of NO at this age. He is starting to gain an awareness, because now he references me with a glance before he hurls things. He has also mastered ripping his diaper off from underneath his shorts. Fortunately he's only done it a few times, at home, with nothing in it. Whew.
Tonight we watched CNN's Christine Amanpour present "Generation Islam". I missed the first hour, and caught the last half that took place in Gaza. I couldn't stop crying, seeing the damage, destruction, disruption and trauma the children are facing. I saw all these little children running loose in rubble and amongst other dangerous things, hungry and feeling hopeless. Very emotional. I would like to see the first hour, so Ive set the DVR.
Well, once again this was a craftless night. Tomorrow night inshaallah is mine! When iHubcap & iBaby fall asleep, I will tip toe out and craft myself into a cocoon with the "bumper stash" UmmSalihah sent me :)
I took this coming Tuesday off from work inshaallah, to try to prepare some different kinds of soups that I can freeze for Ramadan. I'm looking forward to this, as I am starting to get excited that our holy month is almost here. If anyone has any recipes they would like to share, hook a sistah up!

Assalam-alaikam sis,
I'm so pleased to hear that iBaby is better mash'Allah, what a relief for you.
I'm impressed by the stash, the coloured papers are my favourites. The mini cards are a very nice size too.
It does sound like you are addicted (I'm always looking for a quiet minute to get crafting). I have a few stamps, but haven't done much with them, so I am curious to see what you do with them. can't wait to see the next batch of cards.
*sighs I love scrapbooking but in montreal everything is expensive!! i know in th US its like a gold mine for me I think i have aheart attack everytime I visit Micheals in plattsburg lol but I havent gone since my hijab, really not in to mood to be held up for 6 hours because i wear a 5.99$ leChateau scarf.
