Not to have a whiny baby post but my back went NUTSO this morning and by the time my DH left for work I couldn't walk, lift my arms, was in TERRIBLE, FREAKISH PAIN(!!!) had taken my maximum meds and was still sobbing.
Kind of a lame-o start to the month of June.
My boys came home from an early morning landscaping job and I pulled myself together for their sake - as us moms are wont to do. They immediately wanted to know what was up with the index cards on the table.
I explained to them that we were doing Index Card a Day for June and July - 61 cards in total and went over the rules (basically put something on an index card).
They said I better creep over to the table and join them then. And so I did. Slowly, painfully, with a few bad words. I made it to the table and we got painty. Well, my youngest and I did. My oldest is insistent that this is a great opportunity to illustrate Java and OO principles so they can really get straight in his head
and my middle guy loved the grid prompt so he did a markers and pencil card.
Here's my youngest's:
This one's mine:
Here's my boys working on their cards:
Have a great weekend!

Look at all the texture!
And all together:
And we're storing the completed cards in a berry basket. Cute and handy.
Have a great weekend!

What a great idea, you find such fun projects Nicole. Am looking forward to seeing some more of these.
Hope you feel a bit more human soon x
I really hope that back pain of yours settles down :( in the meantime your boys are amazing and so are all your ICAD cards
Love your card, and especially that you got your boys in on it too! way cool...hope you're feeling better soon!
Ok...if your card is lame-o then the rest of us should just stop while we're ahead...I think you knocked it out of the park girl. And way to get your kids in on the fun!
So excited to see your kids doing this with you. Wonder if my daughter would do it? Love ALL of your cards.
I love that your boys were enthusiastic about joining in the fun. Your card is adorable, no sign of pain in it. Maybe art will be good therapy for you. Hope your back starts healing soon.
All the cards are great! Yours -- well, I'd just like to frame it and hang it on my wall! Love! Glad your boys are doing it with you. I've got my granddaughters doing it with me. Maybe my grandson will too. I'll ask him tomorrow.

I love that your whole family gets into the prompts. I also love the idea of storing these in a berry basket. Cute. Hope you are feeling better.
I adore your typewriter stamp! I found an old typewriter at the Goodwill today!! So excited to use those wonderful letters in my art! Thank you for sharing!
Oh fun first card. Hope you back mends soon, I cannot imagine. Ouch. xox
Oh, I hope you are doing better- I haven't read all your posts...just the one I found on Pinterest where the lady from India writes and you posted a tutorial, and then that one led to this one.....
I love how your boys joined you. I love their cards.
Last year, I did a calendar challenge, but the spaces were too small to journal & was thinking of doing a small piece each day. If I do, I will link back to you. Best regards...
