Sunrise

Just taking a day at a time. I love that daylight lasts longer in the evenings now. This is my view every morning on the way to work..my exit by the turnpike.


My little Packarooo is 10 months now. He has turned into his sister. yep, he now tugs around a blankie everywhere he goes. When he wakes up from his nap, he crawls out of the room with his blankie attached to the wrist. And he's been sleeping on the floor matress we put on the ground because he hollers and yells bloody murder whenever we try to put him in his crib. He's standing up much better now but not long enough for me to capture on film...he moves lighting fast on his knees. This boy can eat I tell ya. Not like his picky eater of a brother, he'll chow anything you put into his mouth and eats mainly table food.



And a few pictures from our trip to visit Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kim in Colorado a couple weeks ago.

Using up scraps

Made this card using scraps from my Jillibean kit last month from TSR. I followed Dawn McVey's flower tutorial, love the 3d look. Check out her tutorial: poofy vintage print button flower





My cousin went on a family trip in Texas and sent me some photos to scrap for her.

Rosettes

I've been playing around with making my own flower embellishments out of fabric and an old print book.




I made this page for my good friend Monica. She decided to eat right and workout and lost a lot of weight. Doesn't she look fabulous? Photo by Emily Andrews.

Five Fast Years

Year: 2005

One special little girl entered our lives








Fast forward to Year: 2010


She continues to bring us so much joy...



We just got done celebrating her birthday with 10 of her classmates and lots of family at her gymnastics gym.



Her grandma made her the bomb of a cake...what a special treat...I couldn't get a good picture of her blowing out the candles because she was hidden behind this tower.



And she brought home so much loot, it should last her for the next 5 years to come...


Happy 5th Birthday baby girl, I love you!

Give me some Jillibean

The Scrap-room is featuring Jillibean soup in one of their 4 kits for March. I love the red flower print paper the most.








This line is Bella Blvd: Man of the House. The sketch is by Julie Bonner.











I have a several cropper hoppers that I received back in 2005 when I went to Boston to Creating Keepsakes University....yes, I went for 3 days nonstop scrapbooking. I use one cropper hopper to store my sewing threads & needles. And on the flip side I store all my floss. I wanted to alter the front of the cover so I wouldn't get the sides mixed up. For the other two cropper hoppers, I store all my small embellishments: brads, eyelets, photo corners, metal clips, etc. And the third I store my misc ribbons.

Click, Clack, Moo

Last Friday I took the day off to drive Kenzie to her preschool field trip at the children's museum. Little brother Micah got to tag along and watch the show click, clack, moo. It was a very cute play filled with dancing and comical actors. Micah commented that the tv remote Duck was using was just like the one on the Upside Down Show, which is is favorite tv show on Nick Jr. He has also been telling me he loves me everyday and it comes with a hug. I don't know what has gotten into him all of a sudden but it is so sweet so I'll just enjoy it.






This trouble maker has 4 teeth and is cutting 2 more. He stands for a few seconds without holding onto anything. He loves to eat table food and grabs at anything within reach. He also loves to throw fits if you don't walk him in the direction he wants to go.
