New Addiction!!!!

   Oh, it is not easy for me to say "you were right!" but when i do I can say it with a smile! So......Kristopher....."you were right!" I broke out the Silhouette and have discovered I have another  addiction.....Here is some of our wonderful creations. I had the help of Maya & Addison. (yes, so easy a 4 year old can do it!)

This is Maya...she makes her first communion next week. She had to make this banner for her big day. It will be on display on the pew during mass. The assignment was to create a banner with her likes and interests included. The peace sign is a perfect Maya touch! We created it using heat transfer and the Silhouette!

Here is my creation. As soon as I spotted this pillow in the store, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!

The best for last.....sweet Addison. So happy with her purple cow! We cut it out of vinyl and adhered it to her pink wall, right under the Princess sign! Impressed with Maya's banner she wanted to create a cow shirt? She loves it! So fun to create stuff with these beauties!

Do you have a Silhouette? If not I highly recommend it! I even know where you can purchase one!!!

Till next time!

a little time for me!

I am sure there are alot of you out there including my ever so patient hubby who thinks i play all day....oh how i wish!!! Well this weekend I was lucky enough to play all day with my friends! I attended a 2 day crop and the best time! Thanks girls! (no, this was not a Scrap Happy crop, just incase you might have thought you missed something) Here is a little of what I created!

Happy 8th birthday Maya! A month late? I know I always ask "where does the time go" but seriously where does the time go? 8 years ago I was blessed with my second daughter, my "lavendar" baby! Today you are excited to be learning to write in cursive!

The first picture is our birthday tradition...cupcakes!!! One day while shopping at Wal Mart(yes, Joanne I was at Wal Mart!!) I came accross this cupcake book, so every year the girls pick out a cupcake to create....well for me to create!

Anything for my girls!

Happy birthday Bailey!

new to the whole blogging thing....

OK- So I know what blogs are, I guess i just look at mine differnetly. For me it is alot easier than a journal, one that i share but i do not really think about that part.Plus, i can just log in, i have a problem finding things!!! I like the thought of having somewhere to go and look at all the things i was either thinking., feeling or doing.

I have a list of blogs in my favorites: 1 of my many favs are of coarse Rachel, my queens of scrapland, Amy, Marie, layle(can't wait till the class in September!!!!),Stephanie(thanks for the new company update....it is on its way!!!) and Ali(she makes me want to have another baby, they just grow up tooo fast!!!)

I have a question though for all you bloggers....
*what's up with all the freebies? I know there are lots looking for something for free but to have 4 out 5 posts linking other blogs with give-a-ways? I guess i do not see it.

*Do you think it is OK to post pictures & layouts of children who are not your own? how about if you took the pictures?

So, let me know what you think!

it's 12:30am need to finish getting ready for the EXPO!!!! I had to do a late shift, the girls wanted to play Yahtzee.

till the next time!!

How do I do it???

I seem to be asking myself this alot lately.....

I love what I do & would not change it for the life of me but I am tired!!!

I have super supportive husband, 3 girls....2 of which are starting to love helping their mom....i bribe them with scrapping supplies!!! The best part is when we are done we make a pack to scrap...they are so amazing.....One of my MANY goals is to start an online gallery with there work-they love going to the scrap happy home page and seeing the pages of them!!!

PLUS, i have super friends!!! You are there when i need to vent...it is so nice to have friends who are just friends, no drama!!! I have battled with cutting the drama out of my life for the last few months and after stepping back i am completely amazed how the true friends i have are real. No drama!!! Just fun!! yeah, we have moments but true friends can say "hey, sorry i was just having a bad day, here's your magazine back...." Each have there own personalities, just like me but i do believe as you grow as friends you realize "so, what" that person is still a part of my life and i would not change them for anything!!! Ok-starting to ramble.....thanks girls, i would not be who i am without your unconditional support!!!

Till the next time!!!!
