Blog Re-Design

By -
Life is pretty boring lately. It's been cold, and I like staying in when I can. Besides, I've been totally obsessed about digital scrapbook designs lately. Bry says he needs to do an intervention. I have downloaded several GB of very cute papers, embellishments & alphabets. I decided to give another try at designing my own blog background. I think it turned out really cute. The big letter are from Shabby Princess, but all of the other elements & paper came from Digi-Designs by Nicole. - It's her "Rustic Grass" collection. I think it's so cute. I love the colors too. They remind me of the way I feel like I'm in-between spring & winter. I'm waiting in anticipation for spring to arrive. Who isn't?

This week should be a busy one...with being in charge of joint activity, preschool, valentine parties, Allison's birthday...I could probably keep going, but I want to be able to get out of bed in the morning without feeling too overwhelmed. Life is good. It's good to be busy, right?

You should totally make a business! Heck, some extra $ in the pocket is ALWAYS good. It is kinda saturated but I still think there is a good market for customized blog layouts!!

I personally would LOVE you to show me how to at least do more with my memory mixer. Isn't that the same program you have? I LOVE the idea of digi scrapbooking. It just takes less time etc. I still love making handmade cards though!

CUTE LAYOUT!!!!!

I am very impressed! I wanted to do something like that, but didn't even know where to begin and just paid someone. I am lazy like that.

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W...

SEW Happy...Some of My "Projects"

It's October, and I DO like Halloween. I think it's fun to dress up & pretend. Sometimes it's a little grotesque & scary or pretty or even silly. This year, I felt like I should embrace my "roundness". I kept thinking of ways I could emphasize my prego belly, and this is what I came up with (for about$7 too). I bought a black T-shirt (used a coupon) at Michaels. I got 1/2 yd of orange fabric for my pumpkin (which could have made 2), then 1/4yd of black, green & orange w/ polka-dots. I knew I already had some Under Wonder (Heat & Bond) stuff at home that I could use. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, so I actually put the T-shirt on wrong-side-out & marked where I wanted the pumpkin, so I could decide how big to make it. I sewed with black thread to make lines on the pumpkin, just to embellish it a little more. I cut eyes, nose & mouth out of black & ironed it on with under wonder. Then, sewed around the outside edges. I attache...

Video Friday

By -
OK, today is video Friday. I was looking through some video clips with the kids this morning & decided to share a couple of cute ones. This is one of my faves. - This is just typical for Adam when Amelia was born. He loved his little sis SO much. What happened? It's just funny to hear Amelia "whine" as her brother loves on her.
