Butterfly Birthday

My Grandmother's favorite colour is blue (same as me), so I decided to make her a card with a spring feeling in shades of blue.  I have to admit I love these 3D butterflies and you won't believe where I got them - DOLLAR TREE!!!

Wedding Card

Thought it would be fun to do something a little different for a wedding card.  I always seem to do white or cream and not very much colour.  Hope you enjoy this little card.

A New Year

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Looking forward to this upcoming year.  Lots of projects to work on and some scrapbooking retreats.  Just a couple of photos for Christmas to enjoy.

This explains my year!

Giveaway & Crafting

Northridge Publishing is having a Doodlebug Giveaway. I love this collection, it is so cute! I have to admit I am drawn to bright and colourful collections. I find sometimes Fall/Thanksgiving collections have no colour in them but a dull brown, yellow or orange. When I think of fall I think of bright and vibrant colours. Check out the Giveaway!!

Tonight, the kids are sleeping and my husband is off helping his brother. So, I am home crafting on the living room floor watching Game of Thrones.

Goodnight and Happy Crafting!!!

International Teacher's Day

October 5th is International Teacher's Day, since this year its a Saturday, we as a family celebrated it on Friday, October 4th.  I decided to make this cute and simple little gift.  I found the idea on pinterest.  As usual I waited to the last minute to make it (9pm the night before), so trying to find the perfect ribbon was  a hard task.  I ended up finding something cute but not exactly what I wanted.

I arranged the M&M's in the same colour pattern as the poem.  This is what the poem said:

 

 

The Teachers loved it and my son was so happy to be able to give them a gift.  My husband says I was kissing up to the Teacher.  Really I think they deserve a gift, plus they have to deal with my son, who is a miniature version of my husband - God Bless Them!

 

Here is some pictures of our visit to the apple orchard earlier in the week.

 

 

BYE :)

Hello World!

I just wanted to say hi and let the world know I am still here and you are not forgotten!

I just recently read this post on one of my fav blogs.  It was well written and she really hit the nail on the head.  I also have had some similar experiences like this and really understand what she was saying.  I recommend everyone reading it!

I'm still Here

Wow, were does time go. I've been here but as you can see I'm doing a really bad job of posting.

My little guys are getting very big. I now have a two year old, it seems like yesterday I was in the hospital looking down at his little face and thinking how much my world had just changed. He is such a little man now and he knows what he wants. For his birthday he requested an Elmo themed Birthday party. I made the banner, invites and grab bags. They were so much fun to make but trying to find that much red card stock was hard. My youngest will be turning one in the next couple of months. I now have to start really thinking what theme I am going to have for his party. I'm sure his big brother will help me with ideas.







We celebrated my Grandfather and Grandmother's 80th Birthdays (June & September Birthdays) with an open house. I helped with decorations. I made this banner, which I don't think turned out to bad since I did it a couple of hours before the party.



I just recently celebrated another birthday. Of course it wasn't that exciting, I spent the day watching my two kids plus my nephew at a ball diamond. While my husband & brother in-law played in their baseball tournament for two days. But the exciting part is that my husband gave me money as my birthday gift. I really want to go to the Scrappin Great Deals Garage Sale and now I can. So watch out fellow crafters who are going to the sale, I've got my reusable bags ready and I plan to be one of the first in line!!!

Speaking of SGD, they just put together their first Design Team. What a great bunch of ladies. Many of them I have met, taken their classes or just chit chatted with them at the store. Can't wait to see their work and upcoming classes!!

Well its cold and raining; a perfect day to snuggle with my boys and watch movies.

Have a great Day!!
