More layouts...

I spent the day at my happy place again yesterday. Almost 14 hours of scrapping and 11 layouts later we left for home. We had a great time and laughed till our sides hurt! I think that is a record for me getting 11 layouts finished...actually really 9...2 were finished except for title and journaling. I also finished some before left for vacation. All are of our trip from Branson last summer. I got some pics in the mail yesterday from this year's trip so I'm anxious to finish last year to start this year! Ok, most are not fancy as there are so many pics I just want them finished! Here they are!

This is one from before vacation. I stickled around the letters so they look icy....

All about the road trip and our bathroom woes along the way....

The beginning of our trip on day one.

Some putt-putt fun at Celebration City.

The shirt says it all...she is our little firecracker! I added the red bling to the white letters....

Having some fun on some roller coasters at SDC and Celebration City.

Unfortunately they didn't win the contest, but they sure had fun!

An unexpected visitor outside of our condo...

Jodan loved this game and shooting the targets.

Take a look at Dean's face...he didn't fit in very well... ;0) Jordan had to ride by herself the next time.

A great basketball show we saw at SDC...

We decided to get some old-fashioned photos taken while at CC. Jordan picked the era so here we are before the photo shoot!

Some recent layouts...

I went to a crop at the Crafty Scrapper ( my HAPPY place!) this weekend and had a fantabulous time cropping with friends. I completed 5 layouts while there. Today while waiting for J to get out of basketball camp, I completed 4 more. All of our trip from Branson last summer except the page about the hailstorm we had in April. I thought I should work on Branson pics before we leave again this week for Branson!!!

Gifts galore...

June is just full of gift giving for us! We have Father's Day, Mom's birthday, Dean's birthday, and now a sweet new baby girl's birthday ( more about her later). This year Jordan and I decided (really me and she went along with it) to be crafty with some of the gifts. First, for Father's Day I got some $1 wooden frames at M's. I then gave her the paint bucket and told her to pick a color to paint each frame. I also found some cute foam letters and embellies on sale that were perfect for FD frames. She had a great time making each one. She has one more to make for a late FD present that she will work on tomorrow after VBS. Since we were making those for FD, I decided she could make one for Mom too. She used left over stickers from a letter I made a few weeks ago. All parties loved their frames! Now since I've been making letters for so many people I decided to make one for Mom for her birthday and one for Dean for his. Dean won't get his until Sunday but I hope he likes it. It is about one of his favorite pasttimes! But Mom got her's last week and absolutely loved it!!

Now back to that sweet baby girl. My friend Carrie was expecting a baby girl in July but she had other plans and wanted to be a June baby! I had planned on making her name so last night when I heard she was in labor I got cracking! Her room is purple but I didn't know about the bedding. They told me today that it is pink, purple, and green. This paper couldn't be anymore perfect! It's the new Sweet Baby Jane line from Daisy D's. She was born this morning (June17th) at 12:14 a.m. Happy birthday sweet baby Hannah!!

We survived the recital...

It was a long couple of days but we survived! She did GREAT on all of her dances. I can't wait to get the DVD. I just hope it's good and can see her. We were able to get a few pics sans flash since there was to be no flash photography...we abided by the rules... :0) I'm just happy to have any pics even if they are blurry. These are from her tap number to Sleigh Bells.

These are from her ballet number. It was Waltz of the Flowers. They looked very cute with their flowers... :0)

These are from her jazz number. It was a High School Musical tune and it was her FAVORITE dance!!
We ended the night by giving her some roses. She of course loved them!!

Another order...

The more I do, the faster I get! I knew about this order last week, but got all the info yesterday. I went to the stores last night and came home and started on them. After getting halfway through with them I thought I might as well finish so I did! She couldn't believe it when I told her they were already finished!! These are for her 5 year old niece. She loves pink, dance and ballet, popcorn is her favorite food, loves fishing, loves having her nails painted, and loves swimming. I hope she likes them! OH, and the mom I made the dance letters for took them to the studio and she had people wanting to take orders!! She is going to display them up there with my name and number for me...I might be very busy this summer but that is just fine with me!!!!!

I have a little business going here...

So one little baby gift for a baby shower has now turned into a nice, little side business. The last couple of weeks I had 5 orders at one time! I'm all caught up now but will have another order next week. I can't beleive how this has just blossomed!! I'm having fun with it and definitely like having the extra money!

This is the second set of letters I made. I made some for her sister Abbey also but forgot to take a pic of it altogether. I heard that the girls LOVED them!

This was for a girl who was about to graduate and is on her way to college. These are initial of a little boy who is nearly 2 who loves airplanes, cars, balls, and frogs.I love these letters! These were made for Jordan's piano teacher. These are her initials. She absolutely LOVED them!!!

These next two sets were for a teacher's nieces. I had the hardest time finding rollerblades! I finally found some in the button section at Joann!The next set was for a girl graduating from a local high school. I love that paper!!This one is for my friend who wanted a ribbon holder for her bathroom with a garden theme. I love these dragonflies and butterflies from K&Co. and the ladybugs are too cute!!This has got to be one of my favorite ones!! A lady we teach Sunday school with wanted one with all golf stuff. I love how it turned out and she LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it!!!
This last set is for a girl at school is very involved in dance...bet you couldn't tell! Thanks for looking!

More letters...

Seems I know a lot of people having babies so I will be making a lot of these in the near future! This is the 4th set I have made, 2 girls and 2 boys. This one is a little different since this mom isn't into the normal baby blue colors. I decided to go with this new Red and Blue paper from Little Yellow Bicycle and hopefully it will match the red and blue they are going with! I also decided to leave off the baby embellies since they are the baby blue colors. I think they are pretty bold on their own. I hope she likes them!
