Wow, where has the Summer gone...

I'm 3 weeks away from having to go back to school and I didn't get near as much scrapping done as I wanted to! One thing I have been working on is a special baby album for a dear friend. I won't post all of it now in case she sees my blog, but here is a sneak peek at one of the layouts...I used the Cricut cartridge New Arrival that I bought from Oh My Crafts to make the pregnant lady and the "It's a Girl" phrase...sooo cute!!! I love this cartridge and OMC!! I can't wait to put the whole album together and give it to her... :0)

Letters for a sweet baby boy that will be making his entrance in the near future. :0) I used new paper from Cosmo Cricket and My Little Shoebox and then added just a few little baby embellies by K & CO.... :0) I also stickled around the edges to make them pop a little bit. Thanks for looking! :0)

Happy Spring!!

Happy Spring!! I really needed to update the blog and I really need to figure out how to do it where I can get my words where I want them! Guess that will be a Summer project... :0) At the beginning of March, Dean and Jordan had the Daddy/Daughter Dance at school. I went to take pictures so that was fun! Here are a few pics of them from that night...

At the beginning of Spring break, we took a short trip down to LA and Miss. to visit family. While there, we got to celebrate by cousin's 16th birthday...huh??? When did she grow up into a teenager???!! Happy birthday Krysten!

We also made a stop in Bossier to see my godmother Mrs. Dot and her family. This is her son Billy who was one of my first babysitters... :0)

This weekend I have been scrapping!! They are layouts from our trip last weekend. On this one, I used Stickles on the 16 to make it pop.

For this layout, I outlined the word birthday and the word sweet on the sticker in red stickles...

These pics cracked me up! I just had to scrap them! She was covering her hair so it wouldn't get wet even though she was going home to wash it...huh???

This cracked me up too! Next time we will take a whole roll... :0) OH, and I was out of Ls so I had to use and upside down 7...whatever works!

What a day!!!

The day started out with Jordan playing in the Federation competition at SWTC where she earned a Superior Plus!! That allowed her to come back this afternoon and play in the recital! She was so excited and did a great job! You can hear her in the video above... ;0) The day continued with a fun day celebrating Em's birthday at the mall with a fun scavenger hunt and some shopping. They also had some foto fun in the little booth...too cool! Twas a great day all the way around!!

Chugging along...

I was able to go to my happy place The Crafty Scrapper on Friday so I was able to get some good scrapping in. I completed 7 pages then today finished another that I started last Monday when I was there. I haven't scrapped last Christmas, but have already scrapped half of this one! It's been fun anyway! I hope I can keep up this pace as I am FAR from being caught up!!! The first 2 sets of layouts I used Stickles, the first on the title and the second on all the gifts on the bottom of the page.

Out with the old and in with the new...

Happy 2009! The last few days of 2008 I spent scrapping so here are the last layouts of 2008. The first one is of Jordan with her Santa letter. She typed it this year so I was able to get a copy of it. She wrapped up in Mom's robe one Sunday and went over to mail her letter to Santa! Be sure and click on the picture so you can read her letter. It's quite entertaining! The next layout is of her booty from Christmas morning from Santa. The last layout is of sweet little Hannah as Santa baby! What a cutie she is!!! More layouts to come this year in 2009!

So long Christmas now bring on the new year!

Here is a video that is a highlight of our Christmas. I can't believe we have just a few more days of 2008. Where did this year go??? I hope to be a better blogger next year, but I think I was better this year than last! ;0) Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful new year and I will see you next year!
