It was definatley time and we were FINALLY able to go skiing as a family with some great snow. Don't misunderstand... I absolutely loved playing with my kiddos in the sunshine this time of year. But, I absolutley <u>LOVE</u> living where you get to experience each season and all that it has to offer. I<br />
I had so much fun making this page. I got to use some products that I have been hoarding forever, like the bright pink butterfly laser cut paper from American Crafts that I cut apart and used strategically on my page and the yellow Fabrips from Studio Calico that I folded and layered with other papers beneath the photos. Of course I stitched in a few places and added my journaling and fun embellishments through out the page. Right now (like a lot of other people I'm sure!) I love adding flag banners to my pages. I also love how fun it is to cut and fold pieces of paper and make them mimic ribbon and fabric. This is such a great way to use scraps and add details to cards and pages that is super fast easy.<br />
I hope you are having a great day and get to create a little!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711740673849968078.post-44122885179134490202012-01-12T14:26:00.000-08:002012-01-12T14:26:44.176-08:00Mat Sets and thoughts...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I spent some time today searching through my mat sets that I have created and sold over the past year and I wanted to share. When asked how I seem to stay busy as a stay at home mom, I often laugh inside because my three kiddos keep me running like a crazy woman. A better question would be, what do you do to stay sane? My reply would be scrapbooking. Anyone who knows me knows that this is my passion. "Me" time is when kiddos go to sleep and my sweetheart isn't too far away and I get to create. It doesn't seem to matter if it is for me or someone else. I love the paper and the embellishments... the way colors, patterns, and textures work together to make something completely unexpected, but so fun and unique. I love completing projects and seeing my children's faces when its a page about them. I love handing an album I've finished to the person who ordered it from me, and the surprise and excitement I see on their face. It makes me happy. Plain and simple that is why I scrap... for myself and others. It makes me HAPPY! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I special made this album for a woman here in town as a baby gift for her new grandson. I loved working with all the fun bright colors that the soon to be mom had picked out. Like all my other mini albums, I had a ball making it... I hope you enjoy it too and get some fun ideas to use.<br />

It gets the kiddos and me excited about projects. So my little Kindergarten daughter brought a note home that she needed to decorate a hard boiled egg tolook like Humpty-Dumpty and bring it to school today. So last night we boiled some eggs and cooled them off and ended up making some serious decisions, like eye color and deciding on a girly version because my daughter really didn't want to make a boy. It took some convincing, but I convinced my daughter the egg needed suspenders, and she loved them. We did not however add hair because " ...eggs don't have hair,Mom!" How funny that we had such a good time dressing up a hard-boiled egg with craft scraps, a marker, and a hot glue gun:)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711740673849968078.post-64170413149112179852011-09-20T16:36:00.000-07:002011-09-20T16:36:13.175-07:00New ProjectsI know I haven't posted in a while and I am so sorry. The summer came to an abrupt halt around the middle of August when my kiddos started back to school and I have returned to the chauffeur mom status again... but that's fun and I love my kiddos and watching them grow up in all these different ways. <br />
<br />
About six months <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">ago</span> (in the middle of this never-ending chaos)</span> I had casually mentioned the thought of starting my own business to my adorable husband. <em>Horseshoes and Honeysuckle Scrapbook Company</em> was born... actually this business has been a work in progress since about February and a itch in the back of my mind for a lot longer than that. So this business is the main reason I have been away. I have obsessed and dreamed and made up my mind and changed it a million and one different times about this endeavor. The truth is I am terrified. I am scared to death of failing at this dream. But I know that if I don't do this and give it my best shot I will always wonder. <br />

We will release at least one kit around the 15th of each month that has a bunch of fun stuff to make pages, albums, cards, or whatever else your heart desires:) I'll be posting ideas on our facebook page and the company blog and of course here. Thanks for being patient and please, please, pretty please check out my website! Thanks for dropping by have a great night!<br />

It only took about a month get them to do it! I have been working on projects here and there, but the truth is I have been having way too much fun playing with my kids and enjoying all that our quaint town has to offer in the Summer. I think I kind of crashed after I got done teaching my class at the <a href="http://www.quiltwalk.com/">Quilt Walk Festival</a>. It was terrifying and fantastic all at the same time. I only wish I had gotten to take a class! For Father's Day we didn't even go to church. My sweet husband decided he wanted the flu as his gift. But I made him a mini tag album even if he just wanted to be sick and grumpy that day. Last weekend we enjoyed three days of the Balloon Festival and watched from our front yard as hot air balloons climbed into the sky above us. That darn wind made things a bit tricky part of the time, but things were perfect for the glow on Saturday night. I'd never seen anything like it until I moved here. The two main streets are closed down and the hot air balloons are set up and down those two streets. It's a fantastic site. Then there's cotton candy, kettlecorn, and lemonade stands and vendor booths with antiques and jewelry. The smell of BBQ perfumes the air and makes your mouth water. I look forward to this special weekend with family and friends each year. I hope you are having fun and enjoying your own lazy summer day;)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624938365313929442" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3hB2B65NloQ/Tg_LpBwA0OI/AAAAAAAAAXk/DO0NpcSsAbY/s400/07-01-2011%2B031.JPG" /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711740673849968078.post-70610984831570253012011-04-25T09:36:00.001-07:002011-04-25T10:56:12.054-07:00This is my World<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CUepUUFqo0k/TbWsCmvRd9I/AAAAAAAAAXI/-bhidE_mfoo/s1600/04-24-2011%2B042.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 370px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599570872463620050" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CUepUUFqo0k/TbWsCmvRd9I/AAAAAAAAAXI/-bhidE_mfoo/s400/04-24-2011%2B042.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;">I know this is an excessive amount of pictures, but I just had to share.

It seems like I have been working like a crazy woman on things for other people( which I love to do:) It was just nice to finish something of my own. I've been working on this album for a few weeks and I have to say I enjoyed every moment! I had so much fun picking out pictures and embellishments that went along with the April kit from Little Black Dress Kit club. I love the earthy tones and the pops of color. It really fits our family. As you can tell from some of the photos, we try not to take <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz6otYf3ACE/TbWsCJk_1NI/AAAAAAAAAW4/SqWzZKzWxmc/s1600/04-24-2011%2B045.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599570864635892946" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz6otYf3ACE/TbWsCJk_1NI/AAAAAAAAAW4/SqWzZKzWxmc/s400/04-24-2011%2B045.JPG" /></a>ourselves too seriously. When I decided to do this album, I knew that I wanted to share our lives in it... who we are and what we love. The title <em>This is my World</em> speaks the truth. <strong><em>My</em></strong> family is my everything. They are <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oodWHuSvAVI/TbWsBzVZ-GI/AAAAAAAAAWw/Fag0WQ8BAhw/s1600/04-24-2011%2B048.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599570858664917090" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oodWHuSvAVI/TbWsBzVZ-GI/AAAAAAAAAWw/Fag0WQ8BAhw/s400/04-24-2011%2B048.JPG" /></a>my world. I wanted my husband and children to know what each of them means to me and give a glimple of their personality. I wrote about each of them on the many pull out tags. On one of the large pull out pages, I wrote about aspects of our daily life and how I feel about all these everyday moments. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vz6otYf3ACE/TbWsCJk_1NI/AAAAAAAAAW4/SqWzZKzWxmc/s1600/04-24-2011%2B045.JPG"></a></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;">The album itselt is a paperbag album(which I love because they are so versitile).

I think the embellishments make this album. I used a variety of letter stickers to get the look I wanted and I got to use some fun designs and techniques like the flag banner on the last page and the rub-ons on some of the <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oz4pW0j5LoQ/TbWrG33aMXI/AAAAAAAAAWg/rAkznZFYuoM/s1600/04-24-2011%2B052.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599569846268998002" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oz4pW0j5LoQ/TbWrG33aMXI/AAAAAAAAAWg/rAkznZFYuoM/s400/04-24-2011%2B052.JPG" /></a>photos. The last one describes my sweetheart and I to a tee. It says " we don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing." The quote goes perfect with my favorite family picture of the year with each of us(including baby) with <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l6qXCASUWuo/TbWrGdNKeNI/AAAAAAAAAWY/u5FzGmpPpPI/s1600/04-24-2011%2B053.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599569839112485074" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l6qXCASUWuo/TbWrGdNKeNI/AAAAAAAAAWY/u5FzGmpPpPI/s400/04-24-2011%2B053.JPG" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-V2ibgNL4j2c/TbWsBkSwnWI/AAAAAAAAAWo/o-ISIFSKVjw/s1600/04-24-2011%2B049.JPG"></a>our stick swords, ready to show off our ninja moves.

A couple of weeks ago my wonderful mother-in-law asked me to make her an album for a conference she was attending. She needed a gift for a basket <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VhcihxcnkNg/TYytOcE0kUI/AAAAAAAAAUY/l1mLahEbnP0/s1600/03-25-2011%2B006.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 226px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588031701226131778" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VhcihxcnkNg/TYytOcE0kUI/AAAAAAAAAUY/l1mLahEbnP0/s400/03-25-2011%2B006.JPG" /></a>they were going to raffle off.

I actually did organize and shift lots of thngs to that craft room in the basement. Then I got this urge to make one of these necklaces. I've wanted one for a while, but haven't wanted to spend the money and couldn't find the colors I wanted. I was pretty sure I could make one, but I think I can make lots of things and end up with a mess sometimes. I'm so happy I finally made one. It wasn't as hard as I would have thought. It took a little time, a little patience, and a couple of burns from hot glue:) But it was worth it to me. My little girl really liked the necklace too! She couldn't stop touching the fabtic flowers and little bits of bling! So sweet.<br /><br />If you'd like to make one, here is a brief idea of what I did. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfkDR8h2sXo/TYOXBezl2VI/AAAAAAAAATA/Etlj2wTLCCA/s1600/03-18-2011%2B032.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585474014574664018" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NfkDR8h2sXo/TYOXBezl2VI/AAAAAAAAATA/Etlj2wTLCCA/s400/03-18-2011%2B032.JPG" /></a><br />1. Find fabric in a variety of colors that you like and cut them into 3"x21" pieces. ( I used a bunch of fat quarters) The more cokors the better I think.<br />2. Use your hot glue gun to tack the fabric together in half (wrong sides folded together). This keeps the patterned side of the flowers showing as you roll up the flowers.<br />3. Trace various sized circles onto the non transfer side of fusible webbing paper in the design you want your necklace.<br />4. Trim that shape down and iron on fabric to what will be the back of the necklace. This will give you a good base to work your fabric flowers onto.<br />5. Start towards the middle of the necklace and and with the biggest <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EVqnewgjbEs/TYOXBAUUM3I/AAAAAAAAAS4/dIHIilnU8XA/s1600/03-18-2011%2B025.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 279px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585474006390420338" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EVqnewgjbEs/TYOXBAUUM3I/AAAAAAAAAS4/dIHIilnU8XA/s400/03-18-2011%2B025.JPG" /></a>flower circles. To start the flowers, tie a knot on the end. Glue the knot to the center of the outlined cirlce. Start to roll and wrap the flowers to the desired size. You can make the flowers as thick or as thin as you'd like. When the flower is to the size you want, trim off the excess fabric and neatly roll, fold and glue the excess down, making a pretty rolled flower. Finish all the flowers but the two that the ribbon are under.<br />6. I attatched ribbon just before my last two flowers because I didn't want to be fighting with the ribbon as I rolled the other flowers. I cut about a yard of ribbon and attatched each end with hot glue to the necklace base in a spot that I thought would look nice. I then finished the last two flowers on top of the ribbon, added beads, bling, buttons, to a few flowers and knots to finish it off and tied the necklace on to my desired length.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XoWD_A8WDi0/TYOXA2uFIYI/AAAAAAAAASw/5pgTm-hqJwk/s1600/03-18-2011%2B015.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 268px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585474003814130050" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XoWD_A8WDi0/TYOXA2uFIYI/AAAAAAAAASw/5pgTm-hqJwk/s400/03-18-2011%2B015.JPG" /></a><br /><br />I'm sorry I didn't take pictures the entire time. I really didn't know if it would turn out. I'm sure I will make another( I really want one with pink in it;) I'll try to take pics next time. If you have any questions, or if you give it a try let me know. I want to see what you come up with. I hope you are having a great Saturday.<br /><div><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711740673849968078.post-26958590070684737832011-03-08T15:07:00.000-08:002011-03-08T15:22:59.116-08:00Proceed with caution...<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pR80A1vWFhU/TXa3Eh6sakI/AAAAAAAAASo/E5uMlz2oR1o/s1600/table%2B001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581850076624218690" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pR80A1vWFhU/TXa3Eh6sakI/AAAAAAAAASo/E5uMlz2oR1o/s400/table%2B001.JPG" /></a><br /><div>I don't know if its Spring fever, but I've got the cleaning bug. So where do I start? At my mess of a kitchen table. Now I love all things scrappy, but this is out of control. I have a perfectly good craft room in our basement, but everything seems to migrate up here where I can watch my kiddos and create at the same time. Does this happen to you? I know that I will be posting a blog similar to this again in the future <strong><span style="font-size:78%;">(maybe very near future knowing me;)</span></strong> but for the time being I am taking back the kitchen table... for food and family gathering! As I look at this pic I can't help but think how sweet my husband is. He doesn't walk in mad about the table being covered with paper and not dinner, but happy that I got to do what makes me happy at some point in our hectic days. Thanks sweetheart:) </div><div> </div><div>A couple of you posted about the flowers on my last album. I am going to try and do a tutorial in the near future. Let me know which ones were your faves and I'll be sure to do those first.

But in all fairness it has taken me that long to finish my latest album. I am so excited about this one... just like I am about every other one I finish! Once again I used a kit from Echo Park. It's one of the latest called <em>Springtime</em>. My husband will cuss me if he reads this, but I am aching for spring, and warmth, and sunshine, and pretty flowers. <span style="font-size:78%;">(He is a die hard skier that hasn't had a powder day yet this year).</span> He is hoping that winter will last a little longer and I am hoping Spring will hurry up and get here.

I made a few new types of flowers that were fun to figure out how to do. Let me know what you think of it. </div><br /><br /><div>I did decide to keep my <em>These are the Moments</em> album. I just couldn't part with it and that is the first time that has ever happened, so that must mean something, I guess. I am trying to find some of my very favorite pics to put in it. I'll have to see if I can find some of the non digital ones that I am thinking of. Cross your fingers for me. I'll show it to you when I am all done. I hope you all are having a great night.

I've almost completely decided to keep the These are the Moments Mini for myself. I have completed yet another mini album, so I feel better about keeping the other. I think this one is so <em>dainty</em>, and <em>springy</em>, and <em>pretty.</em> I was so exited to get it done. It took three days to finish it because every time I tried to work on it my smallest munchkin would get herself into trouble. So adorable, but such a stinker. She has hit that point that she is crawling and climbing everywhere and fast. I say her name and she takes off in the other direction giggling. Priceless!

Crazy I know... but that's me. When I was asked to submit an album to teach for <a href="http://www.quiltwalk.com/">Quilt Walk</a>, I was scared to death. But I got one together anyway. I did a trial run album class for some of the ladies in town and I have never been so scared. The problem with that night was that I was teaching ladies that I really look up to and who I turn to for help. I hated being the one to tell them how to do something. Talk about role reversal. We got the albums pretty well done and the ones that I got to see 100% done turned out way cute. Thanks to those ladies I think it will be a great experience to teach this class at Quilt Walk. So here is the <a href="http://www.quiltwalk.com/6-11-11.htm">album</a> I will be teaching at the Quilt Walk this year. If you are in Panguitch the 2nd weekend in June you should definitely stop by. This is an amazing weekend and tells people a little bit about this small town and the people that settled it. Hope you are having GREAT Friday night!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 270px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216821184192914" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E7nVN0LgjbQ/TV8mKPx3YZI/AAAAAAAAAPo/mzC4IYk0oXw/s400/01-30-11%2B005.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 249px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216812913852626" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gr2mgoPYgP0/TV8mJw-EANI/AAAAAAAAAPg/fpMB2_GQ1nU/s400/01-30-11%2B007.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 234px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216810346492882" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xVVQCkL3-po/TV8mJnZ9M9I/AAAAAAAAAPY/dAlg1fw1a8I/s400/01-30-11%2B008.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216021393112914" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YqjAYOtgKck/TV8lbsUz_1I/AAAAAAAAAPQ/7LTwYt_Uk3A/s400/01-30-11%2B009.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216015958166274" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mnERj4Uo8R8/TV8lbYFBSwI/AAAAAAAAAPI/5dp281Gj1U4/s400/01-30-11%2B010.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216013020415618" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t2X0HGkJaKQ/TV8lbNImxoI/AAAAAAAAAPA/AFJ-srnRv1U/s400/01-30-11%2B011.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 219px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216009159603826" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ejpTdy6DJVw/TV8la-wHdnI/AAAAAAAAAO4/5snBm249o_k/s400/01-30-11%2B012.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 244px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575216004764840306" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-StN9dnI4SJo/TV8lauYUsXI/AAAAAAAAAOw/KZBLkHA_36I/s400/01-30-11%2B013.JPG" /></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711740673849968078.post-82330995370173135802011-02-17T17:44:00.001-08:002011-02-17T17:56:09.902-08:00These are the Moments Mini album<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oUpwerc3h_U/TV3P7fE8tyI/AAAAAAAAAOA/Uk_4BP1hCm4/s1600/02-17-2011%2B076.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 317px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574840534616028962" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oUpwerc3h_U/TV3P7fE8tyI/AAAAAAAAAOA/Uk_4BP1hCm4/s320/02-17-2011%2B076.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zHR9NuoHTXE/TV3P6w8FrSI/AAAAAAAAAN4/bjpFZ1UGPlE/s1600/02-17-2011%2B082.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 185px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574840522230836514" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zHR9NuoHTXE/TV3P6w8FrSI/AAAAAAAAAN4/bjpFZ1UGPlE/s320/02-17-2011%2B082.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c-eLPBouOvE/TV3P6TZ4adI/AAAAAAAAANw/nTGqj9qFKnQ/s1600/02-17-2011%2B078.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 189px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574840514302732754" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c-eLPBouOvE/TV3P6TZ4adI/AAAAAAAAANw/nTGqj9qFKnQ/s320/02-17-2011%2B078.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xvm1qKnv7LA/TV3P6PpKGsI/AAAAAAAAANo/fNhMrlaHI0Q/s1600/02-17-2011%2B067.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 260px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574840513293064898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xvm1qKnv7LA/TV3P6PpKGsI/AAAAAAAAANo/fNhMrlaHI0Q/s320/02-17-2011%2B067.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGOsvqQhZL4/TV3P5aqYlKI/AAAAAAAAANg/0giWwlgCG9c/s1600/02-17-2011%2B065.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 313px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574840499071128738" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LGOsvqQhZL4/TV3P5aqYlKI/AAAAAAAAANg/0giWwlgCG9c/s320/02-17-2011%2B065.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>I fully intended to sell this album.

I get so excited for that part. I'll let you know what I decide to do with it... maybe you'll see it complete with pics by Monday. I'm making myself decide by then whether it's keep or sell. Ahhh!

I'm a "home" body. A crafty person that's happy in her PJ's until she absolutely has to get dressed. Happy to crawl around with my kiddos on the floor playing with puzzles, toys, and books. I'm even happier when my kids come over to the kitchen table <span style="font-size:78%;">(that is always covered in my latest project) </span><span style="font-size:100%;">asking for my scraps, glue, and my cuttlebug to make their masterpieces</span><span style="font-size:78%;">(that to my husband's dismay I can hardly ever throw away;). </span><span style="font-size:100%;">That being said I use to love to GO and DO all the time.

Days are filled with school, preschool, dance classes, scouts, church, wrestling.... and no one is more suprised than I how easily I have fallen into this craziness called motherhood. Never did I think that I would rather be home cuddling my children and jumping on the trampoline with them than shopping or pursuing the career of my dreams. Its funny how we don't always realize that our dreams and the things that will make us the happiest in life are two very different things that can inevitably take you on two very different paths. Neither is a bad path, but the unexpected one that you never saw coming is the one that your heart is chasing. The other path gets put on hold, or maybe just doesn't seem as important now that you have let yourself wander down this amazing detour. Whoever knew how many twists, turns, and bumps you would hit on this detour. Who knew that even though it wasn't what you planned on, that it would make your <em>heart</em> full and your feet feel like you were <em>floating</em> a little? I didn't. I've decided that this wasn't the detour, but the path that was just a little hidden that I had to find. If I hadn't followed it I would have missed out on so much. Thanks for the push in the right direction Mom. <span style="font-size:78%;">It turns out parents do know what they are talking about</span>. Any how, I am grateful for where I am on my "path" today. I'm grateful for my sweet, funny, and oh so energetic kiddos. I am grateful for my sweetheart that still makes my heart skip a beat. And I am so grateful for this beautiful place I get to call home. Hope you all are having a great day, wherever you are on your path.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711740673849968078.post-77710606063515565462011-02-07T13:19:00.000-08:002011-02-08T07:39:43.308-08:00Winter FUN!!!!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TVB-R_2vP6I/AAAAAAAAALo/1bGAq4Cbawc/s1600/02-06-2011%2B012.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 314px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571091586721202082" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TVB-R_2vP6I/AAAAAAAAALo/1bGAq4Cbawc/s320/02-06-2011%2B012.JPG" /></a>We had a fun relaxing weekend at home.

I was working on another project when I saw that sticker <em>A Little Dirt Never Hurt.</em> I immediately remembered these pics. I turned to our computer, pulled up the file, found the ones I was thinking of, and printed them. I LOVE technology sometimes. I also love this paper from Echo Park. They do the best kit that has a bunch of paper and stickers, so its pretty easy to sit down and make a layout. And of course its fun to add your own little things like a green tag cut from my cricut and doodles in the clouds with a white pen and of course little bits of bling. Anyway... so excited to finally scrap these!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TTdl2RcusHI/AAAAAAAAAKM/dDrjw2yT04M/s1600/01-19-2011%2B003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 354px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564027847710781554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TTdl2RcusHI/AAAAAAAAAKM/dDrjw2yT04M/s400/01-19-2011%2B003.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TTdlWjUgGgI/AAAAAAAAAKE/hSLMzyY8vik/s1600/01-19-2011%2B002.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 398px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564027302752295426" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TTdlWjUgGgI/AAAAAAAAAKE/hSLMzyY8vik/s400/01-19-2011%2B002.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Lovin' the pullout tag picture, border punches and my cuttle bug for all those extras!</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Thanks for looking.

<div>I'm so excited! I finished my <em>Love You</em> Paper Bag Album I made for Valentine's Day. I had so much fun making it. Creating is the best outlet in the world for me. If you'd like to see more photos, you can see the rest on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160532110521&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT">ebay</a> where I have it for sale. I'll keep it short tonight because I'm trying to get things ready to go skiing after the kiddos get out of school tomorrow. It's great to go skiing, but getting ready to take three small kids and two oversized kids<span style="font-size: 78%;">(Trev and I;)</span> takes a bit of prep. Hope you all have a great night! <br />

Arghh... they just grow up so <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TSzZCHBO40I/AAAAAAAAAJs/6sGeT6lvzUY/s1600/1-10-2011%2B030.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561058270162903874" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nXz7xLTKEiw/TSzZCHBO40I/AAAAAAAAAJs/6sGeT6lvzUY/s320/1-10-2011%2B030.JPG" /></a>fast! I can't wait to get today's adventures scrapped. It was so sweet to see her and Daddy riding the lift and how excited she was to go. I hope she always wants to hang out with us. I just love the picture on the right of them on the lift. Curly's little ski's stick straight up and Trev's just dangle! I'll share my scrap pages when they are done:) Just had to share our fun day!</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
