My surprise!!

I had gone away for the night with a girlfriend. Had the best time ever! So refreashing! I can home to a spotless house, a welcome home sign, and this. My husband and 3 boys made a trip to Ikea and fixed up the closet I scrapbook in! He hung the fabric got matching rugs. New chair and desk. Even a wood block to go on my desk for when i need to hammer. Another bookcase, and several new containers. An Owl picture, because I love owls. All this in just a 24 hour period. Best surprise ever. I cried and cried. Then my husband even made dinner and cleaned up after. Told me to just relax.

Had a moment

Whats New?

Sick, Sick and more sick! When will we not be sick?! I haven't had much time or energy to do much. Except for trips to the doctor. With Super Bowl Sunday coming, I'm hoping to get more scrap pages done.

My birthday Gift

My oldest drew this for me for my birthday. I love it!

My birthday was spent on the couch with a horrible sinus infection:( Along with a child was sick. Not really sick, he seems to be developing a alergic reation to something. Which is really scary. Being that we have no idea what the issue is. He keeps breaking out into hives. So no shell fish, nut or chocolate till we see an allergist.

snow, snow, more snow

We have snow! Finally after months of nothing. Just in time for my birthday! I love the snow.
Hoping to use this weekend to get a few pages punched out!

2012 Not a Resolution

I'm not going to call this a resolution. Like many people come this time a year, I've been looking back at the year. Thinking of all I wish I had done or accomplished. Not as much as I hoped for.
So not resolutions.... just things I would like to try to accomplish. LOL:)

1. get back to scrap booking. I'm 2 years behind. Want to be caught up by summer.
2. read at least 2 books a month
3. plan family meals and make 3 new recipies a month
4. family game night... actually do it every week!
5. Lose that last 10 pounds by June. ( I'm down 1.5 lbs already:)

I'll be adding to the list I'm sure as the year goes by.

Cards, Cards and More Cards

So happy to be making things again. I made all these over a weeks time. I'm also making progress on my giant stacks of 2 years worth of photos. My goal is to be caught up on my albums by Christmas. We'll see how that goes. My giant stacks have over a thousand photos. No lie:) Hopefully I'll be able to use my Cricut Expressions more. My wonderful husband gave to me for Christmas, I've only used it a few times. All to help the kids with school projects. They turned out beautiful. However, I want to use it for me!
I love this card. The stamp is from Verve.

Stamp is Greeting Farm

Greeting Farm stamp

Another Greeting Farm stamp. The waves are part of a boarder that came in a paper set. I've had my paper sooo long I'm not even sure where I got it. LOL:) I used 3d dots to make the waves pop.

A Stamping Bella Stamp.

This is one of my new favorite stamps from Greeting Farm. I'm all about cupcakes. I even wear my hair the same way as her:)

Another Verve stamp.
