Much to catch up on!

Harlie and I had a GREAT Easter!!! My folks came to visit and the five of us were all together for the first time in a year and a half! I was so busy enjoying my family I have neglected my blog. I will be caught up by the end of the weekend (hopefully!)

I am so excited to be published in this month's issue of Scrap Street Magazine! Look for Harlie under the Flower Power article!

My best friend Jill has requested some more layouts of her boys. So, here is Tommy using SimplySusan's awesome kit Number the Stars. Visit her store to pick up this cute kit!

Picking Clovers

Can you beleive that it is 9:45am and Harlie is still snoring! Bless her little heart; she has not napped in 3 days!

Here is a layout of Harlie on St. Patrick’s Day 2009. Journaling reads, “We spent St. Patrick’s Day at the park and I brought along the camera to take pictures of you in your little green shirt Nana bought for you. And ironically enough you found a little patch of green clovers to sit in!” I made this layout with Susan's awesome kit "Lil Irish Dudes". Snag it here.

Harlie and I will be doing our best to avoid the rain this week! We'll see what we come up with!

Monsters & Ballerinas!

Well, Harlie did not make it down the isle last night at her Auntie Tayler's wedding! Good thing Tayler had 2 little flower girls because Madison did make it down! But, nevertheless Harlie did look super-duper cute all dressed up! She was telling everyone she looked like a ballerina! You know I have pics that will end up in layouts!

These two layouts were created using Stacey's new kit "My Pet Monster". She has a boy and a girl version of this kit available and they are soooo cute! Both of these layouts are available at ScrapThatIdea.com

Busy Bee!

I have been such a busy bee lately that it seems I don't even have time to think! There is not much new, just play dates, church, and scrap when I can! So, the usual. Tomorrow Robby and I are off to the Rodeo and Saturday night Harlie is going to be the flower girl in her auntie TayTay's wedding. So hopefully I will have exciting stories to share! Here are my most recent two layouts.

The first layout is for an album that I am just starting to put together. It is a never-ending album. I am going to put a picture of Harlie on each of her Birthdays with her current favorites and what not. Each page will be in the theme of her birthday party. So, I have started with 2 years and I will have to go backwards before I can go forward! Hehehe!

Age Book 2


An my second layout is a recent picture of Chris and I. I used Simply Susan's Pocket Full of Posies kit. This kit so fun and cheery. You can get Susan's kit here.

Fashionably Late!

Well, I must say it would probably be very typical for a princess to show up fashionably late! And I'll go ahead and admit that I am a day or two late getting this layout up on my blog! Good thing this layout was created using Stacey's Princess of Pop kit, otherwise I would not be able to use the fashionably late excuse! You can get Stacey's awesome kit over at ScrapThatIdea.com

I believe because of all my exciting news in the past week or so I have slumped into an artistic block. I have taken a few days off, tried to gather some inspiration, but, I am still not feeling very creative! I am really ready to get these juices flowing again!!!

Bible Study, Bible Study!

I have just started a 10 week Bible Study on the book of estrogen, I mean Esther! This Bible Study falls on Tuesday night, so I have back to back Bible Studies; Tuesday and Wednesday night! So, needless to say I have been BUSY! I did manage to put together one layout for BWScrapbooking. I used Jeff's kit Pink Princess as well as his really cute Date Strips.

A Bit Of Heaven

The poem is kinda hard to read small, so here it is:
A wee bit of heaven
drifted down from above -
A handful of
happiness,
a heartful of love.
The mystery of life,
so sacred and sweet -
The giver of joy
so deep and complete.
Precious and
priceless,
so lovable, too -
The world's sweetest miracle,
baby, is you.

By Helen Steiner Rice

The rest of the day was busy too! Harlie and I took the Trolley over to the mall with some friends from our mom's group. We all ate lunch together and took a spin on the carousel. Kinda odd that Harlie wanted to ride a horse and not her usual; the bear! She also had a blast playing with her new doggie bubble blower machine! Thanks Domonique for her awesome gift!
