Finally some crafting...

Getting a little craftier these days!

These were for my friend.  Her son graduated from high school!

Then I started on Reed's 1st Birthday Invitations! 

I can't believe he is already going to be 1!  I forgot to add the date and time.  Oops!  Hope this will get me out of my slump.  I am working on Gramm's right now!

Until next time...

Another "Home" Vacation gone...

Both Drew and I were off the last week and I got NOTHING accomplished!!  Drew spent everyday working at his mom's which was planned, but I was hoping to do stuff while he was gone.

I did manage to try 2 new recipes from Pinterest!!  I have the 2nd one in the crockpot now!

I need to make a baby gift for my cousin and really should start organizing my thoughts for a nice craft project.

I also need to start working on teacher gifts for the nephews!  They will be here in a couple of weeks and want to send them back with them to save on shipping!

Until next time...

Getting Ready for May...

Well I didn't get any Pinterest projects done on my last vacation.  I have 9 days off this time and not sure how many I will get done this time. 

May is going to be so busy.  I need to help my neighbor with graduation announcements, my nephew Reed will be baptized, I need to finish my nephew's teacher gifts! 

Danica is doing well.  She is adjusting and Daisy LOVES having a new sister!!!

10 Days 10 Projects!!

Like many, I have become addicted to Pinterest.  I spend way too much time on there and have only done 2 recipes since beginning.  Now I have 10 days off and have high expectations!  Tomorrow I am heading to CKC with my friend Michele and I hope to do some of the layouts that I have pinned!!  I also need to get Reed's Baptism invites in the mail.  Those will be addressed and ready to go out on Monday!!

When I return from CKC I hope to do some of the recipes, organization projects, and home decor pins.  I think Drew is skeptical of the cooking!  I told him I want to eat at the table every day next week!

Oh and another exciting thing for next week is we are bringing home our new pup.  Danica "Dani" will be a little over 10 weeks, but will finally be home!  She is a beagle, pug, lab, basset mix!  She will be joining our beagle/basset Daisy!

 

First time using Photoshop Elements 10

These pics were sent to me this evening!

I love this pic.  This was on his way here in October

A New Year!!

I am so glad 2011 is over.  It was one of the worst and best years of my life.  Our family grew with the addition of nephew #3.  Reed was born in August.  Then in November we lost the patriarch of our family.  Grandpa passed away a couple days after his 92nd birthday.

In December we celebrated mama's 60th birthday at the "Happiest Place on Earth".  Drew and I really enjoyed the road trip!

I am going to really try hard to come here more often.  Today I was playing with some digi scrapping and I am hoping to get my mojo back!  I am really missing scrapping and crafting!!!

Hope to see you soon!
