I just can't help but feel lighthearted when I see this face.
We had a great Christmas! The first that Jonah actually opened presents.
Travis enjoyed opening presents in his new In-N-Out shirt.
Jonah couldn't get enough banana crackers (stocking stuffer). 
Tessa got a handmade coat and hat from Gramy. I got a handmade wooden utensil holder from Grampy. Jakob got a handmade wooden top from Grampy this year. So cool. I need pics of those, I only have video. Have a great day!
I had fun making these little trinkets for my coworkers. The best part about them is how the display cards came out. I love how it perfectly frames each pair of earrings. Kraft cardstock, stamp from Technique Tuesday and Basic Black ink. I love giving something personal like this even though it takes a little more time. Have a great day. 
Last night while eating a rolled taco...Tessa lost yet ANOTHER tooth. That other front one is sure to go soon too. She cracks me up when she talks and smiles. I love my baby girl. Have a great day. 
Isn't he a cutie? I had fun coloring him with my prismas. We just got back from a four day trip to California. I'm exhausted and happy to be back but also glad that we could be there for Troy and Kelly's wedding.
They're awesome.
A Christmas Card for a dear friend. I used my wood grain background stamp behind the tree. The tree diecut is from Quick Cutz. I've had that snow paper for AGES! I just embossed it with a cb folder. I add ice glitter to the tree and whalah, beauty. I hope you like it Dawn.
In the car...waiting for Daddy to come out of Harbor Freight. That tooth has been SO ready to come out for SO long. I told her to pull on it a little and then it was all wonky. She didn't like that one bit...so I grabbed a tissue and pulled downward. Whalah!
Happy girl...the tooth fairy is coming tonight! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Take care!
I made this little guy quite quickly and I LOVE him. I'll be doing variations of these for some of those nearest and dearest to me for the holidays. I love how perfectly the travel tissue pack fits inside and how chic it is! Have a great day.
This was a quick and cute one. I love this tree die by Quickcutz. I hope you all are having a great day. I have three kiddos with strep, but they all seem to be doing so much better today. It's amazing what antibiotics will do in such a short time. Take care.
Before my mom moved to Pennsylvania a month ago I made sure to get a picture of her with each of my children. This is the first lo in my "Grandma series". I'm going to do a similar lo for each of the picture and have my mom tell me one thing she loves about each child. I miss my mama. She's too far away now and I'm not sure when we'll be able to travel across country to see her. I pray that it's sooner rather than later. Have a great day!
I just wanted to share that I am so thankful for the country that we live in. It is an amazing place. I'm grateful to all those who serve in the military and who have served before. It is truly a great sacrifice. My grandfather served in WWII and the horrors he witnessed were unbelievable. I just wish he was still here so I could tell him the service he gave to this country makes me glad to be his granddaughter.
So I've got this shirt and I like the way it looks on me only problem is I STAINED it! Can you believe it? Me, stain a white shirt! What are the odds. I've exhausted the remedies of stainlifting so I chose a new direction...applique!!!!
OFFENDING STAIN 
New and Improved shirt with applique!
Close up. Isn't it cute? I'm so happy I can wear my T again. Have a great day.
Daily Dose of Jillian gets your motor runnin'. I kept trying to post the video but it won't upload. 
Shhhh, Frank. That lipstick is horrible. No, WAIT, it's Michael Jackson come back to haunt us in the form of a cake.
Poor Kitty got half run over.
What my eyes look like when Jonah stays up all night.
Ummmmm, Paris should sue her make up artist.
Do skeletons even HAVE brains? Come ON! 
Thanks to my dear friend Jenny I learned to make these lovelies today! Just experimenting, but this was really enjoyable and I hope to make more in the future.The tiny blue/green ones are for Tessa. I really think I'm going to switch up the turquoise coral ones. They're not sitting right with me (although Jenn likes them). Hope you're all having a great day!
Jakob is enjoying third grade except for the increased work load! Holy schmoly with the spelling words. He needs to learn 30 a week being in the upper level reading so he's challenged! Well let me tell you, I'm the one who's being challenged trying to get him to study them all the time! Have a great day.
