Whimsically White: Special Order for Lisa M.

$12.00
For some reason I have a bit of a hard time photographing white bands with my darker hair. They always want to wash out...that said...I LOVE this band! I can't wait to see how it looks on Ms. Lisa!! I hope she adores it too and that it finds a happy place on her head! Have a great day.

Up to fun.

Tessa and I had a day hangin' at the mall...yeah, she's only 7...and she loves the mall...wanna know why?!?!? So did I, so I asked her and she told me that she likes going to the mall because, "there's a candy store in it and a pet store where you can see kitties." Awesome, I love it.
Here's Aaron's Kindergarten artwork of his body parts. I love that he's so colorful on his arm and look at that cute finger.
Oh my goodness? Could I love this munchkin anymore. Dear Jenny took Jonah to the library and he created this beautiful leaf art.
Had to add Jakob in there participating in his favorite past time. EATING...ME...OUT...OF...HOUSE...AND...HOME!
The kid just won't stop growing. At 9 years old he is close to 5' 5"...one more inch and he's as tall a me!!!!

When Tessa was a Princess

When we went to Disney last time we splurged and Tessa got to go to Libby Lu's. She wanted to be a princess so badly. There were probably a million bobbie pins in her hair and that crown is real metal and heavy but she loved every minute! So worth it for the memories it gave us. Have a great day.

Am I Enough?

This photo of me has been kicking around for some time and I thought I might do a reflective layout with it. It was very therapeautic.
Journaling reads:
am i enough,
can I be enough...for the...for my children, for my husband, for my church family, for my friends and my neighbors? Do I pray enough, serve enough? Am I patient enough? Do I do enough to help others? Am I good enough to stand in His presence if He were to return now? I don't know if I am...but I want to be.

The sun spot is actually on the original photo but for some reason was even more enhanced in this photo.
Have a great day and don't forget to give thanks!

Pom Pom Pink

Had fun trying a new technique with the felt. I have another one up my sleave too that I'm itching to try. This one was sure bright and perky and reminds me of a cheerleader in some ways. hahaha.

Another special order of dark pink and HOT PINK! Wowza!

So very vanilla

Vanilla is said to be bland...blah...boring...BUT NOT THIS HAIR BAND BABY! She's va-va-va-voom! Really priceless in the vintage, girly flavor you get here. I have one more of these...on special order...not a band though...just the piece to attach to a barrett because the woman who ordered it wears glasses. How smart is that?!?!?? Have a great day.

Teeny Baby Photo Shoot

This little girl seems so small to me...all of my babes were over 8 lbs. It was fun to get out there and shoot some photos again.
I'm not sure on which one to use as an announcement...Ultimately it's not up to me but they're all so cute!So stinkin' sweet. She was only asleep for like five minutes so I was happy to get this shot.

She just looks like HEY, whatcha lookin' at. Have a great day!

Just a little reminder...

it can be clean again. I have BIG plans for you MR! Just you wait and see this flunk of a cabinet is going to transform into a hunk!
That table skirt is about done for...I need something that's more ME...less what was in the fabric stash.

Whenever I create ANYTHING my space turns into a disaster zone. I'm slowly but surely getting back to this. But I've been so happy scrappin' and making hair bands I can't complain too much. Watched General Conference today and feel so uplifted. Hope you're all doing well. Have a great evening.
Time to purge some stamp sets...Ebay here I come.

Going Gray

One of the special orders I had was for a gray and black band...I've really been wanting to do an all black one but now I'm stoked to make a gray and black one for myself. SO DELICIOIUS!. Let me tell you how this warms me up inside...that gray is so yummy. My daughter tried to steal it. I hope Mrs. NY#1 loves it too! Thanks for stopping by for a little eye candy and have a great day!

PS I'm thinking of creating a blog just for my bands so they're all on there together.

Sate Fair so last year


Finally completed a layout on the our State Fair visit last year. It was definitely more low key than this year...I only had two kiddos to deal with, well, and a friend of Aarons...EASY! Funny that we all had coordinating clothes on...even Aaron's friend... I didn't plan that. The big "square" at the top left is actually a cut out I made of the state of NM. Nice to live in a polygon state! Have a great day!

Sandy Beaches

This picture was taken in 2008 when we went to the beach with our family. This is Jakob and Luke looking for Sand Crabs...they're these nasty looking beachy pill bug things. I'm sure they have a real name???? The kids love them...me...not so much.
Have a great day.

Together...where I want to be

most of the time that is. Sometimes I just want to get away from it all, but they're so darn cute and handsome that it makes me so happy to be a part of this family. I'm really trying to be a better mom and wife, because I know if I do, that will make them better people too. Have a great day!

Coming Home

When Jonah was born he was diagnosed with Transient Tachypnea of a Newborn. His lungs were still wet and his respiratory rate was off the charts. We had to stay an extra day but soon he was the picture of health. They bathed him, brought him to me, I dressed him and buckled him securely into his car seat. He was coming home and I couldn't have been happier.

Jonah's first ouchie...

You know when you're watching your child and then in slow motion (it seems) they begin to fall and there's absolutely nothing you can do...you're to far away...to slow and then the aftermath of bloody noses and skin scrapes is just so sad and a testament to the world that you're a bad mom...well that's how I feel anyways. I wanted to document just such a story. Used some old bandaid stickers and enjoyed it. Have a great day.

3.2.ONE...blast off.

Jonah turns TWO today so it's only fitting that I finally finished the layout of his first birthday! Honestly, I'm so behind on scrapping but I still love it I don't think I'll ever just give up...it's too much fun. The poor boy has strep throat and he's been really whiny but I'm going to make him cupcakes and visit with some friends this afternoon. I'm sure he'll like that. He really has completed our family. I love the way the other children interact with him and try to include them in their activities. He makes us so happy...I just can't believe he's already TWO!!!!

Midweek Mojo #1

So I'm playing catchup. I really want to be better at scrapbooking. I love it. I love capturing the memories. This little moment in time where Travis just adored his brand new baby boy...it's precious and so is that dang beard of his, NOT. He actually went home right after this and shaved it...just waiting 'til the boy was born I guess. Have a great day!

Vintage Pearls and Daisies

Wow, this one is a stunner. I love the way it came out all lacey and creamy. I think I'll make another for me. Have a great day!
