Fun Challenge

>> Tuesday, January 27, 2009 – Family

Okay...so I was challenged by Amy to do this super fun game! You go into your photo files, find your 6th file, and the 6th pic in the file...and blog about it. So here goes.

This is baby Ryan...September 2003. He was 6 months old and such a little joy. This is is first ever bedroom--we were still in Burlington. I loved this room. He was almost ready to sit up and loved using the Boppy for sitting and propping, like he is here. I love this photo because he just looks so deep in thought! Memories....

I'm choosing to challenge:
Annie
Becca
Leila
Shawna
Tracy

Scrappy News and Sweet Shoppe Saturday

>> Friday, January 23, 2009 – CT, Layouts

I've had a pretty good scrappy week!

I was super excited to get an email from Bella Scraps Magazine letting me know that one of my layouts has been published in their Jan. 09 issue.

It's actually one of my favorite layouts ever...so I'm thrilled that it was chosen for publication. :)

I also have some exciting CT news! I've been fortunate enough to join two fantastic CTs...ScrapKitchen Designs and Heather Roselli.

You can find both of their designs at Sweet Shoppe Designs. They're both just amazing and I'm so honored to be creating for them! You can find their blogs over in my blog list. Be sure to check them out! :)

Sweet Shoppe Saturday!!! My designers put out some great stuff this week!

Check out this gorgeous kit from Heather and my LO with it...

I adore this kit by Christy!!! It's just perfection.

Traci put out some super cool stuff, too. Matching kits for boy and girl...they're awesome!

Darcy has a new alpha set and font pack and Bree has a new Launchpad set, too!

Snow Day!!!

>> Wednesday, January 21, 2009 – CT, Family, Layouts

SNOW!!! Yay! Finally we got a little snow. On Monday night, it started snowing. It was gorgeous! We even got Ry out of bed to show him how quickly everything was turning white. He was amazed. Caroline had to wait until morning to see, but both kids loved it and couldn't wait to get outside. We headed out before 9 am and played and played! It was a wonderful day! :)

Warming up beside the fire under the deck...it was cold!!!

I'm guesting for Eva this month and she has 2 amazing releases, as well. First is this great 2 Scoops with Julie Billingsley called Fantabulous You. As soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a great Ryan LO.

Eva's other release is a solo kit that is just gorgeous. It's called At First Sight and it's beautiful.

Over on the SSD blog, there's another FOB2Y up. This one's fun!!! Here are my results...

You Are a Discount Shopper

You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales.

It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal.

Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently but rarely by. You keep an eye on prices.

Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Here are some recent layouts from me. You can find my full gallery and all credits HERE.
