Cutest Baby In The World

Well, I didn't get to finish all the challenges on blogspot...but I tried! There are some great creations there...you should check them out at www.caardvarks.blogspot.com.

I was in Cincinnati over the weekend for a PTA conference. If you aren't involoved, you should be! (Partly the reason I didn't finish all the challenges!)

I came home to a one-year old nephew. Isn't he the cutest! I love this little program called Smilebox. Here is a fast little scrapbook I made of him! Thansk for looking!

I have been trying to do all of the challenges posted on http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/ . They have been so much fun and interesting. Today's challenge was to make a card with 4 squares, I kind of went overboard and made 7!

Try out the challenges..you will love them!

A Kid In A Candy Store

That was me last night at my house! My order from the Stampin' Up! Winter Mini Came...needless to say, we ate dinner at 7:00..boy my kids were not happy!

I LOVE this new mini catalog! There is something there for everyone. I am trying to hold off on ordering so much, gotta save up for Sell-A-Bration! I was very good and only ordered 1 set, but it is SOOOOO cute and just my style. It has the cutest little square stamp that says "I heart..." and then you can fill in the blanks. I am seeing some cute Valentines toppers in my future!

I used a challenge from Splitcoaststampers for the idea from my card that you can see here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199303 . I used Certainly Celery, Taken With Teal & Regal Rose...one of my FAVORITE color combos!

Thansk for looking and have a great weekend!

OK...I admit, I am really NOT good at remembering to do things! Blogging just must be one of them! I will try hearder to keep this updated for here on out!

My favorite time of year is Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love the smells (yumm....pumpkin pie!), the sights and the sounds! I love making homemade things for my family and friends as gifts. This year, I am going to make everyone "welcome" signs and a box of little Christmas note cards.

My family is about as crazy over Christmas as I am, so I am sure they will enjoy their gifts!

I am off to the mountains for a girls family weekend this weekend, I hope to get a little Christmas shopping done, for the harder to buy for people...namely, my KIDS! Ackkk...they all want $200 gifts! Maybe I will just take them to the beach for a week!! See you soon!

Here I am!

I thought it would be nice to have a picture of myself on here so you can see me!

I really forgot I had a blog! So very sorry!

My husband and I have been really busy this week. We added new cabinets and painted our old 70's basement! We still have some work to do on it, trim painting, CLEANING (ackk), and organizing my space.

I was at a Parent Leadership conference all weekend. You can find more about it here www.cipl.org It was such a great experience being around people who truly care about kids and public education.

I have been working on things for a craft fair in November. I will show some pictures next time! Have a great week!

Convention!

I am heading to convention baby! Monday morning at 5:00 am I will be at the airport! I am so excited, I can not wait to learn and see new things!

I have yet to pack, yet to finish my swaps and I am having open house tomorrow!!!! What was I thinking? I guess it will be a long night tonight!

Salt Lake City...here I come!
