Happy New Year!

It feels like FOREVER since I posted something! I thought things were supposed to calm down after the Holidays?? Well, I still have yet to find time to unwind! UGH!! Not to help the matter, I have to work the next 7 days straight! Calgon, take me away!!!!!!! LMAO!
I think my last post was before Mia's Bday party. Her party went very well, one girl couldn't come because the stomach bug was going around and the poor thing caught it. One girl didn't show, but 2 did and they had a GREAT time! I kinda liked that there were only a few, the girls were able to play together.



So I have been doing a lot of thinking, and have wanted for a long time to do something else (Creativly) besides Digi scrapping. Don't get me wrong, that will always be my first love, but I have not been in the mood lately, and have wanted to do something more hands on. Sooo.... I am hoping this time next year I will have a shop on Etsy open.

The girls had a great time on Christmas, and Mia had a good Birthday with the family. Glad it only comes once a year! Ugh! And We have to do it all over again in a few weeks for Ella's B-day!



Hope to post more soon when I have more time!

Here is a layout I forgot to post:

CRAZY!!!

It's been a while since I posted, but I don't think it's possible for life to get ANY crazier! I have a ton of pics to post!
Yesterday I made the girls teachers Christmas gifts and FORTY FOUR cookies for the girls parties today! Ella's party turned out sooo cute and all the kids had a great time. I'm exhausted and it's only 12:30!!!!!! No rest for a while because tomorrow morning at 11:30 is Mia's B-day party at Chuck E. Cheese! Ugh! I need a vacation!

Here are the snowman peeps cookies I made:


I made 2 cute baskets full of goodies for the girls teachers. A Trget gift card and "Best teacher" ornament were tucked inside. They turned out so cute I didn't want to give them up, lol!



Ella's preschool party today:




I loved how these pics turned out! She is such a ham! I have to get some of Mia now. She is on winter break the next 2 weeks (Ugh! 2 whole weeks???) LOL!



Thank goodness I am done wrapping presents! It took me 3 1/2 hours monday night, and I still have to wrap all of Mia's for friday! If i have time tomorrow, I will post pics of Mia's party! Wish me luck,lol!

Snowman Swap!!

I got my box from the Snowman and Snowflake swap I was in!!!! I was sooo excited! She did such a great job and she made me the CUTEST scrapbook! YIPEEE!

Christmas tree

I started my own swap (Shabby and Pink) on Swap-bot (I LOVE that site!) If you would like to join, here is the link : http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/26486

We got our tree this weekend, and it is sooo cute! I wanted something a little smaller, and as a result, I couldn't put all our ornaments on it this year, but it still looks great!


I took this pic of our jingle bell wreath on our front door. I just LOVE the colors!


I wanted to share my Flickr pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48204834@N00
Have a great day

Gingerbread

I had such a good time today! I went to Mia's school and helped make gingerbread. Now I have heard of this, but never actually SEEN it, but Mia's face LIT UP when she saw me. She had a grin from ear to ear and was so PROUD that her mommy was there to help. It almost made me cry! I LOVE being a mom!
So I found these ADORABLE ribbon candies at Hobby Lobby the other day, and now I am hooked! My goal this weekend is to find more. I don't plan on eating them, just displaying them around the house. We are getting our tree this weekend, and can't wait to start taking pictures!


As I said yesterday, I wanted to share pics of the ornaments I have recieved so far from the swap I am in:








Have a great weekend!

It's been a while...

I know it's been a while, but you know, life gets in the way, lol. The girls and I drove 5 hours to my mom's house the day after Thanksgiving and spent the weekend. I was good to see family and friends, and the girls had such a good time celebrating their B-days and Christmas with my mom since she usually misses it. last Sat. the girls and my Grandmother went into the back yard (for some reason there were still apples on the trees) and they picked the apples and made apple pie from scratch! It was soooo cute! I am so glad the girls have that memory and I have great pics to remeber it!
I finished a couple layouts and tomorrow will post some pics of the ornaments I have recieved from the Ornament swap I am in. Ok, off to work, will be back tomorrow!
