I'm A Dream Girl!

Last night I got some great news!  I've been accepted to another Creative Team.  I've wanted to be on this particular team since I first found out there was such a thing as a "Creative Team."  I love this designer's work!  Her papers are amazing, as are her brushes and other elements.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!  Can you tell I'm a bit excited?  Hehe...like a kid at Christmas!  I was so excited I had to do a layout or two right away!  So here we go...my first two layouts for Michelle Coleman of Little Dreamer Designs.

Created using "Vintage Spring" by Michelle Coleman

Created using "Timeless" by Michelle Coleman

Both kits are available at www.littledreamerdesigns.com

On A Roll

I'm on a roll people!  Scrapin' is happnin'!  I've completed two more layouts for my creative team.  This time I had the chance to work with a lovely kit from heavenDreams.  It's called "Summer Breath," and it really does have a wonderful summery feel to it.  I also loved it because it's something out of the pink box I've been working in lately.  I took that as a sign that I needed to do some boy layouts with it!  Here's a couple of Cody from May of 2010...

The kit is in the Scrap Wishes store!  Check it out!  Here's the link:

On a Creative Team!

In other news...I've been selected by www.scrap-wishes.com to be a part of their store Creative Team!!!   I'll be creating layouts for them using products by their wonderful designers.  I'm so excited and honored to be a part of their amazing team!!  I'm looking forward to all the products I'll get to showcase here as well.  I completed my first two layouts this week using V-Design's beautiful, "Colors of Autumn" kit.  It's available here at the scrap-wishes store:

Way Back Wednesday-02

Time again for another look back.  Here's some layouts I've done this past week using photos and memories from at least two years ago.  Enjoy!

  

The Last Two Years

Yesterday my baby boy turned two.  Where has the time gone?  Being my last little miracle, I had high ideals as to what kind of baby he was going to be and how our early years would go.  Things would be simple.  Number three, I had it down!  Not so, I quickly discovered after he arrived.  But even with all that we've been through in the last two years, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

                                                                             
Joshua, my sweet little boy, you are a blessing.  I love your sense of humor, and the way you crack yourself and all of us up.  Your laugh is contagious.  Your facial expressions are priceless, and something I'm always trying to capture on film.  Your blue eyes light up when you're getting into trouble, which you do often.  You are truly a two year old!  Your little voice and your quips keep all of us smiling.  You are dearly loved my little man.  Always know that.  Love, Mommy

Is It Bedtime Yet?

Ever have days when you just want to pull out your hair and scream?!?  I'm having one of those days.  Every time I turn around my youngest (2) is into something he's not supposed to be into...My middle (5) is crying about something...and my oldest (7) is tattling or whining.  Days like today make me outrageously glad when bedtime comes!  Big sigh.  But then I remember the sweet smiles, hugs and kisses I've been blessed with today, and it makes it a bit easier to rejoice...although I'm still looking forward to bedtime. :)

Way Back Wednesday-01

While backing up my photos and albums today,  I came across these.  Hard to believe how much my kiddos have grown, and how many album pages I already have to catch up on!  In an effort to do just that, I'd like to make Wednesday my day for posting layouts using photos from at least 2 years ago.  I can't say that it will happen every Wednesday, but at least I'll have the goal to strive for!  So without further adieu, my first "Way Back Wednesday" layouts...

I Remember::

The smell of violets and lilacs blooming:: The feel of cool grass under bare feet:: The color of warm sun on cheery daffodils:: The sight of dewdrops sparkling in the morning light:: I remember:: Spring

Progress Has Been Made...

Even though it hasn't shown on blogland.  Yes, it's true.  I have made progress in the last...oh...only month and a half since I posted last.  It seems that I have a terrible time posting without having pictures to back everything up.  The truth of the matter is I'm a perfectionist...a recovering perfectionist, but a perfectionist nevertheless.  I take pictures of what I've been doing, but then they don't end up on my computer for ages.  Who wants to read a post without any pictures.  Not me.  And who's the one reading this.  ME.  There's my problem.
The reality is, that I have made some progress though.  That's what I need to be focusing on.  The beds in the kid's rooms have been switched.  I not only decided how to do #3's quilt, but have it mostly done.  I have decided to give #1 the room he dreams of...Star Wars...tastefully done, of course ;) and have begun work on that.  He doesn't know it, but that's going to be a Birthday present.  I have the bunk bed quilts purchased.  I have made Star Wars pillow cases and now just need to decide on paint color, order artwork from www.etsy.com  and make pillows like these http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/star-wars-decorative-shams/.  I think it will come together nicely by April 20th :)
Pictures will be posted...someday...when they make their way on to my computer...and I'm OK with that.
