Good Morning!

Its been a while since ive blogged...just been so busy with life. Takin a break tonight though...Im going to Cherie's later to crop...ill probably work on my Christmas cards. Yeah...still havnt gotten them done yet...like i said just been sooo busy. William is 6mo already....just cant believe it. The time is flyin by these days! Oh which reminds me i still need to take his 6mo pics. Ok well i need to start getting my stuff ready...im gonna spend the whole day there! Will update soon. ♥gen

A New Day...

Im finally at that point where i just cant take it being fat anymore! I broke down in tears last night when i wouldn't let my husband even touch me...i felt gross, ashamed, uncomfortable in my own skin. Ive been wanting to loose weight for 5 years, but the problem is im lazy and have trouble making myself stick to a diet and exercise routine. But today is a new day! Im determined to loose the the weight and finally start feeling confident again!

On another note, i got a couple pages done over a week ago and finally got around to uploading them last night. This one is of William at one month. I kinda just went all out on this one....my pages tend to be minimalistic but im getting a bit board with it so i decided to change it up. Im really happy with the way it turned out.

I liked it so much that i decided to redo one of my other layouts in the same kinda way. I think it looks 100 times better!

Well im off to jog the park and spend the day running errands. ♥gen

Out Numbered and Loving it!!

I just turned in my challenge for Yellow Bird yesterday. I used the new Prima {Youth} collection....it freakin rocks!!! I LOVE the rubbons...and the icon paper is flipin awesome!

Scrapbooking and alcohol....

lol. Fun mix!!! Went to Cherie's for a Halloween Scrap party on Saturday....was soooo much fun! We got pretty wasted, played round the robin and i was able to get two layouts done. I did end up cutting one of my photos in half while trying to trim another one on the same sheet....was NOT happy about that....especially since my printer is out of ink and cant print another one. Looking back i probably should have trimmed all my photos before i started drinking lol. But all in all i had a great time...i love when im able to get together with my friends and scrap. Here are the pages i did. I may add to them later...

Yay! Its Friday!!!

Hey everyone! I know i haven't updated in a while...{sorry Alessandra ;)} lol. Ive been a bit busy...and somewhat lazy to be honest. But its 12:45 in the morning and i cant sleep so here i am. I apologize ahead of time if i start rambling nonsense. lol.

I did want to thank everyone who supported me and bought my Halloween mini book kit! I had sooo much fun making them. i still have one more to sell, so if you want to snag it, it's still at the store. I hope to teach a Fall themed mini next month, if the store is booked by the time i get around to making something i plan on setting up an Etsy account and will sell kits there.

On another note, i wanted to say that the Bus Tour with Ever After was AMAZING!! I went with Jenn and Jackie, (we work together at CSS). We had sooo much fun! They really did an awesome job of planning. My favorite store we went to was The Red Bee. It was so huge! And they hosted a really cool make'n take. I definitely have to take a trip up there again! Anyhoo...after the tour we went back to Jenn's house to scrap...i got a couple Layouts done...

Im going to Cheries house tomorrow after work for a halloween Scrap party! Sooo excited! Hope to get some more pages done then. Have a great weekend! ♥gen

Our Newest Arrival...

Hi everyone! I know, I know...I should have posted pics of the little guy a month ago. Ive just been a bit tired and overwhelmed with everything. But things are starting to settle down and im gettin in the swing of things. His name is William Aiden, he was 8lbs 8oz and 20 inches long. Hes already a month old now and getting bigger and bigger everyday!

Anyhoo...i got my scrap on last night!!! lol. I just loved these pics of Stuart drawing on the patio...he's quite the artist. Now that i have some time off, im hopeing to get more pages done.

And this is a layout i did a couple weeks ago at Cherie's. Just me and Stuart goofing off...i love scrapping those everyday "unimportant" moments. Its those moments i love and cherish the most. Ok well better be off...the inlaws are coming over to spend Memorial Day with us. Hopefully it will be sunny enough to go swimming! ♥gen

I miss you!

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Happy Mothers Day everyone! Today was totally awesome...ate like a pig and got a new camera, so thats cool :) Just thought id share what i made for my mom this year. It was my first try at soldering and i think it turned out pretty well.

Anyhoo...hopefully ill have time to scrap this week so keep checkin in for new layouts ;) lol.

Wow...its been a while!

I cant believe i only get a layout done about once a month...i really wish i had more time to scrap...hopefully i will still be able to make time for it once the baby arrives...which is in 5 more weeks!!!!! AHHH!!! Im sooo nervous...but seriously cant wait to get this thing out of me! lol. Im to the point where everything hurts all the time and im sooo tired...it feels like the baby is gonna bust through my stomach every time he moves...very uncomfortable! But all complaining aside...i cant wait to see his little face and hold his little body in my arms...im gonna go picture crazy for sure lol. Anyhoo...my next appointment is in 2 weeks...Ill keep you all updated on how that goes. So here is the layout i did a few weeks ago...Wesley's 3rd birthday...im really happy with the way it turned out...i got my inspiration from Creating Keepsakes 'April' issue, page 43.
















Well better get to bed...still need to make mothers day gifts for my mom and mother in law tomorrow. I hate waiting till the last minute but that's always how it happens lol. Anyhoo...Will try to post again soon. Love you all.

So much for deciding between K and H....

So i went to the the hospital yesterday for my 20 week sono and it turns out im having a BOY!!! i guess someone upstairs sure does have a sense of humor! I dont know what im going to do with THREE boys!!!! Ahhh! Its just too painful to think about. I really wanted to get my tubes tied and be done with having kids after this one, but i just cant, nor could i ever fathem not having a daughter in my life. I want that special mother daughter relationship...i wanna play dress up, piant eachothers nails...god...i just want a girl sooo bad!!! The scary part is trying for a fourth! i never in a million years thought i would ever have 4 kids...thats just CRAZYNESS!!! But like i said, the idea of never having a baby girl is just unimaginable....so i guess we will be trying again in a few years. Anyhoo....so here is that other layout i did...dont know what im going to do with it since its about being pregnant with a girl!!!! Ill just hold on to it till after the baby is born....you never know....there could be a mirical. lol.
