And here is another one

of my super cute twin nephews, Cannon & Deacon, from their 1st b'day pics-and yes I am responsible for those "jailbird" outfits-too stinkin' cute aren't they??? 

I made this layout from the Authentique Miracle line that I bought from TSP and the design I "stole" from Christine Ousley because I just loved the simplicity and how it focused on the pics of these cutie pies!!  I know it is a little "matchy-matchy", but they are twins, isn't that rule for all twins??  :)

A little scrappiness

Although is has been a busy year so far... I have found time to do some scrapping.... I did a whole album for my nephews 1st year and gave to Shelli & Mark on their 1st birthday... while I am not going to share all the layout here are the ones from their birthday party.

I also completed this quicky today of the design team from The Scrapbook Princess...

I took a sketch from Scrapbook Generation and I love how simple and clean it turned out and I also dug deep into my stash for this 3BugsinaRug paper that I have had for several years and have been saving to use for a layout about by scrapping buddies.  Shan cut the title and bunnies on her silhoutte for me :)

It has been a long time...

since I have posted anything, although not for lack of wanting to, I have just been really busy with work and life in general.  January was busy getting ready for the peas 1st birthday and all I can say is WOW, they are truly loved by so many wonderful friends and family and I am truly blessed to be their aunt!!

I also taught a mini album class (my 1st ever!!) at The Scrapbook Princess and while I was nervous when we first started things started flowing smoothly and I think all the girls did a wonderful job!!

Work has also been really busy and we took a little mini vacay with the in-laws to the mtns and went to the TITANIC exhibit which I highly recommend, expensive at $25 a ticket but well worth the 2 hours it takes to go thru it.

Been working on eating better (not so good) and exercising more (getting better) and hoping to be down 30-40 more pounds over the next several months.  I started out really good then things got crazy with work and birthday and trips and me making excuses :)  what I wouldn't give for my 20 year old metabolism...geez it is so much harder losing than gaining!!!

Anywho.... I am going to try and post a little more than I have been... until next time :)

So I have been a little busy

trying to get this finished for the twins 1st birthday party next weekend.  Yes you read right next Friday, the peas will be ONE!!!  It is so hard to believe that this time last year we were recovering from Shelli's shower, little did we know the boys would be arriving later the next week-boy does time fly!!!!

I have lots of things to share, but will have to wait till after next week, partly because I am still working on it and partly because it is a surprise too!! 

Also, I was lucky enough to be chosen to the Design Team for The Scrapbook Princess and will be teaching my very 1st mini album class Feb. 11th and I would tell everyone to join me but the class sold out in 2 days!!!  WOO-HOO

That is all for now... gotta get busy finishing up some scrappy surprises :)

Failing miserably

at trying to post weekly on the blog, and yes I know it is only 2 weeks into the new year-LOL
I have a good excuse or being sick for most of the week and awfully busy at work.  I am sure these next pics will make up for my laziness seeing as they are from our Christmas celebration this year.

WOW.. 2012 is here

May 2012 be all that you want it to be... we are in charge of our destiny so make the most of
everyday!!!  I promise to be a little more consistent this year as I really work towards several "resolutions" that I am hoping to stick with, one of them being better about blogging, along with the standard losing weight and purging the house out. 

9 Years...

ago I married the most wonderful man in the world!!!  I wouldn't trade him for all the tea in China either... we just complete each other.  So all you single ladies out there have faith because your prince charming will come along and I PROMISE you it is worth the wait!!
