{Not Much To Do Weekend}

This was my kind of weekend...staying home with the kiddies and scrapping my tail off. I was so busy at the hospital this week, so a little R&R helped me. I completed my card for Melissa's challenge and now I've found a new love of circle cards so I made this bird one today and I finally did another page of Aydan. If Kendall would just hold still for me to take a picture, I'd could do more pages of her. But Aydan's the baby so he gets more for now. The blue and flower papers are from the new "Love, Elsie" line. I have a link to her blog at the right. She is way too cool. Have a good week!:)

Friendship Card

This is a Cherry card I made today for a challenge on Melissa's blog. I love her cards and I had a blast making this while Aydan was napping and Kendall was at the movies with Dad. Its actually quiet around here. And with the rain, its an excuse to stay in and scrap.

I hope you like this Melissa! It actually says, "I Cherr-ish Our Friendship".

I'm happy how the card came out but the pic isn't that great.

{Crazy, fun weekend}

I had a three day weekend. Friday, Ozan and I went to see Gwen Stefani. I didn't know that cameras were allowed or I would've brought mine. I missed the best photo op when she ran into the audience and was standing on top of a platform 3 rows in front of me. Ozan said I was screaming like a teenager. I was taking pics like crazy from my cell, but they aren't good at all.

{my in-laws}

On Sunday, my niece, Nina, graduated from high school...gosh she was 3 when I started dating Ozan!! They grow up so fast. She is going to upstate NY for college. We are so proud!!! And, BTW, the school does not wear caps ad gowns, the girls wear white dresses and the guys wear black suits. Times have changed.

I got some scrapping done worked on this page. Kendall uses a baby talk phrase when she wants me to pick her up, so I based this page on that. The scans are so funky. This paper background is really white, but the scan looks so dreary

{finally posing for pics}

{love this pose}

Today I left work early to go to a reception hall/theatre for my employee recognition ceremony. Every 5 years my employer celebrates our anniversary the year after. I had my 15 year anniversary (at the same employer) last September...its crazy. I'll ask my manager for some pics, maybe I can post them soon. Then after work I headed to the backyard with they kiddies and got some cute pics. I always seem to bring my camera outside!

Slide

{Isn't he a beauty?}

After a dreary, cold day(cold enough to need a jacket), the weather let up in the evening and the kids headed outside. Kendall went down the slide and Aydan followed her on his own. He has never done this before (maybe at daycare?) and was a pro. He climbed up the slide and had a blast sliding down.

Kendall is such a goof...every time I take her pic, she wants to see it on my screen. This is her picture asking me to see it.

PIcs of Scraproom

Another scrapbooker (Jen)asked some of us how we organize our scraproom. I love to organize. Here are some pics! Her blog is http://jlizzie.blogspot.com/


Cute Jars to hold ribbon, foam stamps, and buttons...

This box holds chipboard sheets...


These are stickers organizers from Cropper Hopper...I organize them by my favorite manufactuer and then by type (rub on, sticker, letter, etc)




Above and Below: Embellishment organizers (from J's)














This is from Crate and Barrell to hold my loose wooden stamps (idea from Keisha Campbell).

And that was just some of it!

Water Fun

Yesterday we hooked up our waterball/sprinkler thingy for the kids. Kendall went right into the water. Aydan was hesitant. Got some great pics though.
