Isn't she lovely!

Isn't she just beautiful! The newest addition to the Perry family. Todd's niece, Kim & her hubby Craig welcomed beautiful baby Maeve on Tuesday morning. We just wanted to wish them a wonderful congratulations and can not wait to meet this precious new addition to the family!

Love to all!

Another page to show you! Yay!

Sinca that last page was so much fun... I had one other page in mind from our Easter pictures and even got the time to do this page! My hubby rocks!

I got to use even more of the Scenic Route arrows and their papers and chipboard embellishments. This is so fun!!!! This one is more of a test for me because it goes a little outside my comfort range when it comes to color but it was good for me.

We are also spending the weekend reorganizing everything including my scrap area so hopefully I will get to create even more!!!

Have a great week!!!

Yay! I have been creative!

I got to spend some time and be creative today! So much fun and makes me realize how much I have missed it! Todd was so nice and kept the kids occupied while I put to paper an idea I had with using some fabulous new products we have gotten in at Scraps.























I used the fun new Bailey Line of paper and glitter chipboard words from K & Co and then also some of the grid paper and arrows from Scenic Route. (Yes Erin, I broke down and bought the arrows to go with that fabulous star paper we both loved) This is one of the Easter pics of Lexi that I love. I am going to try printing it in either Sepia or with Watercolor type saturation to see if I like that look of the picture better with the color of the paper. Her dress really clashes with the paper! Who dressed that girl anyway!

Hope you enjoy!

Have a Beautiful Easter

We hope everyone had a glorious Easter and celebrated with people you loved! We got to spend the day with two of our favorite people! Grandma and Poppy! We love them!!! (thank you so much for sharing the day with us!) And Grandma even made sausage gravy and brought loads of fabulous fruit for us to go with all the food I had! We ate well! Yum!

The kids got to see their Easter baskets and did a mini Easter egg hunt in the house. Wasn't it fun to see the snow falling outside on Easter?!! Lexi had Poppy helping her open her eggs and smiled so big everytime he opened an egg and gave her the candy inside. Logan had Grandma watch over his candy after he opened his own eggs then he went back to his Legos. Boy does he love those!

I just wanted to share some cute pictures from the day with everyone. Logan chose his own shirt - isn't it beautiful with his eyes! And little Lexi - after a VERY large fight even getting her into a dress (I guess she is not going to be my girly girl) - she looked absolutely gorgous!

NEVER trust a 2 year old!

How come I just can not seem to learn that! I think 'No not my sweet little angel!' The fool I am! It takes me way too long to realize that she is quietly off playing by herself so nicely... so I go to see - and she has an entire roll of toilet paper in toilet. Or - she has found a Sharpie in my bedside drawer and has drawn all over her face. Or she is nicely coloring a picture and when I walk back to see her pretty picture she has lovingly colored for her Mommy - I find red marker covering every toe and her hands and her arms! Or - when she picks up a crayon in the van and I think she is again drawing a picture and find out that she has drawn red lines all over her lovely little cream tights! (see why I never dress her up!)

So why do I STILL think I can trust her??????? Because of those innocent beautiful eyes of hers! So when she decided to play in the van yesterday while I was pulling weeds in the front yard... I didn't think anything of it! Until this morning when I have now realized that my beautiful - darling - sweet little girl - put every coin she could find into the cassette player!!! Isn't that just so sweet of her!!

Maybe just maybe.... I will learn to question the silence!!

Nah - I doubt it - Isn't this the face of an angel?

Baby Workshop Created!

I did it! I have finished the baby workshop that I am going to teach at Scraps this month. This has been something I have been doing off and on for many months now. Finding time is just so hard. But it is going to be a class that the students will walk away with TWELVE 12x12 pages that will basicly get their 'babys' first year done! What a wonderful thing! It has been designed as a fairly basic design so that we can also sell them as a kit - maybe even to people that have never scrapbooked before. My fabulous mom went to the store with me this weekend and while I put together the girl version of the kit - she put together the actual kits for me! She rocks doesn't she!!! And to think I am actually getting most of this done a whole 4 weeks in advance!!! If only I could plan ahead so well with the rest of my life!

Since I have been working on this workshop - I have basicly done no scrapbooking of my own!! And I am really getting the bug to get some stuff done! (doubt my
scrapbook area is clean again...) So last night when I worked at the store (remember... the goal is to spend less than I just made while working... didn't work last night) I picked up the cutest little kit from Pebbles Inc. that included sticker letters that had individual words and sayings on them so that I could try to make just a quick mini alphabet album all about the Loves in my life - Todd, Logan & Lexi. Looking forward to it!

I originally thought of making one album for each of them but sadly enough I have discovered that there is very few pictures of Todd and I together!!! And almost none since the kids were born!! This has got to change! It is now a goal of mine to actually document in photos - Todd and I's life together! So if any of you see us out together and have your camera on you... be sure to snap a photo for me please!

Have a great one! I will keep you posted on my progress of my mini album!
