Think She Wanted A Sister?

That's the title of my mini album :) I made it using the Paper Lovelies August Kit and a Cosmo Cricket Blackboard album I had. DD found some ofher old clothes and dressed DS up as a boy...of course I had to get some pics, and then I waited a little while until the perfect pp came along...and this is the result! If you want, you can check out a YouTube video I made about this mini.

Paper Lovelies August Kit!

Hi guys, the Paper Lovelies August kit is up for sale...and it's an unbelievable $15!! This kit is packed full of embellies and the entire "Odds & Ends" paper and stickers and letters kit from Cosmo Cricket. If you want to see all the contents "in person", check out my "haul" video. I made 3 layouts and a mini album since I was soooo in love with it, so today I wanted to share just the layouts. I will post pics of the mini tomorrow, but in the meantime, you can watch a video about it.

I made a July 4th LO - "Us Four on the 4th" - the blues and reds were perfect for this LO.

I also made a LO about DD, "Be Unique":

And finally, "Vintage Charm", and that cute little girl is my mom :)

Worst case scenario....

Thank you for the birthday wishes for my DD. Today was to be her birthday party at Build A Bear...unfortunately we never made it there. Here's the news story. After an hour and a half in the car, in traffic, using the GPS to try different exits, all of which were closed, we gave up and went to Chuckie Cheese. Only 3 friends made it but she ended up having a great time after all. What a day for mommy though!! We made it through the drama, the heartbreak, the tears, and DS throwing up in the car and made the most of it :)

My Sweet Girl....is 7 Today!

Can you believe it?!?! Well, I'm sure you can, but it's hard for me! LOL She's 7 and still so sweet. She loves to play with her brother and help us take care of him, she's so well behaved, and loving, and considerate. Sure, she's got some spice to go with all that sugar, but just the right amount. As Mary Poppins used to say, she's nearly perfect in every way :)

Hometown Summer Mini Album - July 4th!

Hi guys, I made a mini about our 4th of July this year. I used my Hometown Summer collection since it was bright and fun and perfect for a hot day at the pool :) If you want to see more, I made a YouTube Video about it. You can see I made the most of my new Tim Holtz mini paper rosettes die!!
