September day

Just a normal day for us! In the afternoon when it's "cooler" (insert snarky laugh) we like to play on the porch for a bit!


"The Girls"

I have been so excited for the past few months because I have some girlfriends to hang out with! It's kind-of sad how isolated you can get as a mom, how hard it is to keep up with friends and sometimes to make new ones. I met Laura and Angie online! We all scrapbook, saw we lived close and they invited me to their playgroup. There, I met AnnaMaria as well as everyone's cute kids!
Well, we gals had our first "girls night" this week. I am SO glad everyone's as laid back as me. So, here are our pics - us, scrapping, laughing, no makeup! I think AnnaMaria's pic came out the best, that stinker!

And here we are, in no particular order,

Laura Williams

Angie Hagist

Me!

i heart target dollar section!

Sorry, removed for publication!
one of my new fav things is to hunt things i can alter! it's just fun to take stuff and make it look more personal by adding a few things at home. So, here are two purses I made using bags I bought for one dollar at Target! gotta love that!

The toile wristlet I used a anna griffin flower with a k&co button, sewed MM croched lace as a leaf for the flower.

The other, I
put a few brads in for "earings" used steam a seam2 to apply the big ribbonand small ribbons. SEI ribbon. unknown chipboard. MOD buttons.

Just Let Me Scrapbook!


I have been fortunate enough to work on Just Let Me Scrapbook's Design team for a while now. Working with Mary Beth is such a pleasure! Here are a few things I made with things from her online store. Both are of Audrey. Better get some more recent photos of Alexander, lol! Really love the one of her and daddy at the beach - her first time there! Thanks for looking.

1 Corinthians 13- Love Book!




I wanted to do an art journal to remind me of the truths found in 1 Cor. 13. This was a lot of fun to make!

As seen in Paper Trends magazine!
