Delicious goodies!

I was so excited to be asked to be the Guest Designer for the Debut Kit at the Scarlet Lime! Have you seen this yet? Christy Tomlinson has put together an amazing site with beautiful kits! I can't believe all that this girl has going on and yet she seems to still give everything 110%. Her site is beautiful and when I got this months kit in the mail....pure bliss! The colors were right up my alley - loved it all! And the stamps...don't get me started on the stamps...totally love them!

I had fun playing with the kit and the site goes live with the debut kits in just a few moments so be sure to check it out before they sell out! Lots of fun stuff on the site to check out (hello awesome designers) - and the blog is awesome too! I just love it! Thanks so much, Christy, for asking me to be your first Guest Designer and for your sweet words! I love ya girl! :)

I haven't been a great blogger this past week - things have been so busy! I gotta lot of work to do this week...so trying to get that all done. I've got so much to share...I gotta get on here and write a bunch of things down - more for my own memory.

Three weeks ago we took the kids to a Dr. and finally got some help that we've been needing. Hudson is a bit Anemic and now on meds and the kids have been going to an Occupational Therapist and Speech Therapist for the past two weeks to get them help with their eating. It's quite the process and will be a long road...but so worth it to get them the help they really need right now. So, lots to share.

Hope your all doing well! Hugs!

Inspiration

This photo is pure....yum!!! I love the colors, the combo of stripes, florals, damask, toile...the textures, everything about this photo makes me so happy! So happy!!

Thanks to everyone for your well wishes on the post below and for the emails! It means a lot so thank you!!!

This summer has been super tough for me...I was so sick! I wasn't that sick with my other two, but this one, I was literally in bed all day. It was super tough...and the poor kids went nuts and had the most boring summer ever! I feel bad but we did what we could.

I didn't do much scrapbooking this summer...after going hard on books and magazine work...I was a bit burned out. So, it was a much needed break and luckily, with me being sick, it came at the perfect time.

But, now, thankfully, I am feeling much much better and I am soooo inspired right now! I sat down this week to work on a page for BHG and wow - I just love it! It came together quickly and it was so so so fun to sit and create! Loved it! And...I've got a lot of fun things on my plate for this month so I'll be able to share some fun things at the beginning of Sept...so excited to share!

What is inspiring you right now? This photo of quilts from Pottery Barn is pure lush to me - I love it! Just what I want my bedroom to look like! What sites are inspiring you? I love hearing what you have to say!

Thanks again for your congrats! Hope your all well!

The perfect little home...

I fell in love with this little bird house (that was the project kit at Jenni Bowlin Studios this month) the moment I saw it. I love birds! :) My name has made me have such a passion for them.

I got this kit this week and just had to put it together! I followed her instructions, but added some sewing (of course) and outlined some of the letters on the bingo cards with a silver gel pen and added some silver stars. I think it turned out so cute!

And...the house was just the perfect size for us. A family photo of us for the front. A photo of Hudson on the side. A photo of Madisyn on the other side. And for the remaining side, I left it blank....ready to be filled with a photo of baby #3 when he/she arrives in January. :) The perfect home!

So, secret revealed. Although it's small, it's 16 weeks old! I thought it was time to share!

Hugs! :)

HUGE Congrats girls!  You will LOVE this book! I can't stop looking at it! :) Please email me your addresses and I'll get them in the mail tomorrow (or as soon as I hear from you). ENJOY!

Thanks for all your sweet comments too everyone! Your all so supportive and nice - thank you! Go out and get this book - it really is inspiring on so many different levels! I know everyone, at whatever style, whatever level, will enjoy it! :)


On another note, I feel like I've had a crazy few weeks! It's been a rather slow summer for us and with school starting this week - things have been so busy lately. Is it bad for me to say that I'm soooo anxious for them to go to school? LOL! Madi will be starting Kindergarten on Wendesday - Wow - still can't believe it! And Hudson will start preschool 3 days a week the following week! Crazy crazy - but crazy good too!

I have a lot to share this week - and ------

I've got a BIG SECRET to share!!

Don't you just hate it when people say that and then they don't share...just leave you hanging? I seriously do...and yet here I am doing it! LOL!

I'll share this week! :)

Have a great Sunday!
Hugs!

 

 

It's all about the...

DETAILS!!!

I was so excited to see this book dropped at my door yesterday! Designing with Details by Autumn Leaves was my first official book with them. I'll never forget that request to contribute to the book - they were mostly done with the book so I had to get done my layouts fairly quickly. :) But, I loved every minute of it! I had creative freedom to just go with it and that was so inspiring - I loved working on this book!! Lots of favs in here!

Each page in this book is full of the things I love...the little things...the details! I love that stage in the creative process when I get to add all the little things that finish my page - it's what makes it special to me. And I love thinking of new ways to add the details to a layout that are unique and fun.

This book will inspire you sooo much! It  is thick and full of amazing layouts! Everyone did an incredible job! Be sure to read the descriptions next to each layout because we usually had to use on thing a different way and the description will help explain that. As I was going through it last night - I found out different things about the layout that I don't know if I would of noticed without reading - so cool!

So - I'm in DETAILS heaven! Gonna go through it more in detail today - so much to absorb!

And...

I've got a copy to give away! Post here and I'll draw on Sunday! :) I hope you win! It's so fabulous!!
  

Another little share...

I am totally wrapped up in the Harry Potter book right now - only 20 pages left!!! I know, what am I doing on the computer right? LOL!

I just wanted to share that I've got a layout up this week at Hero Arts - using their new gems that come in the most wonderful colors! I seriously can't do a page without using their gems - they already have adhesive on them - love that! So easy! I love that photo of Hudson holding my sisters baby, Asher. He was completely enthralled with him - so precious!

Still working on my room too! My hubby was out of town all week - in Phoenix for some work stuff. He got home yesterday and I was so glad! Although he crashed and wasn't around to help me much - I'm looking forward to a much needed break from the kiddos this weekend. It's tough doing it on your own - I admire all the single mom's out there sooooo much!!

Anyway - just wanted to say hello! Any fun plans for the weekend? I just want a break! :) Hugs!
