Wanna hear something funny? I was playing cars with Hudson this morning...
Me: "Hey dude, thanks for bringing me my packages!" (he was playing with a Lego mail man and truck)
Hudson: "Ya! I gotta go back to work now."
Me: "Hey mail man, what is your name?" (our UPS man is Paul and Hudson just loves him, so I thought he'd say Paul)
Hudson: "John McCain...."
What? Where did that come from? I was shocked and couldn't stop laughing! We haven't mentioned his name since the election - crazy kid! It was so funny though. I played cars this morning with John McCain! :)
Anyway....
Kids are back to school today! I'm soooo happy! :) I think they have been going nuts and I definetly have been! So, it's good to get back to some routine today. I got my big assignments done and now I'm trying to clean up this place! I still have Christmas ornaments on the table that need to be put away...a messy kitchen...and let's not even talk about my scrapbook room. Arghghh! Working on it today...gonna get things cleaned up in there so I can create!
A few random things...
Did you see that the new Hero Arts catalog went up today on their site? Ahhhh...I seriously LOVE stamps! LOVE THEM!!!! I'm hoping that my stamps will be here today or tomorrow and I'm so anxious to dig into them and play! Love all those amazing circles, wood grain, background stamps...my fav release from them ever!! Be sure to check it out!
On a personal note...
Jaxon is WALKING! Yep, the crazy little guy is walking! He took his first few steps at the beginning of December and would only do a few steps here and there. Well, on Friday Jan 2, I think he finally realized that he could do it and now, he is going full board. It's so weird to see his little body walking around - he is just growing up way to fast! I love that little guy so much! Crazy that he is turning one this month. Crazy!!
And...
I think it's official that I can post about it, but it looks like we will be moving the first of February. Crazy! We are so stuffed in this house...I have soooo much to pack up and I don't know how I'm gonna do it all! It's so overwhelming to think about. But, just like everything else, it has to get done so it will...one way or the other.
Project 365....did you get a kit? Let me know if you did! So sorry for those that had a frustrating experience! That stinks! I'm hoping that my kit will come this week cause I've got all my first week photos and journaling ready to go! I'll be sharing all my pages here as I finish them - I can't wait to get started!
Oh...and another random share...if your still reading this long random post...I think Jaxon thinks he's such a big boy cause now that he can walk, he thinks he can reach for anything on any table and pull it all down. I was taking my 365 photo this morning and set my camera down on the entry table - far enough back I thought - turn to say goodbye to Madisyn and bammmm...there goes my camera on the tile floor. Thankfully I had a filter on my lens - which cracked and I can't get off. And my lens is making funny noises and won't focus - not good. So - another fun thing! Oh joy!
Ok, enough of all that! :) :)
On January 1st, another Garden went up at Two Peas. The theme for this month is: yourself. Ouch! I don't like scrapbooking about myself...I know it's not good and it's important to do...but, yuck! :)
Here are my layouts for this month (all copyright twopeasinabucket.com):
This one is about all the things running through my head each day and learning to balance it all! :) You can see more details about it here.
A layout about my hubby and I. This was an older layout that I changed and tweaked...again, you can read more details about it by going here.
A new product layout using all those yummy goodies from Amy Butler. Love them!! You can see more close-up photos and read details here.
How is that for a random post! :)
I'm off to clean my scrapbook room so I can start more things! Yippee! Have a great day!
wow! you have so much going on. I cant believe that your little one is walking, so cool! Love your new layouts, I always love your work :)

Loved your Garden stuff, Robyn - we celebrated my niece's 1st birthday on Christmas Eve...she just learned to walk a few weeks before, too. So funny how she and Jaxson have been neck and neck from the start. So, the second she could walk and carry something...she discovered the toilet. Yep, she still can't flush, buy my sister has found a few unpleasant surprises there - hard to get the 5 yo big brother to remember to shut the toilet after he's done! Yuck.
I got the 365 kit, and am fired up to get my hands on it!

Super cute layouts! Sorry to hear about your camera!

Thanks for all of your info! I always feel like I am up to date after reading your blog.
I love looking at your refreshing LO's and can't wait for your class at 2P's
Have a great week!

Great LOs!! I got a shipping notice from CK that my 365 stuff is shipping...so I assume that means I did get one, but with all the craziness & confusion I'm not saying I got one until it's in my hot little hands LOL. -But, I have been taking pix regardless....one way or another I'm doing this project. :)

hi Robyn,
I check out your blog an a regular basis, but I'm not sure if I've ever left a comment! :) So sad to hear about your camera, really, I think I'm having sympathy pains! It's amazing how fast our little ones grow right before our eyes, isn't it? It seems like just yesterday I came home with my third (and final) baby and now she's upstairs screaming and pounding on the walls cause she doesn't want to take a nap...*sigh* Hee-Hee! I really love your layouts and your style just rocks!

um, ok, WHAT!?!?! he's turning ONE this month? when you first said he was walking, i was automatically thinking..."what is he, like 6 months old?!? how is he walking at 6 months?"
i can NOT believe that!!! wow! go jaxon! :)
love the new layouts! expecially the one with you and hubby. too cool!

Love the new layouts Robyn. That amy butler stuff is lovely, and I love the one of the two of you. You are so lucky the kids have gone back to school, still 5 more weeks to go here. luckily the weather has been amazing though so as soon as they get grumpy I throw them both in the pool!!! Project 365 - I'm so on it. Laura V so kindly managed to get me a kit which will get to me eventually (via her, a hotel and a flight attendant friend lol) so looking forward to getting it, am filing everything digitally until it does! such a great concept, especially when you have no oomph to be creative which is totally me these days!! Enjoy your time back to yourself :o)

Oh no!! I'm sorry about your camera...how is that little guy walking already. I still think of him as a newborn? LOL! Kids are so quiet...you don't hear them coming. My 5 year old know that and uses it to her advantage. LOL!
Your LO's are so beautiful...thanks for sharing with us. I will definately check out 2peas!

Robyn,
I started using twopeas back in 2004. When i look thru my old bookmarks, there are so many of your layouts marked. You have such a beautiful style!!! I love the two blue & red lay outs. They are just phenomenal!! Thanks for sharing!!

little dude is walking and yanking camera's off the table?!?!? good luck robyn! i think it's so funny when they start walking. you're not used to it ... and then they come around a corner ... and you're like "where did YOU come from?". lol!
i did get my project 365 kit ordered ... and can't wait to get it. have my first weeks photos all printed and ready to go. and i have to check out the new hero arts catalog ... need some new stamps to play with!e
loved your garden layouts ... especially the "balance" one. such a fun idea to put down all the random thoughts of everything we need to do and want to do.
