Excited for EASTER!!

I'm not really sure why, but I am really excited for Easter to come. I have been thinking about it all morning. What to have for lunch... how many eggs to hide.... what to put inside of the eggs... and on and on. For the last 3 years, I have had my family out to my house to eat lunch and then we have a huge egg hunt with at least 100 eggs. Today, I am going to call all of my brothers and sisters and see if they want to come over again.

Anyway, I love this card and it reminded me of Easter so I thought that I'd share it.

Have a great day!

She's got a name!!!

Sophie Julienne

I finally talked Leif into talking names with me! I have wanted to name her Sophie since I found out that she was a girl... he had other names in mind. Then, he found out that his grandma's middle name was Sophia and he was convinced. Julienne is my grandma's middle and I've always thought that it'd be fun to name a daughter after her. Now she will be named after both of her great-grandmas!! I am really excited and just had to share!!

Valentines for Teagan's Teachers



Okay... These are really crappy pictures but oh well... you get the idea. I made these for T-bone's teachers for V-day. They really liked them. It took about 5 seconds to make the nugget tin. I love these things. Next month for my club, we will be making the tins. I'm sure that everyone will enjoy them as much as I did. It is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to make a small gift for someone!! Anyway, thought I'd share with you!

McKinley's 3rd birthday!

Well, the party is over! It was crazy, but fun. She loved all of her loot and we have been playing with it all day long! We have to take her to the doctor tomorrow because she got hurt playing in the playland. She can barely walk on her right foot. It's really sad to watch her limp around the house. I am hoping that it is just minor and that she is okay.

I have been trying to get some stamping done today. I got all 12 of my new sets mounted... this is huge because I have been really bad about mounting my sets lately. Club is next weekend and I have one of the cards done that I plan on making. I am still trying to decide if I want to post a picture because a lot of my clubbers look at my blog. I will say this... the Stampin' Up! rub-ons are AWESOME!! Anyway, hope you all had a great weekend!

IT'S A GIRL!!


Another princess for us! We went in for the ultrasound yesterday... I was so nervous this time for some reason. We are definitely having another girl. She kicked through the entire thing. This is awesome because babies with nuerotube defects typically won't move around much. Such a relief for me. My anxiety this go round is insane. I feel much better after seeing how perfect she looked. Can you see that she is sucking on her hand in this picture? So cute... very excited to scrapbook this one. I got a lot of really great pictures. Anyway, I better get back to getting my house ready for my company. McKinley is turning 3 on Sunday.... big party and lots of family ahead! Have a great weekend!

I love this hostess set!



If you are a part of the We Stamp swap... sorry for the spoiler.

I made this card for a swap I joined. We were supposed to use 2 of the in colors and one of Stampin' Up's classic colors. I decided to go with Soft Sky, So Saffron, and Wild Wasabi. The stamp set is a level 2 hostess set called Spring Solitude. I totally love this set. So simple, but it always seems to look good. It was sooo much fun cutting out all of those dang flowers without my paper snips :( I can't live without them anymore!! My new pair should be here tomorrow along with my $350 worth of goodies I got to order. I just love Leif!
Anyway, thought I'd share my card with all of you!

Can't seem to keep it clean...


Here are a few pics of my little corner that I have to stamp. Ya know... I can't keep it clean to save my life. It is clean now... not for long because I am about to make a birthday card for my dad. I am the sloppiest stamper ever!! Every time I stamp it is like a bomb goes off in there. Wish me luck in keeping it clean until our company leaves on Sunday!

I guess you could call it shotgun....

I had an interesting day yesterday! Leif and I woke up, did some housework, hung out with the kids, and got married! Yep, got married. We've been together almost five years... have kids and one on the way. It was time. My sisters came over to witness the VERY small event and then we went to dinner with Patty, Paul, Denise, Missy, Michelle, Makayla, Harmoni, Teagan, and McKinley. It was actually really a fun day considering it was very untraditional. I woke up this morning to both of my cars covered in all kinds of things and lots of paint. My sisters are crazy. I can't tell you everything they put on our cars, but I can say that I am glad I took it off before the neighbors saw it!

That was my day. Now today... more cleaning and a little bit of stampin!

Hope everyone else had a fun weekend too!
