Get a jump start on your Christmas cards...

For the Dream Street blog this month, I created a couple of winter cards using papers that aren't typically for winter...you can see them here! I'll admit, I've been very bad at creating holiday cards and usually just end up doing a photo card to send out. But if I could get started soon enough, I'd love to create my own cards for those special people for the holidays! I used to a few years back when I wasn't on design teams, but it seems as though I don't have as much time anymore. Please share with me any quick, easy holiday card ideas you have! I'd looove to see them!

This week I've been busy, busy creating my first 3 projects for Tattered Angels, which I'm SO excited to show you. I am absolutely in love with the Tattered Angels goodies!! This month we are teaming up with Graphic 45 papers. Every other day or so, you'll see 3 projects that the design team has made on the blog (see link above). I'll be back on Saturday to show you my projects! :)

Ten?!

Today this sweet girl of mine:is turning......
Seriously...where does the time go? Just yesterday she was born while we lived in military base housing. She had colic so badly.. and we just couldn't figure out what she wanted. Every day was a new challenge, she definitely kept us on our toes! Well, come to find out...that was just her personality... and she still keeps us on our toes! :) But we love her to pieces and couldn't imagine it any other way.

**Happy Birthday, Taylor! You mean the world to us, and we're so proud of you!**

She loves to take pictures (do you think she got that from me?!), so we got her a digital camera for her birthday. Can't wait to see what she thinks of it, and hopefully she will take good care of it. We'll be celebrating her birthday this Saturday with her friends (rollerskating).

Well, I'm off to do some last minute things before she gets home. I'm looking forward to tomorrow....I am going to start taking care of my friend Stephanie's 6 month old daughter a couple of days a week. Kati is just as excited as I am, and can't wait to help me take care of her! Think I'll let HER change the dirty diapers (muahhh!). Just kidding.

Happy belated Halloween!

Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween eve! We were expecting 80% chance of rain here in N.Y., so I decided to take the girls to the mall to trick-or-treat yesterday afternoon, just in case we weren't able to go later on. Turned out to be a wise decision, because about 4:30 it started pouring and didn't stop for a few hours! We did get a few die hard trick-or-treaters at our house later, but not many this year. Here are some pics of the girls ~ Taylor was Supergirl and Kati was a Barbie Witch...
I had my white balance set on the wrong setting and this photo turned out really blue, so I changed it to black and white.Taylor wanted some pics of her cape blowing in the wind. lol She's such a ham.
It's so nice of the mall to host Halloween, especially for the little ones, much easier to go from store to store than from house to house.
Another Halloween over..I love the holidays, but it's such a bummer when they are over and you have to wait another year to do it again! Halloween is definitely still one of my favorites.

Tomorrow my little baby turns 10! I'm off to work on some goodies for her to take to school and make a cake. We are having her party next weekend, but we'll celebrate her real birthday tomorrow, just the 4 of us. Enjoy your day,
