Aaaahhh...

I had some peace and quiet today while hubby took my older daughter over to swim at Grandma's house! Gotta love alone time once in awhile. I managed to make a lil project for a call that I wanted to submit to. We went to a wedding last night and received these cute little boxes with corkscrews in them..so I turned them into gift boxes for babies! They were black, so I painted them white, leaving a little black to show the texture of the cool boxes, and then added a felt bottom for softness. These could be used to fill with binkies, gift cards, baby trinkets, and/or attached to a soft afghan for a lovely baby gift. I have several friends who will be having babies soon, so these might just come in handy! Thanks for taking a peek!

Good Evening..

Just adding a couple of hybrid design team projects from ScrapGypsies that I did a few weeks ago for Meredith Fenwick and Pamela Gibson. One is a little gift card holder and the other a digital page of my lil Kati. Isn't she cute with her curly little ponytails..hehe! I was lucky enough to have my 3rd project, a baby girl card, published in Cards Magazine this coming December...be watching for it! :)

MIA...

So sorry I have been missing lately! We took a much needed vacation to Maine to the ocean for a week. And right before we left, my computer was down. Turns out it was just a power supply, so I am back up and running now!
Thought I'd add a few of my fave pics from the trip...there were so many that I liked, it is soooo hard to decide which ones to share! My wonderful dh finally let me talk him into getting me a Canon Rebel XT SLR camera, so I was seriously "picture happy" during the vacation!! My father-in-law joked that my 2 year old wouldn't know how to walk without a camera flashing in her face..ha. He's a card. What I love most about this camera is that it is so fast, no longer are my photos blurry..I get crisp, clear pictures, up-close details, and even water drops in action! Yaaaay!
Anyhow, the girls loved the water...Kati wasn't too afraid of it, but Taylor a little more cautious. DH and I had fun boogie boarding in the afternoon when the waves were bigger. The hard part about vacationing with a 2 year old is that they still need naps! All in all, we had a lovely time and are glad to be back home safe and sound (and have time to scrap again! :). Hope you had a wonderful week as well.

The girls and I

Kati didn't much care for the "grass" she called it!

Sand, sand everywhere! Not so good when you are eating M&M's!

Taylor eating chips.

Whoa!

Dig, dig..

Taylor posing for me (which doesn't happen very often!)

DH loves to boogie board.
It's fun when the wave takes you all the way up the beach!
