It's Thursday

It was a long night with Braden last night. He woke every 2 hours and then I was up with him for over an hour at 6:20...then he only slept from 7:40 til 8:00!!! But, I got him down at 9:00am and he slept another 2 hours so I was able to get this layout done!

He is now on his 3rd nap, and he's going down nicely..no fighting it and waking back up the minute he touches the mattress! So now I'll clean my desk and fold some clothes...then maybe I'll do ANOTHER layout!!!

Thank you, JulieAnn!

Well, my dear friend, JulieAnn, saved me! She has a copy of my gdt application that I sent to MF so now I can share the work I submitted!!!

So I guess you could say these are my "WINNING" pieces! The pail is a gift for my sister, and I used all Crate Paper and a Bazzill blossom. The layout is using, of course, Basic Grey!! Lollipop Shoppe!!! and some Queen & Co. flowers.

**SHOCKED**

Well I am just SHOCKED!!! I will be one of the guest designers at www.scrapbookeronline.com from July - September! I can't believe it! Yes, I did apply, but I wasn't really expecting to get it...I just felt I had to apply, being a "sista" and all! lol I'm so excited...it will be such fun working from the "other side" with the wicked awesome design team and Sue, the other guest designer! I'm a little nervous though...WAT has always been something I admired and looked up to..now I'll be a part of it! OY! Gotta get my groove on so I don't disappoint anyone!

I was going to post the layouts I submitted, what I can now call my "winning" layouts...but I forget which ones I sent to MF! lol How bad is that? I know they were from my dt work at www.scrapbookplayground.com, but I can't remember which! oops!

Happy Father's Day!!!

well here are 2 layouts with Darren and his kids! I used Crate Paper!! They are sponsoring us this month at www.scrapbookplayground.com and you can see them in the gallery June 20th!!!!

Happy Father's Day, Darren! I love you and the kids love you!!! Thank you for such a beautiful family!

I created a Slide Show! Check it out!

Well aren't they just too cute!? I think so...but yet I'm they're mom so I guess that's expected. But this is a great picture of them together! They're both happy and looking at the camera! Not bad seeing how Braden is only 5 weeks old! lol





We took Braden to the ear, nose, throat doc today. He says he's fine, nothing wrong and it's just going to have to fix itself. Laryngomalacia. Big word for something not serious! But it's a relief, I was dreading surgery of any sort.
