well, I've been submitting a lot of layouts to Jen for her issues of Ready, Set, Create. I guess she got tired of the emails back and forth because she invited me back on the creative team!!! I'm super excited to work for her again. She's amazing, and easy to work for! She told me when I left a year ago that she'd try to have a spot for me later....I'm glad she was able to do that, because now I'm ready!
so I'm gonna jump right in and get to work....be back later when I wash all the glue and paint off my hands!
go check it out - www.readysetcreate.com
do you see this? He's telling me NO-NO!
wow, look at her...totally happy!
stinker! I asked for a smiling face and this is what she gave me! smart kid :)
awwww, looking up at Daddy to get his tools...
Let's see...I've updated my slide on the right. I almost messed up and put my layouts for February in there! That would've been bad.....no sneak peeks here!!
Darren's parents will be here on the 12th to visit for 8 days - very exciting times...it's been a while since they've been to Oklahoma - and they're willing to go to Hailee's Valentine Party at school so boy is she bursting at the seams!!!
There's a BIG event coming up at the Playground starting Feb 4th! Challenges, games, lots of fun, and in the end - PRIZES!!!! SO come check it out! I'm really hoping to get a lot of layouts done this time - I haven't been doing ANY challenges lately and kick myself for it...so bring it on!
okay - so that's all I have to report - OH WAIT! Darren will be putting the PINK paint on the office walls HOPEFULLY tomorrow - which means by Friday Hailee will be in her new room!!! yay! Progress. finally.
wow, I was able to get 3 layouts done the past couple days!! go me :) lol
This is Hailee with my grandma and grandpa. She was 13 months old. This was the only time she was able to be with my grandma. :(
this picture of Hailee was taken sometime last year I believe - so I'm guessing she's about 5.
My sister with the kids...Hailee is 5 and Braden is just 4 months old - wow time flies!
I made this cute little tag and sent it to Kristi. Just a thanks for all her help at the playground. 
And this is a picture of a strand of icicle light that hung on our house for the holidays. This is the beginning of our ice storm...it became much worse. Used Fancy pants felt for the corner...it is sprayed with Glimmer Mist and a Heidi Swapp acrylic snowflake is attached in the middle! TFL!
Kimmie and I are going to do a little mini crop this weekend at Scrapbook Playground. lots of challenges to get you scrapping. games to occupy any time you have left over. and anyone who participates gets their name in my January rak basket!!!!
so who's gonna play???? I'll get bingo started too...I'll try to post words tonight so you can pm me your list by Thursday.
This is last minute so we're gonna move fast...hope you'll join us!!!
there's a contest at the Playground! Show us your layouts using 3Bugs in a Rug!!!! Get them in our contest gallery before the end of the month!!!!
Holy cow! I just LOVED the Luke & Lola line I was given for my January products! 3 Bugs is definitely on my "faves" list right now! It has sheets perfect for boys AND girls....and isn't that just perfect for my kids???? Here are the projects I uploaded today...there'll be more on the 20th!
Thanks to 3bugs for being a great sponsor, I had so much fun!!!
oh, and if you have some of their stuff in your stash, then head over the Playground and enter our January contest!!!
here is a tag I made for Hailee's backpack...the cool thing? the tag is a diecut!! all I did was add stickles, a cut out flower, and the letter H!!
Here is a layout featuring my Hailee! Such a pretty girl....I used glimmer mist on the white paper for sparkle...she approved, lol.
And my Bubby. Hailee calls him Bub. She saw this picture and laughed at "silly Bub" so that's what I called it....and that's what the journaling is about.
Today my little Munch turned 6....bittersweet. She's growing up, and we're so proud of her. But where did my baby go?
Ice. Santa. Snow.
I'll get the pictures from our ice storm damage on here shortly - have to find the folder. Tulsa will never look the same.
Also, I have all 75 or so cards DONE! All I need to get are the cute little Christmas stamps from the post office and these puppies are GONE! yay! I must say, I was really scared about making them, but the came together nicely that it really didn't take as long as I was expecting. So, I'll probably do it again next year! lol
We spent HOURS preparing for our FAMILY Christmas photo! I told Darren I would not share until all cards are assumed to be received, but wow, what a day. We did all the "prep work" while Braden napped, so we were ready when he was...but by then Hailee was worn out (okay, it could be due to the 100+ fever she has along with a sore throat), but we got it. It took almost 2 hours to get the proper camera settings, family arrangement, and timer figured out...but when the time came, we only took about 15-20 shots before we had the declared "winner"!
So I've printed 54 pictures, matted them to paper (will trim them down tomorrow!), printed 54 greetings and matted them to paper (yes, Darren helped with all of this and I am forever grateful!), will cut those tomorrow too. So, I get to put it all together tomorrow and maybe, just maybe, I'll actually be on time and have my cards mailed by the 5th!!!!
WAHOO!!!
and this one just cracks me up! This is what it's like trying to get Braden to cooperate when he's tired and hungry!!!!
Today is the day the design team at the playground gets to reveal their work with the yummy KI Memories products!!! Here are mine....to see the rest click on the link to the left and work your way to the gallery!
