Happy First Day of School!


Happy first day back to school!!! (Well it is here...) My baby is in Grade 1! And my eldest is in Grade 4 with my middle one in Grade 2. I have NO idea how or when that happened! But my kids sure were excited to get to school today! They wouldn't even hardly sit still long enough for me to take a picture! For a scrapbooker like me that's really difficult to accept! But I made it through so I think I will be okay. ;) I wish you guys all the best, both students and parents alike, this school year.

I am excited because this school year is a brand new start for us as a family. My hubby, who has been off work due to health problems, is going to school himself for 6 weeks! At the end of which he will have a Class 1 driver's license with air brakes, and 14 safety tickets which will allow him to get a job in the Oil & Gas or Construction industries. For the first time in over 10 years my hubby will have a job!  He. Is. THRILLED!!!!!!! I am so happy for him! So our family dynamic is about to change drastically! My oldest is only 8 so he only knows daddy to be at home all day, except when he was in the military. But Joey was only 1 year old at the time so he doesn't remember much. This also means that for the first time in over 13 years, I will be home. Alone. All day. By myself.

Whatever shall I do?!? Any suggestions? Leave a comment below!

Hey, everyone! Happy New Year and welcome to the very first My Cricut Craft Room blog hop of 2013! You should have come from Jamie's blog  but if you have stumbled upon my blog unexpectedly, you may want to start following the hop at the beginning . I hope all of your holidays were blessed and that this new year finds you all happy! I know I am happy-to be on such a wonderful Design Team with AMAZING and very talented Design Team sisters. You have many wonderful project ideas in store for you today!  Today I wanted to share with you some projects from the Mini Monograms, 9 Months, Beep Beep, and Cherry Limeade cartridges. My first project was made using the Mini Monograms cart. I have been BIG into mini projects lately and this one followed suit. I made some fun little 'Kiss Cards'. I love leaving little notes around the house for my husband to find and these cute little cards take it up a notch. With these cards, you can leave kisses lying around the ho

Fall Mini Book

Hello, everyone! How are y'all?? I know I know, I disappeared for a while. The truth is, I lent my computer to somebody who needed it for the past few weeks. I am back and have a ton of stuff to show ya. For this post I have to be quick. I found out this afternoon about a design team call and it ends in 38 minutes! Talk about getting it in by the skin of my teeth! But not bad for only knowing about it a couple of hours! For the submission, we have been asked to do make something with our cricut that is new and it needs to be Fall themed. So, for my submission, I decided to do a cute little mini book for my sister who is expecting a girl in February. I enjoyed it so much that I think I am going to do another mini book for the other three seasons to complete a mini collection for her little one. I used my cricut and the new Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge, (which I am IN LOVE with!!!), as well as the Art Philosophy cartridge. The pages of the book are chipboard pieces from Clos

I'm Finally Back!!! Well...almost.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is SO good to be 'back'! The past 6 weeks have been Hell!!! Ironically, the day of my last post, I got a prescription for an antibiotic to cure an infection I had in my right pointer finger. I have eczema and it is very sensitive to weather. During our hottest and driest week, my eczema became painfully dry and cracked which let in normal bacteria that is found on our hands. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and severe seasonal allergies. (Seasonal allergies were the worst this summer too!) So on top of all the 'fighting' my poor body was doing, the infection was too much and it overran my system. To make a long, and extremely painful, story short the infection overtook both my hands rendering them useless for the past 6 weeks. I am on my 6th or 7th course of antibiotics. After being in and out of the ER on IV antibiotics for a week and a half, and the infection only getting worse, the doctor finally admitted me to the hospital for 4 days last week
