Week in the Life

2011-06-27T07:26:00.000-05:00

I'm going to be giving this a try this year. I'm a bit intimidated because my life is so boring but hopefully it will turn out to inspire me to take my photos. I've been feeling lately that I don't take enough photos and have been looking for something to inspire me to take more. I think this may just be the push I need. Hopefully if I am organized enough i will share a few photos on here about our Week in the Life. I'm not promising anything, but I'm going to try at least!

How about you? Are you joining in on the fun? I hope so!

iNSD Blog Train

2011-05-07T10:00:00.004-05:00

Welcome to the ScrapMatters iNSD blog train! You should have come from Kim's blog. And you are now at Artsy Fartsy Stuff by Mrs. Potts.

As soon as I saw the fabulous Timeless kit by the Design Team at ScrapMatters it made me think of my daughters and the first time I was able to see and hold them. I particularly thought of my oldest daughter. Upon her arrival she was whisked away to the NICU before I got to see or hold her. Complications from birth had left both me and her in relatively grave state of health. More than 24 hours after her birth I demanded that I be allowed to see her. I was allowed five minutes with her. The nurses carefully placed her in my arms and I looked upon her face for the first time. My heart soared as I got to know her. My five minutes were up too soon and I had to return to my room. Things turned out well for both of us in the end, but I will always remember that moment with her. It will stand "Timeless" in my mind.

With the Timeless kit I created this printable card for you all. My intent to use at as a Mother's Day card for my mother, but I'm sure you could use this for other occasions!

I was so sad when I had to step down from the ScrapMattersGirls last week. I was just too busy with all my other CT's to continue doing it. Being an SMG was so rewarding not only from the kits I received but also all the fun I had with the other SMG's. If this sounds like something you would enjoy doing, go ahead and click on the ad which will take you to the SM forum for more information!

It's in the Cards is a card challenge at ScrapMatters where you are given a template to create the card digitally. You can then print it off and add any traditional embellishments you want. This card template was so fun to use! You really should try it out!

Starting Again

2011-02-15T13:06:00.000-06:00

Recently I've been having some problems with who and why people are visiting this blog. I encourage all to visit who are looking for inspiration in the areas that I blog about. However, I found several people who are not coming to this site for that reason. They have been visiting for malicious reasons therefore putting my children {whom I primarily blog about} in danger. I will not stand for that. Thus I have taken action and deleted all my previous posts. It was a bit bittersweet to erase some of these posts but I feel it necessary in order to protect my children. If I find that this action does not work I will be forced to close this blog down.

Now I hope all of you are here for inspiration find it and enjoy looking at my sight!

Thanks for visiting!
