The Big Reveal

I am so excited to finally reveal the new look for my store (and blogs!) I have been working with Shalon at Paper Me Pretty for the past few months getting everything just right. What do you think?! I am loving it! Everything is nice and fresh just in time for National Scrapbooking Day. It's… read more »

TIVO Premiere

Kelly and I have owned a TIVO ever since they first came on the market, since before everyone and their mother (even my mother) owned a DVR. I didn't think they could do anything to make me love my TIVO any more, but they did.  Enter, TIVO Premiere. TIVO Premiere turns the TIVO into much… read more »

Dr. Seuss Baby Shower Album

As I mentioned in my previous post, my gift to Marie was pictures. Lots of them. My friend Emily and I gave Marie a newborn photo session with one of our favorite photographers, Angela Parris of Stillpoint Photography. However, the little guy needs to make his appearance before that is useful, so I took it… read more »

Road trip, Scrapping and Doughnuts

Last weekend was my annual girlfriends/scrapbooking trip to Portland. This was my sixth year going with Tami to the CK Scrapbooking Convention. Oddly enough, we now spend about an hour at the convention (walking through the vendor fair.) We've both taken most of the classes and since I am a digital scrapbooker now I have… read more »

Greetings from Portland!

I am in Portland this weekend with my friend Tami for our annual scrapbooking weekend. It is definitely one of my favorite weekends of the year. Scrapping + coffee + girl talk + sleeping in. Does it get any better? I will post layouts later but for now I wanted to share the darling desktop… read more »

Back to Regular Blogging

This evening I have been reading blog entries from the last few years looking for stories that I want to capture during my upcoming scrapbooking weekend. WHOO HOO! I am having so much fun reading old stories that I had forgotten about, but it did make one thing very clear. I need to get back… read more »

You Can’t Avoid Genetics…

I have had this layout sitting on my desktop for a year. I kid you not, ONE YEAR. It felt so good to get it finished. I fully intend on duplicating this layout for Eden when she gets her glasses. Both of the girls had eye exams last month. Eden's eye sight is worsening. If… read more »

25 Days of Christmas

I am so, so, so, so, so, so excited for Christmas this year. Well, that's not true. I am excited for the days leading up to Christmas. I love the anticipation, the planning, the Christmas music, the movies, the decorating. There is nothing like experiencing Christmas through your child's eyes. Flea (our Christmas elf) made… read more »

Proof! I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth.

This picture was taken by the amazingly talented Angela Parris of Stillpoint Photography in Spokane. It is one of my favorites from our photo shoot last summer. You can't see Eden's face, but it captures her little spirit perfectly. My girl is always on the go, exploring, and generally trying to give her momma a… read more »

A Pumpkin Obsession

I think it’s safe to say that I’ve developed something of a pumpkin obsession. Or to be more specific, a pumpkin decorating obsession. I blame my friend, Heather. She goes all out for Halloween at her house. I have drooled over the decorations she’s posted on her blog for years, and apparently it has rubbed… read more »
