3 Glorious Years!!

Today marks my 3rd wedding anniversary. These last three years have had a lot of changes but I wouldn't change them for the world! I love you babe!

I have a bunch of projects to show you but lil monkey and I have been down with colds the last couple days. So there goes the dinner plans for tonight, as well as everything else that needs to be done around here.

Mothers Day 2011

Here's the Mothers Day cards I made this year. I wanted to keep them simple (I made 10 for family and mommy friends) and I love how they turned out. They feel very spring-y and living in western WA, we can use all the spring we can since we don't see the sun that much. :)

In other news, today is the anniversary of the day my hubby and I met! We've been together 7 years and it feels like yesterday that we laid eyes on each other. Our wedding anniversary is on Tuesday and we've been married for 3 years! Crazy how time flies!

Up Up and Away!

This card took awhile for me to like it but I think it's won me over. :) I didn't like the empty space at the bottom but now I think that it goes with the idea that the balloons are floating up into the clouds. This is for a friend of mine whose birthday is a few weeks away.

Speaking of birthdays.... mine is coming up too! This year my birthday falls on Mothers day. This only happens every 7 (?) years. I never want to do much for my birthday but this year I wanted to do something. That was until I realized when my birthday was. So we're going to have a Mothers day BBQ with our families and call it good. We'll see what happens. haha

I've known this for awhile now but I'm on the Paper Playtime design time! My term is for May and June and I'm so excited! I basically create a project for the challenge before it gets posted so that there are examples of the challenge.

Thanks Janis for thinking of me!!!

Another baby on the way!

Our church has a lot of young families so there is always babies being born. Well in the span of about a week, 4 ladies announced that they were pregnant! I made this card for one of them since she's in my MOMS group and my bible study. Two of the other ladies that are pregnant are also in my MOMS group.

A new baby and a big sister!

A good friend of mine had a baby girl on the 16th. Her first daughter is my son's best friend. So the day that they came home from the hospital we brought them Papa Murphys pizza and a little gift for Sadie (the big sister!). Carver wanted to get her a coloring book and some crayons since he LOVES to color. haha

Here's the card I made for the family. I was rushing to get these finished so the lighting isn't the best. Sorry!
