All is getting back to normal here now....
kids went back this am, one of mine more excited then the other but I am sure after a day at it that will change. I am back to my normal routine, looking forward to it in some ways and not in others!
{this is a pic of us with my parents on my Mom's birthday}
Finally have the time to write a proper post, a chat really, about how all is going.
The baby is playing away... with a baby pram.. so we won't tell his daddy...
although he is slamming it into my card stand so I guess it doesn't count as a girly activity!
We have started back at My Partner in Crafting Crime today... looking for creations with your NEW STASH that you have acquired over the holidays!
I got some really nice crafty gifts from my friend Jenny, my Mom and my hubby even got me a new printer so I could have lovely digital papers!!
I made a crafty New Year's Resolution this year,
I have to start doing more scrapbooking!
I have mountains of photos that need to be scrapped.... when I started with the cards last year, scrapbooking {my first love} fell by the wayside!
I have started already and have managed two LO's. There are so many girls that are fab and doing LO's... I am not one of them, but with this years practice I hope to improve using their examples as inspiration!
Here is one of the little man on his first holiday
and one of his Christening Day
{I am finishing a book of his first year so there will be a lot featuring him}
and then here is my card for the NEW STASH challenge.. hope you can play along.
I recently have fallen in love with a company called Papertrey Ink {which I am sure you have all heard of}.... I love that they all work together, have matching dies, and can be used along side all of my other stash and images! They have a fun countdown to their release every month with I am sure will have me broke this year!
{what I don't like is the shipping and then extra duty I have to pay when the parcel arrives! Seems so unfair}

Here are some simple cards I made with the everyday button bits set!
I have a couple weeks left on the DT for Some Odd Girl...
went by so fast! They are looking for new girls now so if you want to be on a fun team you should check it out.... quick though since time is running out!
Kristy has a fun week planned for the one year anniversary {or birthday rather} of Some Odd Girl!
It all kicks off on the 16th with lots of fun challenges, contests, etc....
Well, that's it for now I guess.... have the laundry to hang, and all those other fun things I have to do with the few hours before the girls get home so better get on that!
chat soon,
