Post #101..

This is my 101st post! I know that some Bloggers post daily, but I am neither the writer nor have the time.  It only took me about three years to get to this point, but it is quite the milestone for me. You would think I would have something more exciting to say, but it is January and cold and post-holiday blahs..
Isabel has been enjoying all the snow we've had around here..

Bailey likes to watch her...

We've had lots of tea parties....

And impromptu photo sessions....

And when I have time, I have been completing my holiday layouts.  I always think I don't take enough photos and then I end up with an album full..
Here are some of my favorites:

Love this photo and the Echo Park Paper here!

I used a Lot Of Martha Stewart Paper this year..Loved the bright red and green.

 

 

October Afternoon is always good too!

So is Dear Lizzy from AC!

Love this picture of our Elf!

Adhesive Paper Ribbons are so great and easy to use and LOVE, LOVE these Girl's Paperie snowflakes!

I Finally used this Hambly transparency from my stash! Loved these glitter Dear Lizzy Thickers too!

So love the look of neutral/kraft colored papers with the red and green colors of Christmas.

Working on my "night" pictures...

 That is it for today..my little one is begging for some attention..Thanks for stopping by!!!

Happy 2011 (Early)

With less than 48 hours left in 2010, I thought I would take a moment to wish all of my blog friends a healthy, happy, and inspired New Year!
Bring on 2011!!!

Memories of 2010!

It's beginning to look like Christmas..

The girls had a great time and were a wonderful help this year decorating the Christmas tree.

Bailey has been loving looking (and touching!) all of the holiday ornaments and decorations.  Good thing she has some little things that she can play with too!

 

 

Isabel took this photo, my little "Paparatzgi" (that what she calls it!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also had the chance last week to make our annual visit to the Gingerbread Wonderland at the arboretum. Such fun! 

Good enough to eat!

In scrappy news, My December Studio Calico kit arrived. That always makes for a good mail day!

And I have a few layouts from the SC November Kit, "Napa Valley" to share..

lots of Maya Mist going on..fun!

This one is a layout I made using my Cricut from when we went to the Bronx Zoo.  I love using it, but sometimes hate getting it out and the labor involved, but I love the clean look it gives to layouts.  Plus, it gives me the chance to use up scrap cardstock I have laying around.

Oh and I almost forgot the best for last..My little Izzy lost her 1st tooth!

It was loose and it fell out as she was biting into an apple at school.  She was so excited!!
Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful day!

Thanksgiving photos, some Fall layouts and a Holiday Card

I have been so buy with getting ready for the holidays that I haven't had the chance to post some photos we had from Thanksgiving.. We had a nice holiday in NH this year.  The girls had fun and acted like Turkeys, as usual!!

so did the Biggest turkey of them all...

Daddy did a great job as usual, carving the turkey..

With Isabel in Kindergarten this year, I have been kept busy with her homework!! LOL!
Our latest project was to make a Gingerbread house out of a paper bag..We had fun doing it!

And speaking of the holidays, this is my Holiday Card this year..I used Martha Stewart paper and Hero Arts stamps..(I always love their designs and the quality of their stamps.)

The little girls remind me of my 2 little ones..

 

And before I forget, here are some Fall layouts that I have been meaning to post.

Good Fun! Thanks for looking!!
