Gotta Love It Mini







I made this a few months ago but wanted to share it now that the class I tought using this is over. I hope you like it!

American Girl Store



Gracie saved all her money all summer to go to the American Girl Store while on our trip to Chicago. She was so thrilled to be able to afford matching pajamas for both her and her doll (well, thanks to a little help form Nana) After she made her purchase we made our way upstairs to the American Girl Cafe to have lunch with her doll. Everyone thought she was so cute because her and her doll were matching. Truth be told the dress was found at TJ Max last year majorly on clearance and surprisingly it had the matching dress for her doll. Perfect for a day at American Girl! Next time we go Gracie and I would like to go to a theatrical performance at the American Girl Store. I think I just may like this American Girl stuff as much as she does!!!!

This picture sums up the last four days for me! We went to Chicago and had a beautiful time.

Quintin just might be a lounge singer when he grows up!

Yes, my little boy has discovered the art of lounge singing. He cracks us up! He sings the "turtle song" with a lounge singer flair! Oh my gosh I need to get a video camera so that I can share it with you! You would all die laughing!!!!!!

CHA Highlights!My favorites.....

Bella Blvd.
Crate Paper
Fancy Pants
Cosmo Cricket
Sassafras Lass

The new company that I discovered is Harmonie from Canada. They had some things I have never seen before. Like full size (12x12) acrylic albums with page protectors in them.

The show seemed to be kinda quiet. Rumor has it people were upset that it was on Orlando. I on the other hand was not upset at all due to the proximity to Disney. I mean lets get our priority's straight.

ENJOY!!!!

By My Self.....


Quintin has discovered the art of playing by ones self! It is a good day at this house. Thank you lord for finally allowing him to 'get it' Along with that has come playing with himself on EVERYTHING! Yes, my friends, this includes but is not limited to Hide and go seek. I know what your thinking how do you play it by yourself? Q has perfected that art and this is how it goes.

1) Place your face against the wall, and count....1...3..2....3 Seddy Ret Go!!!!!!

2) Run around and find a hiding spot....between the door and the screen door is always a good spot. 3) Then jump out from your hiding spot and yell..... FOUND YOU!!!!!!!!!

This quit possibly be the funniest thing I have ever seen. I love you Quintin even if I am no longer allowed to play Hide and Go Seek with you! :)

A major highlight of the trip was being able to go to the Fiskars event at Epcot. There was dessert served and then we where escorted outside for Illuminations. It is my favorite of all the fireworks presentations at Disney so it was awesome!

Bella Love!

At CHA I had the opportunity of seeing my work displayed in the Bella Blvd. booth. It was so cool to be able to see my work among some of the best scrapbooker's out there! If you would like to see more of Bella Blvd. you can check their blog out here. Bella Blvd. is in my top 5 at the show this year. Plus it was so awesome to see AnnaMarie again!!!!! I was even able to say hi to Jane who is growning inside that cute little belly of hers. :)

I'm Home From CHA!!!!!!!!

I'm super tired and still have to unpack and get used to being a mom again after a long week off, but soon I will load in my pictures and share my CHA stores with you, including what scrapbook paper I love and adore the mostest. Ill give you a hint. Here are my top five hint style.....

One's on a bullivard.....One's an insect.....One's a little sassy...One's used for shipping....and....one's something you wear on the bottom half.
