Scrappy Saturday - Good-bye January

Thought I would start the new calendar with a snow picture from January. It was nothing like the snow we got yesterday, but it was still lots of fun! The snow is almost all gone now. Crazy to think we had about 6 inches on the ground yesterday. January: Feathers and Mittens kit by Studio Lorie Scrapbookgraphicsand frame from Frosted kit by Michelle Coleman

Wish List Wednesday - Resolutions and a Final Farewell to 2010

For this Wish List Wednesday I'm going to list my resolutions...cause they are kinda like wishes...just ones that I'm going to do everything in my power to grant to myself.

1. I wish to lose this baby weight...and then some. I got back on Spark People this Monday and the plan is to lose at least 50 pounds...but I would be happy with 40. I did it in 2009, I can do it in 2011. I have to...cause my sister is getting married in 2012 and the other 5 girls are adorable little stick people. Seriously don't want to be the potato standing with the sticks.

2. I'm not really a Christmas fan...I used to be...but the stress has almost killed me for the past 3 years. I'm done...my next wish is to have all Christmas shopping DONE by Thanksgiving. My current oath is that if it is not bought or made by Thanksgiving, it's not getting bought or made, unless I'm making you something that has and experation date...like the yummy shortbread I made for my father. I think this will cut my stress in half...at least...cause I won't have to brave the crazy Christmas crowds at the mall or go crazy searching for stuff online. It's not that I don't enjoy giving, it's just that I get really stressed out trying to think of the absolutely perfect thing. I just want to be able to sit back and enjoy the season.

On to more fun stuff! Here is the final calendar page for 2010.

December: Happiest Season on All by Everyday Mom Ideas and Template #245 from Designs by Andrea Gold

I made a cute slide show of the year on photobucket...but I wasn't able to figure out how to get
it to show on my blog. However, should you want to see it, the tiny image is linked.

Hope everyone has a fantastic 2011. Hugs!!

Good-Bye November and Wish List Wednesday

Good-bye November you were fun...welcome, stressful, event packed December. Thankfully the tree is up and seeing the lights twinkle calms me and makes me smile. November: Stamp Frame: Blessings by Meredith Cardall Designs, Green Double Frame: Harvest Spice by Shabby PrincessThankful word art: Thankful Blog Train by Rosey Posey StudioBackground: November 2009 Digital Freebie by Two Peas in a Bucket

On to my wish item for this week! I just LOVE these Advent Calendar Elves from Garnet Hill!

Aren't they cute? When I saw these I thought, "If I were really talented I bet I could make one of those." Then I laughed...cause I'm totally not that talented!

Speaking of making stuff, I started a new blog: will craft...tomorrow.

It's basically my to do list. My internet favorites list was about to explode all over the place and was making me cross-eyed. Listing all the tutorials I want to complete on a blog seemed like much more fun. I made it mostly for my sanity, so I won't be insulted if you don't visit it, but I figured I would share anyway, just in case you needed more to do. ;o)

Scrappy Saturday - Calendar Catch-up

I've been just a tad behind on my calendar pages, so I'm playing a little catch-up today.

August: Killian by Kimael

September: Backyard Play by Everyday Mom Ideas and Stamp Frame by Ameyasa

October: Funky Halloween by Nini Goes Digi

Good-Bye July and a Special Order

Just a tad distracted this month. ;o) So here is July...almost a week late.

Star Frame by Rachael

Also did a special order for a baby shower last month. Includes 3 burp cloths, a bib, a onesie and a binkie clip.

Made my first binkie clip. I plan on making a bunch for Nox...these are the only kind that ever worked with Munch.
Also planning on making a cowboy onesie for Nox and a cowboy shirt for Lyndon...cause I kinda love how this one turned out.

In other news I've completed the bumpers for the crib...just need a mattress so I can take pictures. Want to convert Munch's mobile into something Rock and Roll for Nox, but haven't quite figured that out yet. I'll totally welcome any ideas. :o)

Good-Bye June and a Couple Pregnant Pages

I decided that I will be making at least a bumper for the crib, so while I'm waiting for the stuffing to arrive I have a little time to do other things...like a couple orders I need to fill AND my pregnancy scrapbook. Should be pretty relaxing in comparison to what I've been doing.

First is my Good-Bye to June...a little late, but better late than never.

Good-Bye June completed using Tendre comme Papa kit from Imagine by Fran

Next up some pregnancy pages. I'm 32 weeks today and offically 8 months...SO, I have a TON to catch up on!!

Good-Bye May

Another month over...and another month closer to boy #2! The pictures below were taken at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. It was lots of fun but I ended up with my first case of chigger bites....nasty little things.

Good-Bye April

I can't believe May is already here!! Seems like this year is really flying. Have to get my butt in gear and start really working on getting ready for Lennox...including his scrapbook!!

Wish List Wednesday and Goodbye March

I feel like I've fallen so far behind, that I might never catch up. It seems like all I've been doing is trying to organize my millions of "To Do" and "To Get" lists that I haven't actually done anything productive. So in honor of my insane list making, my wish for this week is to get these pads.

They are available through etsy at Finch and Hawk.

And now a small farewell to March. I can't believe 3 months of 2010 have passed already. This year is completely flying by!

Hopefully April will be a little more productive!

Good-bye February and Wish List Wednesday

I think I'm slightly in denial. I cannot believe it's already March! Two months have already FLOWN by.

And this week on Wish List Wednesday...I wish I could knit, because I would make a few of these for baby Lennox. Just for pictures and maybe for cold winter nights, but mostly just for pictures.
Just in case you are lucky enough to know how to knit, the pattern is available at All You Need is Love. Feel free to make one for me too ;o)

Good-bye January

I can't believe it's the end of January already. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything yet. Hopefully February will be a little different. The layout below is for our calendar, which starts in June. Originally it was March, because that's when we moved in together, but one year I was super lazy and got super behind. So now it's June :o)

Mama's Supermen

Our calendar starts in June...it originally started in March. I put it together when we first moved in together. Somewhere along the line I must have missed the deadline and it became June...

Anyway, I'm working on this years calendar and this is my June. The background was done using Photoshop and a neat sky photo I had taken a while back. I love my Supermen photos! :o)
