Even Rainee says I crochet more than I scrap... Anyway... all to say I'm hoping to have something scrappy to post.... yeah!! Can't wait to see

Sorry I haven't been around... I was working on getting things together for a small craft show at the beginning of December... and well... it's sort of went out of control. For the show, I made several of these cute owl hats... sold out of them... and I thought I was done. But, no. So many people wanted them, I started taking orders.... so every extra minute I've had has been making hats...

Long story short-ish.... our fridge went out... which led to a redo of our kitchen floor... which led to taking out the carpet in the dining/family room (where we have the computer).... which led to the internet being on and off for the last 3 weeks. So with no internet... I haven't been able to blog... as for cooking, well... it was almost non-existent... and Rainee's lunches did happen... but

Well, today's my Birthday!!! I love birthdays... and mine... well, of course I love it!!! I know getting older stinks... with all the aches and pains of growing older... but I'm not one who has a problem with my birthday or my age. For me, it's not just another day... it's a part of me... it shares my life's story. I love looking back and remembering. I think birthdays are the start for new

A friend of mine, just recently had her first grand-baby boy...  and although I've had her card made since the baby was born... I just couldn't bring myself to give it to her until I could make some baby CakePops for her to go along with.... I've been so grateful for this cooler weather, that I finally was able to make them for her. So here is her baby bottle card.... along

To{day}, I thought I'd share with you the "Welcome Autumn Gift" Rainee and I put together this weekend for her teacher. We made these cute little Owl & Pumpkin CakePops to put in this adorable CandyCorn Plate I bought at Target for a $1.00. Rainee is the best little helper... and she did such a great job with the sprinkles and putting on the green icing pumpkin vine and stems... We had such

I love the memories that summer brings... swimming in the pool... beach day Mondays... campfires at the beach... BBQ's with friends... air conditioning on sweltering hot days... playing in the sprinklers... squirt gun fights... poolside breakfasts... spontaneous picnics... story time at the library... and life in slow motion with schedule-free days... and although these days are carefree and

I had such fun doing the stamped bike card the other day... I thought with all my scraps I'd make a few mini cards. The cute little mini bikes are cut out of the Jillibean Soup bike background paper. This mini set cards are the perfect size (2.5"x4") for a little note and will make a lovely little gift for a friend.... Thanks for cruzing by today... Enjoy to{day} & your every{day} moments!

This photo is from a couple of weeks ago... when Rainee and I were playing in the backyard... when we saw 2 humming birds flitting around. They were coming and going so fast we could hardly keep up with them. It was such fun bird watching. They made our afternoon even more pleasant. I used SketchyThursdays sketch for this layout.. and... pattern paper: Jillibean Soup, solid paper: DCWV, kraft

Hello Monday - -  I hope your weekend was eventful.... I did a bit of cleaning and packing up a few boxes to move furniture - bookshelves, dressers and chairs... so I didn't get as much crafting done as I would have liked... but with the time I had I made a few cards. Today's card is made with the sketch with the sketch #39 from Cardabilities. I'm also entering it in a couple of 'anything goes

Every{day} I send little notes in Rainee's lunch box, but once a month I make her a new card to keep in a baggie for her lunch box. It's something she looks forward to because she never knows when it's going to just show up and make her lunch special. I love finding new was to use this calendar paper from Creative Café... plus I recently snagged these adorable Jillibean Soup tags (which I love

My prayers go out on this 10th anniversary... for lives lost... for those who survived... for loved ones families. I also pray for our country... our military men & women who have fought & died... and for those who continue to press on to protect our great nation... our freedom... so this will ever happen again. I will never forget...

I had a fabulous crafty and fun mixed in weekend. I was able to sit down and create — Rainee and I made cards... watched movies... and play games. Of course, I didn't get everything I wanted to done, but I'm happy with what I accomplished... oh, to be crafting again!!! Thanks for stopping by to see my card. I hope you had some time to be creative too. Hope the rest of your week is great!

First, you have to know my daughter loves loves loves Legos... and along with Legos she also loves... Star Wars... so when you put this combination together... it can be a bit hard to go to into a Target or Walmart store without stopping by the toy section without the agreement... we're not buying anything today... to which I know she's secretly hoping I'll cave and let her get just one thing..

Lately, I've had several baby shower's to go to and I've been enjoying making each one a little something... Along with the booties and headband, I added a little sunflower to the top (I bought) for a cute outfit. I also make a sunflowers hat, so if she didn't want to wear the headband... she had a hat. Love it! For the other gift I made sunflowers again... but with red this time...

For Rainee's school lunches... she's a PB&J-no J kinda girl (if you remember this layout). And because of this, her lunches can be pretty b-o-r-i-n-g... last year I made cut out heart sandwiches every day. But, this year I decided to step it up and make her sandwiches into something special... something she can't wait to open with a little surprise to enjoy... because let's face it... PB&J-no J

Every day I put some kind of little note inside Rainee's lunch... sometimes I write the note on her napkin... sometimes it's on top of her sandwich... she loves finding them. And she makes sure to tell me where she found it that day. But along with those notes,  each week I also make her a new card... and inside I put something encouraging to help her get through a difficult day or week.

Ever since Rainee started school (including preschool), I've made a mini book for her to keep in her backpack... for those days when she's having a rough time... or just misses her family. I know it's something she falls back on often throughout the year... because at the end of the year... it's pretty much thrashed.... Anyway... For this year's back-to-school mini I made the

My collections over the years have varied from watches to merri-go-round horse figurines... to teapots & cups... to Coke & diner things... to glass doorknobs... to scrapbook supplies. Our home is too small to continue collecting things. Although the doorknobs and a few teapots & cups are now decor around our home... sadly the rest are either gone or are boxed

After printing out the list, I found that a majority of them were something I could use to entertain Rainee... so I don't hear those dreaded words... "I'm bored" during the summer. So these photos are from our day

And this is my most recent find...  It's called a Pajak... A Polish Paper Chandelier... it's made with paper flower & straws... then when you look up into it... you see this amazing view... I love it! I might have to try one.

I've been wanting to do a layout about the changes I see in Rainee... every day there is something new changing with her.... her personality... her height... her confidence... her independence... even her smile with all those teeth she's loosing. She's really bloomed since she started school. And although I miss all the stages of her life that have brought her this far... I am excited to see

Rainee enjoyed every moment of taking care of the butterflies for Mrs. Baguyo. And when the time came to say good-bye... one butterfly just didn't want to leave... he stayed around enjoying Rainee's company. And I enjoyed watching and taking photos of them together. Thanks again Sharon... Rainee loved loved loved taking care of them for you! This was a blissful butterfly day! Enjoy

"Refrigerator Art"... every piece of artwork Rainee makes is a favorite... and each one finds a spot on our refrigerator. I love every piece of artwork and every sweet note she gives me... and it would be impossible for me to pick just one. So instead, I made a mini book of Rainee's refrigerator. Over the years I take photos of our fridge... but once Rainee started school, I decided to take

I've been wanting to use this background paper for awhile... but just couldn't figure out the right photo... until I saw this one... this photo of Rainee is one of my new favorite photos... She was out side picking flowers for me... smelling each one... and saying either "nope, not this one"... or... "yup, this one is perfect" ... I love the fact that she cared so much about not only how the

I love it when I see layouts of a child days away from turning one year older... they encourage me to do this... not just one year... but every year. Layouts/photos like this remind me of how fast time flies... because before you know it a year has come and gone... and every day is precious. They also encourage me to take more photos... because, you know, we all have photo of our child on

We've had doggie since she was a year and a half. We found him right before Christmas... when I was doing some last minute shopping at Kmart... and to keep her happy we went in the toy section to find a toy to

Happy Happy Birthday to my wonderful little Rainee... I hope today is extra special... enjoy it my little love... enjoy it! And before I go.... I wanted to say it's hard to believe it's been a year since my dad passed away. It's been a difficult year without him. It seems like just yesterday I could reach for the phone to tell him about something that was going on

Well last night, right before bed, Rainee came running in all excited showing me another tooth had fallen out!!! That makes 4 now!!! And of course I had to as a good mommy, document the event!!! As I laid in bed with her, after reading books... this was our new tooth conversation...   Rainee: Mommy, will another tooth grow back?  Me: Yes, why?  Rainee: I was just wondering, because the last

Rainee's 'real birthday' is on Thursday... but yesterday, as Rainee would say... we celebrated her 'fake birthday'... at Chuck E. Cheeses... something she's been wanting to do forrrrrrrever. But I've been putting off doing because well... for too many reasons... but we did it!!! And she loved it! Our party time was 1:30pm... but her day started at 6am... wanting to know when would be

When I worked at the Los Angeles Times, one of my favorite Thursday things to do was... scour through the Food Section. I couldn't wait for it. I'd read every part of it... add new restaurants to my growing list of places I needed to try... and I'd cut out recipes to make. Over the years... I've cut out so many recipes my little recipe box is overflowing with newspaper recipe clippings. Each

From the time Rainee was 4 months old until she was 5, I had been working full-time... Steve took care of Rainee during the day, then we'd switch... he'd go to work, and I'd take care of her. This worked well us... although my

Photo? Do you have one??? Well, I couldn't decide on one... how is that possible... I love so many!!! Photos of my parents... my siblings... my growing up years.... singleness... marriage... I couldn't choose... so instead I chose some of my favorite photo moments over the past 8 years... I haven't filled in the journaling... because I'm still mulling over what exactly I want to put in there..

With the whole blogger shutdown and losing my Thursday post I thought I would re-post this layout of Rainee with her best friend. This is one of my favorite pictures of them together... and like I said before (which is now lost in blogger's trash never to be recovered).... I have been sitting on this layout for weeks because I was afraid to journal on the page... and in the end decided to leave

I wanted to hand write something down on the bottom left corner... but I just couldn't bring myself to do it...

She couldn't wait to share it... so the next school day... she just HAD TO ride it... to show it off!!! It was the cutest thing watching her excitement with her friends... soooooo sweet!

With only 13 days of school left I thought I should start thinking about a Thank You Teacher card... So this weekend I managed to squeezed a tiny bit of scrapping in to make this card for Rainee's teacher. I think crayons and pencils are the perfect touch when it comes to anything school... so of course I had to use some on my card. Where did this First Grade year go??? I'm having a very hard

Rainee and I went to Home Depot for their kids craft... ran a ton of errands... cleaned the house... had a water gun fight... and watched movies... by the end of the day... we were exhausted... it was a very very full day.
