My Girl

I spent all day on this album yesterday, I forgot how long albums take! I haven't made one since I was teaching at our local scrapbook store.
I made this with a Fancy Pants chipboard album and our February Monthly kit.
The pictures are horrible, I'm used to scanning everything in so forgive me, it looks much better in person.

easter & emme

I spent all day today working on a mini album for the store, and I took a bunch of pictures but after waiting for 30 minutes to upload all of them, I gave up. So you will have to wait until tomorrow when I have more patience. So for now, you will have to put up with a couple of cute pictures.
Emme came to visit a couple of days ago, and Millie was enthralled with her guitar, she wanted to play it, hold it, touch it, and when Emme started to sing, she just sat there and watched.

Side note: Emily and Millie were both named after my Great Grandma Amelia. Millie's real name is Amelia, but we call her Millie, unless she's in trouble and she hears "Amelia Ruth!"

Here is the best picture I got this Easter, of course Owen isn't looking at the camera, but that's just him so I'm ok with it. Look at Millie's cute smile, I love how it looks like she is being protected by her brother and sister, right in the middle of them.

this is why...

...it has been so long since my past post!

Expo is just a month away, and we are working so hard to be ready, these
are just a few pictures of my basement.

Here is just some of our paper, there are 5 more of these, completely full.


Bazzill Swatches! It took me four hours to organize these swatches, a lot of the colors
are discontinued, so they sent us a thing to download and organize them all. They said it would
take an hour, they were wrong.


My shipping station in the basement. Jeff was sooo nice to set this all up for me, including a TV.


Our sign for expo, painted and all glittered up.

Some cute owls in a frame.

Our kits, there are about 3,000 but we got them all to fit on 3 tables!


Another shot of the kits. Yes we packaged most of these kits by ourselves. We did have a packaging party that was helpful, and my mom helped for a couple of days, but Lindsey and I have pretty much done this all on our own.


So now you know what I have been up to, and I still have a month to go!

Gracie's Birthday Pictures

Pictures of Gracie opening her ipod, she keeps asking,"am I the only 7 year old you know with her own ipod?" she thinks she's really cool.
