Teresa Collins and SEI *Family Album*

Earlier this year my Sister in laws Sister (follow me? lol) had a little girl. She posted some FABULOUS photos on facebook that I was just dying to work with so I had her send some to me!

When I first made this album I didn't love it. Since then it's grown on me quite a bit!! I used an awesome album from SEI and used some Teresa Collins paper.



Finished it off with some Basic Grey stickers, ribbon and a 7 Gypsies charm!

Thanks for looking and Happy Saturday!

I *heart* MME Blackbird!

I really really do!! Every October I feel this rush of creativity and MUST alter things for halloween. This year was no exception and the line I chose to create with was MME Blackbird.

First up are a couple cards *gasp*! Yes, I made cards!!



This one says "from the Boo Crew" on the inside hehehe

Next are these fun Bottle Caps from Maya Road. I used a magnet on the back of them to turn them into refrigerator magnets. The guys and I had fun moving them around each day in a different arrangement, but I think this ended up being my favorite.


Last but not least is this Haunted House I made, also Maya Road and MME!

It was featured this week on the My Minds Eye Blog!! You can see more photos of it HERE

Have a great weekend!! We have a double header Saturday and birthday parties on Sunday.

She's Crafty..

Last year I was contacted by the super talented and sweet Becky Fleck of Page Maps to create a layout for her new book Page Maps 2. I was beyond excited as this is my first official publication in a Mag/book!

FINALLY, I can share the layout I created for her..




It's goofy, it's silly, it's typical me right?! I had just gotten the Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend line and was oh so in love with it!

I received my Layout back last week and then this week I got the book!! I'm still beaming over Becky's praise and really just the opportunity to be included with her and all the other talented ladies in this book, especially my friend Mandy Starner!

Anyways, here you can see my layout in the book!!






If you're a scrapper make sure to pick it up, I can be found on page 60 and be sure to check out my mini-bio in the back of the book as well!

It's quiet in here...

If you don't have children...I don't think you appreciate the quiet like a Mother does...I'm just sayin'!

It's been a busy summer (as usual!). Although, when don't I keep myself busy? We drove 2500 miles to and from Idaho...Here are some of my fav photos from the trip.

Random Farm house taken at 55 MPH, because Danny wouldn't hardly STOP for anything.


Grandpa and Wil


Wil trespassing in someone's Wheat


Spongebobs house (Look Danny stopped and I was so confused I took a crooked picture lol)


Wil Fishing


And so many more...It was a long drive but I'm glad we made it! Wil says the best part was shopping. hehehe

This weekend I had Little League Sign ups and what a nice surprise I came home to, I won an award! Don Ferrarsse gives out a volunteer of the month award. My Mom nominated me and I won a $75 gift card to Outback Steak House....Yum!

Wil's been at his Grandmothers since Wednesday, enjoying the break but not enjoying the hard work to get him back into his routine before school starts on Monday.

Well, enjoy your week!!

This is how we do it..

Wil has been talking non stop about these pancakes...seriously lol He didn't see me making them and can't figure it out. I've seen people use cookie cutters and pancake molds but I just put the batter into a frosting bag and piped it onto the griddle in the letter/shape I wanted. I did a Star and heart for Wil and a Happy face and heart for Danny.






Yes, I call my husband Bun lol. It started as Hunny, then Hunny Bunny, then Bunny, and Bun for short.

When we were little, my Mom used to tell us she made us special pancakes...my brother got puppies and rockets..and I got kitties and flowers. Oddly enough, they all looked round? lol

I love weekend breakfast time with my family...it's special..try it!
