Good Morning!

Rise and shined to a white landscape here in farmington, utah.

My Max (toddler) saw the snow falling, he doesn't yell but in a lil hefty voice he says "NO snow, take a nap snow!" It's pretty cute even though we don't mind the snow. Love him. Ok, so my mind is not all here, joys of this week, joy of being a mom, and a multi tasker/perfectionist in more ways than one. Yet SO forgetful. Oh well.

Hello All!!!

I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Mine has been bittersweet.

My parents leave the country to Manila Philippines for a LDS temple Mission, we had our

early christmas party and their farewell as they leave soon.

I love my parents they are the most humble, kind, giving and helpful to everyone.

They are always helping several families, some refuge families, others who they meet,

or friends and family. They will be amazing in the Philipines and know they will fit in

and can't wait to hear the people who they meet.

So with this week finally here, I have been thinking of the darling theme for Primary this new year

"Families are Forever" and thankful for this knowledge and blessing we have. I made these

last week, i think it was, my days are meshing together. I wanted them to be short simple and colorful.

This message makes me happy and I hope it does for you.

With the sweet bittersweet week. I wanted to offer a discount for just a few days of these fabulous printables and also everything in my store of 30% OFF promocode

Stay tuned for new items for next years theme, lesson/scripture helps, FHE changes in my ETSY store,

and some life time goals that I am finally allowing myself to have or try my foot at.

Like my facebook page to be the first to hear of my new projects, childrens crafts, design tips, latest addition to my store, giveaways, contests.

I love the quote that says the things in life that get in the way are sometimes the shadows of ourselves or somthin like that. It is true. I know it has been for me. So, I hope you will join with me as I share more of me and my art with you and this journey on allowing us (you and me) to live our dreams. :)

Who likes pretty pictures? Raise your hand!

I LOVE pretty pictures. Clean, fresh, lively and simple that capture the subject and set the mood. Well, Every Now n then I do take some pretty pictures but I forget how to use my camera because I am not always around it. Sometimes its faster just to use my camera phone. Some things in life just get abandoned because we don't know how to fully use or control it. Like my sewing machine that I got from mothers day 2 years ago and have never used it.Yes, I hate to admit this but it is true because I have so many ideas and projects I want to do yet, it scares and it is a little intimidating and the thought of My Toddler, Max, "helping" me sew is a headache in its self.

So yesterday...

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

BEHIND THE SCENES

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I took a photo class yesterday from the amazing Katie Dudley (Photography).

At first we had a problem with my camera of the metering focus thingy

being locked in the top left area. So this one area was always the item in focus.

Anything closer to me was blurry. not cool. not pretty. not fun. very frustrating and

I was ready to cry. Thankfully Katie figured it out and on my way to a great day of learning tricks. I need to keep repeating to myself ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed and PRACTICE. PRACTICE PRACTICE.

NO more of this take some pics do good, 3 months pass, TRY taking pretty pics again,

getting frustrated cuz i forgot all that i learned previously and now all i get are blurry images.

Well I am happy to report I don't think I will need a photographer to photograph my babies.

Look what I was able to do. It is so fun and rewarding to see and get amazing results & understand what I need to do to get these results. Its all there for the most part we just need to know how to utilize the tools

(hmmm that liner goes towards a lot of things in life ).

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here we have busy boy get into everything, Max (2 1/2 years old).

He was too fast and I didn't get the dumping of scrabble

and tossing the bag but I did get this that lasted for a few seconds.

He loves his ABCs and knows and recognizes all his letters.

Then on his way to playing peekaboo with West (the pretty dog).

Some of these next pics of my darling Miles David and West together

are truly my favorite. I love that my boys are not afraid of big

strong, active, curious , powerful dogs.

Could he be any cuter?? Even with drool and sweet potatoes on

his face those eyes and smile just captivate my everything.

Oh how I love my "sweet potatoes". "Oh my Max"

and "Oh my Miles"

(all these pics are the raw original images. no photoshop, no cropping, no altering)

as natural as it comes baby! "Whipppeee" for me. I feel proud. In a nice way.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It's amazing what one can do when you really put your best foot forward.

think of what you are doing.

trusting yourself to get amazing results

(this is an ongoing battle at times in many areas of my life)

take the time to learn

allow someone else to teach you

(we don't know everything and we can learn many great lessons,

tips n tricks we didn't even think about when we get out of our comfort

zone..again we aren't just talking photography here.)

Just bite the bullet and do it!

Quit talking about it and just DO.

A saying me and my roomies "the 3 M's" Miss (me), Mem and Moe)

would use was: "Buck up (name), Buck up!"

If we want to be good or amazing at something WE got to do it.

I loved in conference the talk about flipping the switch, let the light in.

I believe it was Ucthdorfs talk. I love the whole concept of light when you really think

about it all & the symbolism that it has for the SUN and also the SON of our Heavenly father.

So, there's a lot in life that no one is going to do for us it is all up to us to do.

We have to act upon and flip the switch, want the light in our life

This is my lil reminder to myself to get my butt into gear! "COCO ATTACK"

-Well, I hope you have a fabulous day!

Good Morning, Good Morning to you and you and you and you...

Ya know how there are certain songs that just add to a better mood?

it only feels better if you are dancing or clicking your heels..yeah think Gene Kelly

and me singing, or trying to sing. but it feels good. I love mornings like this!

Especially when I can do a nifty move!

Which brings me to my post for today.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

LIVING WITH LUPUS

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

There are those trials that we bring on ourself by our agency and

pay the consequences or the others that are placed before us that all we can do

is take each moment, or each day at a time, hope for the best give all we can

physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually and not give up.

I was in an accident in May of 2000. No, it was not my fault.

With it I had some body aches, stiff neck, pain and thought over time,

like a few months tops I would be back to my "normal" hand standing crazy self.

I tried doing a handstand and collapsed, and knew something was really

wrong with me with such a sudden loss of strength.

A few months passed with more unusual pain allover, feeling beyond weak,

deep muscle aches, swelling, chest/lung pain, I was sensitive to the sun more than ever, terrible circulation, my fingers would get white and then blue, gray. I couldn't do much of anything. Everyday basics became very difficult like opening door knobs ( i have a funny story about this), even hugging others or people touching me hurt so bad that all i could do was cry and express begging them to not touch me. So sad and not fun at all to tell them this because you saw in their eyes how much they wanted to relieve me of this pain.

I had 7 months of no answers, back n forth ER visits, pain gallore. Finally a ER doctor that could direct me and had a answer. This was a huge relief to have a name to this, feel a lil better that I wasn't some weird unusual "wolf" thing, it was just lupus. What ever lupus is...

Lupus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease.

Simply, we all have an immune system. When we get sick we have antibodies

that fight the viruses. Well in lupus these antibodies not only attack the invaders

but also our healthy important organs they can't tell the difference. :(

When I was diagnosed I was working full time, going to school full time and had just a lil more than a year left, I was young, single and wanting to date. The Spring Student Art Show was around the corner and I submitted a few pieces. Surprised & shocked

I won "Best of Show" with this charcoal piece of mine of some darling old men.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

5 years of a complete hell that I do not wish upon anyone. I was 22 that walked

like I was 92 . This disease robbed a great deal of my life, time, goals, vision, health. Yet I learned many great lessons, my faith was strengthened, my sense of humor changed, focus and priorities changed as did my relationships with my family and many others and with my Savior. Thankfully I could continue to do alot for myself especially when it came to dressing and going to the bathroom—Oh yes the bathroom! OK this is funny! With my symptoms I lost a lot of strength in my fingers & hands and still today hard to open jars and turn door knobs. I finish in the bathroom, wash my hands and dry them, and I try to open the door. Yeah I couldn't open it. I was weak, tired, I yelled for my brothers to help who were downstairs. I laughed, I waited, I was bored...finally Justin came to my rescue asked if I was ok... I laughed and said I have been yelling for you guys because I can't open the door (as I am laughing). It hurt but it was truly funny. I made up a song called

" I hope I go into remission" in the tune of a LDS song

" I Hope they call me on a mission" I will have to share those lyrics sometime.

As of today, I have been off all drugs (13 pills) for almost 4 years now. I changed my eating habits, diet, exercise, and put my health into my own hands and had faith that it wouldn't last forever and there was more to my life to still achieve and have.

Being able to laugh at myself thru hard times has been my medicine

when life brings not the greatest times and to not give up, take each days as it comes.

Click those heels together (if you can) and enjoy all the things you do have or can do.

2013-04-09T16:49:00.002-07:00

Hello all. I hope you are having a fabulous tuesday.

So I have been redesigning my website and blog, and

I don't know about you, but I go back n forth of a few designs

I have created. Somedays it is SO hard to settle on a design

when it comes to represents MOI. Anyone else out there like this?

I hope so..raise your hand to make me feel better. haha

So this design will have to do until I do finally pick and quit changing my designs.

OK. Well today I thought let's improve one thing right now.

Where I can DO & BE better.

Better in what?? you may ask

POSTING!

I will do my best. "baby steps" right?

talking about "baby"

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

check out my new profile pic. It is sort of old.

My cute, 2nd "sweet potato" is just a few weeks old.

He is now 8 months old.

CRAZY! How fast time flies.

SO, I am a firm believer everyone has a story to tell.

We all are here to learn some great many things and to SHARE

many great and wonderful things that only we can do. So with that said
I want to share more of moi, who I am, my craziness and completer randomness,etc.
But I need some "follow suit" of organization with my random chaos thoughts so

I will be having new themes or things I post about every now and then.
I hope you like this new change and idea. I hope you will add to it
and share with me what you have learned, or feel free to email me or post
pictures of the cute printables you have from my Etsy shop.
I would love to see!

Fall is here!

2012-09-25T10:45:00.003-07:00

Holy Cow! It has been a LOOOONG time since my last post!

Well well well I do have my new baby here, Miles and he is DARLING! Just saying! He came August 17th. It was a very short fast delivery and stay at the hospital which= happiness in my book.
However I forget about hte post baby things that can have a not so pleasant feeling and dealing with.
My Miles was not grasping on (correctly) to my boobies a few days after we got home. Which meant I got bigger, and infected with Matistits (?) NOT FUN!!! I looked like i had porn boobs or dolly parton boobs, they were so heavy, so sensitive, I had to take a shower and as I was crying of the amount of pain it was I had to literally hold my boobs up to have some relief. My Miles was trying So many times to latch on and he could n't hence being to big. I felt SO sorry for him it was making me cry and very frustrated , he was going hungry, I was in pain, it was so hard to see him try so many times and then it not work for him. That was the most heartbreaking thing about it.

truly it was the worst pain and never knew my boobs could hurt that BAD! THANKFULLY I learned about this Nipple "Shield". I called the lactating nurses where I delivered, went in for a lil help and she showed me this nifty tool/product. I cried I was so happy this was so much easier, he latched on like a charm, I was getting the relief I needed. Overall happy! This Medella nipple shiled acts as a suction cup and nipple extender. PURE GENIUS! It is made out of plastic, rubber and sticks on to your bare skin. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! So grateful for it!

It is amazing what we go thru for these cute lil babies of ours, but I am a firm believer my breast milk is best for my lil one. I don't want to do formula til he is older and if I have to. I love what it does for him and helps me too. There is a sweet bonding feeling too that is unexplainable unless you have breastfed. I truly love many aspects of being a mom, having a newborn here,

So with this New baby, my favorite time of year, FALL, and because I can I have a great Giveaway going on right now for a FULL DIY PARTY PACKAGE from my shoppe. Oh Yes! it is true.
Go like my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Miss-Missy/137856202952680

AND like the post where it is mentioned to like (you have to make a comment or like post to be entered).

...
I know many of you know that I have lupus and I have been writing a post about it, editing it ( i have a tendency to go on tangents), and it is almost done hopefully soon. I find it interesting what is given to us while we are here on earth. what we let get us down or interefere with our happiness and those trials that pick us up and never give up! I wish some of these smaller things were as "easy" to deal with as my trial of lupus was/has been.

well, here is a cute picture of my lil one just after bath time :)
hopefully i can stay a lilmore consistent with posts and get on to doign more hands on crafts..ahh so many things I want to do :)

2012-05-24T10:55:00.000-07:00

Hello, So this weekend are you ready for your BBQ to celebrate and remember the fallen heroes of all kinds. Those who have served this country and those who have passed on and "served" in many other ways.

I feel blessed to know that I will see those who have passed on again and that gives me and i know many others great comfort. There is more to this life and more to when we pass on. We just aren't there on the other side to know all that it encompasses. Life is hard and will always be hard...we all will die and experience the beauty and the more that this life is all about.

to all the fallen heroes to help this country continue to be the USA and the lives that we have lost. Thank you!

I thought it would be quite appropriate to make some cute toppers to help celebrate this weekend, well monday and made it affordable for all. $5 for a 8.5x11 PDF Printable.

Visit my etsy shop to get yours HERE...

https://www.etsy.com/listing/100563944/memorial-day-toppers-diy-printable

I know it can be hard times, SO I wanted everyone who came in sight with this to afford it!

a download for you to have here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19042490/MemorialToppers.pdf

and now for easter on its way...MUAH! Love this time of year :)

It's been awhile- and some Kentucky Derby themes

2012-02-28T10:16:00.000-08:00

Wow, It has been a looooooong time since I wrote last. First trimester is over (YAY!) and I feel like I def have more energy and not as sick as I was...but now heartburn has been visiting alil more frequently and not fun. I didn't get this way til the last 2 months of my pregnancy with Max. Either way I will get a prescription for heart burn. I dont need it any worse.

We got back from our first family road trip..and of course we went to of all places Disneyland. Yes, over presidents day! It WAS SO BUSY!! But fun to see my boys face! HE loved it! Still pretty young to take it all in, but I was overall impressed of how he was in a hotel crib, new place...Next time I will get him a separate room so the husband and i can stay up .

So...I have been busy with some fun things and wanted to share..
I created some book covers for shannon foster of theredheadedhostess.com blog..Now available for Easter Gifts and just a nice study guide for all of "Names of Christ" it has 70 names she included to disect, study and then a few extra spots for us to find more! I truly can't wait to get my copy. See covers below :)

...

Also, I recently just got done (like an hour ago) with a darling Bridal Invite. The theme: Kentucky Derby (which includes fancy dresses, hats, roses and feathers) so here is what I came up with. It will be fun to see which one the customer chooses. SO fun! I love what I do! I had so many different styles in my mind that I coudlnt get them all down fast enough, but here they are: Enjoy!

Do you have a favorite?

Also, if YOU want a custom design for your next party event..message me I would love to help you with yours. They start at $15 and depending on a few details go up to about $35.

Guess What??

2012-01-26T16:35:00.000-08:00

We are making it a little more official , with a design of course, hopefully it's not too small of text to read it, if so maybe you need to go to the eye doctor..hehehe jk ;)

New Year, NEW YOU!

2012-01-03T15:00:00.000-08:00

Hello All and WELCOME 2012!

My 2011 was actually a good year but I love looking forward to new changes, new adventures, new opportunities and NEW BABIES!! I am prego and so excited for this lil spirit to get here!
So far this pregnancy has been a lil different from Max, my first. I have been so nauscious, no appetite, so moody and hormones are flying and my heart burn has started early (NOT COOL) My own thoughts are that i am prego with a girl or twins because i have been so MOODY...haha I am due mid August.

So, with all these new becommings, a new year is a great way to get myself in order.
Last year is old news and the past..."it doesn't matter", this is true to a degree..because of all we have learned in the past year is why this year is going to be that much better. We gain wisdom.
I am excited for it all..and hope YOU are too.
As i have worked in design I did a campaign a few years ago called, NEW YEAR, NEW YOU, this is not that new too many and hear and see this slogan many times in advertising but with it I still love what it encompasses. Leave all the bad negative things you dont like about 2011 and grasp 2012 by its horns and take control of YOUR weaknesses.

I am a freak control...or control freak (thank you pregnancy mind) an there are many aspects that I LOVE controlling. Especially my mind! This last year I dealt with something that has never bugged me before or never did I let it before..It was what others did, said, or didn't do that I let interfere with or override my happiness. I loathed this aspect and I believe that being home and not busy enough was part of this reason of why it BUGGED. Our minds are powerful things and the less we worry about what others think and do the more AMAZING, productive, positive, motivated we are and will DO Incredible things and I believe who we are supposed to be and NEED to be.

Thanksgiving Dinner DIY Printable Set

2011-11-09T11:36:00.000-08:00

i am a great big lover of thanksgiving! gathering as our immediate family or with the extended "small" utah family of more than 100 (that is just my fathers side). I love the smells, the laughter and joy of having family together. my favorite meal by far is thanksgiving dinner! YUM! YUM!

it is a special time of year, and a great way to add to this beautiful presentation of a feast, is make your guests feel extra special with adding some personalization. I made this thanksgiving set to add to the sweet spirit and gratitude of this holiday. Have personal name placements , a thank you or tag that can go around a lil gift or napkin and highlight the dessert table with dessert signs.

It is a fun simple beautiful way to tie everything together. So pretty!

If you have some family traditions we can def make things to fit your day, How about "I am thankful for" cards, the menu or program, name placements, cupcake toppers, tags, thank yous, dessert/entree signs or a welcome sign. The ideas are endless.

i am very much looking forward to thanksgiving. I went cold turkey (hehehehe- perfect phrase for this time of year) and have not been drinking soda or eating any treats, it has been a week now and I am doing pretty darn awesome! My free day to eat is thanksgiving day :) so yes I am counting down to eating some pumpkin and apple pie together with some whip cream and carmel sauce and maybe some pecans sprinkled on top!

Early Bird Christmas Sale 25%OFF

2011-10-25T21:38:00.000-07:00

Goodness where has my mind gone. I posted it on facebook and we can't forget about my blog :).
We have about 2 months before Christmas (crazy to think this year is on its way out-WAY to fast!) and it is still some what early.....so I thought I would give all you somewhat early shoppers a discount to my store. It is 25% OFF! Since Christmas falls on the 25th and all I thought it would be appropriate and a lil higher than 15. I made a cute shop banner to announce the sale. It is pretty cute! lovin that red bird on the branch with a lil present in his mouth, and the colors. I love this red blue color palette-if you haven't noticed.

More Christmas Designs

2011-10-24T14:02:00.000-07:00

I have been slacking a lil bit in posting the many designs for christmas cards & designs. I have so many fun ideas I can't get them out fast enough or catch my baby fast enough when I am changing his diaper. The joys and so goes life eh?

so here are some of the latest :)

Christmas Jubilee

2011-10-24T02:45:00.000-07:00

Good Morning!! obviously I can not get to bed. All sunday I had a headache, I was in our car heading to grandmas and still had htis headache. So around 7:00pm I took some pills that have some caffine in it. Word to the wise....You shouldn't take these from 5-8 hours before bed time. Hence me being up still, but I am happy to report the headache is gone. Being a mom and all, sometimes you dont get alot done during the day..so taking advantage if you will. I have been able to get SO much done since max and hubby is asleep. Won't be very cool when I go to sleep and see how much sleep I do get.

happy to announce I have added a few things here-n-there of more Holiday cheer. From more designs for your Family Holiday cards to Already Printed and presenting my Mister snowman from a birds view Card & Sticker set.

I love these. I did these many years ago. Loved the design and felt this has never been done before from this perspective. So, I got me a fancy expensive lawyer and got them copyrighted. I have made these cards & stickers! So cute, Right?! I love them. They also make some darling cookie decorating and cupcake designs, wood cutouts, and fabric details.

I have been selling them around the holiday season and now listing them for you to enjoy!

It is a limited stock. When they are gone they are gone. I am only posting a few at a time.

If you would like them in larger qtys email or message me on here or my etsy store and we can see if we can get you how many you need!!

have a great monday!!! Hopefully I can get to sleep here soon!
