FINALLY I have some time, energy, and motivation to make something! It has almost been a week since I made something!!! Have you checked out Wplus9’s store lately? Dawn’s adding some pretty digital paper, an Easter digital stamp, and a Funky Flower digikit. For this page I used a lot of what’s in her Funky Flower digikit and some other stuff by Kasia Designs at Shabby Pickle (I think this Dandelion kit retired already). If you haven’t checked Dawn’s new stuff out, you should!!

The other stuff… I told you about the movers, right? Well the next few weeks I’ll also be busy with family, some travels <– I’ll tell you about this later, AND a visit from one AWESOME blog friend! Hmmm… should I tell?!?!?! She’s flying in the 23rd and will stay for a few days in my no furniture home, ha! We will be slumber partying it he he he… Here’s another funny party… she invited herself over. I love it! Well, I think I should keep it a secret on who it is… makes it more suspenseful, no? {::SMILE}

I think that’s it. I am pooped. I need to go to bed. Jovie is finally going back to her normal schedule again. I do need to find a crib through the next few weeks unless she gets use to the play pen. She doesn’t co-sleep very well. She’d wake up every other hour compare to every four hours or longer when in a crib and she snuggles up to me too which equals to me having a sore body each morning. Laters!

So here I am, pooped from dragging all sorts of empty boxes upstairs from the basement, sipping some hot cocoa (while it’s still chilly out) and thinking about all the exciting stuff that’s going to happen soon. For the longest time I’ve always wanted to live in Europe and wow, it’s going to come true in just over a month! The best part is that I’ll be sharing this experience with a great husband and the two most adorable and sweet kids. I kind of feel like I need to run around our house and yell: whoohooo!!! But I won’t… it’s dark and rainy first of all and I think our neighbors would call the police thinking something is wrong with us here.

I really have no idea what’s in store for us there but I really look forward to each and every one of them. A few weeks ago I was wondering what I’ll be doing there and today I have more of an idea in that department. I can’t share yet but hopefully soon enough I’ll have the courage to tell you what they are. As much as I’ve learned about myself and have an idea of what I can and cannot do, I am hard on myself and I do feel self conscious about me and new things.I also envision a different kind of blog. I’ll still be sharing my paper crafting creations but I want something more. Right now it’s not all that clear but hopefully it’ll be better.

Ok, I guess I’m not that talkative today. Before I go I want to share a picture… or two… my friend said according to the Chinese culture big ears are a sign of wealth. What do you think? My baby’s 9-mo-old and weighing at just a tad bit over 14lbs. She’s petite! I’ve been continuously playing with my light kit. I definitely need another one to even out the light.

Today I just want to share a card based on a sketch by Just Us Girls and sponsored by Wplus9. Great sketch and I loooove Wplus9’s stamps!! Oh, release #2 are coming up soon and I’ve gotten a sneaky peaky of them and they are FABULOUS!! Trust me! I cannot wait to get my hands on them and other goodies that Dawn of Wplus9 has in store!

So here’s my take on the sketch:

I used Funky Foliage for this card and some digi paper by Dysfunctional Design, Skwerm, at The DigiChick.

This is my first time playing at JUGS and it looks like they’re pretty busy there. If you haven’t come check them out and see what the DTs there create using Wplus9’s stamps!!

Good morning! It’s been a while since I’ve done a morning post! I woke up at 5:30 a.m. today. I was so tired last night that we all went to bed at 8:30p!!! That’s RARE! I made a couple projects, one for a challenge that Wplus9 will be sponsoring, and the above (using Funky Flowers by wplus9). I’ve been needing the relax me time!

Been MIA lately because of a lot of stuff: work, personal, and moving across the pond. I’ll give you details when it comes time but right now, I just want to say hello and share a project.

Okie dokie, got to go to work. Laters!

I FINALLY use my Bind-it-All. I got it over a year ago. M’s been wanting a diary — those fancy big girl ones — but they’re just too expensive for somebody who can’t write well yet. As you can see this book’s pretty simple. I used Kristin Cronin-Barrow, All About Him, paper for the base, Cosmo Cricket alpha (the apostrophe is American Craft), the birdie is Dear Lizzie, the flower is Prima and the crochet flower is one I made. This book is 3.5″ x 5″ and the BIA wires are the 3/4″ ones. I glued two pattern paper onto the front and back of a cereal box. It gives the front and back cover some weight. For the inserts you can use notecard paper or just regular printer paper like I did for mine. M likes to draw and write and she always takes a piece of my printer paper anyways so it wasn’t a hard decision. I think it took me 15-20 minutes to make this.

We’re hungry so I’ll make this sweet and short.

Oh, M want to write a message:
