Last Saturday after the baby shower we stopped a field that is close to my house. I took some pictures of the girls chasing butterflies. I love these two pictures of Lacey so much! I can't believe how fast my girls are growing! I was thinking the other day I quess I need to have another baby so I'll have someone to photograph......LOL Well maybe not..... but babies are so sweet and I LOVE THEM!

I am enjoying Spring Break this week. It feels so nice to actually be a home for a change. I think tomorrow we're going to ride to the bookstore and see what photography books I can find. And what's up with this cold/windy weather?? Glad I'm not camping out with the family this week...

Tonight we made peanut butter cookies. yummmm They are almost gone...;)

Reading Frenzy

Ever go on a reading frenzy? I have lately. We started a book club at church and it's been so much fun! Since Clint is the head of it I get to read all the books before the others. Sweet. These are two GREAT books to read! You should definitely read them!! I am in the middle of Fireproof right now and I think it would be a lot of fun to take the "love dare." Hopefully I can talk Clint into doing it! Wish me luck!

It's so beautiful here today. I am off to a baby shower. Have a wonderful day!

New Photo's

Lacey on the trampoline

Haley found a bird nest.

Well as most of you know I recently bought a new camera. It's a canon rebel xsi. It really is an awesome camera. I recently upgraded from a $100.00 HP camera so you can only imagine how thrilled I am! I'm sure you will be seeing more photos in the future because I can't wait to share them! If anyone has any photo tips or know of any websites that would be helpful to me I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thank you for sharing my joy!!!!!!

Cute Camera Straps

I just ordered this adorable camera strap for my new camera. Yes you read that right. I am now the proud owner of a new canon camera! Click for more cute straps.

A Must~ Read

There isn't a whole lot I can say about this book besides the fact that it's a GREAT book!! Please, if you get time, read it! I highly recommend it. And if you've read it let me know what you think. I can't wait to buy Fireproof this weekend! Night!

My New Toy

Today my dear sweet husband surprised me with this new computer. Needless to say I am more than thrilled! It's about time. Don't ya say? :) No seriously, I am so thankful to be updated. My old laptop had seen better days and i am so exicted to be able to work with my photos again. I am beside myself! Have a great night!

Busy Bee's

Here is the new paper rack that Cathy gave me for my birthday. Isn't it heavenly? A local sb store went out of business and she bought 3 of the racks. It was sad to see it go but I'm glad I have a rack. Actually I could use two ;)

The spread.

clipboards

post it note holders

altered 2 year calendars

bookmarks already pre-wrapped

more bookmarks with ribbons

red and black altered picture frame

altered "My Friend" picture frame

Cathy and I have been very busy bee's lately!! We've been working so hard on the craft show! I worked all day in the craft shack. 10-6!! I sure hope all this hard work pays off!! So what do you think about all the goodies? Do you think they will sell? If you have any tips or suggestions please leave me a comment! I'd love to hear what you think about pricing, display ideas, etc...!

So far I think I have around 20 bookmarks, 2 altered picture frames (more to do!), 32 clipboards, 14 large post it note holders, 40 small post it note holders, and 10 (2 year) pocket calendars. I am going to order checkbook holders online and do a lot of those to sell.

Cathy is making cards, ribbon holders(well daddy is making them), name plaques to hang on the door or wall, large altered clothespins, large altered chipboard shapes for walls or doors. She is mainly focusing on cards because she makes them so fast! She is also doing gift bags. Well that's it for now. We are having a fish cookout tonight at a friends house so I better get running! See you next time!

Birthday Cake

Isn't this the cutest birthday cake EVER? Thank you Sandy! It was so good. The girls are having a piece as I write this. You girls made this birthday one of the funest ones ever! Had a great time shopping too! (wink)

I've been HAD~!

Yes I've been HAD! Cathy and Sandy paid a little visit to my house, driveway and road today. They made signs and put them out for all the world to see that I'm turning 30 tomorrow! I think it's so funny and incredibly SWEET! I got the biggest kick out of it. I had no idea they had a little "project" going on. :) I think the signs are adorable. They even used their new handy dandy cricut expression machines for the signs. See the birds and flowers?

Girls.... you just wait, your day is coming ;) Be prepared! hahaha

Cathy's Creations

Check out the cute scallop heart card that Cathy made today. They are just too cute for words. She bought these little stamps from the stamping show we went to in Atlanta last weekend. Now I wished I had bought some. ;) Well maybe she will let me borrow hers. Or there is always next year right??!! ;)
Now this card is too cute! It's a folding circle card. Just to precious! It's actually 5x5. I love the little bird stamp!!

This is also a stamp that Cathy bought at the show in ATL. You actually put a little tea bag inside. How neat is that??!! You can not see it but she added green/glittery embossing powder to it to make it POP. Again... so cute! Check her other cards out here
