Jaxson was born February 4th. He is such a good baby. His big brother is such a good helper!
I have already been back to my scrap space. Scrapbooked a layout about my boys.
Hope to post more, once we are in a routine!

New Year ~ Life Changes

Every year someone will ask you "What are your NY resolutions?" It is a pit fall in the end. Most people can not stick to the goal they have set. For me, it is something that I have to set into my life. Needs to be as easy as making that first cup of coffee. You could do it with your eyes closed. It takes practice to get there though!

When this baby comes, we will have change...and it will come fast! I can dream of a routine. Although, we know who will be running the show for a while :-)

After my body has recovered for the delivery, I am getting my body back. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes March of last year. Throughout this pregnancy I have been insulin dependent. My life change is to be insulin free, for life. Which means, eating right and exercise. Strict monitoring of my blood sugar levels.

Life changes...not New Years resolutions...

~ 6 Days ~




Wow! The last few weeks have blew past me! Keeping busy with baking, cleaning and creating.Not to mention spending quality time with Brayden! It has been nice to get a routine with him.
Another number I am shocked by....69 days till my due date! Yikes! Where has the time gone?
Here is a few pictures to celebrate the season!

'Tis the Season


So, here we are. Another joyful season! Can not believe it came so fast! Last night I was putting up this year's Santa's photo. I came across the previous pictures. Could not believe the changes in Brayden. I was startled to see that I was missing a year!! I panicked. How could I not have a Santa picture? Figured out what year, 2006. Realized that was the year that Shayne had taken Brayden to see him. Which was a work function, that also had Santa visiting! Needless to say, last night I ordered a 5x7 of that picture, before going to bed :-)
Spent some time last night, re-doing my wreath. Using items that were already on it. With some new poinsettias, it cost me $2.50 to re-do the wreath!
Brayden loves his advent calendar. Made it last year for a class. It just happens to fit Purdy's chocolates! Used QuicKutz to make the numbers. The pockets are die cuts, using the Accucut die machine at Photo Express.

Ooops

Well, it has been a month since I posted anything new! Yikes. Please forgive me. Life is taking me for quite a journey. I am 27 weeks along in my pregnancy. It has taken it's toll on me. Come the 30th, I will be off work. My body is saying it is time to slow down!

That leaves me some time before this little one arrives to BLOG! Please wait for new content to arrive...it will be fun to update this site. As it has been a while since I was a good blogger :)

A little festive fun....




Last Christmas I fell in love with the trees that were in Starbucks. I know alot of ladies that oohhed and ahhed over them. I was lucky enough to know a employee at one of the locations. Told her how much I loved them! When they took down the holiday decor, she brought me one to work! I had big plans for this tree!


Working in a scrapbooking store, I am surrounded by holiday spirit, starting in August! Last year there was this stunning release from Making Memories. I bought a bunch and did not use it! Again, there was a yummy release from MM. Bought more, but wait....I USED some!! Yes, I did. When I saw that the two line were made for each other, I was so excited!!


Pulled out my tree the other night. Carefully, took it apart. Counted all the pieces and measured. Once I cut all my pattern paper, it took just over an hour to assemble! All the pattern papers are made by Making Memories. With the exception of the odd piece of Bazzill Cardstock. The poinsettias are also from MM. The pearls are from Hero Arts.


I am in the holiday mood! Almost done making my Christmas cards...buying holiday decor...Falalalalala
