We have been enjoying springtime around here! Last weekend was packed with fun activities.

Bike rides...


Vanessa seriously loves her tag-a-long bike!

Kite flying



Decorating Easter Eggs


Hunting Easer eggs


And, last but not least, Vanessa lost her first tooth! And that crooked little one next to it is hanging by just a tiny little thread at this point.

Vanessa's first soccer game!

And wow, she loves it! I had no idea my little girl would be so into this game. She got right in there and gave it all.


I hope you have a great day. We woke up to SNOW this morning- ready for that to be all over with :-)

The last day of March...already? It seems like March just started! So happy to see the springtime moving in though. Vanessa starts soccer practice tomorrow and this morning she discovered her first ever wobbly tooth! I can hardly believe it! Robyn seems to be growing 2x as fast everyday and is really into counting any and everything right now.

Just wanted to share a couple of recent spring photos today.

We had a wonderful tea party in the front yard


And the girls had a blast playing "teeter totter" on their hoppity balls together- totally cute and fun


I hope your day is great!

Happy Friday! And Welcome to Spring! (although it is rather chilly out there today around here)

I found some old photos I had printed out a long time ago in my dash to get a LOT of projects done for the upcoming Brenda Pinnick hour on QVC. Tune in at 5pm EST on Tuesday, March 24th~ some really fun new products will be premiered!

So, it is really hard for me to believe these photos are from 2 years ago! The day my little girl first discovered rain puddles.



Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring is coming! Hooray Hurrah! We are beyond ready for it too. What a beautiful weekend and today the spring sunshine continues! YAY!

The girls had a great time being able to get outside and play. Just a couple of photos of both girls from the weekend.

Robyn is really looking grown up lately...


except she still has that pudgy belly :-)


Vanessa on the go!





Have a great Monday!

I have been seeing this little pouty face quite frequently lately from Robyn...seems she is grown up enough to feel she is being slighted by her older sister. Lots of hugs and kisses and snuggles seem to cheer her up well though!



take care!

We spent the weekend with a lot of rain, but it was soooo nice to get the warmer weather! Vanessa named this puddle in our front yard her friend "Puddly" and did this cute little dance in it. Lovin' that spring is coming!!!



Have a great day!

Feeling a little old school and super simple today with this one.



Have a great weekend!

I took a quick few minutes to use that cute, smiley photo of the girls and here is the finished layout!



Have a great day

Hey there! Welcome to March YAY!

I have a couple of photos of my cuties to share today.

1. it's still cold, but we have been happy to see the sunshine a little bit!


2. I'm so proud of Vanessa reading books to her little sister! Just melts my heart!


I hope that your day is wonderful!

Just thought I share some of these super fun cards with you all!!










Have a great day.

In honor of all the snow we are supposed to receive tomorrow (again! ick)...I am really savoring these beach photos from the trip to California. I hope you all have a great weekend! we will probably be hitting that sledding hill again!

YAY! I bought my tickets today for the Dead in Chicago this May!! Wanted to take the girls, but decided me and the hubby will go out for a date!! YAY!

Hey there! I had a chance to do a quick layout today with a few of those beach photos so I thought I would throw it up here, in case anybody still stops by :) I have been super busy lately and neglecting the blog...I'm going to try to get back to being more regular about posting.

So, for today...."Beach"

We are back!

Thanks to all of you who stopped by our booth at CHA! It was a pleasure meeting many of you and seeing some of my "old" friends too. We are back in the office today working on catching up and still trying to adjust back to eastern time!

After CHA was over, Matt and I were able to spend a couple of days in California with the girls! YAY! Here are just a few photos to highlight our adventure.

First- the booth! My mom, me, and Lora at the start of the show!



Now for the fun photos...
We spent an entire day at Disneyland with the girls and they stayed on their feet for 10 hours- from open to close! I was amazed they lasted that long! Hard to pick just 3 photos to highlight the day, but here they are!

Marching up to the infamous castle!


They were both thrilled to meet a bunch of the characters, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale, etc...Here they are with Jasmine


And they both loved the Dumbo ride, of course!



The next day we took it easy and headed to Newport Beach. We were so lucky that it was in the 80s that day! Water was cold, but we all still got wet. The girls loved loved loved the ocean!





Yep, they definitely loved the ocean!




Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day

Packing up!

We just about have everything packed and are heading out for CHA. We are really excited about exhibiting for the first time and hope to maybe see you there!

I wanted to stop in and leave just a couple of more layouts. Also I have a peek at a really fabulous new card kit.






And, I am really in love with the color combos in this card kit by Justine.


Have a wonderful week!

Circle of Friends

The Circle of Friends line is one of my favorites because it is a collaboration of our friends and family that have made this line possible. I also like this line because of the unique and different styles and color usage brought together under one umbrella.
Here are a few cool projects from the Circle of Friends









And this fun little mini- yep, that is me as a little girl!







Have a great day!

a closer look
at Dena Designs- the broad sneak peeks for CHA are down below. I also wanted to show you a closer look at some of the Dena Designs product with these projects.

My favorite clear scrapbook that I have made:






Here are a couple of layouts for my brother and brand new sister-in-law from their wedding in Cozumel!

Thanks for stopping by! I'll keep sharing projects up until next week when I leave for the show. Have a great weekend.
