Oh, what I could do with a scrapbox, I could finally make my room back into a room , and maybe even have access to my master bath if my desk didn't block it... lol...

My challenge entry on the Pazzles craft Room.

  They have started doing challenges so I decided to enter into one, it was very last minute but I like how it turned out.  The challenge, to make one of the pazzles past projects you haven't made before.  I decided to make the Easter purses, but with a twist.  My daughter is really too young to have the paper baskets, so I wanted to make one for my son.  I didn't want to do anything girly, so I used a dinosaur theme in it.  Took me the longest to figure out the paper I wanted to use.  :)

  I think on Easter I'll give it to him with an egg containing a dinosaur. 

Finally back!

So, I have been down and out from surgery the past few weeks and haven't gotten to do much but the past few days I've really been in here trying to catch up on some of my kids books.  This is what I've done.

This first one is of my daughters second month, I do a page for each month for the first year, and then after that I do whatever.  :)  I like how this one turned out.

This second page was of her 4th month.  I created the boy in my PI, and the girl was a file I got from the craft room.  I like how he turned out.

This is one of my favorites, I made the ducky, and got the bath file from the craft room.  I love the paper, my hubby went and picked it out for me the other day, he said it shows how much he loves me since he was the only big soldier man in the isle looking at 12x12 packs of glittery paper lol....

My new early valentines present

So, my camera broke and I turned it in to get fixed but apparently it couldn't be fixed so they authorized me to get a new one.  Hubby went in to take care of it for me and got me the COOLEST camera I've ever had.  I've been eyeballing the SLR's for a while but haven't had luck in being able to afford one.  ANyway, he came home with the Canon Power shot SX30 IS and so far I love it.  Only been able to play a little so far as I just had surgery this week and still can't really move around a lot.  I did take a few photos of the dog and the kids, and boy what a difference.  He said it's my early valentines present.  He was going to make me wait but, even he can't wait that long, he wanted to play with it just as much as I did.
I am still pretty sore after surgery and so I haven't been on here crafting as much but I do have high hopes for the next few weeks, I can't really do anything else.  :)

New Years Resolution

Well I've never really been one who believed in New Years Resolutions because I figure why wait till the new year.  The average person decides to change and sets a date to start.  It's rediculous, why would you wait instead of getting a jumpstart on things.  Especially the weight loss ones, why stuff your face and make it worse just because it's the holiday season when you could start the day you decide and lose starting then.  Even if you did it for every meal except Christmas dinner it still would be better than trying to take advantage of those last few weeks of eating whatever you want.
Anyway, off my soapbox.... I decided last night that I am going to change things.  I need to fix a lot, and start acting like I'm not just floating through life without any purpose other than making sure the kids are taken care of.  I have lost myself in housewifedom.  It's time to take a look at what I want to do with myself, and actually do some things to become what I want me to be.  It does involve losing weight, about 15 pounds.  I would be back to my pre pregnancy weight of 110.  I am going to get myself on an exercise routine and an eating schedule.  I am going to look into what I want to be when I "grow up" lol and maybe go to school. 
This is going to be great.  My plan is to become a runner... maybe... lol if I can.
I have a few other things too, too many to list.  But it's going to be great.  Starts NOW.

Happy New Year!

Can you believe it's already 2011!  Oh where does the time go?  well It's been busy around here and I'm late in posting my final projects of the year. 

I made this one for my daughters scrapbook.  It happened she was 3 months old in July, so I used the 4th of July theme on it.  I designed the bear in my Pazzles software, and welded the title.  I like how the bear turned out.

I made these other two pages for her book too, the first is the title page of her book, with her newborn photo and name.

This one is her 8 month page.  She loves her saucer and it's jungle themed so I thought I'd tie the page in with the pictures.  Not my favorite page ever but it'll do.  I feel like it's missing something.

Well, that's all I've done recently.  I am going to be doing some more hopefully soon, it's going to be a lot easier now that the holidays are over.  Thanks for reading.

Happy New Year!!!
