Did you miss me?

Hello Friends! I'm sorry that I've been MIA, but I have been SO tired lately. This little girl in my belly is growing and growing, and it's making me more and more tired! :-) I haven't crafted in weeks (I'm putting a stop to that today!), so the blog has been really quiet. To get you a little caught up, I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant - we're in the home stretch...the last trimester! I'll be taking an update photo tomorrow so you can see the baby bump! Last weekend we were in Orlando for my husband's family reunion which was REALLY fun! Last night we went to a birthday party at BB King's which has great food and a phenomenal live band! We danced all night! Hmmm, maybe that's why I'm so tired! LOL! So, that's just a brief update on what's been going with me the last few weeks.

In the crafty world, I recently had two cousins that had baby boy's so I made cards for both of them.

For both of these cards I used some older Cosmo Cricket paper and I didn't use stamps on either of  these cards. Hopefully my cousins will like them, and I'm sure they will love the gift cards that are inside! LOL!

 

Well, that's it from me today. Like I said earlier, I plan on getting crafty today so hopefully I will have more to post soon. And, don't forget a new baby bump photo will be posted within the next couple of days, so be sure to stop by again soon! Have a great weekend!

More birthday card goodness

Hello Friends! How was your 4th of July? Mine was excellent! We went to my brother-in-law's house and his friend won a 4th of July bash from a radio station! They had a food truck with the BEST hamburgers and hotdogs I've ever tasted, they brought a DJ from the station and we jammed all night! Talk about FUN!!! Yesterday, I got a much needed massage and ran a few errands. Saturday night we met some friends for dinner at our favorite seafood restaurant and stuffed our faces until we couldn't eat any more! So, needless to say I had a great weekend!

In crafty news, I have the last two birthday cards to share with you today.

 

I used the Rosie Posie stamp set from Papertrey Ink along with a musical note background stamp from Hero Arts. I heat embossed the musical notes, die cut the shape for the flowers, added ribbon and the sentiment to the bottom. I was able to whip this card up pretty quickly and I really like the way they turned out.

 

Well, I hope the rest of your Sunday is fantastic! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Baby Bump Update

Hello Friends! Happy day before the 4th of July!! :-) I hope you all have fun and exciting plans for the holiday! I'll definitely post about my holiday over the weekend. Today I have a new "baby bump" photo to share with you! I have to admit, I love these posts! :-) We've been trying to take a new photo every 4 weeks, but we kind of slacked off so it's been 6 weeks since my last pic! So, without further ado, here's the latest and greatest on my baby belly!

She's definitely getting big in there because trust me I can feel my ligaments stretching! I've gained about 9 lbs so far, and let me tell I LOVE food, so it's been wonderful being able to eat Guilt Free! This weekend I'm heading to a maternity spa to get The Perfect Pregnancy Massage, you have no idea how much I'm looking forward to that!

 

Well, I guess I better start getting ready for work. We can actually leave early today so I think afterward, I'll get myself a mani/pedi and just have a kind of "pamper me" weekend! There's nothing wrong with that, right?! I hope you all have a great day and a safe and fun 4th of July!!!!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Monday!

Hello Friends! I have a question...is Monday ever really happy?! Do you mind if I answer my own question? I say YES, especially if you've had a great weekend and you have a short work week (I'm only working 3 days this week due to the July 4th holiday), so Monday really can be happy! :-)

Did you have a good weekend? Mine was great! My friends and I met for lunch then we spent 3 hours in the baby store creating the registry. Whew, it was exhausting, but super fun we truly had a blast! And now that's one thing I can check off of the to-do list! The rest of the weekend I spent chilling with my honey, we watched movies all weekend. We capped off our movie watching with The Call starring Halle Berry. It was really good, we enjoyed it.

So, today I have another birthday card to share with you. I used a new stamp set from My Favorite Things called Abstract Art. Such a fun set and don't you just love the little paint brushes!

 

Something tells me that I'll be using this stamp set again, and again (wink, wink). :-) Well, I hope you all have a "Happy Monday" and I will chat with you soon and hopefully I'll have a new "baby bump" photo to share! As always, thank you so much for stopping by!
