Welcome little one

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a great weekend! Oh my goodness, life has been a whirlwind over here! Things have been crazy busy at work, and just as busy at home. Paige wasn't feel well last week so I had to pick her up from "school" and bring her home. Thank goodness my honey was able to stay home with her the following day. She's feeling much better now, she's so sweet even when she doesn't feel good!

So, yesterday we had a family outing to the bowling alley. We had such a fun time and Paige almost beat me! LOL! After that, we took a drive down to Ft. Lauderdale for lunch and just relaxed, talked, and enjoyed ourselves. It's so nice that my husband is finally off on the weekends because now we can actually make plans and enjoy our weekends together!

I didn't even realize that's it's been so LONG since my last post and I truly apologize. But, I do have a card to share today. I made this one for the mother of one of Paige's classmates, she recently had a baby girl.

This card is little bigger than the standard A2 cards I normally make, I believe it was 5.25x5.25. I used Simple Stories Vintage Bliss patterned paper and I found the stork in the Silhouette Design Store. I added some enamel dots and few stamped hearts to finish off the card. I tucked a little gift card to Babies R Us inside because all mom's need STUFF! LOL!

 

Well, today I'm getting started on my Christmas cards - yup the holiday season is upon us, YAY! I hope to have a few ready to go by the end of the day. Have a great Sunday, and thank you so much for stopping by!

Baby Bump Update

Hello Friends! Did you have a nice weekend? Mine was certainly nice, very busy but nice. So, we had an appointment for our 3D ultrasound, but little Miss Paige decided that she didn't want to cooperate. :-( She had her hand in front of her face the whole time so we couldn't get a good picture. Considering that we get an ultrasound every two weeks, maybe she's just tired of the paparazzi! LOL!

Then on Sunday we took a breast feeding and child care class which was really informative. I've been on the fence about breast feeding but after hearing about all the benefits for the baby I'm totally on board! The class was 3.5 hours long so it was A LOT of information and we got a great goodie bag, so it was well worth our time. The next thing on the agenda is to tour the hospital we're going to deliver in. That should be fun! There are just so many little things to put into place before she gets here, I have a running list of "to-do's" for me and my husband!

So, without further ado, here is our Week 30 photo! Wow, 30 weeks I can't believe how fast this time is going!

My belly is definitely growing by leaps and bounds! But, I'm still feeling good, still working out, and still smiling! Well, I hope you all have a great day and a wonderful week! Thank you so much for stopping by!

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!

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!

I have a new nephew!

Hello Friends! I'm so sorry that I've been MIA from the blog lately but I've been working feverishly on a 30 card order for my co-worker. Whew, it's pretty much all of I've working on for the last couple of weekends. I'm almost done and of course I'll be sharing lots of photos very soon!

In other news, my sister recently had a little baby boy his name is Mekhi Samuel and he is a real cutie! I made this card for her shortly after she had him and she has it displayed in his room. I can't wait to meet him (they're in Ohio) but I will be traveling there real soon. I have a photo to share of him as well from Halloween.

 

Isn't he beautiful?! I just want to hug him and squeeze him, and kiss him!! I can't wait to get up there! Well, I hope you all enjoyed today's post and I'll be back tomorrow with a little giveaway so stay tuned! :-)





 

Another Mo Manning Image

Hello Friends! I'm back with another sweet image from Mo's Digital Pencil. This little cutie was colored with Copic markers and the patterned paper is an older collection from Cosmo Cricket. I hope you all are having a great start to the work week and I hope to have more craftiness to share in the coming days. Have a fantastic day and thanks for stopping by!
