Getting my feet wet~

Hello everyone!

While you have seen a few different posts here and there from me,

I've actually been away in Lake Chelan, Washington.  Todd

and I took the boys there for the last six days.  The weather

was a little better than at home (had a couple

of days of warm weather to swim), but we mostly played

some new games and went shopping. Hey, even got

some Christmas presents.  Yes, I know I start a little early, lol.

Although, our favorite part of the trip was

picking cherries and blueberries. 

We all had tons of fun. :)

Anyway, I'm back home now.  Plus I have this new layout

I made while away.  This is just two of the many pictures

from our Ocean Shores trip. 

Here is a preview of the kit I used for my layout:

If you are a scrapper, head over to the store now to

with many kits over the last year of digital scrapbooking,

and this one is sure to please. 

Here is my inspiration for the kit:

Love it when the boys take pictures that make them

look so sweet.

Twitterpated/Goodnight

Simple Girl Scraps has two new kits that hit the store yesterday.

You can grab her soda shop color kit: Goodnight for only $1.00, but it is

this weekend only.  So be sure to hurry. :)

Over that last couple of days, I've been going through our older

photos.  Holy cow, I took tons of them.  Sadly, not all of

them are really good ones.  Guess I've learned to

take better pictures over the years.  Which

is one thing I would like to improve on even more.

Anyway, this cutie pie is one of those pictures I've

found.  Love how little Cody is!

Her other kit is called Twitterpated, and

its part of the Creative Junction mix-a-kit event at Scrap Delicious!

Again don't miss out.

Now these pictures are from this month (don't want to get

too far behind).  My husband and I were talking

about different things we want to do within our life time.

Which is turn got us making our bucket list.  So here

are the pictures from our first item: walking on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Butterflies:

Just want to share what I've been playing with today. 

I'm a huge fan of butterflies. So when I saw this kit: Fly By Butterfly

by Giggly Polka Dots, I just had to have it.

of the day, I gave up.  While I still have do more too it, I decided

I had other things to finish first like this post.  Help relieve some of

the stress that my computer caused. :(

Anyway, Ashalee Wall has now opened her goodies to hybrid
