Celebrate with something sweet~

Good morning everyone!
It has been awhile since I created any kind of real post.  Life has kept me busy running around here and there.  I thought that when the boys went back to school, I would find myself having tons of time creating.  Man, have I been wrong.  The good news is that at least I see a small light at the end of the tunnel.  With September gone, I have hope that a new month will bring some normal craziness back into my life. 

Now for what all of you have been waiting for!!!!

Challenges:
SC: older than 6 mos

Love Notes

It is amazing how one day can change your life forever.  My heart

goes out to all of those who lost a love one this

tragic day 10 years ago.

A day like today, reminds you to tell the

ones you love, just how much they mean to you!

So when Creations by Julie

came out with some new goodies out called: It's Journal Time,

I was able to do just that with my little love notes.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Mount St. Helens

Just a quick post, as the craziness is moving into the weekend!  As I will

be turning 32 on Sunday.  Not only I'm I trying to get the

normal stuff done over the weekend, but we have added some

birthday dinners, shopping, and remembrance of 9/11 it.

So can you say CRAZY!!!

Anyway, here is some new templates and an old kit by Miss Mis Designs:

Tilted Templates:

Family Matters Bundle:

After combining both goodies, here is what I came up with:

These are pictures from our day vacation to Mount St. Helens.  While

it is only a little over an hour away, it is the first time we have

ever been.  It was really cool to see it in person.  Both boys

had a "Awesome Time" as they call it.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Crazy week!!!

Guess it is time to get onto my goodies for the day, lol.  Today I want
