oh yes...and some photos love

2-11, some sweet strawberry lovin':

2-12, lil boo'z valentine's cards for her classmates:

2-13, oops forgot to take a photo this day...oh well...

2-14, some valentine's love from lil boo'z classmates:

2-15, jeweled-toned-polished toenails...being preggo, it was hard, but i did it:

2-16, on a rare occasion, a chocolate craving....a spoonful of nutella love:

2-17, a light snack...craved this and hadn't had this in awhile...whole wheat toast w/ natural peanut butter, sliced almonds and drizzled w/ some yumm-o honey...yey-yah!:

felt a little weird missing one day....
but i've accepted the fact that it can happen..
and i'm ok w/ that.
plus preggo-ness is starting to tire me more.
there are times i don't want to do anything but relax.
and so i do.
and that's okay too.
i'll be 32 weeks tomorrow...wow... 8 months!
she's lowered into my pelvis area now.
can't really walk as much and stand as much.
a little backpain when i do stand or walk too much.
i have a feeling she's gonna come a lil earlier than april 15th.
but not too early.
can hardly wait til she comes!

have a wonderful thursday!
i'm off to pick up my lil boo from school now!

a card about love

almost forgot to post this card i made for my hubby for this lovely day we call valentine's day...

and for the lil lovey dovey deetz:

materials:  crate paper, american crafts, martha stewart, ranger, fiskars, ek success

happy valentine's day!

happy valentine's day!

happy valentine's day everyone!
the day of love!
well...
everyday is the day of love.
and that's how it should always be.

well i'm posting this a day early since this is a valentine's layout...
this is also for the ScrapTiffany challenge:  metal/wire.

here's my take:

materials:  Basic Grey, Autumn Leaves,  American Crafts, EK Success, Martha Stewart, We R Memory Keepers, Ranger, Making Memories, Fiskars, AMM, Starbucks bag, Joann's, Jesse James & Co

i played with crackle paint and spray ink.

used lots of scraps from an older kit.

even used a Starbucks bag.

the metal is from some packaging from a long time ago.

used up a package of left over MM brads that were stashed away from back in the day too.

the photo was taken on 3.15.2009, our civil wedding reception.

one of my favez.

used it for this lo as a valentine's dedication to my hubby.

i really love how this one turned out.

and i hope you too.

have a wonderful v-day!

pre-valentine's reveal

just a quick one for an upcoming challenge on ScrapTiffany on february 15th:

played with some crackle paint & spray ink for this one.

an album about a mama

yesterday i finally finished up my album project.
it's a nice one about mama'z day last year on 5.8.2010.
i think it took me about almost 2 weeks to do it.
that's because i did it little by little.
inserted the photos one day.
took a little break.
then another day cut up the patterned papers to size.
a little longer break.
added punched heart embellies, a lil doodling, and journaling.
another lil break.
and finished it up.
aaaaaaahhhhhh, finally.

and here's just a few pages from the album:

materials:  autumn leaves, hero arts, ek success, uniball signo, aleene's

the album cover is just a simple album and you can see it here.


and now i've got something in one place to look back on.


yey-yah!

these past few dayz....

...was pretty much more of relaxin and chillin w/ my lil boo.
we didn't go anywhere except to the commissary.
but it was really nice to not travel and sleep in.
it was nice to just be able to be in our bathrobes and just bum out for a change.

a few 365 photo joints to share:

1-21, uploaded photoshop on my laptop and started using this as a starting point (yes, i am a dummies fan!):

1-22, it's been awhile for me & lil boo pic:

1-23, finally got this album done (you can click here for a view of the completed project, whew!):

and lastly for today's shot, 1-24, some of my fave stamps i used for the album i did yesterday:

it's nice to be able to start something and finish even if it takes you awhile.

aaaaaaahhhhh...
relief and happiness.
