Paying it Forward

The first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what it will be is a surprise. There's a small catch...You knew there would be one didn't you? Post this on your blog then come back and leave a comment, telling me you're in. Fun, huh? Remember, only the first 3 people to comment receive a gift. Let's see who looks at my blog!

Revised: I'm going with the first 5 people!

Princess Invite Revised

I thought it was missing something.... so I added a #3 Crest and some vining flowers.

Hello Again

We'll I've neglected my blog for far too long. I wish I could say I've been busy but the truth is I've been spending my blog time on Facebook. I know, I know but it is very addictive and I have caught up with lots of long lost friends. I'm back now and updated the background for spring which I hope comes soon. We got 7 moe inches of snow over the weekend. I have also been very busy creating (pictures to follow soon). I've been making a scrapbook for my sister-due very soon with her first baby. I'm trying to make pages for her to fill in for the first year, I know I didn't have time to scrapbook much after J was first born. I also just made invites for her baby shower - too cute if I do say so myself! J's bday is also fast approaching and as usual we are having two parties so I've been making the invites. One is an all-star gymnastics theme, we are having the party at The Little Gym and the other is a princess ball. Grandma is making her a gorgeous custom princess dress - (check out her blog Scrap'n Grandma from my list) for pictures. J is very excited about it and wants to call Grandma daily for updates on its progress.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome 2009! I wonder what this year will bring. I know some things will change and some will stay the same. For starters my baby, I mean little girl will continue to grow up too fast, we will all get older, hopefully wiser and we will be moving. I don't know where we are going yet, but I'm sure it will be an exciting adventure! 2008 was a great year and won't soon be forgotten but it's fun to think about what lies ahead and what surprises we are in for!

So Cool!

Well it is winter in wisconsin and that means lots and lots of snow and below 0 temps. So since I no longer go outside I have more time to read my favorite blogs and in doing so I found a "free" music player. So COOL! I have added it to my blog and am currently playing some of my favorite christmas songs. I will change the playlist after the holidays, although I love christmas music year round!

It's almost Christmas!

I'm not sure how, but Christmas is almost here. There were so many things I planned on accomplishing this year, but I blinked and time flew by.

The shopping is done, the decorations are up, the cookies have been baked, eaten and baked again and yet I feel like something is missing...I'm not ready for Christmas to be here in less than a week. And by the way the something missing is not the "white" Christmas, we got 10inches of snow today to go with the 5 from last week and some before that too. Yesterday I was looking back at photos from past Christmas'. I was a little sad, every year seems to go by quicker and quicker. I still love Christmas but the joys and excitement I experieced as a child are now being passed on to my (not such a baby anymore) baby and she is already growing up too fast! I love every minute of time as it goes by, but I'm afraid I won't remember all the sweet little moments later.

We are making plans with friends this year since we are not traveling and our families are not coming up either. I guess you could say we are doing some of our own family traditions to mix in with the ones handed down from our parents and grandparents.

Here's a few pictures past and present:
