That be so fun for me!






Logan has been cracking me up lately with his funny phrases. When I was out shopping today looking at some fun fabrics and scrap stuff, I kept thinking of his newest one, "That be so fun for me!" He usually says it when he sees toys or talks about seeing his friends. I just die laughing. So here's some fun projects that might be So fun for you too!! he he

Some fun stuff!






I'm so proud of myself! Got the house clean this morning. I think that deserves a round of applause!! Especially since Logan had to break downs this morning. Ugh! two year olds! He cracked me up just a little while ago. I heard him laughing and saying, "Look he's naked, Look he's naked!" I come in the room to find that he'd completely undressed his brother. I just laughed when he said, "baby is wierd.. he he" The baby didn't even flinch!






The first card is my take on Tami's awesome sketch over at CPS. Made those little lollipops from patterned paper, chopsticks, and cellophane. SO much fun to make! The Layout I made this last week when I got a great pic of Logan, which rarely happens!!






Thanks for stopping by!!






P.S. are you up for a challenge??? I'll post it tomorrow!

Wanna win some Hero Arts money???





Hero Arts just opened up their first blog ever! Come check it out! Jennifer McGuire has posted some fun challenges and if you play along, you can win HA gift cards! Which will be really fun to spend since they just came out with their spring line of stamps. Every Monday a new artist will be giving a stamping challenge. You could win some big stuff. Go stop by and say hello!! We love seeing you all there!




Here's my take on the latest CPS sketch. Our sponsor was Gina K stamps, that's the sweet rose on the card. THen I had some fun with my Around the BLock flocking kit (the music notes are flocked). I made these fun flowers from some new fabric I got last week. Think I'll make a cute headband from it too!



We're having a crazy monday. Landen got his first cold ever, which is always the worst. And I have a not-so-fun doctor's appointment today right during Logan's nap, so there goes my scrap time. Oh, well, I'll save my creative juices for tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by!

A house of order?









ha ha. I used to! Brandon came home the other night and asked how my day went. I said, "We had three meltdowns. Logan had a meltdown which made Landen have a meltdown which made me have a meltdown." Unfortunetly Landen likes to be held way too much, I either have to do all the chores with him in my arms or don't do the chores. It can get so frustrating! I'm hangin in there though!






Here's my CPS take from Tami's awesome sketch. I know it's past easter, but I made it before the holiday, does that count??? Loved that little chick! Just some other fun cards I've made this week too.






Oh, and I've been putting this off forever. I've been tagged by three fun gals and it's time I share some random and very odd facts about myself:






1.) I'm HUGE into pop-up books. LOVE Mattew Reinhart and Rober Sabuda. I have a large collection of their books and Logan is only allowed to read them when I sit down with him. I think I would cry if they got destroyed. I even dabble in that art as well, although I'm horrible at it!






2.) I have to perm my hair because the bottom half of my hair is jet straight and the top half is really curly. Pregnancy hormones! What can you do? Luckily my sister is a cosmetologist!






3.) My favorite cereal in the whole world is Rice Krispie Treats Cereal. You can only find it at Super Walmart and I can eat a whole box in two days. (at least it's not in one sitting, which I CAN do might I add :) .






4.)I can fit my whole fist in my mouth.






5.) I am OBSESSED with candles. I love my house to smell wonderful and I have a whole bin filled with candles for every season, month, day, etc of the year!!






6.) I'm a list person. I make a "to do" list everyday and check it off when I've completed something. I often put little things on there like eat breakfast so that I can at least cross off one thing even if I don't get to anything else!






7.) I love projects. I just bought the 52 projects book that Ali Edwards recomended and I love it. I'm starting this week!






So that's a little bit about me. I'm a little quirky I know, but I love it! Thanks for stopping by!

I'm dreaming of a snowy Easter.






Well, actually no, but we did have a snowy Easter. The weather was great but we still have snow on the ground. Wasn't too hard to find the easter eggs. Logan had so much fun running around looking for the easter eggs. He had the classic moment of bending down to get an egg and another one falling out of his basket. Too funny. He kept saying, "Oh, look another one!!" Cracked me up!

Here's my CPS take from last week. Love that little bunny. A little summer layout to hopefully bring the sunshine out for us. Picture was from a long time ago and I finally scrapped it! THe orange stitching is actually a Hero Arts Stamp repeated, love the way it turned out. Hope you all have a great day!!
