Sorry for not posting

Wow I have been in 7 different states in two separate one week vacations in the month of November, and have not posted in a such a long time.

I promise things should wind down soon and hopefully I can post some Christmas things.

Also I am receiving a lot of comments but cannot write back unless I have your email address.  Please leave me your address.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and our ready for Christmas.

Animal Print Onesie Card for Baby Savannah

OK so you might think I am a little obsessed with making my onesie cards, but the cut file is super easy for me.

Here is an animal print onesie card for Baby Savannah who already has a jungle themed nursery.  She is scheduled to arrive 11.11.11 (what an awesome birthday that would make).

Happy Birthday Mary!

It was my MIL on 9-11, and all she wanted for her birthday was for the San Diego Chargers to win the game (they did).  Our entire family has season tickets and usually all carpool down together to our tailgating spots.  My husband and I made up an excuse to her and went down early to decorate our parking spot for her birthday.  Since she is a die-hard fan, and her favorite color is yellow, it made it easy to create a banner in the Chargers colors.

Scrapbook Layouts Completed at Lake Powell

At the end of August we went on our annual house-boating trip to Lake Powell.  I decided to bring some scrapbooking supplies and was able to complete a couple layouts.  I told myself I was only able to use the supplies that I brought, and would not try to add to them when I got home.

It's funny how all my friends lately are pregnant with girls.  This is my first boy diaper cake.  I thought it would be cute to use the denim diapers for the middle row.
