~~Happy almost Easter~~

I just wanted to wish you all a HAPPY EASTER! :) And also share some fun new stuff with you all! :) I thrilled to be guesting at Scrapbook Graphics this month! :) SO much fun! :) And here's the FUN new stuff I have in their shoppe for the month! :) Check out the AMAZING pages the girls have created! Just awesome! :) 

 

Sooo are you all ready for Easter? I am just HOPING we get some warm weather for Sunday! Sometimes it's hit and miss these days..cold, warm, cold, warm. But we have some fun things planned so hoping for warm sunshine! :) Speaking of Easter, I've been SO BEHIND lately! LOL And I knew "coloring eggs" had to get done. So messy though! LOL So yesterday we let the kiddies at it. :) They did the tye dye and glitter egg kits. Super fun! Totally messy but it had to be done. :) Here's what they did. :) So much fun! 

Here's one of my favorite pages...when I first started scrapbooking! I just said "AHHH" seeing these little guys so little !:) Have a great one everyone! :) xoxox

Easter...

Easter was so much fun! We did church Sat night. The kids totally loved it.  Late Saturday night, the Easter bunnies were up late preparing the baskets. Wow just like another Christmas. SO on Easter Sunday, they all awoke, really early, begging us to start looking for hints that the Easter bunny came. We dragged ourselves out of bed and I barely managed to snap some pics. My eyes were just not open that early yet. :) So anyways, the kids found the first round of baskets that the Mommy and Daddy Easter bunny had left. Candy everywhere. And then for round too of finding the Easter baskets that the Grandma and Grandpa bunnies had left. Usually they do really cute baskets. This year, with little time to spare and all of us being so sick, I think the Grandma bunny headed to a huge superstore to find a basket that would do. I just love this! Hilarious. And after cellophane, green paper grass and jelly beans were scattered on the carpet, we decided to head out for Easter brunch. What a wild day to celebrate one of the most important holidays! It was truly a chaotic blessing. Here's a page I did of the kiddies coloring their eggs. So much fun and these little eggs really came to life with their cute faces. And here's a shot of Josh chowing down his chocolate bunny and of the funny yet fabulous supermarket over sized baskets. :) Hope your holiday was fully loaded with wonderful blessings! :) Will try to pop on here soon with a fun freebie or two!

Something Sweet...

For Valentines Day! Aren't these cute? Remember the Monkey Lollipops?  Well here is how we did them up. I used Mindy T's adorable monkeys. And made a cute tag with them and Dani M's holiday papers. Then gave one a pink flower and the other a banana. LOL Chayce and Josh are excited to pass these out this week to their buddies at school. And the heart pops are for their teachers. Fun! And about the contest...I will be getting the winners announced Thursday. So feel free to still post a comment on this thread.  If you leave a comment anywhere else it won't count. :( So hooray, a few more days left! :) Have a fab day! ps-isn't this font adorable? It's by Taran Conyers and you can find it here. :) I think it's one of my favorite ones yet. :)

Happy Holidays from all of us!

Craft Time

So hope you all are doing great! Seems like it's a mad rush time to get projects and gifts done and wrapped! SO I wanted to share a few of my favorite things I did this year...um..last night! LOL  First off, Shutterfly! Amazing prints, cards and scrap pages! I ordered these and they turned out fabulous!


This huge 12" x 12" one is totally my favorite! It came out so crisp and clear! Awesome! And picked up this 12" frame at Michaels...$4.99...pennies...made for a fabulous gift! I always get tons of emails asking me how these digital pages turn out after scrapping them. Basically they look exactly like your screen except it's on paper! Does this Santa page not look dimensional? Photoshop is so awesome.

I was up way late last night finishing these! I had to make 50 for Chayce and Joshua's class! Boy Josh was tickled to see the result. I don't think he realized HE would be the one giving these away and he was very excited about that.

And I sliced up this freebie and made quick gift tags for them. 

Last week I got my awesome order from Danielle! These went in cards for family. OMG! To die for amazing! Awesome quality and Danielle just ROCKED these!!!!!!!! Each came in their own sealed container to protect! And I am sure they will be well loved and well used on everyone's fridges! :) TY Danielle! xoxo

And finally gifts for Chayce and Josh' teachers...MASSIVELY huge candy bar wrappers! YUM! The kids just loved seeing these wrapped around yummy chocolate!

This template for these Hershey's 8oz chocolate bars.  And if you all would like this template .png file, please shoot me a comment and I will merrily send it your way! I hope the teachers love these! They usually do! :)

K so more Santa chores to be done before time runs out! Hope all of you have a Merry Little Winter day! Snowing here! Yippeee!!!!

And.....he......

did it! LOL Matt sat on Santa's lap! I know! Compared to last year..this pic was hilarious. I was kinda hoping to get another pic like that...but no.  This year he loved Santa, sat on his lap and stood there telling him what he wanted for Xmas. So cute.
After that we got our annual family ornament! Another fun tradition. This was last years. And now this one is this years.

Chayce had to stop buy Build a Bear to kinda scope out the new cuddlies. She wants gift cards to that place so she was kinda spotting a few and some new outfits too. She LOVES that place.

And here's a cute of Mattie in the car! LOL Hope you all have a great Tuesday!

BTW a few days ago Lanne did a Screen Share with me! HOLY SMOKES! That was the coolest thing ever! We were talking over the computer..gosh she has an amazing Australian voice and she was showing me how to  do textures and actions on photos. The girl is SO TALENTED! But seriously, just so cool. And then I got control of her mouse so I could play on her screen too! Just awesome fun and our kids loved hearing her and watching her work!

What's on your tree?

Because when I saw Joy's post here the other day, I fell in love! Such a pretty tree! And mine is quite shabby chic still too! LOL Love the white tree. But the last 2 years I didn't do the decoratin'! LOL Chris did! Such a guy! I pretty much don't enjoy decoratin' trees now but that's okay. He did a great job! Just look what's on our white and pink shabby tree! :) Also check out Ash's AWESOME xmas card! Sooo pretty!

Happy Turkey Day

From our little Chaycey to all of you! Enjoy your day full of blessings!

Happy Halloween!

Well just had to wish you all a happy halloween! And a Happy Harvest to those who don't celebrate Halloween. Have a safe and fun day/night.

K had to share this! LOL Josh had his Halloween party at his school yesterday! Yesterday he was Batman. Tonight he's being this guy! LOL Anyways, just at school alone, he came home with a huge bag full of goodies.  So hilarious!

And to my sweet dear friend Deann, THANK YOU for your sweet gift in the mail the other day! You are just such an incredible person and I adore you tons!!!!

Oh and CONGRATS to Lisa for getting her own cat! And Lanne on your new TOY!!!! Enjoy those girlees!!!!

And  my dad sent me this for the boys to play with this morning...let your kids try it. So cute!

Happy Good Friday!

And wow what a great Friday it is! Such a huge reason to celebrate! Anyways, just wanted to wish you all a Happy Easter! Last night after dinner, we ran by this store to pick up some last minute easter candy! LOL
I think I went overboard too! OH well! Anyways, as I was walking down the aisles, spotted these adorable pink shabby cups! OMG! Had to grab them! Aren't they cute! Certainly perfect for talking shabby with my girlfriends! LOL

Also, LOOOVE this magazine-Cottage Style! And had to snap a few to show you just how dh and I view different decorating styles! LOL I'm sitting there looking through this magazine and shabby daddy is like "yeah I  like that" and "nooo I don't like that".  Our styles are so different. But I'd say they are both pretty tasteful! So I had to share with you some pictures of what he likes and what I like! But I think in the end, we both will make a compromise. And choose a semi-shabby-retro-old-vintage-antique-dark kinda look! LOL I seriously think my cute hubby could go for this retro look..but more so in a basement, coffee shop or a den. Some place for him to  invite his buds over for pool or something.

So here's what I came up with! LOL And....all these adorable goodies came from Gina Wina!

So I hope you all enjoy your beautiful Easter holiday! :) Smoochies!

Edited to add:
OMG so sorry I didn't tell you "what" store! LOL They came from Target~ and they were 30% off and they had matching salad plates, dinner plates and bowls and all those had scalloped edges! CUUUUTE!!!!
