Where has the time gone?

Wow! Time sure does fly by, where does it go? It seems like only yesterday that I was holding my tiny newborn in my arms. I remember that day so clearly, and it's almost been 4 years! So much has happened in that small time frame. I had a miscarriage, lost my mother in a car accident, then had a tubular pregnancy that almost took my life. I gave birth to another beautiful daughter and then another.

My youngest is already 8 months old. She is so cute. The HAPPIEST baby you will every meet. She is always smiling. She is so active and teaches herself so much. She mastered the art of crawling awhile ago but has dreamed of being able to stand since birth. Ever since she had the muscles, she always stood on her hands and feet and tried to lift her hands off the floor. It was so fun to just watch her detimination to stand. She has now learned to use furniture to lift herself to a standing position and no longer stands on all fours grunting while trying to lift herself to stand. Seriously the cutest baby in the world.

My middle child is also at such a fun stage. She is really picking up her language skills. She is talking so well. I love how she says things. Like "Hold you mommy"...as she lifts her arms up wanting to be held. She is constantly exploring and learning new things. So FUN!

My oldest is so adventurous. She wants to know about everything around her and how it works. I learn so much from her everyday. She has such a good memory. I can't believe how much she remembers. You tell her a story once and for the next week she will be telling that same story to everyone she comes in contact with. I love her so dearly.

I am so grateful for my beautiful family and for all the blessings in my life. I am extremely thankful for my wonderful husband. He works so hard to support us and I cannot thank him enough. I LOVE YOU BABY!

New Kit

Alright everyone. Check out this adorable new kit! This is the last kit that I will do for SAHM Scrapper. She was kind enough to let me do this kit because I was so excited for it. It is also her first kit with her new partner. Their designing name is "Designing Divas." Isn't that such a cute name? Well, now you know the reason why she had to get rid of some of her CT. Two designers came together as one and they both had a pretty large CT. You will find it in the stuff to scrap store for $2.50 for a limited time only. So go and get it. If you have any dentist pictures, especially braces pictures, then this kit is for you. The preview of the kit is linked to the store.

New Kit by SAHM Scrapper

SAHM Scrapper has a new kit out today. It is called Haunted Halloween. As you know I am no longer going to be on her CT. All of those changes take place next month. So I will be doing a layout for one more kit this month. She is also letting me work on one of her kits next month that I was really excited for. Anyway, this is a very bright and cute Halloween kit. Head on over to her store and snag it. The preview of the kit is linked.
This is our family on Halloween 2008. The two pictures are actually one that I cut in half so that I could create this look.

Hornbuckle store open TODAY!

Wow guys! This took me completely by surprise. I was at the Gingerscrap.net blog and noticed that Mandy Hornbuckle's store opened up TODAY! I feel so dumb. I thought that it opened tomorrow. Well, all of her kits are on sale through Sunday Oct 17th. So hurry and get these adorable kits SOON! I took this preview of all her kits from Gingerscrap but I will get some larger photos of each kit posted a little later. Image is linked to her store.

BIG NEWS for HORNBUCKLE DESIGN :)

Alright everyone. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am no longer on SAHM Scrapper's CT. Something came up and she had to cut two CT members. She was going to assign everyone a number and have the numbers randomly chosen. I couldn't allow that to happen. I didn't think it would be fair for her to possibly loose one of her seasoned CT members to keep me. I was one of the most recent additions, so I figured I was the fair choice to leave... I volunteered. Now don't you go thinking I am a saint or anything...(even though being on her CT was a DREAM) I actually felt a little overwhelmed being on two CT's and I want to get use to Mandy's CT before I jump into someone elses too. I was accepted to Mandy's CT first, even though it was only a couple days before, she was still first, and I feel like she deserves my all. I have a lot to learn. I am hoping to get photoshop soon so that I can start bringing you some awesome QP freebies in the future.

Alright, now for the BIG NEWS. Mandy has opened her store already at Ahhhscrap.com. She is going to be opening her store at Gingerscraps.net on the 15th of this month. DON'T MISS IT! I am going to post all of her kits, right here, on my blog :) What date did you say? Well, OCTOBER 15TH...mark your calendars! Her designer name is Hornbuckle Designs... SO EXCITED for what is ahead :)

Wonderful Weekend and New Kit!

This was such a great weekend! First of all, it was conference weekend. For those of you who don't know...I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. Two times a year we get 12 hours, during which we get to listen to our Prophet, apostles, and other leaders in the church. One two-hour session is for women...another two-hour session is for men. Then, there are two two-hour sessions on Saturday and then two more on Sunday. There were so many great teachings. The speakers never discuss with each other what they are going to talk about, and every time conference is on I tend to notice a "theme." I know that these men and women are speaking to us through inspiration and I know that there is a living prophet on the earth today, and he speaks with God, just like the prophets of old. It says in the bible that God is the "Same yesterday, today, and forever" I truly believe that scripture! If God spoke with men back in ancient time...why not now? Well, I can tell you he does! There were many wonderful teachings this conference and I really enjoyed listening to it.

On top of all that. Trent and I took a drive to Idaho during the first Sunday morning session. It was nice to be able to see the beautiful scenery and listen to conference on the radio. A nice family in Idaho gave us a neat bed for Jessica and a beautiful dresser. The bed is from Ikea and it has a slide. OH MY GOODNESS! My kids were so so excited! I can't tell you how long my kids have wanted a slide and they finally got one! Thank you so much to that wonderful family. :)

Okay now onto the new kit! There is a new kit out by SAHM Scrapper. It is called Gleefully wicked and it can be found in her store at Stuff to Scrap. Here is what I did with it, and a preview of her cute new kit!

Above is two of my cute nieces dressed up for Halloween 2009 and below is a picture of my Mother-in-law dressed up for Halloween as well.
