Inspired.....

That daily life album on Shutterfly really inspired me . Today, I probably took over 100 photos of my daily life, work and all... I'm really excited to post them up here tommorrow. I took all the photos myself, some using the auto timer and some just holding the camera out. I'm really happy with the results. I can't wait to make my album on Shutterfly! Oh yeah, another exciting thing I can't wait for is the February Kit of the Month from Creating Keepsakes (the details of the kit won't be revealed until Feb. 1st however).. It is by Becky Higgins and all about preserving School memories. It's about time I got a jump start on that. I just love her style! Stay tuned for the daily life slideshow tommorrow.....

Project 365::23 Create


Today was kind of a bad mommy day trying to get these kids to take their medicine, etc... So I thought I would post something that just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. the first page to Lucas' baby album that I finished a few weeks ago. The first time I actually scrapbooked anything in over a year. I love this poem which I got in a class I took at a CK convention in Manchester,NH a few years ago. I have this poem on the first page of each of my children's baby albums. Have a great day!

The cookie Trick...

Josh has an amazing way to get the kids to eat and take their medicine. Lucas
HATES baby food, so recently Josh instituted the "cookie trick" Josh holds a Cookie up to Lucas' mouth while carrying him around and when Lucas opens Josh turns his hand and the spoon with baby food goes right into Lucas' mouth-genius! Also, Breanna ABSOLUTELY refuses to take her liquid Amoxicillin. So, we got some capsules and Josh invented the "medicine delivery system". Josh takes a gummy snack, cuts it open, places the powder from the capsule inside then sticks it back together. Breanna gobbles them right up! I don't know....I think he should patent it!
