So I've been meaning to blog for the longest time but... I keep finding other things to do since writing is not one of my favorite creative endeavors. It's one of the things I push to the back burner.

With that said I do however like the way this blog allows me to share parts of my life with family and friends who don't live
here by me.

So.... to the left the scrapbook page is my intro to our newest family member "Jeff the god of biscuits" Jeff for short! Isn't he
just the cutest? He's definantly still a kitten because he is still a little wild man...I'd forgotten how wild kittens really are!!!LOL :) But he's also so cuddly when he's tired.

Also there are 2 new "People" members or our extended family one on my side of the house
(my cousin amanda's 1st baby)and one on Aaron's side (his brother's new baby) they were born a week apart.

The picture with me in red is of my Cousin amanda's new baby Addison Kaye she was 4 days old in that picture. So way cute!!!
The other picture is of Aaron and his younger brother Tristan with little Olivia Jean. Aaron is holding her and Tristan is being silly with his camera :) She too is a cutie patootie!!! This pic was taken a few hours after she was born she still had all the gross stuff on her. But I promise she is really cute!!!

Well other than all the new life that has been popping up all over this 1st couple months of 2008 not much new is going on with me. I'm still teaching during the week but my true love is my weekend creative time... I've been trying to create something every weekend whether scrapping related or just painting something...This is a project
I made for a very good friend of mine Jen. they were boxes that I had saved jsut because I thought I could turn them into something . I thought they would be cute shadow boxes for pictures or whatever... They turned out pretty cute I think . And I've got 3 more boxes if I want to make some for me :) LOL

when I'm messing around in my room I'm just so happy and peaceful it's hard to explain...? But that's who I am. Yes MOM I was born to make a mess and I'm still at 33.5 years later!!! You can see more of my work and layouts on a website called
scrap in style TV. If you want to see some of my work I've put there click HERE .

If you want to get inspire to make your own stuff check out that site too because there are a ton talented people that cruise that sight it's hard to look and not be inspired!!! Go ahead try I dare ya!!!

aww, what sweet babies. My first grandson was born in Jan. My hubby and I were talking this morning about how he has stolen my heart and taken it with him. My daughter and her family just moved away this last weekend. Talk about adjusting!

Great project!

the after christmas tales...

So this year for christmas Aaron and I got each other a new couch...LOL Dang it!!!!! I"m officially a grown up now. CRAP... how did that happen? Anyway we really love the new sectional it's so comfy and soft. It has recliners on both ends so it's very nice I can sit back on one end and read a book or mag with the little light the bends over me and the Big A can watch tv in the almost dark like he likes. It's a win win!! The curtains in the background I found at Pier 1 but I'm going to find a Red sash kinda thing for over the top and hanging down on the sides. The big green pillow will be covered as soon as I find the right color of fabric. I'm looking for a red. The color scheme will be Tan , chocolate brown, Red and A hint of Gold . I know you are saying well what are you going to do about the horrible BLUE carpet That totally doesn't work? Well the plan is to not be in this house for too much longer and all of these new things will move with us to t...

I've been busy creating today....

I've been very inspired by all things colorful and bold... But while loving the idea of oil painting and such I by nature can't really be comfortable trying to create a Realistic piece. So as I was visiting Elsie Flannigan's blog and then her Flickr site it hit me... I shouldn't even try to do realistic things with paint I should just stick with the cartoon-ish and whimsical things!!!Because those things flow out of me without having to learn a whole new style. Well then I went into my Room of goodness(otherwise known as my scrapping/craftroom)LOL and I got some acrylic pain ts and sketched a quick drawing then got down to it... this is what I made today.... A Big huge mess....haahaha...No no just kidding. Here is the real thing The picture is of me and Aaron and our 2 cats and the fictional house That we'll have some day soon. I used just regular acrylic paints like the ones you can buy for like 60 cents a piece at craft stores. It's painted on regular canva...
