Sunny Days

Hi everyone!  Today was absolutely beautiful!  We had temperatures of 62 degrees!  It's amazing how much some sunshine and warmer weather just makes you feel good all over! 
   I had a nice lunch today with Linda, and then some awesome shopping at Joanns... then it was off to Lil's card class with all the ladies!  What an awesome bunch they are!  It's always wonderful to walk in and see all their smiling faces!  Plus, we are making cards!  I love it because I am at least getting 3 or 4 done a week for Operation Write Home!   This coming Thursday, we are meeting at the Roy Community Center to get together and make whatever!  If you'd like to join us, come on down!  We are meeting at noon, and would love to visit with ya!
     Well, been busy designing things for Fancy Pants... I'm including a few photos of some projects.  I've also been working on a baby book for a friend of ours from England, who is having a baby girl in a few months!  The first photo is of a layout I did with the BE YOU line... I absolutely love this line!  There is so much you can do with it!  It's got Alanna in it... all the way back to her 16th birthday!  Cannot believe my 'baby' is going to be 23 at the end of this month!  Sheesh... where does the time go?
    The next photo is one I made using the CHILDISH THINGS line.  It's of Beckett eating his spaghetti... If only I could post a video of him eating, and then throwing it all over the house when he was done!  Ed-grrr was loving all the spaghetti on the floor!
     The last picture is of Miss Piper face playing at the base water park!  Dave and I had so much fun watching her, and were amazed at how much she is JUST LIKE SOPHIA!!  It was like watching a mini-Sophie!  I love how blue her eyes look in the close up of her!  This layout is done with the SUMMER SOUL line... another beautiful line to work with!



    Hope you enjoy the pics, and get some good ideas!  Next time, I'll start posting the pictures of the baby book! Thanks for visiting, and God Bless!

Toodles!

Valentine's Day...

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  I hope you have all had a wonderful day celebrating the love you have for your family!  On this very day, 29 years ago, my husband and I went on our first date... we went to see the movie STRIPES, with Bill Murray.  It was hilarious, and we still watch it sometimes!  After the movie, we went to my apartment, and I made us tacos.  The rest is history, so to speak!  To celebrate, we went to our favorite mexican restaurant for dinner tonight!  Margaritas and enchiladas... yummmm!
    Now on to other things... specifically, scrappin'... My news I mentioned in my last blog post....
 
I have been invited to be on the Fancy Pants design team!

   I've already completed my first assignment... it is a little envelope booklet using the LOVE STORY line... this line is so much fun!   I had a blast creating each little layout!  I am so glad to have been given this opportunity to 'play' with Fancy Pants products!
This is probably  my favorite layout... as soon as I saw the little envelopes, I knew I had to make tiny peek-a-boo windows!  Yes, I was having way too much fun!
