Happy Saturday!

What a great day! Not much going on. Ava is helping her daddy build something which gave me time to organize my scrap room. This in turn inspired me to make a paper layout. I was feeling stressed about how good or not so good- my paper skills are that I was not having any fun. The I said to myself-stop stressing this is supposed to be fun. I agreed with myself. I am glad we had our chat because I like my layout and it was even fun! Hope you have a lovely Saturday.

This is love....

I love these photos of Ava and my Sophie. I think she is gonna be a dog person too. :) Actually she already is...makes My heart smile.

I have been working on the house lately. Been painting and removing wallpaper. One room left and the house will be paper free!! I am sure that the paper in my house was quite possibly the ugliest ever! I am trying to convince John that we should paint the kitchen cabinets. He is on the fence about it. I bought a cabinet like my kitchen and I am going to experiment on it. Cross your fingers!!!

I have been seriously considering something as of late. I have had several people trying to convince me to start a photography business. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone may have on this. Since I decided to take this semester off school I would have the time for it. Just don't know ifI am ready artistically or emotionally. Like I said any thoughts???

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day to you! We have been crafting. Ava made her Daddy a card. She is really getting into arts and crafts. However, her nails are black from the all the stamping ink. People probably think I never wash the child's hands...We made cupcakes yesterday. It was my first time baking them from scratch. They were vanilla with home made buttercream icing. If you have only had cupcakes from a mix, these are quite different. Very tasty! I got my recipie from Chockylit ...John bought me a watch for Christmas that I returned. I had the money stashed for when I found something I wanted. After talking with my friend Ana she convinced me I needed a splurge. So, I bought the AMAZING 28mm 1.8 lens. I LOVE it. I love having the ability to get a wide angle shot and also take portraits without moving so far back. I plan on playing with it a lot so be on the look out for new pics!!Hope your day is filled wth LOVE!!

We had a great weekend. Jonah had his sleepover. They were really good boys. Ava was such a little flirt. She really is a people person...We did a little shopping in Indy. I took Ava to Archivers. We bought some goodies to make valentines. She had a blast. She is really into stamping. We bought some animal stamps to play with. I will post some photos of our creations. Hope you all have a great evening!

Happy Friday!

So happy for Friday! Not any big plans. Jonah is having a friend over tonight. I thought it was sweet he took him in the office and said he wanted to show him something cool...My layout is in the Fast and Fabulous idea book. Such a sweet boy.

I have been getting some really cute photos of Ava. I got these of her singing where is Thumbkin? Made a little storyboard for your viewing pleasure...Have a wonderful weekend!!

Quick post...

just a quick post. Ava was so adorable eatting cherries... Be back later with more photos...

Monday...

It is Monday. They seem to come about rather quickly...I had a conversation with Ava this morning.
Ava "Love you all the skies and stars."
Moma "Who do you love?
Ava "You Mommy."
Moma "Why do you love me?
Ava "'Cause you're booful Mommy."

Thought this was so cute....
I have a busy week ahead so I will try to update before the end of the week.
I will leave you with a couple of photos. Love the one of Ava and my mom. They adore each other.

Playing with paper...

I have been printing off photos today. I thought it was about time I got some of them up on the wall. I just love framing photos. I was actually inspired to create an actual paper scrapbook layout. Haven't done that in oh, maybe a year? It was fun. I actually made it 11x14 and framed it for Ava's room. Not a very good photo but itis pretty cute, if I do say so myself. Stay tuned, I plan on scrapping as long as I have the bug. :) Enjoy your evening!!

Happy Friday...

It is Friday which makes me happy. Not that I have any exciting plans. But it is the weekend so I am happy. I have been scrapping more lately which has made me happy. I wish I had more time to just play in photoshop. Don't we all?.....Here is my latest creation which I have printed and framed and hanging on my wall. :) See how creative I have been? Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
