Where were we?

So do you feel abandoned? Hope not! You know how sometimes life has a plan of its own...that's how I have been lately! Between my baby turning 4 and everyone getting ready for the holidays, I feel like I blinked and missed something! So since I was on here last...I am now a member of a great CT team. I am working with Tiffany at Inspiredbydominic Designs and Jaya with JayaPrem's Hangout. And I am having so much fun! I have gotten my scrap mojo back and been a scrapping fool! I am also now on the Inspiration Lane Rave Bridage, so I am also on the forum showing love to all the great layouts! This also has been wonderful because I have found so many styles and creations that motivate me to be a better scrapper!

Now, I have been working this week with Jaya's Boys Will Be Boys kit exclusively at Scrapable. WOW! Fun kit because it is all masculine and everything but not in your traditional "Boy" colors.


Here are a few LOs I made using this kit....



And here's a freebie for you!!!!

Zachisms and being published!

I am a little giddy! I am so excited that I opened up my blog page and noticed that I have been published! WHOOHOO! I had shared a finished product using a template with the designer and she used it on her page! Check it out! http://midnightscrapping.blogspot.com

After a long, but fun day, I decided to share some precious moments from my boys this week! First, my boys have been at home with me almost all summer and when I went to work for a little while yesterday, they decided to go with me! I was suprised but secretly thrilled because they usually choose to spend time with Papa. But they have become Mama's Boys this summer and I am going to miss them next week when I go to work! Now for the funnies....ZACHISMS! Anyone that knows my Zach knows he is a mess! He has his own vocabulary! A few of note lately....the TV remote is the comode! No matter how many times we tell otherwise...it is and probably will be the comode always! Next, on the phone with my mom earlier this week, he told her he was eating butt beans. However, we were really having butter beans...he decided they were butt beans! LOL! Last, my parents took the boys to Cracker Barrel last night. Zach told them that he was happy and really liked going to Cracker Berry! I love that boy!

Jake received a letter from his upcoming Kindergarten teacher. While we are excited, I am concerned that she will be married shortly into the school year and possibly out for a while. Jake has struggled with transitions before and used to have issues with substitutes in preschool. Say a prayer for us that he will have a smooth transition and a great year!

I am about to head to bed...I actually slept 12 hours last night! Thanks to my loving hubby for letting me sleep in until 10 am! I felt like a new person today! I am hoping for another restful night tonight!

Blessings!

Let me catch you up!

Since I shared with you last, my mother and father-in-law have been visiting. The boys are in heaven! I am sure that Grandma and Grandpa are going to be pooped when they arrive in Florida next week. With our cooler temperatures, we have been staying close to home and doing more here...reading, reading, puzzles, riding bikes, etc. I have also been able to scrap a few more pages when the boys head to bed. I am getting really excited about some of the finished products!As I said earlier, we have been reading a lot this week. Zach has the little imagination! He is sooo entertaining, reading the story himself. Of course, he can't read the words, but what a picture he can paint from what he sees! He even added Grandma's glasses to help out! LOL!
Zach will be my creative child! He can pretend he is anything in the world and doesn't mind dressing the part...even caught him in a Tinkerbell dress next door before! LOL! He is too cute! Love that boy!

Blessings!
