just sharing.

I have been missing out on a big part of my own life lately. Scrapbooking has always been a priority for me, (well since I became a mother anyway) but since the twins were born, I have found it incredibly hard to find any time. Or when I have had the time, the creative juices were not flowing! I am sure it's due to lack of sleep, stress, and being overwhelmed with how far behind I have gotten on my books!

At the start of the new year I decided I was going to make time to scrap, and I actually HAVE!!! I have done 21 new pages since the beginning of January. It feels so good to be doing something creative again. I have missed it so much.

Here are some of the new layouts I've done:

just for fun....

p.s. the link just brings you to the main page, but just clicking the link from here registers your vote. You don't have to do anything else :)

tiffany + eric

My little sister Tiffany and her husband Eric came up for a photo shoot and one last visit before they move down to Texas.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from today:














They are such a cute couple, and Tiffany is just gorgeous. I love doing shoots with her.

Muah. I love you Tiffy. I hope you like the photos! I am going to miss you!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Not in London

FYI: My hotmail email address has been hacked into, so if you've recieved an email from me saying I need help or need money they are not from me! I am most definitely NOT in London! If you use my hotmail account to email me, please switch to my gmail account for now, until I get this straightened out! Thanks!

She's been working very hard on her reading skills, and it is showing! I am so proud of her.

we need sunshine.

We are all feeling a little cooped up these days! The big kids especially. They have been roller blading and roller skating in the porch. I wish we could be doing that outside....
