We went to see Santa this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And had our photos taken with him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love this photo of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
them talking with him so diligently.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I struggled this year with our tree colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to go back to the Red and Gold. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have tons of these decorations stored downstairs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But these blues and browns match</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our Living Room so well. I love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this color combination so much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus my mother made me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this lovely tree skirt last year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, this scheme won out. </div>

green balls to the tree this year. It helps tie in our wall color, </div>

Here is Bryson with underwear on his head. </div>

Only difference, he went with 2 pairs. :)</div>

We kept busy with family birthday parties, weddings, (<strike>nasty stomach virus boooo</strike>), and school. I even did some Christmas shopping this month. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to photo a nontraditional wedding. It was held at a lovely park. The day was very relaxed and no pressure on the couple, guest, or myself. Sometimes its fun to break away for the expected, and do something your way. It was a nice experience!<br />

I love this time of the year. The crisp morning air and beautiful leaves turning colors makes October a fabulous month. I'm thankful to have this huge front porch to decorate for Halloween. Are you ready for Halloween. We are..... outside decorated, costumes bought, check, check. Big B is going as tree rex from skylanders and Little B is going to be Luigi again. </div>

The main challenge over there this month is to create a layout with your favorite season of the year. It comes with a fabulous twist to use 3 or more leaves on your page. <br />
<br />
My favorite season is fall. I love the crisp, fresh, clean air. I love the cool breeze in the evening and the leaves on the ground. My most favorite part is the changing colors of the leaves. I love the golds, yellows, and especially the reds. I love red leaves. I choose a photo of my dear Blake, taken in front of a tree, filled with those precious red leaves, right in our back yard, this last fall. <br />
<br />
I used the Cosmo Cricket Mr. Campy papers. FINALLY!!! I've had them forever. Seriously, 2008 I would guess. Loved them in the store and got home nothing worked. The plaid was really throwing me off and the fast that I never go camping . Back then I had to use the paper theme as it was intended.... yeah not anymore. But the great shades of red, yellow, green and golds were perfect for fall photos. <br />
<br />
Could this cute line from CC have started the tree/ wood phase of products? I don't know, but I do know I love this print. <br />
<br />

<b>Hello Crafty friends!!!!!!</b></div>
<br />
I can't believe August is gone. Summer has packed his bags and ran away for the year. We are on the second week in September, and school has been in for over a month now. I love the schedule this brings to the month, yet I don't like B being away all day. I miss him. He is doing great in school this year!!! I feel he was placed with a wonderful teacher that truly cares. Thus far, 100% on all 4 spelling test, which I am very proud of. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://twistedtuesdaychallenges.blogspot.com/2013/09/2tc58-primary-colors-with-buttons.html?showComment=1378873655455#c9168143783382634545">Twisted Tuesday</a> has their new challenge up.You need to use primary colors, and some buttons on your project. Easy peasy right, as my son would say. I used red and blue with a touch of yellow, and placed 4 blue buttons in the corner to act as tacks. Head over there and join in on the fun. You have until this Sunday to link. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here is my creation for them. This is one of those photos I've had for while and needed to get scrapped before I forget the little details now that b#2 is ready to potty train. I used more papers from my dwindling stash. Yay me!!! I did have a moment of weakness and a $10 gift card that I won from <a href="http://www.papersecrets.net/">Paper Secrets</a>, so I purchased the Into the woods collection by Lawn Fawn, my first stuff from them and the Echo Park Boys mini collection. ;) ;)<br />

We had a fun time school shopping this year. He is your typical boy and was picking things out and other times he was ready to go. In the end, I think we did pretty good. I wasn't to fond of these no tie converse, as I wanted the regular black ones, but these do look so adorable on him. I love them now!!! I believe You have to let kids have their own style, so they can become their own little strong minded and independent person. It will boost their confidence levels, if they like and feel good about their outfits. I can't stand when parents won't let their child have a "kiddie" backpack, skinny jeans, kiddie character shirt, or a pink shirt etc. See the true blue skinny jeans B picked out all by himself. They are actually semi-skinny jeans so I was happy about that., as I HATE skinny jeans on boys/teen/men. Yuck!!<br />

Missing from the photo is his sneaker. I waited too long for shoe shopping and they were out of his sizes in every shoes we liked so I had to order these and wait for shipping. The Reebok Zig is a great shoe and it last. (disclaimer: he wears 3-4 pairs of shoes throughout the entire school year from beginning to end) But his zigs from last year are still great looking shoes. <br />

I happened upon <a href="http://www.papersecrets.net/2013/07/july-15th-sketch-challenge-with-twist.html">Paper Secrets</a> where they were asking for "project life style cards and a lovely page maps sketch. Now I do love those cards, yet I don't use them very often. I guess I kinda forget about them. This sketch runs through July 31st so come play if you wanna.<br />

We're back from a much needed vacation. Our first family vacation actually. We visited Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I don't particular care for the beach, or water in general, but Blake has been asking for a couple of years now to go to the beach. In the end it wasn't as he expected. A never ending stretch of land filled with huge sand castles and palm trees. You know like they show on cartoons. But we had fun!!! </div>

We stayed at <a href="http://www.landmarkresort.com/">The Landmark Resort</a>. It was very clean and wonderful. I loved that our actual room looked just like the room posted online. Dark furniture, granite counters and great house keeping service made our stay comfortable.

My youngest Bryson, loved the pools and the kiddie water park. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He called them the clean water. He didn't care for the ocean, and would actually run up the sand yelling "run run away" each time a wave would come in. He would say Bryson don't like the dirty water, LOL. He did like the sand though. </div>

Blake wasn't fond of the ocean in the beginning, but got use to it quickly. He enjoyed looking for shells, playing in the sand, and walking in the waves. </div>

I really loved the current inspiration photo at <a href="http://theseinspiredchallenges.blogspot.ca/">Inspired By</a>. I love the bare wood floor. The lovely shade of orange/ peach color and the distress age of the paint. I love the punch of black and white strips which reminded me of zebra print by the way. But what caught my eye, was the large bold black E in the top left. I had to play along. My mind immediately went back to Challenge #13, I saw on the Little tangles blog. I paired the inspiration photo with the embellish it challenge going on over at <a href="http://littletangles.blogspot.ca/2013/05/challenge-13-embellish-it.html">Little tangles</a> and the results, I love.<br />
<br />
I think the similar colors for the photo and the black lettering's in both work together fabulous. I dug into my embellishment stash and discovered this chipboard "B" I purchase in 2007, when Blake was born. I also used some rhinestones, an orange button, twine, wood veneer circle, and a piece of forgotten chipboard. I also use a digital stamp that I love from their free section. You can't beat that! Its a fabulous embellishment. Find it<a href="http://littletangles.blogspot.ca/p/free-digi-stamps.html"> here</a>. <br />
<br />
Again I went diving into my bin and pulled out these MME Oh la la papers. I only made one<a href="http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/105854/view/2785397/-1/0/1.html"> Layout (see it here)</a> with them, but loved the color combo. Funny how that page was made in June 2010, but has similarities to this new layout. <br />

Hello Everyone!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to share a layout I made last night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the last year, Bryson has said I you, for I love you. Its the cutest thing!!! But as he is growing older its turning into, I love you instead. I don't want to forget this stage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I'm really trying to work on that stash of supplies, instead of buying new. I'm really loving this new to me blog, called <a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/">Scrap Our Stash</a>. It gets me digging in to my supplies and working with what I have. The current challenge is live and prompts use to 3 different pattern papers from 3 different collections. I dig into the 2009 era and pulled out America Crafts play (cream paper), DCVW the green stack (tree print) and October Afternoon fly a kite (teal print) for this page. I also use one of the noteworthy journal sheets and some rubons from pink paislee. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Last weekend we took the boys to see Disney On Ice. We had a great family day. Bryson loved the "cars" portion of the show. Which was the main reason we wanted to go. While I felt the show, was very cute, I did feel like that portion of the show could have been a bit longer. It was literally all of 5 minutes. (I recorded it) When the cars left the ice, Bryson cried and cried. He was not a fan of "the fairies (Tinkerbell). Once Little Mermaid entered he was happy again. The toy story part was very cute. I loved the toy soldiers song and dance. The husband didn't care for this portion as it did not resemble the army way of marching, carrying the guns, etc. I guess once a soldier always a soldier. </div>

Happy scrappy day everyone. I hope you found a few hours to sneak away and create something fabulous today. I decide to play along with <a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.com/2013/05/national-scrapbook-day-event.html">Scrap Our Stash</a>, as I'm trying to use what I have stored, instead of buying more this year. The prompt was to pick items from the list, find those in your stash, and use them. I used 6 brads, twine, layered stickers, bling. This style of LO is waaaay out of my comfort zone, but I like it. The photos were taken on 4th of July last year. Our little city always has mini fair set up at the local park. The boys love to visit it and wait for the fireworks to began. </div>

I really love the huge flower, and the what I consider, classic feel of the sketch. I have a few larger flowers left and wanted to use those. I mirrored the design and changed the banner to use up some felt flourishes in my stash. I dug deep in my mixed pattern paper bin and found these old old Basic Grey Ambrosia papers. I think they were 2008 or maybe 2009. I kept the busy background feel, and the general layout of the papers. I did eliminate the two strips down the center in exchange for two pretty black butterflies to fill the top space. I used my Silhouette to cut the butterflies. <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=2647">Silhouette Store <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.333333015441895px;">Design ID #2647.</span></a> </span> This is my smallest little B when he still had the baby curls on his head. Oh how times flies, when they are little. <br />

I am so glad to finally have some new stuff to post. Even more so to finally get around to using some of those papers I just had to have. Yet once they got home, I couldn't for the life of me cut them, because they were to pretty, or I just didn't know how to use them, therefore I never cut into not wanting to mess them up. Do tell me I'm not the only one who does that!!! Im making process now.<br />

Since I've been out of the scrappy world for so long now, I 'm finding myself stuck often. So I was off reading random blogs, when I came across <a href="http://www.frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/">Frosted Designs</a>. They prompted us to use a sketch and doilies. </div>

The doilies caught my eye and I decided to play along. I'm trying to use old papers and products. If I start buying new products these will get pushed aside. The papers are from Amy Tangerine Sketchbook collection. I cut the doilies with the cameo, using a free file I found <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/free-digital-cut-files/">HERE</a>. The photos are from Easter 2011. Yes, B had blue hair, but it was only the spray in stuff. I like to make the holidays special. <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">Here is my interpretation of the sketch. </span></div>

My son's Kindergarten class, went on their very first field trip. We visited a place called <a href="http://www.inkfun.org/">I.N.K</a>. Ink stands for Interactive Neighborhood for Kids. Basically its like a little city inside a building where children pretend to work in rolls you would find a city. <span style="background-color: white;">Veterinarian</span>, doctor, pilot, lemonade stand, musician, actor, cashier, hair dresser and postal worker were among some of the activities they could work,ok play in. Blake had a blast and wants to visit the place again. He was really interested in the medical portion of the trip. I would love for him to enter the medical field, as I always wanted to be a nurse. </div>

One can't really revive unless they put in a little effort. I followed the trend, and went with a clean and simple design using colors I love. A beautiful Aqua shade paired with pink and gray.! This nearly breath taking, well at least in my eyes, shade of green/blue has always been one of my favorites and I love seeing it in style, season, fashion now. Now thats over with.<br />
March 29, 2013 was my 10th wedding anniversary. Oddly enough, we were married exactly a year after we first meet. Some said that was crazy, others said it would never last, but for us it worked. A military career including deployments & injuries, 6 cars, 5 homes, 2 kids, and a dog later were still hanging in there. Marriage is not easy but you make it work if you want too.<br />

Georgia has been nasty, windy, cold and wet so I'm still waiting to take some shots to show you some new scrappy work. If the lovely crazy Georgia weather clears up soon, I will get on that. I finally got around to using Cosmo's Mr Campy line. I've only had it since like 2008 or something close to that. I loved the line in the store, but once I made it home, I didn't have any clue how to use it. Does that ever happen to you? So it sat around only to be pulled out looked at and stuck back in the drawer. Fast forward to an almost two year long scrappy break, and two little adventurous boys playing in the leaves in our backyard. Suddenly the papers and the photos were perfect and the pages fell together without effort. I literally used 99% of the all papers that I had purchased from this collection. I was a scrappy happy gal that night.<br />

Now that the Easter Bunny has came and left his goodies I am heading back to bed.

Its truly been forever since I last posted anything here. In fact, my last update was over a year ago. What have I been doing you may ask? Everything! Everyday life, work and all the fun times little boys bring to ones life. Along with painting, decorating and souring the Internet and online shops for arm chairs, drapery medallions, peacocks, and other odds and ins. By the way, arm chairs are a real bitch to locate. Ok, well at least decent ones, at a somewhat affordable prices are impossible. I'm still looking. <br />
<br />
<br />
I finally painted the art/tech room a lovely light blue green shade. I wanted to paint the walls pink, but my 5 year old insisted that if I painted pink then that would mean no boys allowed and he and Bry would miss me. He would miss me, because he could <u style="background-color: #ffe599;">never</u> come in the pink room. <i>Gotta love little minds</i>! I made a trip to the famous Ikea and bought the Cameo. After about 2 years away from the hobby, I finally made a layout. Plus it was made using new at that time, but stored away for two years products. Yay. Then I went on to make about 20 more. hehe.<br />

I will leave you with a photo of my little guys. <br />

<br />
We are still trying to get settled and get the new house completely live in ready. This means I am busy painting, buying and decorating. Therefore this leaves no time for crafts. All my things are still pack up and waiting patiently to come on again. I will be back, but in the mean time I will have a pretty house first.

After what seems like forever, we are finally settling into the new house. It was quite an experience to say the least.<br />
<br />
I'll show you Blakes room first. He chose Super Mario themed. I'm not a huge fan of themed rooms, but I like to see my kiddos happy. It is their room after all. Blake's wall paint is from Glidden, called Clear Blue Sky. The vinyl removable re-positionable stickers came from <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereisit.cgi?t=mario&x=12&y=16">Think geek</a>. They are super cool and really makes him room.<br />

Somewhere around the middle of August we will be moving to our new house!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l_f_LuE5xho/ThpcA0RQtDI/AAAAAAAAB0c/T5Puq-_34fw/s1600/423.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l_f_LuE5xho/ThpcA0RQtDI/AAAAAAAAB0c/T5Puq-_34fw/s320/423.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627911853453653042" border="0" /></a><br />The inspection went good with only a couple of very minor things reported. Now we are waiting for the appraisal from the VA, then we're good to move forward to closing.<br /><br /><br /><br />The boys and I are very anxious about this space. Our new playroom/craft area. We are going to share this space for awhile, until we can finish the basement. Then dads radio room is moving downstairs. My craft room, will move into the 4th bedroom. Its located on the other side wall with the map photo, so I will still be close by. This will give the boys the whole space for playing.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2_Cxisto4vA/Thpa7CToTvI/AAAAAAAABz0/tAPyW20FA34/s1600/17_4228159_15.jpg"><br /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-07xDecPk7f0/ThpcaL_fxUI/AAAAAAAAB0k/zX0GNgby3qU/s1600/17_4228159_15.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-07xDecPk7f0/ThpcaL_fxUI/AAAAAAAAB0k/zX0GNgby3qU/s320/17_4228159_15.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627912289318323522" border="0" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14423073523879220143noreply@blogger.com5
