An Award & A Bella

Again with the stars ;) I'm really into stars lately. I used this robot from Bella stamps and paper pieced on him. And added a bunch of buttons. You should see my button hoard...I can't get enough buttons.

Only a couple more weeks until little Miss goes back to school and it's bittersweet for me. I'll miss her tons but I know she's excited and ready for school to start.

My Blog Friend Wendy passed this award onto me. She is just the sweetest and always leaves me such wonderful comments. I'm sure that we would get along fabulously if we met in person! Take a look at her awesome blog!

Here are a few questions I am to answer about myself. ;)

working-style: I have a degree in psychology and I love working with kids. I have taken a break from my career to stay at home with my kiddies. I do work from home but it is something outside my main area of interest. I plan to continue my education when the kids are a little older.

living-style: My husband & I are living with our 3 kiddies in our "first home." Things are a little tight now with 3 kiddies and we hope to move soon.

holiday-style: I come from a large family and love being together with them. We always have yummy food and lots of presents! Handmade gifts are my favorite kind of gifts to give and receive.

girlfriends-style: I am lucky to have some really great friends. My BFF's are the kinda people that make life better. I love being around people that like to laugh and that I can be myself with.

hobby-style:I have LOTS of hobbies. I love to try new things and I'm not afraid to fail every once in a while so that translates into me doing a little bit of everything. Including scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking, card making, crocheting, photography, cooking, baking, & sewing. I also love to read and play volleyball.

Thanks for stopping by!

TGF 2 Year Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to The Greeting Farm and Marie. TGF images are just adorable and bring so many people so much happiness. I've had such a great time being a part of TGF Scrapbooking & Digital Scrapbooking.
I made my first easel card today and used this adorable Oliver. I drew and cut out my big Dino to add to the top.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Anniversary to TGF.

I'm playing along with Scrappy Frogs Stitching challenge and Dutch Dare's Anything goes challenge.

Sweet Mermaid

As some of you have seen Kelly at KLSNS has decided to close the virtual doors to her store. Kelly is such a wonderful person and I know what a passion she has for crafting so I'm sure this decision wasn't an easy one. I used this CC Design from the store. I absolutely love Amy's SNS stamps, they are always so adorable.

Stamp & Create's theme is stitching...which if you look closely I have done ;)
Also, SSS theme is Dots.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

The Greeting Farm Scrapbook Challenge

We have another Scrapbooking Challenge for you today at The Greeting Farm. I made this sketch for this weeks challenge. I used some fun stamps from "In the Spotlight" kit. When I first saw this sentiment "I'm happiest when I'm around you" I knew it would be perfect for a family pic cause that's exactly how I feel about my hubby and kids. DH is my best friend and we love to laugh.

I would love if you'd play along this week using my sketch...and there is a prize up for grabs as always. And who wouldn't want some The Greeting Farm freebies?

A few Challenges I'm entering:
Crafty Angels-Summer (my pic)
Quixotic-Distress
Practical Scrappers-buttons
Our Creative Corner- blossoms
