From Friday

The Teresa Collins class was awesome! It was great to have such a talented designer share her techniques with you as you scrapbook. I am proud to say that I completed my project from that class...of course it wasn't that same day but I did complete it. I have not taken any pictures yet but I will soon.

Picture of Teresa Collins and I!

Thanks Teresa for that wonderful class and for the inspiring thoughts and ideas. Keep creating those fabulous products for all of us to use!

A Slight Delay

I was unable to complete the 2 projects I had blogged about previously. They should be complete later this week. There is a whole lot going on with us right now...but it's all for the better. I will blog about it later.
Also, I am preparing for the Teresa Collins class on Friday at The Red Bee in Tustin, CA. I am so excited about that!!

My Girl

I have 3 nieces. They are such a joy to be around. I find myself taking oh sooo many pictures of them. You would think they were my own daughters.

As I took the picture above, I immediately thought of all those hundreds of other nieces (or daughters, sisters, etc.) out there that are waiting to be placed in to their very own mini albums. This is my solution; the "My Girl" mini album. This was originally started as a "Baby Girl" mini album, but then I thought that was too specific. I wanted it to be used to scrap a girl of any age!

The "My Girl" mini album will be completed sometime on Sunday and ready for posting on etsy shortly after.

School is Cool

At least it was for me! This is a school themed mini album I've been working on...since before school started. It's modeled for my nephew but I can customize it for anyone. This will be posted for sale on my etsy store just as soon as I can complete it...should be very soon.

Time to Start

I was going to wait until November 1st, but what better time than now to start...to start with more frequent blog posts and peeks of my little creations. I've been so busy with everyday other "stuff" that I have neglected that which makes me the happiest, SCRAPPING!! I will start, again, today. I have so many projects in mind and in the works. I vow to start working on this today. You will hear from me again soon!

April 23rd II

Yesterday was my birthday (Happy Birthday to me)! A while back I purchased a fish that was a birthday gift to me, and I named it April 23rd. Well, a few months back my poor little fish died (I think he was killed by my brother-in-law that didn't clean out the fish tank properly). So I decided to get another fish on my birthday and name HER, April 23rd II (the second). She is the one closest to the front (white and orange). Isn't she cute?!!?!?!

Count down

I am starting my count down today...June 26, 2009 we are going on vacation!!!

Kaitlyn's 1st Birthday

This past weekend we celebrated my niece Kaitlyn's 1st birthday! I can't believe a year has gone by since she was born, wow time flies!
I made her a scrapbook 8x8 album - it came out pretty great, I must say! You can see some of the album pages in the slide show but I will make a separate post to display the entire album (once I get the pages scanned and uploaded). Enjoy the slide show.

Our Valentine's Day Date

Well, this year was interesting...it seemed as though we were a new couple (we've been married for 10 months and dated for 5 years prior to getting married). We had learned a long time ago not to go out on Valentine's Day because everyone else does, so we simply wouldn't - we would either celebrate later or celebrate by staying in and watching a movie or just getting take-out. This year I was determined to break the cycle and go out for Valentine's Day. I made reservations 1 month in advance - and it worked!!! We had brunch at the Orange Hill Restaurant. It was so worth it! There were no long lines, the food was delicious, and for anyone that has been there before, the prices were very reasonable. We had a great time and as always the view was spectacular! Enjoy the pics...

Phone book

My mother-in-law asked me to make a list of everyone's cell/phone numbers for her (by everyone she meant her kids, me, and other close relatives)...the short story is that she had a "cooking" emergency on Christmas eve that she had to tend to but needed to get a hold of someone to help her. By coincidence I had stopped by to drop off some gifts and I was able to help her. That is when she asked me for the list, to avoid this happening in the future. As a result this is what I made for her:

This was an inspiration from a post I saw on Jennifer Priest's blog (Thanks Jennifer for the idea).

Dog Party

Yes, a Dog Party - my dog turned 3 years of age (human years) on January 30th and we had a dog party for him on Sunday February 1st. This is the invitation I created for the party:

I will post pictures of the party sometime next week (when I find the time)!

New Year Goodies

I was looking through the pictures on my Compact Flash card and discovered some treasures from New Year's. I thought of giving my siblings a gift for New Year's Day. I thought "something sweet to start the year". I made them each a bottle full of candy that was decorated with some sort of festive decorations, most of them were "Christmasy" since I still had the Christmas spirit! These are some of them as I only remembered to take pictures of 1 of the 4 I made:
