My blog has been so neglected.
I’m sure it will get worse since Summer is here, the kids only have 3 days left of school.
My sister has so many gorgeous wedding photos…I still find myself scrapbooking them on occasion.
And I love finding a reason to use my Melissa Frances product.
Does anyone have fun Summer plans?
Have a beautiful day!

My blog has been so neglected this past week. I’ve been caught up in the life’s little details.
The beautiful sun has been shining and I’ve been spending time with my family outdoors.
Last week, Izabelle and I planted this year’s garden seedlings, I did some major Spring cleaning, we traveled home from Utah and celebrated Parker’s 15th birthday and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Life is full. Life is good.
I used a vintage-inspired kit from Red Lead to create the above project. I love their little birdie stamps.
May Arts Ribbon is the star of this throw pillow I made. I purchased the fun fabric at Material Girls several months back and finally put it to good use.
I hope you enjoy your weekend! I just love the weekend.
xoxo, Christie

I do love cupcakes. I really, really do.
These photos are cupcakes that I ‘pinned’ on pinterest. They make my mouth water.
Speaking of cupcakes…my little family is headed to Utah this weekend, which means we can stop HERE for cupcakes.
I’m excited to spend Easter there with extended family.
We will also celebrate Parker’s 15th birthday while we’re there. Yikes! 15!
Parker is excited to try indoor skydiving. All the thrill without the risks. Thank goodness! Hopefully I’ll be able to get some fun photos.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Doodlebug layout published in February 2012 issue of Scrap n’ Art.
I have some fun news to share! A layout that I created for my cousin, Amanda, was published in the Spring 2012 Somerset Memories Magazine!
Pretty exciting for little ‘ol me!
Be sure to get your copy, this issue is amazing! I feel honored to have my little layout published along side of so many fantastic projects.

I love this Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue line, it’s SUPER fun and easy to create with.
Ya’all know I love me some Graphic 45.
Have you seen their new Little Darlings line?
Oh. I can’t wait to get my hands on Little Darlings (oh lovely day). I think it may be my new favorite.
For now I just need to plan a trip to the beach.
A beach in Hawaii would be nice.
If I go to Hawaii, I could fill this little album with lovely beach photos.
Hey. Dreams do come true! Hawaii will be in my future. Promise.
Here’s to Summer breezes and sunny weather.

P.S.
If you have a second, check out the beautiful Diane Schultz showing off her Little Darlings line on Studio 5!

I created this little book as a gift for Dan.
Here are a few photos of the inside…
There are a lot of reasons why I love my wonderful husband.
More than I could possibly add to one little book.
And although neither him nor I are perfect…all the time (*wink, wink*), we sure do have a lot of fun together.
I am a blessed woman.
xoxo, Christie

Dan and I often talk about the first home we purchased. We still have so many fond memories of our cozy home. A lot of love was felt inside of it’s walls.
As it reads in my journaling:
From foundation to rooftop, from the walls and carpet to the grass in the yard. This was our home and we created loving memories here.
Ahhh…memory lane.

My niece, Addie looks ADORABLE in her Ladybug Girl Halloween costume. I love that she even has the rubber boots! So sweet!
If you have a little girl, the Ladybug Girl books are so much fun, my nieces LOVE them!
I hope that you’re having a wonderful week, it’s been a busy one for me…and it’s not over yet. I still have dinner guests coming over tomorrow (I always worry more about cleaning my house than the meal…cooking is easy). And on Friday, Izabelle is having five of her friends over to make cupcakes, watch movies and…scrapbook. It’s going to be fun!

There are so many ways to use Crepe Paper, I love to make flowers.
The following is a Thanksgiving centerpiece that I created for Scrap n’ Arts magazine.
Do you ever create using crepe paper? What have you made with it?
I enjoyed my girls weekend in Utah, I hope that you had a wonderful weekend also.

One title for two projects.
The kids thoroughly enjoyed trying on different Halloween Costumes last October.
And I had fun taking photos of them. We love Halloween at our house, it’s always fun to decorate and dress up…oh, and eat LOTS of candy.
I can’t believe we’re already half way through January. SLOW DOWN January!
I’m finally getting over my cold (mostly) so it’s back to business as usual…It’s been hard enough to get back in the swing of things after the holidays. Now, if I could just get motivated to get some work done.
It would probably help if my husband wasn’t watching Pushing Daisies on DVD. Love that show…it’s making it really hard to get up off the couch.
Have a wonderful day!
Love your couch potato friend,
Christie
xoxo
