California and Back Again

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Hello Friends!  I’m home!

I loved my little break from the Idaho snow and really enjoyed all the GREEN in California.  It’s so beautiful there right now.

We had a little birthday Party for Parker while in CA last Friday night…he turned 13!   I can’t believe that my son is a teenager!  Watch out world (or maybe it’s just me and my hubby that need to watch out)!

It was so fun to visit family and friends.  I really needed to see each and every one of them.  My cup runneth over.

We drove into our driveway last night and the snow was gone!  This morning I awoke to the sun shining through the window, it’s fabulous…must have brought home a little California sunshine.

I have lots of projects and California photos to share, I’m sure they will fill more than a few posts…for now I thought I’d share a couple of cards that I made with my leftover Cosmo Cricket paper, both simple but both say “Spring” to me.

I’m looking forward to catching up on all of your blogs!

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Cosmo Cricket {Garden Variety}

My new nephew, Cooper was the inspiration for my “Sweet Pea” Cosmo Cricket Layout.

I love the “Garden Variety” Line, it’s just perfect for a new baby…and…well, a garden.

I had fun sewing on this layout (around the frame and to gather the lace at the bottom).

Is it bad to put lace on a little boy layout?

I guess the “boy” rules go out the window because I think the lace shall stay.

Here’s a shot of the entire layout:

We’re headed off to California tomorrow! I’m so excited to see these little cuties:

My sweet nieces, Miss Kayla and Miss Addie.
