Saturday

It's Saturday, which means - the weekend is almost over. HAHA. Actually it means I do a lot of running around and feel like I get nothing done. When in actuality I get quite a bit done. I have lots on the agenda this weekend. Including putting together a program by the end of Sunday. Must get started on this. :)

Here are some projects I created with the MemoryWorks Express kit (April 2009) to give you a little inspiration this weekend.

It is a book and I'm using it for Inspiration type projects. Like pictures that inspire me, papers that inspire me. Items that inspire me. :)

A half card. I love taking the pre cut cards in the MemoryWorks Express Kits - folding them like a normal card and cutting it in half! It's a great way to make more cards and mini- cards! They also fit nicely in envelopes since they are half the size.


Finally a 6 x 12 layout about me! I love playing around with different sized layouts.



I will share a "notebook" project that is very easy to create later this week. Hopefully I can get on the ball as well and get my knitting up. I will be selling some fingerless gloves. I will link you to my Etsy store when I finally get the stuff posted!! :)

Happy Saturday World!

Hoppy Easter

I just wanted to say Hoppy Easter and here is a cute picture of my nephew!

HAPPY EASTER!

2009 - 2010 MemoryWorks Catalog is now here!!

I am THRILLED to announce the release of the 2009 - 2010 MemoryWorks Catalog. Each and every year MemoryWorks releases an amazing catalog and EVERY year it gets better and better. This year is no exception. Just this morning they released a PDF version of the NEW catalog! And wow - am I going to be broke!

Here is the cover of the new catalog. The contents are to DIE for!!

I have been a MemoryWorks consultant since 2005 and this will be my third year on their design team. I LOVE this company and believe in everything they do. This is my 4th catalog release I've been through and 5th catalog I've had with MemoryWorks. I don't think I can ever say enough awesome things about this company.

Flooding...

Well I've been MIA in life. HAHA. The past 1 1/2 weeks I have been sporadic at work. With all the snow we got this winter - the Red River was BOUND to flood. Except I guess we didn't think it would be this bad. I think the community came together though and really stopped the river from making our town a BIG lake.

I pretty much didn't work for a week or only worked half days. I was helping sandbag and building dikes. Then there was a blizzard. I think Mother Nature hates North Dakota. I'm just hoping for spring soon!!!

Everything is fine now - but they do believe it will crest again. The first crest was a record at 40.83 or something like that.

Life has finally got back to "normal". Whatever that may be. I will post pictures once I upload them to this computer. It was amazing how high the river got (and still is). We are not in the clear yet.

Weekends

Weekends go by so quickly. I am always so busy I feel like I get nothing done. This past weekend was crazy, but lots of fun. My friend Alexi was in town from California! It was so great to see him and hang out with him. Also, I was in the St. Patty's parade for Monty (my trainer). It was finally a pretty nice day - meaning I didn't have to wear a coat!!! Well if you live in warm states - you would probably be wearing a winter coat. The temp was in the mid-30s! Finally and today the temps will be in the high 40s (crazy I think this is warm).

I hope to get some scrapbooking done this week though. I have a fun make & take I made last week. I will be showing it on the MemoryWorks message board next week. So I will share it when I launch it there. :) It's a little notepad.

Other then that my life is uneventful. :) Maybe that is okay though.

Little Lucas

The thrill of being an Aunt is unexplainable. It is one of the most exciting things in my life that I've experienced. Little Lucas is 1 week old today. Happy 1 week old birthday little guy. I was so excited to visit him last weekend. Even though he was a few days old - I enjoyed holding him, giving him kisses, and just loving him. While he slept (aw the life). I look forward to seeing Lucas grow up. But hope he stays a baby for awhile. I love how little he is.

Here are a few more pictures from last weekend. I'm so excited to see him again, I know he will have grown a little by the next time I see him, probably be on more of a schedule and be awake longer then 5 min :)

Auntie LACEY!!! I love being an aunt!



And Little Lucas




Oh and he has the longest fingers!!! It is crazy and the cutest little toes.

Lucas Chad

My nephew Lucas Chad is ADORABLE!!!! He is so little. Seriously a little peanut. He weights 7 lbs 1 ounce and 20" long. He didn't cry much yesterday and slept pretty much the entire time. When he did cry (diaper changing time) he has the cutest little baby cry. Aw he is so adorable!!! I'm so excited to be an aunt and see this little guy grow up!

here are a few pictures (I will take lots more today!)

I am an AUNT

I think this is the most exciting day of my life. I am an AUNT!! My nephew was born this afternoon. I don't have many details at this time - my brother did not tell my mom much. So I am waiting for the phone call with more information.

I will be going to visit this weekend and I finally get to meet my little nephew whom I already love with all my heart.

Ok here come the tears - it's finally all settling in.

MemoryWorks Challenges

This month TeamWorks Member Sandy & I are hosting Message Board Challenges for MemoryWorks (you can only access the message board if you are a consultant). Today's challenge is "Spring Into Color". The color pallet below is the one we are working with. I created a cute little notebook with these colors.



Here is the notebook i created.



I think it has been awhile since I have shared scrapbooking projects on my blog. I need to do this more often! This project was quick and easy to put together. And I'm giving it to a little girl who likes to doodle. :)
