Thought I would sit and write about the happenings of the last few days. Well, yesterday was a fun day. I attended a baby shower for a friend and was so excited. I made a cute word book scrapbook for daughter-to-be and she loved it. It is always hard to create something for someone else, I never know if they will have the same taste as me. I was nervous going because I left Leah home with the boys (Aaron and Tyson) I have never left her home at bedtime. This would have been her first time with the bottle (my milk of course) and it scared me. I held onto my cell during the whole shower. As bed time approached then passed I relaxed, IT HAD WORKED I thought. I got a call at 8:05, it was Ty, I knew I was going to have to go home right away, but I was wrong. Leah was great, took the bottle and fell asleep. Aaron on the other hand was not okay. He had gotten a hold of a full box of corn starch that was left on our buffet in our living room. He dumped it all out on our carpet, rubbed it into our beautiful shag, ate it and played in it. Fun times. Uncle Jon (Frantz) was at our house and gratefully got the camera and snapped a few photos. Most of it has come out of the carpet and buffet. I woke up this morning and discovered a beautiful "dust" covering on most of our furniture! This incident alone had made me thankful that I went to the shower, I did not have to clean it up!
Well, I have been into a crafty mood as of late, and I can thank my hubby for that. For Christmas He gave me the Pazzles inspiration cutter. AWESOME. This baby is way better than my cricut!! It is a die cutting system that cuts paper (any thickness, chipboard, metal, wood...) engraves, etches, draws, embosses, distresses and pierces!!! SWEET. And the best thing is, it will cut anything on your PC (that includes fonts, pictures, clip art... from the Internet too) I told you last time that we were all spoiled this year! Anywho, the word book from above, that I regretfully did not get a photo of, was made by the pazzles, and I have made cards and have been inspired to make more cards because of websites like http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/. I have already completed the challenge that is listed!!! I made a baby shower invitation for the three sister-in-laws having babies. ( Kim H., Tori F, and Katie F. all due with days of each other!) Fun, fun, fun.
Leah, and her LONG tongue
Found Leah and Aaron in her crib together. The sweet thing was, Aaron put his lightening McQueen car on her belly, and he took her puppy!!! They both were mesmerized by her mobile.

Cute pictures of the kids! Have fun with all your craft stuff!
Your card looked so stinking professional, sister! Nice job. I think that this year for the Batchelor finale that we should all congregate at my house and have a party. Agreed? Good. See you in May. :)
Melissa, I have checked out the
2S4Y web site and am addicted! I am a novice card maker and so anything that gives me some fun ideas is welcome. I say your card...at least I think it was your card it said "Melissa 1st timer" - that's you right? Cute card by the way :) Do you have a separate "craft blog"? Does that seem to work for you? or is it more time to keep up? I am considerind doing that just so I don't monopolize our family blog with my stuff.
By the way, your kids are stinkin' cute and I can see they are a good blend of you and your hubby :)
Keep in touch ~ Sarah
YOu kids are getting so big. WOW! They grow up too fast. I am glad you had a great Christmas!!! Take care!
Hey Melissa! How are you and Tyson. Your kids are so cute. I am well... I found your blog through Sarah. I really need to reply to missy's comment on my blog. Can you believe it has been so long since the four of us in that apartment. My sister's friends decorated their car at her wedding and it reminded me of our little fueds with cookies on the doors and flour and such.
