My Excuse...

...Hopefully this will explain and completely justify the abandoning of my blog for so long. This is Colton.

It's A Piece of Cake

Wow, it's been a long while! I guess that's what happens when you're pregnant and chasing a 2-year-old!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'll be teaching at the Scrapbook Expo again!

"It's A Piece of Cake"
Friday, March 20th from 4:30 to 6:00 pm
and
Saturday, March 21st from 2:30 to 4:00 pm

"Have a stack of birthday pictures just waiting to be scrapped? Come join the party and create 6 fast and festive birthday pages featuring Scenic Route's Surprise line. You'll be surprised at how fast these pages will come together. We'll learn fun new techniques as we play with chipboard, stickers, and patterned papers. You'll also make 2 cards and a favor box, plus you'll go home with plenty of other great ideas for party favors, cards, and more! So, let the celebration begin and sign up today!

Please bring the following supplies to class with you:

regular scrapbook adhesive, glue dots, scissors, sanding block, scoring tool, and a black journaling pen

Sign-ups started February 18th, so click here to sign-up now before the classes fill!

Hope to see you all there!

I'm working on all the "extra" project ideas that you'll get to see and take home instructions for today, so make sure the check back soon for pics! These extras will include a candy bouquet, cupcake pokes, lollipop flowers, cards, a garland, and more!

**I am having a baby tomorrow, so if they aren't up right away, don't panic, I won't be abandoning the blog anymore!

And, for those that actually check my blog regularly, please excuse the lack of recent activity on my blog. We are in the process of a major remodeling project so we can move at the end of the month...which means I get my very own scrapbook room all to myself....until February when baby #2 moves in...Yep, baby #2 will make it's debut sometime in February 2009, which has given me my fair-share of sick and tired! Also to blame for my lack of recent activity!

Road Trip Game Tin

I'll be teaching this class at both Heartland locations this month.

My Apron is Complete!

So, after spending quite a few hours with my mom, I finally finished my apron for the swap I am participating in. Just wanted to share. I love how it turned out, and will be very sad to part with it. I'm totally in love with the fabric. I got extra so I could save some...now to figure out how to sew something else so I can use my extras! :)

*Finally got the pic working!*

Falling Off the Face of the Earth...

Still experiencing major overload here...scrapbook overload...messy house overload...craft overload...photography overload...you get the picture...

Fortunately the house can now be checked off my list. I spent the entire week organizing, throwing things away, and taking several trips to DI (now all that's left is the scrapbook chaos on the bedroom floor...it is stacked in nice little piles around the perimeter of the room...now if I could just find a place for the organized chaos somewhere else, we'd be great...but I've been dutifully avoiding that mess for a month now!)

The scrapbook overload is slowly but surely being checked off too...after 18 2-pagers and an altered game tin, my A Page 4 All Seasons projects and my Heartland class samples are now compete...now all that is left is the 100 page scrapbook that I want to have finished this weekend...a project I'm also dutifully avoiding!

I've also decided that I need to learn how to sew. I found the cutest little fabric store just down the street, and look out, I have a new obsession...it's called Amy Butler fabric, and of course, it's the stuff that is about $16 a yard...fortunately I don't have a little girl to make all those cute little dresses for, but I did decide to join an apron swap that is due Monday...I've got all the fabric picked out...all that's left is the learning to sew part...I've also found an obsession with re-finishing furniture...it started with Jackson's dresser, and when I realized I'd bought almost triple the paint and supplies, I decided to branch out and finish a picture frame, Jackson's kid-sized table and chairs and am now part way through the kitchen table and chairs...the chairs are all in pieces on my front porch waiting to be sanded, and the table is sitting in my kitchen half painted...chalk that up to a toddler who doesn't want a nap....

...as for the photography, I shot two weddings in two weeks and am now working on editing over 4,000 photos...they turned out so great, and we had such a great time...but that's A LOT of photos! I also got the homepage of our website updated, redesigned our logo and ordered new business cards! Here's a few of my favorite shots from last week!
