Here's what we do: When the birthday person wakes up, we like to celebrate by: Having cake, for breakfast... & in bed. How cool is that?? Cake for breakfast is a BIG hit with my little ones!! But to eat in bed? The is just a cherry on top of the cake.

How to share photos...

People are asking me all the time for little tips and tricks of what I do. This one is a little different, but I SO could not live with out this...

I LOVE digital cameras!! It makes it SO easy to share copies of pictures with grandparents and other family and friends! And I'm not talking about the low resolution copies send on email or uploaded to a photo company. I like them to be able to do want the want to the pictures or be able to print where they want to.

How do you do this... so simple. There is a company called 4share. Which is FREE, and able to upload zipped files for others to download FULL resulotion files. If you want to check it out just click the button below.

Later!

Totally WICKED

OK... thinking of doing something a little drastic to my hair. Call me crazy, er I suppose call me 30?!? I have an hair appointment set for Thursday. & I'm thinking of either putting in cherry/pink colored streaks/tipping. OR black, black underneath (with a small bit of highlighting)
OK...on to some family layouts! (Forwarned: some may be graphic)

Busy...Busy...

Yes, I have been I little busy little beaver....creating LOTS of LO's for upcoming new releases of products. (Can't display them until they come out though)

This weekend we are heading up north for the last weekend. (so sad) But, this weekend is a festival at the Winery in Alex. Yes, lots of good times, watching the grape stomp and drinking yummy wine.

Onto some LO's:
(I am SO not a whimsical person by nature. I am usually more simple... but I keep see all of these amazing LO's and I knew my kids would think that is SO COOL to be in a fairy tale like setting.

Getting on with life...

Things are starting to become a little bit more of a routine. Sophie has decided that she doesn't like weekends... she would like to be in first-grade EVERY day. I'm sure it will be a few weeks before she changes her mind. Grandpa Red is here to help daddy fix the car today... so you can guess where Gabe is!!

MY PRE-SCHOOLER!!

Started today!

I LOVE challenges...

There are so many challenges at ScrapMatters that I do... and I love them!! Becuase, it makes you think about things that you normally wouldn't normally think is important. I did this layout for a "What's in a Name contest", I think my kids will think its pretty cool years from now. Anyway...food for thought.
