vinyl

I've had a Silhouette craft cutting maching for about 3 years now. I am just now getting myself out of a crafting slump that I've coincidently been in for about the past 3 years now. This cutting machine has been my new best friend and it feels like Christmas all over again when I learn something new I can do with it.

My latest facination has been with vinyl. I've done a couple of small vinyl projects like Chirstmas ornaments, some cute jars for my friends and I helped one friend finish up her Family Home Evening board. Tonight I did my first on-the-wall vinyl project. Here it is....

What do you think?


It's one of my favorite scriptures Matt. 6:21.

My girls are such a treasure to me and my heart is so often overflowing with love for them. I get impatient and frustrated with them alot but I'm really working on showing my love for them more and being kinder to them. Maybe this reminder will help :)

Pregnant pictures

I feel like I've been quite a slacker in the blogging world lately. I think my creativity has been zapped out of my brain because I just can't think of anything to blog about lately. So, here is my fall back post. The much anticipated and much awaited for (drum roll please) dadaddaddda ......pregnancy photos!! Yay! I know you are all super excited and can't wait to scroll down to see the fabulous pictures and be done reading my mindless ramblings.


Let me explain first....NO this is NOT an announcement! Far from it. This is for my friends ...Rochelle, Mindy, Tamara etc. and who ever else I've only known in the past 3 years who have never seen yours truely prego. I know you all WANT to see me prego in real life and I know Ande prays for it nightly but it is really just not going to happen and you're all just going to have to be happy with feasting your eyes upon the following pictures.

This 1st picture is of me shortly before I had Ainsley so April 2001.

The 2nd picture is a few days before I had Mackenzie Feb. 2003. And the last picture was right before I had Summer in March of 2006. You can see I got bigger each time. So I hope you enjoyed looking at my big belly.

Those of you who wanted to see this better leave me some real nice comments!
