Free Friday
... So I am getting more and more excited as time draws near for us to get the hell up out of New Mexico .. we have been here for 2 years and now it is time for us to say HOLLLLA. I am so happy to get back overseas .. anyway .. wondering what the hell ya getting for free .. just some shenanig...
Girl I have to agree with you. I am tired of hearing about the whole Tiger thing as well. It seems when there is a person of his stature in trouble we have to smear their life all over the media. Honestly, what Tiger has going on in his life has no affect on my life so why should I care? We just have become a society that loves seeing people drug through the mud.
And you are absolutely correct! Every child should have coverage when they go missing. It shouldn't be whether or not the family has money or are a high class family or whatever.
High 5 girl! You hit this whole thing spot on!
..forgotten victims
are what it is and what has always been .. are what athletes, moguls, business men, real estate tycoons and hell ordinary men have them too .. they even exist in the military .. HA. are what the media prefers to focus on along with the athlete .. like the Cheetah .. oh I mean TIGER .. ugh .. ...
That rocks so much Sasha!!! I know you will be an awesome addition to the Pencil Lines DT! I am a Class of 95er as well! Cannot wait to see more of your work on the blog!
Pencil Lines Xcitement
Remember last year when I pretty much did not know what to do with a sketch to save my life? Until I realized that it is just an interpertation of how things CAN BE .. and realized that I use the sketch as a map and a blue print only .. and it does not have to be exact .. well basically .. I ha...
Steph....this layout is awesome. I must admit that I do not pour my heart into this hobby and I think I need to start. Need to get my true feelings on my layouts. Thanks for the boost of inspiration. HUGS!
don't you just love this hobby?
one that you can pour your heart and soul into when you just can't seem to get the words to come out right? it's a way to document what is in your heart. a way to keep those feelings fresh forever. have a beautiful day. xo patterned paper- basic grey (june bug- kaleidoscope) letter sticker...

open (love) letter to jenni bowlin
i have to start by saying that this was HUGE to me. i don't like to evereverever sound like I'm bragging about opportunities that i am blessed to have. i really hope that's not what this sounds like, i'm just so excited. but if you know me, you know i LOVE jenni bowlin. she was the main reason i...
What sweet photos hun. I love the outfits you picked out. Fabulous!
Congrats to J again. What a great accomplishment.
Will keep praying for y'all until he is back home safe. And have to agree with Laura. Jer 29:11 is a verse that is so comforting.
HUGS babes!
I'll admit it
I'm pretty down today. This morning I was pretty sick, don't know if it was a bug, or something I ate, or just dread at the thought of him leaving again. But my dad had to drive him to the airport b/c I felt so bad. Most of it's gone now, except for a headache, but I miss him so much. You'd thi...
Hapy Mother's Day Steph. What a beautiful post! Loved it. I cannot wait to see photos of your trip to DC.
HUGS!
mothering.
three years ago on mother's day, i was just learning what it meant to be a mama. i had fallen in love with a little girl with jet black tufts of hair and big brown eyes, just like her daddy's. i had forgotten already what it was like to sleep, and what life was like before she came along...
She's such a beautiful girl. Hope everyone had a wonderful day. Happy Birthday Harper!
And so glad that she could spend her birthday with her daddy. That I bet was probably the best present she could ever get!!!
she's three!!
today she is three. she made me a mama. she makes me crazy. she makes me laugh until i cry. she makes me proud. she makes me quite certain that her future will be extraordinary. she makes my heart ache. she makes me pull out my hair. she makes me wonder how i ever survived before she was aro...
OH WOW STEPH!!! I am seriously sitting here bawling my eyes out. That is one of the best homecoming videos EVER!!! And I have seen lots of them.
Thank you for sharing that with all of us! Enjoy your guy while he is home! Have a fabulous time in DC.

NSD Challenge at Studio Calico
I have been told that I will soon be giving this pretty away: this is the sold-out Gingham add-on from the Garment District kit. Here is the scoop. Each design team member at Studio Calico is holding a NSD challenge. You have one week to complete my challenge and if you do, you will be ente...
Such pretty stuff in here Steph. I love that black dress. I know you would look gorgeous in it!
wish list
in no particular order. 1. this handbag from {A03} Designs. i mean seriously, i've looked at it over and over and over. the yellow and the vintage touches are almost too much for my eyes to handle. 2. this tray from john derian. i've been looking at this one for over a year and i think i...
Congrats to you and J for such a huge accomplishment. I am sure they will have some sort of photographer there. I bet you will be able to get photos. But still stinks that you cannot bring one in. Grr!
I love that cute desk too. And I have surely had one of them moments with my kids as well. Some of the way they say things...we know what they are saying, but to other people, oh boy. LOL.
big, huge sigh of relief
big huge sigh of relief for the fact that: a. i feel so much better today and b. i got an email from J. today. i can finally let out the breath i've been holding for the better part of this week. big awkward grin of embarrassment because: a. harper kept loudly saying "where's your NUTS??" in ...
That is just too cute. I grew up listening to ABBA. I used to sing that song all the time when I was Harper's age. My parents used to just crack up laughing. She is cute cute cute!!!

Okay so I am glad you are excited that my tax payer money will be paying for your new tits. LMAO. Glad you are getting them tho. Are you getting implants? Can I feel em? :O LOL. So how the hell do I get my tummy tuck? Do I just go to my doctor too?

First off my deepest condolensces go out to the family of Private Dewater. Such a sad story. I will continue to pray for J's unit and hope that all of them come home safe. Thank you for all they do to defend freedom. My prayers go out to you and the girls as well. I know it is hard when they are away. HUGS sweetie.
Harper looks lovely in that dress and those cute boots. So glad y'all had a good time.
back home and recovering.
seriously. my 2 year old is a bigger party girl than I am. you should have seen her, she was a rock star. friday night we had the rehearsal dinner and then after the dinner, there was a kick off party. i was planning on taking the shuttle back to the hotel, but harper walked off with some of jim...

Love that layout. Sadie is super cute.
Sorry you were having a bad start to your day. Glad you got some scrapping time in though.
HUGS!
A Crafty Post!
I've missed spending time being creative. It makes me feel so much happier when I can take a bit of time in the morning to be creative. During nap time, I made this layout with Lily Bee products: patterned papers, die cuts- lily bee design punches (flower and leaves)- martha stewart pe...
Oh ok, sorry to hear about that. I hope it isn't too serious. Let me know if you are driving through VA. Maybe we could have lunch!
Ok, so there's going to be a ton of photos in this one...
For once, I actually took photos of my kids...I know, weird, huh? AND, for once, I actually PS'ed some of them...again, I realize just how weird this is. If you even knew that I haven't touched about 99% of my own photos...yes...I know...I should be shot. ;) BUT, since I did get a chance to play...
I do a cross country trip every summer. I take the kiddos out to CA to my parents house and they stay there for the summer. It is pretty cool. There are specific places where I stop along the way. I drive during the day only and I try not to drive too far into the night. I make sure to have plenty of snacks. This time my mom will be flying out to Chicago and I will pick her up there. My trip is going to be a long one this time. I have to drive out to Little Rock for a martial arts tournament. Then I have to drive up to Kalamazoo, MI to meet hubby and the kids at hubby's parent's house. Drive to Chicago to pick up my mom at the airport and then my mom, the kids and I are driving to CA. And when I drop them off, then I will get to drive back. LOL. I wonder if it would be worth it to leave my car there, fly back and then when they are ready to come home, I can fly back out and then drive back. LOL.
Okay so I tried to look...are you PCSing? and if so where y'all going to go?
Forgot to say that I love your photos! And not PSing is okay. Some people do it and some don't. ;)
