I would love to win this! Ali rocks!
give.away.day. featuring ALI EDWARDS
Today just two words would suffice, Ali. Edwards. But today we are not stopping there, for it is Thursday. So the equation gets even better: Ali + Edwards + giveaway = sheer perfection! I'm not sure if you have met Ali or have taken a class from Ali, so in case you haven't, let me describe he...

I just picked up The Doctor's Wife. It was good at the beginning but it has fizzled out for me. Probably because I just don't have too much time to sit and read with the kids. I am really looking forward to when they are in school and I can get back into reading. I have a list a mile long I want to get to! When are you going to Maui? It is sooooo beautiful there, hope you have a great time!

Pickled Pear Lane has everything fabric goodness. one of my favorite things about using fabrics (ok buying fabrics) is putting together the patterns and color palettes and seeing how well they work together. Marianne Johnson does an amazing job of this and assembles theses bright colorful coll...

great job Paula! I always have to remind myself of that: even though I may gain weight I could be losing inches.
Weight Watcher Weigh In
Started the day with an early morning work out with the trainer then went to my Weight Watcher weigh in. It is another gain week: +2.6 pounds. I am not as disappointed about this weight gain because I have doubled my exercise over the past couple of weeks and last Friday I found out that while I...

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...

I wish I could have a "dump" like that! LOL...you silly girl! I did have a scraproom before Alex came along, but I thought I would be a good mom and let him have his own room when he was about 9 months old...someday we will move or add onto this poor excuse for a house and I will have my own area (instead of the kitchen table) and I will scrap many many pages, instead of the one or 2 a months I get done now....
As Requested, a Scrap Room Tour (very photo heavy)
Okay. Let me start off by explaining something. I've talked about this before but I MUST reiterate so that you don't think I have vile taste. An older lady lived here before we purchased this house. She had a fond affinity for these things in no particular order: wood paneling, industrial carpet...
I have that kit also and haven't done it yet. What a sweet gesture to sneak it into your beloved's suitcase! What a lovely surprise!
You are Loved album
This mini album was a project that Ali Edwards designed using one of the Cocoa Daisy kits from January 2007. I hung onto to this kit FOREVER - knowing that 'some' day I would complete it. My scrapbooking weekend was the perfect time and deadline! This little album can be created using ANY produc...

Hi Paula
To tell you the truth it is a bit overwhelming, but I have certainly let myself go since having my second child. Have you ever seen that Suave hair commercial? Here is a link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OuE5Miymwo
this is me and I never do get to the end of the commercial without tearing up, LOL. And seriously I can’t believe that woman is going to have another child! LOL!
I keep asking m husband when Clinton and Stacy are going to show up and give me some help!
I will tell you that the no candy is going well. I have not had a reese’s since last Wednesday and I used to eat them everyday. That is a plus!
