New photos of the Kids

These are photos I took today of my growing kids.  Sometimes I wish they were still babies but i love to see them grow and see the new things they accomplish.  This week Dante got his hearing aids and he loves them thank God.  He is finally hearing some of the things hes been missing for so long.  Still of course more pictures to come but this is just the beginning.  

First you will see the boys...

My Gabriel who is now 4 years old waving at me to say Hey Mommy.  Sooooooo Cute I think.

 Man this kid has grown over the years and man have we been through a lot over the years.  He has taught me so much over the years that were soooo hard on him.  My trooper Dante.

I'm not sure why I like this photo so much but just the way my boys can show how much they love each other in between all the bickering and fighting.

Brotherly Love

 My little girl is now 7 years old and all I hear is that she looks so much like me, and I love hearing that.  She is my princess.

Julia my mini me.

 My two oldest having a great time together.

She loves her brother.

Well the photos aren't done but they will continue tomorrow.

Julia and Gabriel's Birthday Invitations

Once again we have come to the time of the year where we get to celebrate two of my greatest achievements in my life... My babies that were born on the same day but different years.  Julia and Gabriel will be 7 and 4 this year, wow the time has gone by.  And of course like I do every year I make their invites because that's what i enjoy doing.

Happy Birthday to my two youngest children...

Birthday pics to come

Ashley and Buddy

Here are the photographs that I took of my friend Ashley and her boyfriend Buddy.  They wanted to take photos in my yard so you may see cows in the background.  I have more photos to take this monday and hopefully people will keep calling.  I will also be posting some pregnancy photographs that I took of Sherry and her Fiance Justin and they turned out great.

Happy Mothers Day

This is just the beginning to my Mothers Day Cards so stay tuned. They are very simple but i think they are very pretty.  Hope you like them all.

Sherry's Baby Shower Invitations

Arent they cute

Dante's nurse is having a baby boy and asked me to do her baby shower invites and I was of course happy to do them. I had so much fun making them and i think they turned out great. All I have heard are compliments on how good they turned out.

Latest update on life is of course working on the divorce and working from home on my crafts again. It seems like my life changes all the time.

Changes in my life

I have been working alllllll the time at my sales job at Aarons that I have had to take a break from what I love the most my crafts.  But you do what you have to do to make ends meet.  When I get back to crafts I will post ASAP.

Fun in the sun

The kids have been enjoying the sun as much as they can from home before the school year is over. My kids don't get out of school until next week but they have enjoyed the little pool and gardening with me.

Happy Birthday Julia and Gabriel

OOOOHHHHH Mommy what is this

My cute favor bags that I made and I have to say they turned out very cute... thank goodness I have a Cricut.

The cakes and cupcakes that I made for my babies.

Here is the birthday sign I made with my cricut.... can you tell what their theme was??

Thats my girl

I have to say even after all the sleepless nights i had trying to get everything ready for this party it was worth it. The kids had a blast playing on firetrucks and my boyfriend Jason was so helpful. I wouldn't have been able to get through the party without him and my friends that came. Thank goodness for friends and family

I love my new stampin up toys

Ok here are some cards I made tonight with some new sizzix dies and embossing folders from stampin up and the local craft store... Love them and I LOVE these cards. So here goes

So here i used the flower burst stampin up sizzlet I think that's what its called but anyway I love it.

Ok I used my scallop square and I know its not new but it's new to me and I used the scallop rectangle which is also new to me.... Love them too.

And here I used a embossing border folder which I have been staring at for the last few days trying to figure out how I wanted to use it. I used another sizzix die but I dont remember what its called but I love it too. I also picked up a scallop oval die at the local craft store and well you know what I'm going to say again I Love it too.

As you can tell Julia likes hello kitty and my buddah Gabe loves Toy Story so I tried to mix their two likes together. Well there is more to come this week because there are favor boxes and decorating left. I love my babies:-)

Allright enough typing and back to work i have less than a week to get a whole party together and decorated. It's always the little things that seem like they will never get done. Back to work

A work in progress

Oh my goodness seems to be my new phrase... It feels like I've been working on these invitations for weeks but I only started them yesterday. One good thing is they seem to be coming along and yes I took pictures of my progress. I will post more and the finished product tomorrow and probably the next day. Like I said a work in progress.

Oh my goodness I'm hot

Oh my goodness I'm hot today it's 83 degrees and to me it feels like 90 degrees out. Now it's beautiful outside but its hot and it's going to take me sometime to get used to the hot weather...
Anyway before I start working on these invitations for my kids birthday party I wanted to post some pics of another mothers day card I made and if I get a invite done tonight I will give you a sneak preview before I mail them out so stay tuned.

More Mothers Day Cards

I hope that every mother receives a mothers day card that warms them inside like this card does to me. Of course there are more to come that will give me the same feeling, but in the end I love them hope you do too. Well its been such a long day I think i'm going to call it a night.
