My Big Helper

One of the most common questions I have people as me is 'Does Elliott help with the baby?' And yes, she does! She can be a BIG help... this photo above is of Elliott holding Dane (wide awake) while I did the dishes... she'll come through at the most convenient times!! I am finding she wants to do anything to help - even if it doesn't involve the baby!

American Idol Fun!!

The Wii has proved to be such a fun, family game system! I for one have never been much into video games. However, with the Wii, you can do so many interactive games. As a family we love the Wii sports, Rockband, Wii Fit, and now American Idol! I, by far, will never be the next American Idol, but in the comforts of home, it is sure fun to sing songs out loud! And as you can see, my husband sure enjoys singing, too... he doesn't know I'm posting these for all to see!!! The kids enjoy pretending to play along with us as well. We even let Elliott sing, and surprisingly, she doesn't get booed (if thats how you spell it) off the stage! She keeps the melody pretty good and even adds words after she's heard them from the singer on the tv.

New! New! New!

Wow, I have so many exciting scrap-happenings... I just received some new travel papers from SEI, next week I get Cosmo Cricket and Fancy Pants (both May and June monthly kit clubs).... Also, I've been busy creating layouts this past week, it's been fun! I've enjoyed the recent layouts using newer product! I have a slide show below showcasing some of the new items you'll find at www.projectscrapbook.net . Also, it is not too late to sign up for May's Monthly kit club using brand new Fancy Pants pattern papers.

I think it's a real smile....

I think it's finally a first, real smile! Today, I walked over to Dane in his swing, and this was the face I got! For the last week or so he's had tiny glimpses of smile, but this one seemed real! Oh man he is already growing too fast for me... I would, however, like him to grow out of his evening crying spells! Just wanted to share this exciting event!

First MAY Special!

Okay, if you read my recent newsletter, you will know that each Monday in May, I will post a layout for only $5.00! Yes, you can get all the supplies and instructions to complete the layout shown! Simply go to www.projectscrapbook.net and click on the online store! You will find the layout in the What's New category! You can pick your kit up at a monthly crop, the next crop will be in June at the Residence Inn in Carmel!

Happy Scrapping!

Croppin Fun!!!!

National Scrapbook Day is such a great way to celebrate the super fun hobby we all have and share! I am so thrilled to have shared this fantastic day with 28 fun, creative ladies!!! This was the largest group I've had so far (we spread out into two meeting rooms, yeah), and everyone was a delight to hang with for the weekend! The crop began Friday at 5 (some came earlier) and ended Saturday at 10pm. Several ladies attended both days, and some only one! I had the fabulous opportunity to meet several new people! Thank you to those scrappers who invited their friends! The social end of the hobby is one of the things I enjoy most! I love meeting knew people! I can't say I accomplished too much, but several ladies seemed happy with their accomplishments!!! I just had a great time providing food, make n takes, inspiration, and conversation! And surprisingly, baby Dane did pretty good with his first weekend of scrapbooking (he did crop with me last week, but that was only one day!). A special thanks to the ladies who wanted to hold him or stick his pacifier back in his mouth! Side note... care to hold a baby, come to the next crop, and Dane will be ready for you!
