Just popping in to tell you about a great new blog called Creative Mini Albums. I was featured yesterday. Thanks Kristeen!!!
Check out this fun game! (sorry I posted it too late for anyone else to play along. :( )
Here's my littles 07.08.09 @ 10:11 am.
We were in the car and had just arrived at DH's grandmother's house for a visit. The boy is just too precious...
and the girl...well...she was being her normal oinery self and trying to hide from the camera!

Hey everyone! I'm just sitting here enjoying some watermelon before I head to bed (yes it IS only 9:30...so what?! heheh!)
The current challenge in the Last Serendipity Scrapper Standing contest is a Monochromatic one. We can only use one color but we can add white and/or black to the LOs.
As I was digging through stuff trying to find papers that didn't have more than one color in them I stumbled upon my pack of scraps from Cosmo Cricket's Get Happy line. I swear...this might be one of my favorite lines EVER EVER EVER!!!! There really are only tiny scraps left in the bag but I just can't bring myself to throw them away...so this challenge gave me a good opportunity to use some of them!
*sigh* It's full of bright, grungy, distressed colors and patterns that just make my heart skip a beat!
Anyway...here are two of the LOs I did using up scraps from it. (these pictures are older ones of my little man...but he was a cutie even then! hehehe!)
I just love the look on his face in this one! You can just tell he's wondering what he can get into. The strips behind the No. 1 are actually packaging from a set of Jenni Bowlin pearl flowers! :) Gotta love using everything.
This one I dry brushed the black and then also added a VERY thin line of black paint around the edge of the whole LO. Zeke was 9 months old in this one. I used corrugated cardboard to stamp my "notepaper."
Ok, well I'm done with my watermelon and I guess I'll be off to bed. Night alL!

I hope you all had a great 4th of July and did a lot of relaxing!!!
We had a very lazy day around here...it was very nice. It ended up raining most of the day so we just stayed home and hung out together (when Tim or I wasn't sleeping! lol he slept most of the morning and I napped a good part of the afternoon...it was wonderful!)
Anyway I just thought I'd pop in and share a few more LOs I've done lately.
I used Scrap-Tastic's July kit, Hello Sunshine for this LO of my DD in her way too cute Baby Legs.
This one I used mainly using left overs from S-T's Velvet Room kit. I spritzed the bg with pink bubblegum Glimmer Mist first and then layered the lace cs over it. This kit was chalk full of amazing new Prima and other beautiful goodies and there are still a few available if you're interested!

or better titled...."Confusing Conversations with a Two Year Old."
Soo...we've been having a hard time keeping the kids in their bunk beds for the last week or so. They started out great and have digressed! About a week ago after they had both been punished and put back in their own beds Kessa asked if I would stay with her for a few minutes. I agreed and we began talking about why she wasn't staying in bed and that she couldn't be good on her own but that Jesus could help her be good. I always try to level the playing field when I'm talking with my children about their sin by reminding them that mommy sins all the time too but that Jesus helps her be good also. This particular night though the comment didn't fall on deaf ears. Kessa pondered this for a moment...that mommy sins too...then she asked, "Do you get spanks too?"
ummm....how would you respond to that one? Not sure if I had the best response in the world but taking a deep breathe I told her, "Well Kessa, mommy SHOULD get spanks for her sins but Jesus took all my spanks for me so I don't get any anymore. However I do still have to suffer the consequences for my sin...and that's kind of like spanks."
Hehe! So...that's one place where I'm still baffled when I think about it. Anyway, we'll just pray God's grace will cover over any big mistakes I made in that conversation! lol
