No Longer....

It's official....I am no longer a Mini-Van Mom. I loved having a mini-van for the past six years, it was beyond convenient with the power doors and the kids able to hop up in themselves. I also loved the space and being able to separte the kids so that no one was touching another....you know how that goes with kids in the car! Well, lately, the van didn't quite feel right. The brakes were squealing, the back lift gate would spontaneously start closing on me as I loaded groceries, it just felt like something was wrong...it wasn't good. So, I decided enough is enough and traded it in yesterday for this....



Fun to have a new car!

How cool is this?!?!

I downloaded this free program today called Shape Collage. In less than 2 minutes, I was able to create this...

I can't wait to pick out some of my favorite pixs of the kids and try this out! I may run over to Michael's tomorrow and grab some frames. These will collages will make for great home decor!!

Go download the program....so much fun to play around with!!

Happy Belated Mother's Day!

I hope all of the mothers out there were able to enjoy a relaxing and peaceful day with your families. My children very sweetly brought me breakfast in bed, made me a ton of cards, and reminded me throughout the day how special I am to them (at least the youngest did). It was a wonderful day indeed -- oh, and DH gave me a beautiful bracelet which I had hinted, rather told, DS about so as to ensure its arrival.

I didn't get off chore free for the holiday but I did sneak in some scrap time (of course)! I am still loving the new Crate lines. They are perfect for those sweet girl pictures. This layout is a mix of Emma's Shoppe and the Portrait Collection -- don't they work together fabulously?
