oh happy day

Well, I'm back from Corinne's beautiful wedding. It was just so beautiful to be a part of her big day. *sigh* It makes me want to get married all over again - well, have a wedding day. *lol*

Then it was off to Reno for 3 days with my parents, Carl and Jonah. Carl had a class to take. And now we're home and I'm glad... and relieved... and oh-so tired.

Corinne and her hubby had an awesome photobooth at their wedding - super cool, btw... Aren't the pictures cute? Totally scrapbook worthy. Can't wait to get the creative juices flowing...

But it'll have to wait a while - We're headed to Disneyland next week! :)

a bunch of cards and cupcakes too.

I may not be scrapping lately, but I have been making cards - it seems like the card creating is neverending though - from 2 good luck cards for co-workers who are moving on to bigger and brighter things... to 8 thank you cards for our clerks in honor Secretary's Day next week... to a few birthday cards... I didn't take pictures of them all, but I got A LOT done. Trust me. It was insane.

2 good luck cards
4 birthday cards
8 thank you cards
1 bachelorette party card
2 bridal shower cards
1 wedding card
_________
= 18 cards in 2 months

HOLY COW!

Here are a few I did get to take pictures of...







And in the midst of making all these cards, I somehow found time to bake some cupcakes last week (and since then, I might add, I've been ITCHING to bake more!). I have to restrain myself though - only 2 more days until Corinne's wedding and I have to fit in my bridesmaid's dress.



But don't these look good? Check out the recipe at my other blog...

feelin' a little crafty...

I have a confession. I've been in a scrapping rut lately. I thought this loss of mojo would be temporary, but it wasn't.

I'm on vacation starting today so I'm hoping to get something done in the next week or so. My scrapbook room is in serious need of some TLC.

Got 2 layouts done though! Yippee!!!


supplies: patterned paper: Basic Grey, Tinkering Ink, Sassafrass Lass; letter stickers, pen - American Crafts; felt flower: prima; journaling card: College Press; stamping ink: ColorBox; other: ribbon

And in honor of my BFF Corinne who is getting married next Saturday!


supplies: cardstock: Bazzill; patterned paper; Love Elsie; ghost heart, bling: Heidi Swapp; label sticker; Fontwerks; rubons, chiboard letters, pen: American Crafts; stamping ink: StazOn

So, yup I did it... 2 layouts done...

Next on the checklist - ORGANIZATION. Ugh.

toot TOOT! it's been a while.

I'm having difficulty keeping up with my scrapbooking blog. I just checked and I haven't posted since February 15! That's almost a month ago! I've probably lost of few buddies and readers - for that, I'm really sorry.

I will try to keep up from now on. And I will try and post at least twice a week. Even if I'm not scrapping, I'll pop in and say hello.

Just got back from my BFF's bachelorette party in VEGAS so I'm a little tired, sick, and just out of it. Had a GREAT time. More fun than I thought I would. Lots of partying and just hanging out with the girls. And I'm glad Corinne had a good time too! :)

While there, I checked my email and found out Scrapbook Trends wants to publish one of my mini books and a digi layout for their upcoming Vacation idea book! So exciting! First 1 layout in their wedding idea book last year and now a layout and a mini album. I'm THRILLED! :) toot TOOT for me!

So hopefully these toots will get me to scrap more and motivate me to get published more too. :) Mojo, come out come out wherever you are! :)

Jonah's 1st Year...

I made this slideshow to show off at Jonah's birthday party...

Since Corinne reminded me, I thought I'd share it with you all... Enjoy!

guess who's 1...

I am now officially the mother of an active, witty, 1 year old.

We celebrated his birthday with our family and friends this past Sunday the 10th. Over 100 people - I'm still recovering.

Just wanted to pop in and share one of our favorite pics of him on his special day... A pic taken by his Ninang Corinne. :)

Yeah, and do you SEE that red icing? The bakery must have used an awful amount (and possibly toxic amount - j/k!) of red food dye. Poor Jonah and I were pink for DAYS afterward.

Anyway, wanted to let you all that I'm alive. Haven't scrapped in a while because I was busy planning the party and I'm still recovering. Once I catch my breath I'll post layouts soon. :)

LMAO

This is just an example of how we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. :)
