Some new pictures

Sorry...the last few weeks have been really hectic! Here are some new pictures of the kids.
Here are some from Jack's birthday party last weekend. Joshua thought he was entitled to help open the presents and blow out the candles since he always helps us with those things. Oops! Fortunately, I don't think it bothered Jack. Ha ha.



Here's abby in her new princess chair Grandma D bought. She loves it!!


And here's a picture of Abby eating using this little thing I dip into the food for her. She really, really digs this little gadget.

March Challenges and a couple of layouts

The new challenges are all up on the Feeling Scrappy message board. Lots of fun challenges this month-and for each one you complete and post, you get a ticket into the drawing for a great prize at the end of the month. I hope you'll go check them out and join in the scrapping fun. :) Have a great weekend!!

A couple of quick pages I got done during naptime today. Nothing fancy...but they are done. :)

That LOOK!!! and a couple of other photos.

I don't know where Joshua learned to give me these looks. They sort of crack me up but I try really hard not to laugh (even though everyone else who sees him does.) Here's Joshua and Abby about two days ago. have I mentioned joshua is completely obsessed with Thomas and his Friends? OBSESSED.

Is this kind of like when the paparazzi has outstayed her welcome?

A few pictures

Sorry, we have been super busy lately and I just haven't had a chance to get many pictures posted. Here are a few from the last few weeks. My dad's birthday, my mom's birthday and a visit with grandma L.

Another paint class layout

Thought I'd share another layout from the paint class last month at Feeling Scrappy. We used paint as "glue" around the edge of the transparency...worked like a charm. No more hiding adhesive with this idea. Hope you like my layout!

Sketch class!!

The sketch class (Sketchapalooza) starts in just two weeks at Feeling Scrappy. You can find the details here- http://www.feelingscrappy.com/class_details.html
I loved the first sketch class when I took it last year and this one is going to be even better! Tons of original sketches-you are sure to get a ton done in this class. I hope you'll check it out and join us. :)

Fabulous photos!

I wasn't thrilled with the pictures we got a couple of weeks ago of Abby so I went to another photographer and she's posted a few sneak peeks on her blog-

I love these!!!

Layout and a sketch

Finished a layout this morning...Looks painful doesn't it??? He's ok, though, so don't worry. ;)


And a new sketch for you. I used this for the layout above (even though I made a lot of adjustments). :)

A question for you...

I think most of you know I have two blogs (if you didn't know, well, I have two blogs. :) ) One for family related stuff and one for crafty and scrapbooking stuff (www.stacey-scraps.blogspot.com). I didn't start the scrappy one til much later and figured not everyone would want to see it. What do you think? Should I combine them? I know there are a lot of family members who read this and never comment (do I need to name you and call you out? LOL He he he...) but I would love to get your input as to whether you think I should keep the blogs separate or combine them. Feel free to check out the crafty blog to see what kind of stuff I post there before you comment. Don't feel bad for having an opinion either way. Hope you are all doing well and I hope you all leave me a comment. :)

Kitchen Keepsakes

Here's a page I did for my Kitchen Keepsakes book-it's all about food, traditions and recipes in our family. Such a fun book to work on. This was a breakfast challenge on Feeling Scrappy.
Now I've got to get back to working on samples for Sketchapalooza in March-hope you'll be joining us in this class!
