Learning to Ride

I created this layout to showcase our little girl learning to ride her bike this past winter.  I've been holding on to these pictures for whatever reason and when I got the new playdate kit here at noel mignon I couldn't wait to start playing!  I used october afternoon papers, crocheted flowers, jenni bowlin bingo card and some american crafts bling! Too cute! Love this kit which by the way is all sold out! :)

Day 2: Week in the life 2010

Today was day 2 in the week in the life 2010...I did pretty good with pictures today. Well I'm impressed with myself. I'm super excited about this challenge and anxious to see how it all turns out! Today we mainly stayed around the house and I had a jewelry party tonight and I took some pics getting ready and packing my stuff....its amazing what a little makeup and jewelry will do for a person! hahaha! I also managed to get some creative time crammed in today! And I read Ms. Ali Edwards post at aliedwards.com from her monday and she used her timer on her camera...so it inspired me to get my how to book out for my camera and learn to use my timer...maybe tomorrow I will remember to play with that. Here are some pictures from my day! Hope you enjoy!

New Year 2010!

I have not blogged in about 6 months...so terrible at this....but our life has been in chaos since then actually. I will try to get a new picture up here later either today or in the next couple of days.

I don't make new year's resolutions but I have set a small goal. I don't know about you all but I find myself taking for granted the simple and small things and life and I get complacent. So I have decided to keep a notebook and every single day for this year to write in there something I am thankful for. Simply just to make me more aware of all the blessings I have in my life. I am human and I get all wrapped up in my own selfishness and desires and when things go wrong I tend to dwell on those and I'd like to not do that so much! I probably won't get on here every single day but when I do I'll give the list of what I've missed posting from the previous post....especially since we'll be having a new baby at the end of this month and I'll have two small children....internet use will be limited I'm sure! :)

Today is day one: 010110-I am thankful for my family: husband, daughter and soon to be born son! :)
