Her morning snack...

I was just on the phone and when I got off I found Mia in the kitchen like this:

She was in the kitchen eating Ovaltine by the spoonfuls!!! As you can see on her face she ate quite a bit of it. Glad I had my camera handy :)

I guess I had better go to the store and get this kid some milk to go with her "cocoa"!

Our trip to Lubbock....

I took so many pictures that I figured this would be the easiest way to show them......

We had so much fun:

1. seeing old friends

2. eating, eating and more eating

3. feeding the ducks at the park

4. JUST HANGING OUT!

Another one....

Here is another page that I just finished. I have found a new way to procrastinate AND get something done at the same time. :)

paper and info tag from www.designerdigitals.com

the notebook paper I scanned in myself.....I'm really getting into this!

My first digital scrapbook page....

My friend Samantha has inspired me to give digital scrapping a try. Here is my first shot at it using the photos I shared a couple days ago.
I have to say...I think I may be hooked. I really love traditional scrapping, because I like the messiness of it. The paint and the paper and the rub-ons........I REALLY love the rub-ons!! Although, this method was SO easy and didn't take very long and I didn't even have anything to clean up afterward. I may actually be able to catch up on our family story this way. I am considering making a coffee table book of digi-pages from Mia's second year. I will still do some regular scrapping with some of my favorite pictures, but I would really like to get some of the pictures and stories from the past year in print!


So here it it........What do you think?


By the way......I downloaded the paper for free at www.twopeasinabucket.com and I got the brush surrounding "snow day" at www.designerdigitals.com
I created the snowflake brush myself from a clipart snowflake. The fonts are Butterbrotpapier and Times New Roman. The journaling is from my blog entry accompaning these pictures.

Tomorrow....

Mia and I are off on an adventure. Just the two of us. We are going to Lubbock to LCU's 50th anniversary homecoming weekend. We are going to hang out with the girls (Rachel, my college roommate, and her daughter Kelsey) and see some old friends. I haven't seen some of these friends in years! I can't wait to introduce Mia to them. I will have my camera in hand of course so will be sharing once I return.

In the meantime, think of me tomorrow around 1:00 as I fly with a 2 year old alone for the first time. It is only an hour flight, and she will be in her carseat, but still I'm a little nervous.

Well, I'm off to pack clothes and the bag for the plane with lots of goodies to keep us busy!

By the way...I have updated my website with new pictures and a new shopping cart for my photo jewelry. It is not completely finished (still a few items to add) but still functional!
