I'm very blessed :) I had a great 9 months of being pregnant (great as far as pregnancy goes, lol). Had a short 3 1/2 hour labor and delivery from start to finish. And now I have this beautiful little baby Kate :)



This morning she had her first sponge bath (at home at least) that she really hated, but even her little cry is too cute. She sleeps most of the time, but when she is awake she gets an overload of attention. From Abby singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, to Grace giving her a good dose of baby talk. Even her Dad is quite taken with her (more than I can remember with the first two kiddos).

More wonderful things this week include lots of great digi stuff! I got to help put together this awesome collab called New Life at {We Are} Storytellers. Here are some brag book quickpages that I put together and will be making Kate a book here soon:



and a layout using the kit:




Kate Hadfield and I also made some fun baby and Easter things:



And I also made these Funk Felt Buttons that are at TLP!



Thanks so much for all of your good wishes! They definitely worked and I really appreciate it. More baby pics coming soon (I'm sure you'll get sick of them).

xoxo until next time!

So first off, I see a baby in the near future :) I went to my doctors appointment on Tuesday and my doctor was trying talk me into getting induced. I didn't think that I'd want to, but the more I think about it, it would be nice to have it all nicely planned, not in the middle of the night, and to know that the kids are taken care of. I have an appointment on Tuesday again and I'll probably be induced on Thursday if little Kate doesn't decide to show her face before then :) My Mom's coming on Wednesday so Thursday would work out perfectly!

I've also been busy doing some designing! I am lucky enough to be hanging out with the ladies at The-Lilypad this month and our BYOC stuff came out today!!! I also need to get working on some more fun things that will be hitting The-Lilypad next week. Think "Kate Collab." Here's what you'll see if you click into my shop:







Emily and I also have our First Felt Friday item up at {We Are} Storytellers today and I have to say that this is for sure my favorite so far :)



Last night Grace and Abby had their very first dance recital and they were so excited. They didn't even think about being nervous at all which I loved. There's nothing cuter than watching a bunch of adorable three-year-olds up on stage trying to dance together. It was so much fun. Grace did great and had so much fun up there dancing with her friends. I never thought that I'd be a "dance mom," but it was really fun to watch. I got some fun pics that will soon be scrapped with this lovely kit. Here are my cute girls:



Okay I guess I better do some house work today. Send me some good Flylady vibes please!!!!!

xoxo until next time

Sorry for my slackerdome as of late :) Today I am officially 2 weeks from my due date!!!! I really can't believe how fast time as flown by. It's crazy. I still have a week full of stuff before I can get too anxious though. I'm teaching preschool this week to six little three-year-olds, Grace will be out of school for parent teacher conference, both Grace and Abby have their first dance recital, and I have lots of digi designing to do! So cross your fingers this baby waits at least seven more days, lol. I'm not too worried about that though.



Can you believe that along with designing I've been scrapping?!?!? I've had zero mojo lately, but the amazing designers at {We Are} Storytellers have really helped me out of a rut. Love everything there (and everybody). Here are a few recent layouts:

I need to make a run and get some fabric today to make a few baby things for myself, my good friend Kristine, and my neighbor. My sewing machine has been feeling neglected lately and I need to put an end to that. Speaking of sewing, I just joined this great group and I'm so excited to get started. Hopefully you'll be seeing a homemade table runner here in the near future.

I guess that's about all that's going on in this neck of the woods! Hope you have a wonderful day! xoxo until next time (which won't be so long I promise).
