A little of this, a little of that

Again, another week of not that much going on around here. Friday Abby and I made the cards to take around for the Relief Society Birthdays (she SO loves doing them!).
I have been making different cards each month, mostly because I would get bored doing the same ones over and over, but if any of you have ideas of some simple but cute cards email them my way!!

After forgetting to set my alarm for my spinning class on Saturday, and missing for the first time in three months(I could have killed myself when I rolled over at 8:50am and my class started at 7:30am!) the day was spent out in the nice weather rebuilding our sandbox. The wood was falling apart and the liner had seen better days long ago. So, after moving the sand and taking it all apart, Paul did an excellent job of putting it back together MUCH better than before with new lumber and liner. And just in time for the snow storm that hit Sunday night. We had thought the last one had passed us and we were so lucky, not so much this time!!!

Today has been laundry and cleaning day, so not alot of excitement. But as usual on cleaning days while waiting for the laundry to process I was able to get some pages done- well one page for the GDS gallery using my friend Laura's little boy. I think it turned out pretty cute and I used elements from many of the before mentioned kits.
Next I made this layout of Liv. I find myself doing alot of these types of pages for her- I just can't help taking pictures of her cute face for no reason at all!! That day she had just awakened from her nap and her cheeks were so rosy and her eyes just sparkling as she knelt down in front of me holding her bunny and looked up at me and smiled, (melt) I had to document that face!!
I used the kit given to the Supreme Teams of several sites as a thank you for our work called "Grateful for you". You wouldn't believe the size of this kit, yes, 25 download links to be exact, and it has sooo many wonderful things in it from tonz of great designers. Yes, I have only touched the tip of the iceberg with this layout.
Then to follow in my tradition of changing the wallpaper on my computer I used this down loadable one by Eva Kipler as a template
and created this one:Then I sent this one over to Paul, yes he gets a new one from me every month with fresh faces of his cute girls to keep him company all day!!Finally I don't know how many or if any of you go over to GDS and check out the gallery but this is one that I uploaded a while ago using the Template challenge template by Andrea Gold and Shana's "Party!" kit- don't you just LOVE that cupcake!!!!
So all in all a pretty productive day and I will just keep scrappin and plugin away on the laundry! :)

I'm so happy to know that I wasn't the only one that missed spinning on Saturday.

Brogan was up all night Friday night and around 3:00 in the morning I reached over and turned my alarm off (knowing that I wouldn't be able to function at all if I got up and went).

However, I was upset about having missed spinning all day long. I guess we both needed our sleep.

Um, don't click on the link above... I was stupid and -DID- and was redirected somewhere weird.

Anyway, Bree! That page of Liv is the CUTEST thing I've ever seen. I know that most of that is the adorable photos but the page is also put together so well. I am amazed at your talent. :D

I am amazed at how many pages you can do and still do laundry and take care of the girls. I know what you are saying about Liv When she looks up at me and asks for anything, she gets it every time. That mega kit has some wonderful colors in it. Great work on the pages.

WOW! You got a lot done! I love Liv's sweet little face, too. She really is a cute little thing! I love all of your layouts, as usual; you inspire me! Thanks for the great ideas!

I do love that cupcake! You have quite the talent for this stuff. I think it's great you send Paul a new desktop. Very fun!

The birthday cards, desktops, and scrap pages are all so great! That's amazing that you can do all of those along with everything else! I love Liv's rosy cheeks...they are just too precious.
