Project 365 - Week 14 3/30/09 - 4/5/09

Monday, March 30I love our neighborhood. We went on a walk tonight and from the bridge over the lake we caught the sun setting. Sometimes I wish our house was on the lake, but the practical side of me knows it’s just as well we aren’t.

92 - 3/30/09

Tuesday, March 31 Well I have Nicholas smiling now; it’s just a “cheesy” smile. But I still think it is adorable. He is starting to eat off a plate rather than his tray and trying out a fork.

93- 3/31/09

Wednesday, April 1 Nicholas loves his puzzles. He has several of them and he is really great at putting them together. He is learning his colors from them. He is saying so many new words every day; it is amazing to watch him.

94- 04/01/09

Thursday, April 2 Jackson is rolling all over and scooting too. He loves to be on the floor looking around and checking it all out. I think this little boy will not be happy if he is confined.

95 - 04/02/09

Friday, April 3 I finally captured a real smile. It seems like most of our pictures are at the kitchen table. I try to make it home during the week for dinner every night so we can have dinner as a family. Sadly the reality of being a working mom is the majority of the week nights are spent on eating, bathing and getting the boys to bed. After bedtime Mike and I take advantage for some hobby time.

Saturday, April 4 Jackson has now moved from just rice cereal (which we do not think he is too fond of) onto vegetables, peas to be exact. Surprisingly he ate a whole container of peas on his first try, he even seemed to like them until the very end when he gave a heeby-jeeby shake and made a face with each bite.

97 - 04//04/09

Sunday, April 5 I love my goofy little boy! Nicholas is so busy; he just plays all day long. Nana R came to visit this afternoon and brought the boys a cute cookie jar.

Happy Anniversary Dad & Evelyn!

0409-So-Happy-Together.jpg

My Dad and Evelyn's 29 year anniversary was on Saturday. I did this page on Friday night, but we had way too busy of a weekend, so I am just getting it posted. Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a great one! Love you guys!

A detail shot of the flowers, I layered with foam dots and topped off with Jenni Bowlin pearl buttons. All supplies for the LO from the Color Me Daisy April kit and add-on's.

Week 13 3/23 - 3/29/09

87-20090325.jpg

Monday, March 23I’m really tired today. Jackson rolled over today again, and I finally caught some pictures.

Day 85 - 3/23/09

Tuesday, March 24 I got home late tonight because I went to a PSE class at Scrapbooks Etc, with Jen so I missed seeing the boys. They were good going to bed for daddy. Day 86 - 3/25/09

Wednesday, March 25 Jackson’s just chillin’. He has been doing well eating cereal.

Day 87 - 3/25/09

Thursday, March 26 It has been rare to get a picture of Nicholas smiling. When he sees the camera he turns the other way. He was just goofing off after dinner when I caught this one.

Day 88 - 3/26/09

Friday, March 27 I figured out how to get Nicholas to smile. I got him to say cheese and now at least I can count on a goofy grin from him. Nicholas likes to play with Jackson when J is in the excersaucer. N never had one.

Day 89 - 3/27/09

Saturday, March 28 The typical “cheese” picture I am getting now. Nicholas and I went to Costco and Target today. He even got his shoes and sat down for me when it was time to leave. Nicholas likes to say Bye Bye Costco (although it sounds like Co co).

Day 90 - 3/28/09

Sunday, March 29 Nicholas went with me to Best Buy today to help me pick out a new laptop. Mike spent the afternoon getting it set up for me. I spent the evening playing with it.

Day 91 - 3/29/09

CMD Project & a couple of Layouts

March09032copy.jpg

I used the Color Me Daisy April kit and Add On to make this spring themed wall hanging, although I haven't decided where to hang it yet and I had trouble getting a real good picture. I just got some Glimmer Mist this week so I tried spraying it on the acrylic. I like how it gave it a rain drop look. The color was Patina and it worked well without the papers and embellishments from the kit and add on.

I used the Maya Road Sakura Acrylic Accordion Album and the Making Memories Bloom Blossoms and Buttons in the April Add On along with Lily Bee papers, American Crafts ribbon and thickers from the main kit.

Here is a better close of shot of a couple of the flower pieces.

I have another CMD layout from the April kit, but it will have to wait until I can rephotograph it in the daylight. It came out too blurry to post.

I do have these two layouts. The first one is using Making Memories Chloe's Closet. I cut along the birds with a craft knife to make photo corners for the picture.

Hello World

This one is a page kit hybrid layout from the Scrapbooks Etc PSE class I took on Monday.

Lucky Me

The assignment was to make a 8x8 photo collage. Kind of a basic thing, but I did learn some other great tips in this class. I plan to take it again when it is offered, the instructor said she covers different topics each time. I did think it was a cute page.

Jackson Layouts

JustBorn.jpg

I have been neglectful in getting pages done for Jackson, and his baby book is sorely in need of filling. I was able to make these pages this weekend during our little crop. I just love his little smile! I used the March Color Me Daisy kit for this one. I like the extra the feather adds. Don't you?

So Happy

I love this picture of my Dad and Jackson. It was taken when they were here at Christmas. I used the new Lily Bee papers and Die Cut frame that I received in my March Mosh Posh kit for this page. Aren't the little birdies cute!

Love You

I dug out the Color Me Daisy October kit and the Mosh Posh September kit which both featured Pink Paislee and meshed the two together to come up with this simple page. I added some stickles for a little extra bling!

Birthday Card and Mini Book

MomCarrBday1.jpg

I put this together for Mike's mom for her birthday a couple of weeks ago. I used the Making Memories Chloe's Closet line from Michael's. I love the colors they are fun and "springy". I don't however care for the thinness of the papers. I also found this cool little butterfly punch on the same shopping trip. I love how it lifts from the page. Mom C Bday 1

The mini book is a Bazzill mini. I replaced the pink ribbon that was on it with white, since the boys were the feature. After printing off 2x2 pictures on my printer, I hand doodled the edges and added a few photo corners from one of my brand new EK Success punches.

Such a quick little project. I had made a couple of other similar ones a few weeks ago for Evelyn's birthday too. They are perfect for grandparent's brag books!

Monday, March 16Jackson is teething pretty bad. Spending time in the evenings getting ready for a crop night this weekend.

Day 78 - 3/16/09

Tuesday, March 17 Nicholas now is interested in playing with Jackson. So cute!

Day 79 - 3/17/09

Wednesday, March 18 Our Marti! She found her beds stuffed in the toy basket so she climbed in and snuggled down for a nap.

Day 80 - 3/18/09

Thursday, March 19 Nicholas is starting to say a lot of new words. Every day is something new. He is learning so much every day it is amazing to watch.

Day 81 - 3/19/09

Friday, March 20 Grandpa Carr was sick with the flu and could not go to the Angels/Diamondbacks spring training game with Mike and the boys. So Mike braved it alone. The boys both behaved pretty well, so they had a fun boys day out.

Day 82 - 3/20/09

Saturday, March 21 I hosted my first crop night. It was fun and I got some pages done. Doesn't Jackson look cute in his new PJ's from Aunt Jessica.

Day 83 - 3/21/09

Sunday, March 22 So Marti will take a nap anywhere. And this morning I found her inside the pillow covers from our bed pillows.
