So So Loves



Cheers to Sherrie! She makes such adorable cards, I saw one of my favorites...so so loves by Unity Stamp Company (also my employer) and decided to make my version of this cute little card.

Next I will have to try the paper-piecing technique that looks like fun, check out Sherry's blog I have added her to my "fun places to visit" on my blog page. Have fun!

Baby AJ




This goes along with the post before this, look how much he has grown. This photo was for his first Christmas and he is nine months old. It is hard to believe he is already in kindergarten.

How do you spell LOVE to a child? T-I-M-E !

Time fly's by so fast...enjoy every minute!

First day of kindergarten for AJ




I am late in posting these photos, they are of AJ on the first day of kindergarten. We also recently celebrated his 5 year adoption anniversary! We are so lucky to have him in our lives.
He looks so grown up! So far he is loving school and likes his teacher. Things have been busy lately new schedules to get use to, Isabella is settled into her new daycare and is doing good. Making the most of the nice weather we have lately by letting the kids play outside a lot, soon they will be playing in the snow! AJ is looking forward to jumping through the leaves again and begging to get pumpkins carved and for Halloween to arrive! To be a kid again...carefree & fun!

Fun new cards...Unity Stamps





After the kids had their "tubby time", bedtime stories and good night prayers I enjoyed spending the evening doing my favorite thing...stamping and getting creative!

These are a few of the cards I completed. All three stamps are from Unity and are so much fun. I hope you like them as much as I do!

It's getting late so I will be keeping this post short and sweet, thanks for stopping by!

Ride 'em Cowboy!



A MOP's (Mother's of Preschooler's)event took place Nov 2006 and this is one of my favorite photos taken that evening. He had a fun time "dressing up" and playing the part. HE'S MY HANDSOME LITTLE DUDE! Love you AJ!

(sorry it is a bit blurry, I should have taken it out of the page protector prior to taking the photo. Was in too much of a hurry, I will remember this for next time)

Quick little card's



Here are a couple of cards I created with my Unity Stamps. For the Thank You card I used liquid glass to add texture, I love this stamp there are so many things you can do with this stamp to dress up the image. On the inside of the owl card I stamped "I Miss You" for the sentiment.

We have had a very nice holiday weekend. Time spent with family/friends and tonight we are going to the neighbors for a "back to school" sundae's. Should be a fun time!
I can't believe how summer is coming to a close and school begins this week. It will be nice to see things slowing down a bit to allow for more creative time indoors.

Thanks for stopping by...Happy Labor Day!!!
