the big project that WE will be working on for the next 9 months will debut right around Valentine's Day!! isn't that amazing, I mean Valentine's Day???...For all of your newer readers, I call my husband "Valentine"...LOVE the way GOD works...
Let me just say that WE are over the moon with excitement and the boys...well, they are up and down..not really too sure what to think except for the fact that Jack said "Mom, I KNOW how this happens"....Jack is 13 so I am sure he is pretty grossed out...Ben is just sweet, confused and just wants to go outside and play.
My mind has been spinning non stop with all of the things that pop in my mind that we get to do again..including packing baby bags, strollers...diapers....but most of all, for Valentine, because he has never had a child...THAT is what I am soooo excited about, well that and getting to do Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, first this and that's, seeing the excitement of little things...We feel so blessed that GOD has given us the opportunity to be parents...
My creative mind is also spinning, not that it ever stops, which makes me feel like I need to get a GIGANTIC grip on my scrap booking, well...not so much scrap booking..more journaling, remembering and creating around the past 13 years of being a mom. I used to think that I had to have a 12 x 12 album for each of the boys, for everymomentous occasion and I am happily deviating away from that. It is still a good idea that I create a 12x12 for the big things, maybe 1 per month recapping this and that...but I am really starting to embrace the idea of creating "smaller" (I did not say "mini") versions...I seem to be able to really get my fresh thoughts of past moments out on these smaller projects...and there seems to be less stress when creating them...
okay I am starting to babble..here is an example of what I think is my #2 most fav. project to date, using Teresa's papers...and let me be corny and tell you that I LOVE creating with her lines of products, new and old! I even stopped mid-project to tell her that I LOVE her stuff and that I feel like my heart has wings when I playing & creating with it...
as well as the fact that I got to see all of the new stuff coming out......and it just gets better & and better....pssttttt....if you are going to be in Arizona on July 25th, I highly suggest that you call up Making Memories Unforgettable to reserve a spot (or two) in one, or both of my classes because I will be teaching one of my classes with the new stuff....and YOU will be able to get your little hands on it before the rest of the world!!!! LUCKY us~ and course...there will be chocolate chip cookies, duh!~
to be clear..this project shown is NOT the project for MMU..it is just something new I made..and LOVE...so it may be a class...sooner than you know..
and lastly, speaking of classes...I am sooo silly excited to tell you that we have tons of doodlers out there in the USA happily coloring this weekend..AND there are now doodlers in Spain, Australia, Canada & South Africa...THAT makes me so excited...and there is always time to join us because the class is a work-at-your-own-pace-in-your-own-space kinda thing....so if you are interested...there is a button up on the right...
oh..and ONE MORE THING...(see I told you my mind was spinning....)
