Christmas in the Air

Last night I was blessed to hear my daughter lying in her bed singing Jingle Bells well after her bedtime. I finally had to go in and tell her that it was time for bed. She then informed me that her soundly sleeping sister was keeping her awake! One of those little moments I will treasure forever.

It did help encourage me to update the store with some Christmas products. So I have done just that!! And I've attached a coupon code for all through Christmas!!! Order as many times as you like, now through Christmas and get 20% off with the coupon below!

Thanksgiving?

Wait I thought it was still July. When did it all of a sudden get cold and become November?!! And not only November but the 21st of November! My goodness.

We celebrated my daughters birthday on Saturday, since her actual birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year. She was sitting with me at the computer while I was perusing pinterest and saw a rainbow cake that she fell madly in love with. Now cakes aren't really my thing. Mine are always lopsided and kinda look like they were made by a 10 year old with A.D.D. But I decided to attempt this one because it didn't seem that hard. Time consuming, but not hard.

The original version looks MUCH better than mine, and can be found here.

The kids were VERY excited about the rainbow cake and I was quite impressed with myself. I made the rainbow cake! And happy birthday to my sweet little angel girl.

Since I seem to be having a very project christmas more pictures will be coming! Get excited, get very excited!

I also put up some new paper packs on the website, some perfect for fall I hope!

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Time Flies - and a new Freebie

Time flies. I can't believe how much busier my life has been with the presence of a 12 lb. 5 week old baby. I find it extremely hard to believe that I ever found one child to be difficult. Silly naive me! Three kids, with none of them in school is quite a busy life. I'm trying to find the time to squeeze everything in. It's coming along, but not quite there yet!

I also realize that I never mentioned what we ended up naming the baby! We named him Liam Clarke. We both liked it and FINALLY found something we could agree on!

So I loaded some Halloween products into the store. Some Printable drink labels and gift tags for halloween parties and party favors and some papers of course. I've attached some pictures of the gift tags and the drink labels.

Here is another freebie in the store as well. Enjoy!!! Click here to visit the store

Baby on Board

So nothing new has been coming since I had a baby 2 weeks ago. He is a healthy little boy that weighed 9 lbs. 5 oz. 21 in long. We named him Liam Clarke and are enjoying the new addition to our family. Soon I will post a new freebie and some new products.

Thanks for your support everyone!

A Freebie

I posted a freebie on my website: It's a bit different for my usual style since the papers have a vignette, but hopefully it will get some use out of it.

It's been a long week. The days seem like years at this point, even though I know that I probably have about 2 weeks left. A good friend of mine just had her baby early and her precious little girl is in the NICU. I don't know if I could bear that, so I'm thanking God that I haven't yet had to do that. Hopefully again, all will go smoothly. Hope you all have a good Sunday!!

In A Whirlwind

I'm officially full term with my pregnancy now, which doesn't mean anything. I'll still be preggers for 3-5 weeks more! That's ok though. I feel pretty good considering the 100 degree temperatures here in Boise! Little guy still doesn't have a name, but soon! My 4 year old daughter is hoping for George Michael (not the singer songwriter) and she calls him Georgie. It's pretty cute. She's also still wants Carzmo, which is the name of one of her imaginary friends. Don't ask me where it came from, I have NO idea.

We have a list of names, but nothing final. A little story, my maiden name is Clarke, and I come from a family of 5 girls. So I thought it would be fun to name him Clarke, but my husband will only do it without the 'e' on the end. So here is the list. Would love to hear opinions!!

• Clarke

• Ethan

• Atticus

• George

We are slowing getting completely settled in our new little house, and I did replace my totaled car. I'm now a mini van mama, and love it!

More to come this week, plus another freebie!

One For the Books!

Fourth of july was awesome and I have to share my masterpiece, that yes, deserves to be in a food museum! Here's the recipe.

Well, things have, all of a sudden, gotten really busy around my house! My husband is in the application process for graduate school right now, so we decided to go ahead and try and sell our house so that when the time came to move we wouldn't be tied to it. We sold it in a total of 2, yes 2, days! So now, in between being about 33 weeks pregnant, packing, finding a place to live, having to be out of our house by the end of the month, and then normal day to day stuff, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed, exhausted, etc.

Then to top it off, Wednesday I was headed to a friends house to

pick up some stuff when I got rear-ended in what ended up being a 4 car pile up on the busiest road in Boise. I was the first car to get hit, then got pushed into a giant car in front of me, which hit the mini van in front of them. My car suffered the most damage and could very likely be totalled (luckily the kiddos were not with me). So not only was I standing on the side of the road on the hottest day we've had all year, but facing some quality time in the doctor's offices to insure that the baby and I are ok. The baby is ok, I have only had some bruising on my chest, and neck and upper back pain (which I'll be seeing a great chiropractor for).

So yeah, it's been a big week. But I thought I would post a freebie. I have had some people tell me that they don't know how to use patterned paper in a digital scrapbooking layout. So I thought I would put up a quick page for people to see how I use patterned papers. It's available for free here on my website

And it's up!!

Ok, I think things are finally working right. The store on my website is up! Click here to view it! There is a 20% off coupon for this week, so make sure you take advantage of that! I haven't been able to post all the products that I have yet, but if there is something that you would really like to be able to purchase that I haven't added to the store please let me know and I will get it posted ASAP! Also if you have samples that I can use in the store then email me and I will get you a coupon code for 50% off!!

A post for a rainy day!

Life has been so busy. We recently put our house up for sale, we had a garage sale this weekend, are getting ready for a fun camping trip (we hope it's fun - keep your fingers crossed!), oh and did I mention that I'm 30 weeks pregnant?

So between getting our house "market ready" and everything else that we've had going on, I have been a little bit less than energetic! However, there are some new things coming up. The store on my site is almost done, and some new products will be posted at Digital Dandelions on Monday! So be sure to check those out!!

*freebie coming soon**
