as i sit here, making more to do lists, checking out other blogs, and on email…i saw SHE had the same title as i used. and we both were a date late in officially welcoming july. just love her stuff. if you ever have the opportunity to take a class from her, please do so!!! it is worth every penny and then some. including the airfare to get to her class!
ok, onto laundry and other things i really should be doing.
ok, and blog break? what blog break? LOL.
amazing isn’t it? how grown this girl is looking!
and as much as i already miss her longer mari hair- she was so excited about her new do, and i know it will be that much easier after bathtime to get it dried, so she can play more!
happy summer!

what else can i say about my sweet girl suzy? at one of PMP’s NSD or ANNI events, i asked one of the mechanics to just start shooting, so that my daughters will know how truly crazy i am at heart. this was just one of those moments. i had no idea she was going to mount me! love ya girl!
just in love with KI lace paper right now! this butterfly one is frosted:) yum!
we had such a wonderful easter this year:) after church, we got the house ready for our family and friends and a visit from the easter bunny! bok bok LOL!
this was for an assignment using pink paislee stamps! just love the basic grey with it:)

seems like i just posted that? it was another very full weekend, for us all. we all had so much fun doing our own things, and then today, had a wonderful time at the little gym, celebrating her grandson’s 2nd birthday!
thursday, after little gym camp, miss emi went home with my mom and had some awesome one on one time, just with her and my dad. their backyard is so spacious, and they filled it with a bball court, swing/slide set, and water/sand play area for the girls. they are so fortunate! daddy golfed and even though he didn’t have a good game, he had fun. he caught up with my cousin’s dh, so all was good there.
friday, after miss mari and i had our play time, daddy took over and i cropped my heart out! didn’t start until about 10pm, after our giggles and wiggles were out LOL. i finished one of my assignments, so i felt productive at least:)
saturday, i took miss mari up to my parents to join her big sis. we had a nice picnic lunch, and then i headed to suzy’s for bf’s class and more! dh had my bil’s bachelor party that day/night. they played bball for 2+ hours [and no one got hurt LOL], they had lunch, then bowled, then took in an A’s/giant’s game [the giants WON!!!], and then who knows what they did. what i do know is, they were so freakin tired from all the physical stuff, who would’ve thought? LOL. just happy that no one got hurt!
today, i slept in:) dh went to church. the girls and my parents came home just in time for lunch. after that, my parents’ took off, and we celebrated tanner’s bday:) then, we played, had dinner, and now it is chill time for dh and i:)
hope you had a full weekend, too:) whatever that means for you and your families!
blessings,

oh my goodness, i haven’t laughed like this in a long time. . . or since last friday’s crop! however, we had a *special* guest, mrs. bf!
we spent friday night cropping, laughing, shopping and more! we had a very fun contest in honor of her. however, if you weren’t there, we’re not at liberty to share any of that, per our new bff. LOL.
and i love the fact that during our interview contest, she just hopped right up onto the chair, like i normally do!
saturday was an amazing day of brilliant classes and more silly random fun!
then, we (rocio, nanice, suzy, pattie, becky, and i) all went into SF. omgosh, do not know where to begin!
that is why i posted earlier, so i wouldn’t forget some of our moments, so here’s the picture version. enjoy!

this woman is so amazing!!! thanks suzy for getting her out here this weekend!!!
pictures to come . . .
i truly love these products! helen is an amazing woman, with a beautiful story to share. if you haven’t already, please go here to read all about it.
here’s what i created with her tulip and pansy lines. tfl!
this is my FAVE. after re-reading helen’s story, talking about all the beautiful things she was surrounded by growing up, it lead me to finally open up a box of sewing things my grandma had left for me. she not only was an amazing woman, but also used to sew like i scrap! hee hee, cause those who know me, know i cannot sew, but i try my best to scrap my heart out! the only thing not MLS in this layout, is a piece of white eyelet fabric from my grandma’s box.
journaling reads: educator for my girls. recorder of our memories. insider of secrets. negotiator for balancing our time.
and here are some fun cards.
tfl:) and thanks again, helen and suzy for this wonderful opportunity!
