we GIRLS rock…

for cha-winter, i created a layout with that title. it was a photo of one of our group shots of us mechanics for PMP.
we had a fundraiser crop yesterday, at suzy’s, for the american heart association, in honor of marshall tornay.
here are some of the cards that emi and i created…

and that sold for $1 each as part of our groups’ donation in his honor. i couldn’t be more proud of emiko, after explaining why mommy was going to be working on cards, she got out the fiskars punches and stamp pad, and punched and stamped her heart out!
throughout the day, we laughed, we cried, we created, and we all had a wonderful time! i was just so happy throughout the crop, and felt so blessed to be there, among my dear friends, who contributed in their own way for this wonderful cause:)
rocio, maria, and i finished her kit:) it is a darling book, and i cannot wait to take more classes from her! suzy is going to book her, and i know her #1 and #2 fans will be there! if you’ve not taken classes from debby, please do! she is just amazing!
here’s some other shares:

miss em and i:) i love her style, her passion, her heart. our dd’s are so much alike, we’re going to have a playdate for them. she always amazes me with how fast of a scrapper she is, and she is designing for terri at color me miki. check out her kits!

this girl is so sweet! she joined us from far away, and during the crop, she came over and said…oh, can i scrap a picture for you? i was all over it and blown away:) she chose a photo taken of mari by miss krista lund! as soon as i photograph it, i will share:) it is beautiful and it took her all of 5 minutes!

aside from the mini book, i did finish 1 layout as an assignment. i’ll be sharing that and the others as soon as i create them!

this morning, miss mari and i got our last playdate in with the va-wragges before their 3 week adventure! my mom has the only photo, because as soon as she took it of the girls’ hugging, mari let everyone know just how good she is at being two. and simply threw a fit. big time toddler style. then, promptly took a nap in her big girl bed with daddy for 2 1/2 hours. nice quiet time for emi and i. so, we watched tinkerbell, drew some, and then she watched some spongebob [my least fave] while i curled up on the couch with her. we wish you a fun, safe, and blessed trip. we can’t wait until you get back home! and we’re so so excited that you won krista’s photo shoot! she seriously is magic behind that lens, as you saw:)

omgosh, how have i only known you two since the garage and love you like my very own family? you girls rock!!!
