Hello and Happy Monday friends! Have you caught up on life after CHA? With all the scrappy FUN back in Anaheim, my time to play has been put on hold…since I’ve been home!

After catching up on household stuff…we took advantage of the gorgeous Winter we have been having here in the BAY!

Our weekend had playdates, bday parties, reading class, golf, church, and of course a Superbowl party:) Oh, and we started prep for Valentine’s fun for the girls’ classrooms, but that is a work in progress:)

Here’s some of our highlights:

Oh, thank you to our family, dear friends and our church family…this weekend was exactly what this Mommy needed after being away!

God bless your week ahead!

It’s that time of year…

where paper and glue and glitter and ribbons and paints and all that good stuff combine to shine at the semi annual CHA show!

and some seriously amazingly talented ladies I’m blessed to call my friends will unite and support one another as the new goodies debuts!

Here’s a small peak into what I’ve been creating [some regular assignments and some for CHA]…

and there’s more once I am allowed to share, I will:)

Wow! In the scrappy world, what an exciting time with CHA W just a few days away! Looking forward to seeing such dear friends I’ve been blessed to get to know from all over the globe!

Onto the assignments for My Little Shoebox from December…

Ever since this sweet baby boy entered our world, our family just can’t get enough!
