It's a Girl!!

Say hello to the first baby born on our farm!!!!

Dear Hubby just happened to go outside this afternoon and there in the woods was the new nanny with her very first kid! They are both doing well, happy and warm in the barn.

This is Elizabeth.


As we were watching mother and baby in the barn my dear son said, "Mom we don't even have to do anything to learn about stuff around here....we just have to watch." I couldn't agree more!

Quote to Ponder

And Remember,
No Matter Where You Go,
There You Are.

Some of my Favorite Scrapbook Pages

Every year my very talented BFF comes over and takes pictures of the kids in the front yard with all of the leaves.

I thought these pictures were some of the best yet! She always manages to capture my kids perfectly!

I used my Creative Memories papers and cut the embellishments using my Cricut.

Decorating Your Home with Creative Memories and Your Cricut!!!!!

I have been meaning to post something about how much I LOVE the Cricut Expression that my parents gave me for Christmas and am now finally finding the time to not only tell you all how much I love it but hopefully inspire you to make something for yourself as well.

I saw a really cool idea on this blog and decided to tweak it to my own taste.

Instead of using fabric I used my Creative Memories scrapbook paper and various other things I had in my craft stash. I went to my local craft store and bought some canvases already stretched onto frames and then added the paper and embellishments. I made the letter T using my Cricut and hung the ribbon of various lengths all over. My daughter loved this project and I have to get on the ball and help her make some of these for her room.

I think it turned out really cool. The best thing about it is that I can change out the pictures anytime I want.

Indoor Tent

My kids love to build tents all over the house and it drives their Dad up the wall! Tonight, though they got a free pass and took advantage of it.

Think they'll get any sleep?????? We'll see.
