Okay now that you are caught up on our lives here is an update on the scrappy world for me....

I am finding myself emotional as I wrote the final post for What's up Wednesday's over at Everyday Scrapper. I have had an amazing time getting to know some wonderful women there! I was truly blessed by my opportunity to work with many of them! If you want to check out more details of my final project and post click here.

THanks for stopping by my friends!

Road Tippin & Scrappin

Hey all! First I wanted to say THANK you all for your sweet congrats and comments on our new little Jaylin! So exciting! Thank you for your prayers and blessings! Your prayers greatest gift you could ever give to us! Thank you so much! We love you all!

Well I am road trippin with my family on our way to Reno for Daddy's AD conference. It has been quite a trip so far! I will try to post some pics soon, but it's been fun so far!

This week at Practical Scrapper the challenge is to use Ribbon/Fiber! Here are my ribbon creations! ~

And here is a little glimpse of what I featured for Everyday scrapper. So quick and easy!

This is a milestone calendar. I decided that on each month I would alter the page and put a picture of my daughter each month to go with the milestones. Well, of course just the picture didn't feel complete to the mommy scrapper in me, so I decided to do a little scrappy/altering to each month of the Calendar. Here are a few of the months. They are all simple and quick, but gave just enough to each of the calendar months and pictures to make it scrappy fun!

Blessings to you all!

Happy 3rd Birthday Tre!

Thank you JESUS for our little Tre! It has been three FAST and wonderful years with our sweet Tre. WE are so blessed to have him, and we thank the Lord for his life!

~~~~~

To celebrate we had planned on just a small little party with our family, but Tre kept talking about his friends coming over for his b-day. So I had a little egg hunt/b-day party for a few of his friends at our house during the day. Then we had his "Birthday party" at home with just our family and my mom and grandma "nanny sue" came up to join us! It was a wonderful time and Tre had a blast! As he says.... "Mommy, I got so blessed!" Blessed he was with family, homemade dinner "on Car plates", presents, and ice cream cake. God is good and we are blessed to celebrate 3 years with our bubba! Here are a few pictures to share!

Blessings to you all!
