Garden Whimsy


I finally got to stamp last night and made this card. I just had to use my new stamp set Garden Whimsy. I loved this set the minute I saw it in the new catalog. My card base is Blue Bayou stamped with Fine Lace in Blue Bayou. I also used Soft Sky, Purely Pomegranate, and Whisper White. The butterfly is from Garden Whimsy. I stamped the butterfly on Whisper White twice and then cut the wings out and attached them to the other butterfly so it looks like the butterfly is fluttering it's wings. I used my new Mat Pack from Stampin Up to do the paper piercing (love it). I also used Antique Brass hardware. The little flower is from Priceless. I finished the card off with stickles on the butterfly and the flower. The ribbon is Purely Pomegranate from Stampin Up. I love these colors together. Have a great week.

So Sorry

I haven't been able to post a new picture of the girls or had the time to stamp.
I am hoping to do something tonight or tomorrow night. My stamping time is usually at night after I put the girls to bed but I have been too tired to do anything. They are both crawling everywhere and I think it is wearing me out. I am sorry for being MIA for the last couple of days. I hope to be more on top of it this week.

Playing Nice

We had a busy day today. Grandma came over and we went to lunch and then went shopping. I bought the cutest stuff for the girls of course it is for next year being that everything is on sale. We got some great deals. We came home and the girls were so cute they were playing so nice with each other. Presley has started screaming now but it seems Brooke has stopped with her screaming. They were laughing and chasing each other and talking back and forth. It was the sweetest thing to witness. We then went swimming and the girls just had a ball. Oh, and this was the other outfit that Gary and I bought when we knew we were having girls. I am so glad I have these little darling girls. When I found out I was pregnant I really wanted two boys because I knew Gary wanted boys but I can't imagine my life without these little angels. I have to tell you the girls are really recognizing people. When grandma walked through the door both of their faces lit up and Brooke and Presley both got so excited. I know that made Grandma feel special. I love days like this one, we had such a great time and the girls were great. I better enjoy these while I can because I know it is few and far between. I better put my tired self to bed. Goodnight!

Happy Happy

Brooke and Presley were given these pillows from Room Service Home(Thanks Grace) the modeling for the catalog. Brooke really loves these little pillows. She is also getting better with her picture taking. I am able to get some really great photos of Brooke. I think she is getting the hang of it, after all I have the camera out every day.The pillows are adorable one is a bunny and the other is a lamb. They are really soft. I can foresee the girls using them for a long time. You should check out the catalog they have some really cute stuff. I have a link on the right side of my blog. I still can't believe the girls will be 8 months soon. I look at them every day and think how lucky I am to have such precious gems. They are such good babies. God definitely blessed me with these two little ones. I guess I better get them out of their jumpy and let them crawl around. My computer time is over. Thanks for visiting.

Trouble x 2

My sweet Presley is crawling all over now and getting into trouble as you can see with the blinds. I guess I will have to keep them up slightly so she cannot get to them. My house looks like a maze with all the gates and stuff up. It's much easier to keep it all put up with two crawling around and getting into everything. Hmmm, maybe I'll lose some weight chasing them around, one could only hope. Speaking of weight I started Weight Watcher's last week and I weighed myself this morning and lost four pounds. Yahoo! I have to stay with it because I am tired of this baby weight. The hardest part is drinking all the water because I have to use the bathroom more and with the girls crawling around I have to make it quick or they get into things or fall and bump their sweet little heads. I know TMI, but it's true!

Sweeties





I took these pictures of the girls yesterday. They are both crawling around everywhere. Presley still stops to play but she can get around pretty well.

We bought these outfits when we found out we were having two girls so I had to take a picture of them in these adorable clothes.

My mother in law just stopped by, yahoo! I have help for a little while. I must go to feed the girls. It's lunchtime they are getting a little fussy.

Bandaid Tin

I cased this from Beate Johns. I used the same stamp set because I needed a baby gift and thought it was a great idea. I am also going to a retreat in September and I am going to teach the Bandaid Tin. I am making a bandaid tin for keeping track of Birthdays. I thought that would be a good one to show people who don't have babies or need a baby gift. I will post that one when I get finished. Thanks for looking.

Posing Again

Okay, I had to show this picture because little Presley is posing again. She does this all the time.
I think it is so cute. The other picture wasn't very good of her so I had to add this one to even out the bad. Bye for now.

The Hats

I bought these hats a while ago and love them, so I had to take some pictures before they grew out of them. I know, I said I wouldn't dress them alike but sometimes I will if I can't find coordinating outfits and if it is too adorable.Brooke is crawling around everywhere and Presley is well on her way. She crawls a little bit then sits up. Presley will sit and play with something a lot longer than Brooke. I haven't had any stamping time lately. I am hoping maybe tonight or tomorrow for stamping time. I am going to fix some issues from a training I did last week so Grandma will come over to watch the girls because Daddy left for California today. I will have a little "me" time while I drive to the office,can you believe driving is "me" time. I guess I consider it "me" time because it is quiet and no babies crying. That is sad huh! Oh well the pearls of motherhood. Thanks for visiting.
