Not So Rogue Robots

I can't believe that I haven't gotten to this kit yet! The Wonderful Melissa Daniels created this cute kit called Not so Rogue Robots that reminded me so much of my son and I just couldn't pick which photos to use for it. Though it would have been perfect for robot photos, we just don't have any. My oldest has some robots, but of course we have no photos and I wasn't feeling very creative to go run with the camera so I worked with what I had. Thus giving you these pages!

Faiths 5th birthday

So I was feeling motivated because of the wonderful sale that inkubook was having several weeks back and I just had to finish some pages that were in dire need of finishing so I could get them printed and sent on their way! Voila! Here are a couple pages I completed using a oldy but goody called Swanky by Shel Belle Scraps. It was a huge kit but I did get it around 9 months ago. Anyhoo, it was a bright bold kit that I have managed to pull a TON of layouts from, and was just perfect for my daughter Faith's fifth birthday party we had at the Olympia Washington Hands on Childrens Museum. (this was my first ever location party)...though it was super easy I was certain I would not do another one until she requested her 6th birthday at the local pool. Hmmm maybe next year I will get to do the breakfast in your pajama party for her that my dear friend Dawn is salivating at the mouth to do. Go check out her blog Not Just a Mommy and get inspired by all her amazing creativity! Now here is a preview of the kit and the double page LO I did using her kit

I'm a bad bad blogger!

Yup I said it I admitted it and that is the first step to fixing the problem...isn't it??? Well now that I have that done and said, I wanted to post the album I did for Faith. It is her first 5 years just one or two photos for each month of year one and each additional year after that. I made an album for her and of course ordered it through inkubook. I just got it in the mail yesterday and it is so stinkin cute! She loves it, I love it and I don't think it could be any better. The kit I used was called Talias baby love but you can't get it anymore because Erin at Scrappyweiss Designs retired so it is pointless to send you to her store because boooooohhoooooo, she isn't there anymore. But with that said it was a super kit, and very very fun to create this album for faith.

My labor day weekend

I have finally celebrated my first labor day weekend EVER! I remember when labor day weekend just meant staying home and sleeping in and getting ready for school to start. But I think our family has begun a new tradition of going to the beach and staying in our little cottage that we found. We went with some dear friends of ours and had just the greatest time. From hiking to lighthouses, and gocarts, to bumper cars, campfires to smores, and feeding seaguls, to horseback beach rides, we just about covered every activity we could fit into one single 4 day weekend. What a great time we had.
