~Merry Monday, the last reveal, shaped paper SVG's!~

Happy Monday everyone!

We had an incredibly busy weekend this weekend,
hubsters got me a new toy....it is a Craftsman Riding Lawn Mower!
With a buggy for the back LOL

We also got the fence up for the chickens, hopefully today I will
be able to get some pictures, I was too busy mowing to take them yesterday LOL
Spring is definitely in the air and that makes me happy!My favorite flower the Daffodil, Oh I was so excited we have some on our property!
These beautiful pink flowers, they attract the most amazing bees!

Here is my very last reveal for the month of April &
Scrapbooking From The Inside Out.
I had an amazing time playing with the Femininity kit.This page is kind of funny to me, I did not think saying I liked attention
would be anything really, because I meant that I love attention from my husband
and how he dotes on me. BUT I was not thinking that everyone would not
think I meant it that way LOL
Oh well, I do love my husband and the attention he gives me, it's
how our relationship has lasted for so long...I love being a girl!

OK now I have some shaped paper SVG's totally inspired but this LO!

The first one is a scalloped paper with STARS! Hello how fun!
Just click on the image to download.

This one is just a scalloped paper but not the huge scallops

Scalloped Frame

Retro Die Cut paper

OK that is all for me today!
I will pick a winner for the giveaway tomorrow.
We had a scare with my son yesterday and thought he broke his wrist.
Boys will be boys in our house LOL
Have a GREAT Monday!!!
Thanks for stopping by to say hi

~Sunday filled with snowy joy~

OK I will admit it,

I shoved the crafting aside this weekend for a couple of days
filled with family and snow!
I could not tear myself away from my camera, and baking
in the kitchen, also countless trips to the stove to make Hot Chocolate!

I am the first one to admit I am like a child when it comes to snow.
I look forward to it every year and pray right along side of the children.
This time was extra special because it was a weekend
even daddy got in on the fun, plus the beautiful, incredible ice we had.

Honestly it's like God's diamonds all over the land. I love it!

Next door the icy trees lined up ready for my camera!

Little Miss Daffodil did not miss one second in the snow with our family.
She stuck to the boys like glue all day and night!

I know this picture is awful, but the sleet was so heavy...
if you look close you know why I posted it...that HUGE grin from the baby
in the family says it all...

I wish I could capture the breathtaking beauty of the ice shimmering on the trees
I was memorized...I would love to have taken pictures all day!

Even daddy got in on the fun with his floppy pink hat!
(remember he requested I make it on Halloween?? he still wears it :))

A close up of the amazing ice and how stunning it really is...

We live on the end of a country road and the boys loved running up and
down sledding on it...they all held hands too keep the sleds together, it was
one of those precious moments a mother remembers forever.

So that's my snowy story and I am sticking to it!
Thank you for sharing a piece of my life this weekend,
I will be back to crafting tomorrow, until then

~Have a BEAUTIFUL blessed day~

~Creative for Christmas this Monday & RAK day~

Good morning!

I had the scrappy bug lastnight, you know I love scrapbooking
during the Christmas season.
Not the pictures of Christmas, but all the vintage unique and beautiful papers!
All the colors and glitter available, just makes me want to SCRAP!

This is the picture I shamelessly posed during out Christmas Tree hunt.

And some of the Graphic 45 Christmas paper.
I am also loving the new Prima Bling! WOOHOO! Love it!

You know...I have not done a RAK in a while have I?
It might be that time again....
How about an Alphabet RAK,
everyone needs more alphas whether you scrapbook or
make cards, or just craft!Some Kaiser Craft Alphas, some October Afternoon Alphas and
some Colorbok Alphas! A great mix!
You know the drill, make sure to be a follower,
make sure to leave a comment...and I will randomly choose a winner on Wednesday!

~Thanks for coming by to say hey~
~Have a great Monday wherever you may be~

~Monday Magic, Christmas spirit is here!~

It's no secret I LOVE LOVE the holidays,

it's not the shopping, the food, or even the gifts.
It is family , pure and simple!
I love that most have a day or two or 5 off, the kids are out of school
and we get time to spend together doing whatever brings us closer.
This weekend we went to the Christmas Tree Farm with friends,
baked cookies while listening to Christmas music, and had
a very unexpected game night.

Since no scrapping was done I thought I would share a few pictures...
This is my son, I gave them all Santa hats, and clearly
he was NOT going to wear one at any cost! LOLThis is the money shot babay! I wanted this shot all year and
screamed across the field..."TAKE HIS HAND!!" LOL
That's right, I am NOT ashamed the scrapbooker popped right out, and
forced them to pose for momma! LOL
So that was just a glimpse of our weekend...
My entire life I wanted to live in a quiet country home ...
doors and hearts always open for company.
This week has truly been a blessing and it feels like home at last.

TOMORROW I will be drawing the name for the Chipboard RAK!
and I wanted to take one second to share with you some fun news!

You know the little tutorial video I made the other day?
The Snowflake Wreath?
Well, I bragged on Helmar in the video because...well honestly?
I love Helmar glue! It works fast enough to grab and stick and it last forever!
I use it all the time when I can find it...
well I get a little email asking if they could feature it on the Helmar Blog!
I was like..."Ummm heck ya!!"
So please go by and check it out!

I would love to show them I did send people their way! :)

Also I have some fun Imaginisce projects coming right up!
