Happy New Year!

So it has been way too long since I have posted on this blog. So with a New Year ahead I resolve to keep this blog going.

Here's to a New Year, 2008. Cheers!

Maggie's 5th Birthday

Maggie's 5th Birthday Slide Show

Maggie celebrated her 5th Birthday last Friday. Everything turned out so nice. All the girls looks so adorable in their fairy outfits. It has been awhile since I have had the time to make anything, so I decided to make her a banner. I used the new Amy Butler papers and Making Memories glitter letters. I love how it turned out:

Martha Stewart Crafts at Michaels

Since it was very first announced that Martha Stewart would be developing an entire craft line of products, I have been very anxious to see it. Well the time has come and because I have spent the last week looking and looking for photos of it online and not finding any I decided to try my local Michaels yesterday and could not believe they had it in already. I took loads of photos, for those you who like me have been anxious to view this line.

I love it!

Swap FUN!

I was thrilled to read that my swap buddy, Sarah, got her package! So glad you liked everything I sent! How cool that we share the same name! This is my package to Sarah:

She mentioned in her questionnaire that she liked the color apple green, so I put a package of apple green together. This was so much fun to do. I would love to do a color swap.

I also got my swap package from I believe, Heidi. Thanks so much! I will have fun with my new goodies. Here’s a picture of what I received from Heidi:

You can see more photos from this swap on Amber’s website here.

Thanks Amber for such an awesome swap! I had a lot of fun with it! Hope to do more in the future.

Anyone reading who would like to do a color swap, let me know.
