Father's Day Cards

Below is the great card that I made over at Shutterfly for the Grandpas in our family for Father's Day!  I love this site because they have great deals and fun designs.  I have a family website created through them and use it to keep our family and friends easily updated on our doings and new monthly photos.  If you ever want to make a family webpage check them out.  Now I'm all set for Father's Day!  :)

Too Busy to Craft!?!

Too busy to craft!?!  Yes, it's true...I've been too busy to be crafty lately.  I have been good about keeping up with my favorite crafty blogs, and buying a few crafty projects for the future...but too busy to actually do anything!  I have had the best intentions...I bought plain t-shirts to applique for Emily and a friend, and I have a few baby gifts ready to make for someone who is expecting, but time has been slipping away from me.  I've decided to just give up for now with trying to get them done before the big move and have packed it all away in a few boxes.  It's a bummer since I really wanted to finish these few things, but something has to give when life gets crazy and it's usually the hobbies right! 

In the meantime, I have been getting excited for the new house and decorating Emily's new room.  I have many fun ideas and they keep expanding in my head.  I have found a few great Etsy shops with children's art that I love and want to share: petitcollage, ApplwoodKnoll, amberalexander, and papersparrow.  All of these creative ladies make some beautiful and whimsical pieces that are unique. 

I also wanted to share a new crafty site that I have found is about ready to launch.  It looks like it will be a nice place to find and share projects.  Check it out if you are interested!  Craftsy!

Happy Mother's Day!

The day I became a Mommy to Ms. Emily Ann

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!  I hope you have a great and relaxing day however you choose to spend it!  I got to sleep in and then enjoyed a lovely pancake breakfast cooked up by my wonderful hubby!  Emily helped me open my cards too!  I already enjoyed a week full of shopping for Mom!  But gifts aside, it has been a beautiful warm, sunny weekend and I plan to relax and enjoy this sunny Mother's Day!  Enjoy yours!
