Digital Scrapbooking

Can I just say... I don't think I will ever do regular scrapbooking again!

I always had trouble wanting to get all my scrapbooking stuff out, knowing the mess I would make and have to clean back up before the next meal. So, needless to say, I am way behind.

I won't have to stock up on special paper, glue dots, coordinating stickers, rub-ons, or make sure I have all the right photos developed, blah blah blah... Now, I can sit with my laptop and make a page or three, with no mess for me to clean up or my girls to get into. It's the greatest thing!

shabbyprincess.com has a lot of great digital kits that are free! pureprintdesigns.com print your 12X12 pages for $2.25. I use photoshop to put it all together. It's so easy!

It's our 7th Anniversary on Jan 18th

It's gone by so fast, it's already been seven years. We had a wonderful wedding, surrounded by all the people we love. The honeymoon wasn't bad either... A week long cruise in the Western Carribean. I love you Dennis!

Sundance Trip

Me and Jacob

Marne and Jacob

My Sister Marne, my nephew Jacob and I decided to go skiing at Sundance for New Years Day. Marne and Jacob had never skied before. I have been skiing off and on since I was about 10 years old. We all had a good time. Both Marne and Jake can't wait to go again.

How to get a Family Christmas Photo!?

First, add kids. You can't go wrong!

Love 'em up, and get them ready to look oh so happy for the Picture!

Set up the tripod and turn on the timer. Then get a few 'practice' photos...

Then, try not to fall off the Chair before the timer goes off

(caught Dennis on film).

Lastly, quickly use photoshop, and get them in the mail on December 24th.

First little snow of the season

On November 7th we got just enough to snow to play a little and make a snowman. So, while Holly napped, Ivy and got out our new winter clothes and hurried outside! Going outside to play was actually Ivy's idea. We threw the snow, made snow balls, looked at our tracks, walked around the yard and even made Ivy's first snow angel and first snowman. She loved it! For the snowman we used what was left over fom summer for his features. Green Tomatoes for his eyes, an old bottle of bubbles for his nose, a spraypaint can lid for his hat and the last of the grape tomates for his mouth. We had lots of fun. Now we are ready for a little more snow!

Ivy loves to read and likes me to help her write so I wrote the names she asked for in the snow.

Our Happy Halloween

My sweet little 'Dorothy'

Holly loves her Kitty, but the cat just didn't cooperate much.


My little Princesses

Fixn' shoes

The girls and I dressed up for Halloween. Ivy was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Holly was a princess ( I lost her Tiara , Darn it) , and I was a Witch (at the last minute). We had lots of fun, after Dad took these photos we went to Aunt Marne's House and Trick or Treated in her neighborhood. The girls really got the hang of this getting candy stuff. What FUN!

Holly's 1st Birthday Photos (June '08)

A friend of mine shot these photos for us. I thought they turned out so cute, I had to post them. Holly was an easy subject. We just put her in a Tu-Tu and let her have fun.
