Kindergarten Valentines

Using this picture via Pinterest as inspiration, Goose and I created these Valentines for her Kindergarten class.  We traced her hand to make a template and cut them out.  She wrote all the names of her class mates by hand.  When we finished, we taped a sucker to the back.  I'm so happy with the way they turned out!

(Note: I'm not going to give a formal "HELLO! I'M BACK" post.  I really don't want to jinx my progress.  I'm just going to post when I feel like and see how it goes.)


(PPS: I'm on Pinterest. I'm on Pinterest a lot.)

Valentine's Day Photoshoot

Happy Sy. Valentine's Day!

Styled by: Goose

Photographed by: KelsyC

My girl dressed herself for this little photoshoot.

Well, actually, she was dressed this way already.

The sun was shining so we decided to go to the park.

It was a perfect day to take some photos.

So, we stopped and picked up a pink heart balloon.

It was cold and windy but we ma naged to capture some great moments. 

See that last picture? I love her silly face so much!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Today I am thankful for the things I love:

My Husband.

Goose.

Art.

Being Creative.

My mom and sisters.

My dad.

Everyone in my "extended" family.

All of the family I have lost touch with... I miss you!

I think love means not asking the ones you love to do something they don't want to do.

I also think that loves means doing the things you don't want to do for someone you love.

And I know how most men hate Valentine's Day.

So...

I didn't ask for anything.

Not even a card.

Okay, I did ask for breakfast in bed, but apparently Goose wanted to give that to me anyway. I didn't need to ask.

My husband does so much for me, and for that I am thankful.  

I got him a whole bag of goodies...

He's the cook, so I got him some garlic rubs, maridades, EVOO, and some mustard.  

Some chocolates too.  

He loved it.

I couldn't even wait till midnight to give it to him.

I was so excited to see him smile.

And I can't wait for Goose to open her gifts... I may have gone a little over board. 

I just want my family to know how much they mean to me.  

I know I don't have to buy them things to show them...

I don't think I will be getting anything, but thats really okay with me.

I'm happy with the smiles from my family!

I even sent Valentines', in the mail, to my family.

More smiles! Oh, happy mail!

I love you all!

Thanks to my loyal readers!

PS - Thank you to all who have given me input on your religious beliefs.  It's so nice to hear different points of view.  Please keep them coming! I want to learn SO MUCH more!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

For your viewing pleasure... here are some pictures of the very first scrapbook I ever made.  I was into card making before that, but this is the project that really hooked me on scrapping.  

And why am I sharing this blast from the past with you all now?

Well, folks, I made this scrapbook for Hubs (before he was Hubs and he was just boyfriend) for Valentine's Day in 2005.  In July of that year, we found out we were pregnant and in December we were married.

This book is the story of our High School love affair.  Pictures from our first date... school dances... the first camping trip we ever took... our first dog (Molly, who is still with our family)

Enjoy!
