OH MY SICKNESS...

So my big plans for starting off 2011 with a bang got sidetracked! MY boys and I have been fighting ear infections, sinus infections, and colds since Thanksgiving!! I'm happy to report we are starting to feel better, and I am ready to get blogging :) Here's my first video- a tour of my scraproom, hope you enjoy and feel free to message me with any questions you might have! Sorry that it's so shaky- will try again once I get my tripod!

Holiday Happenings

Okay so I have FINALLY gotten back into my blog, so sorry! It's been a crazy few months with the boys transitioning to school and therapy. All is going well now and everyone is healthy in time for the holiday season. My new year's resolution is to get this blog up and taking off! I am working on lots of fun holiday projects and am trying to figure out how to video, so look for project videos coming hopefully soon! Have a very Happy Holiday season :)
