My Hero

We took the boys to a Children's Musuem and this was their favorite part. Mason loved being a firefighter and Trent was a cop. These papers from 3 Bugs in a Rug are perfect for these pictures! I also used  sketch #178 from Scrapbook Challenges.

Valentine's Giveaway!

Okay so the giveaway is not from me but from Kristina Yang, owner of Key2Life on Etsy. She is the one who made the adorable apron's for my boys. She started a blog and If you leave a comment & follow her you have a chance to win a ADORABLE valentine's apron for yourself & a matching one for your child. Trust me it is worth checking out...so so cute, and the quality of her work is amazing!

Keys2Life Blog!

Woohoo....I have some exciting news!

I am so excited to announce that I am now a Twisted Sister! (I Personally thought it was my other sister who was twisted...lol....anyways) I made it onto the design team over at Twisted Sketches Sketch Blog.

I am so excited to get inspired by these awesome sketch's and the new design team. They are all super talented!  Please go check it out and join us!

Oh yeah this was my entry. This is my adorable niece Michelle!

Cutest Cookie

I bought up a old kit over at Color Me Daisy. 

I knew when I seen these paper's from Cosmo Cricket they would be perfect for these pictures. I just had to keep telling myself not to use up all the good stuff because this layout is for my 4yr old and I still plan on making a layout for the other 2.

You can click to enlarge it so you can see all the details....or maybe you shouldn't, lol, my sewing is terrible, but I am blaming it on my crazy machine, that only has one turbo speed with no foot pedals!

Do ya ever notice.....

that when the kids get older the less picture of them you take. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's because this one is my brother not my own son. But I find I rarely have that many great pictures....or maybe its because he's always grounded...lol...and this day he actually got to play with friends so I got a real smile, not the forced fake ones he always give. Oh isn't life funny!

Anyways I had fun playing with some bright colors again!

Blake's Keepsake Box.

Thank you so much everyone who has & is going to send  cards. I think I will now have enough, and I will make any more that I think she might like...weddings & such. You all were so gracious, & I feel totally blessed by you. I hope she will to when she gets them.

Anyways, I decided to make keepsake boxes for the kids to keep their letters & other memories in. Now I think I will be making one for all the kids! I had fun with my Cricut. I thought it turned out pretty cute! I haven't done the girls one yet...which will probably be harder for me! lol

Blog Hop

There are some great prizes to won on My Scrapbook Nook's Blog Hop! It's worth playing along!

Cookie Cutter Kids

First I wanted to thank everyone for all the amazing responses I got from you saying you will send cards for my sil. I still need about 10 more so If you are interested in helping please email me.....If you have no clue what I'm talking about, scroll down to previous posts.

I just had to share my favorite Christmas present that we gave the boys! It is these adorable aprons that Kristina made. Here is her shop on Etsy. Her little girl models them so adorably I couldn't resist. She even made a special order for my oldest. Can't wait to Scrapbook these!

Rak Winner

Just wanted to let everyone know that I drew a winner for the stamps rak and it was LG. Thanks everyone for playing along!

Can you help me....please!

Okay , I would love some help.....I know how thoughtful & generous scrappers are....so I thought maybe it wouldn't be to much to ask. :)

This picture is of my sister-in-law and her children. She is dying of cancer. It may only be weeks, so I am of course doing things last minute as always. But what  I am asking from you is....Could you please make 1 Birthday card for a girl or boy or make it unisex and mail it to me. I would like to collect enough card's so that she can write in them and we can give them to the kids on each bday until they are 18. I need 32 cards. Even buying at the dollar store can get expensive. I dread the thought of making that many myself! So I am asking If you would be willing to make just 1, please. A handmade card is so much more special. If you are willing to do this please email me (StarRork@mchsi.com) and I will give you my address.

You have no idea how much this would mean to her and to me....and to her children!...ok gonna stop now b4 I start crying!
Thanks a million!
Love, Star

P.S. I will do a drawing for a rak for everyone who has helped me...just not sure what it's gonna be yet!
