Hello Everyone,
It's been a rough few days. On Friday I had to go to the ER...I was having breathing problems and kept having episodic hyperventilation. Luckily they didn't find anything wrong with my heart or the blood tests, but since then I've been having to spend all day on the couch. Every time I get up I struggle with breathing. Luckily Christian and my family have been helpful and understanding. I'm lucky to have them! Tomorrow I go to the doctor...I'll keep you updated. Hope all is well...

Yard Sale!



Cute pics from our yard sale last weekend. Maia stuffed cherries in her mouth and held them in her cheeks like a little chipmunk. I realized I should have taken more pics...it was such a beautiful day. We had doughnuts and cherries for breakfast and tried to manage the herds of yard-salers tromping through the yard. It seems like they all came within a one hour span. I sold my scale that I found last year at an estate sale... :(. It made me sad to see it go, but we have so much stuff crammed into our house some of it had to go.
Check out the box of stuff I have for the Paper Pals yard sale this weekend (8-12)! Hope to see you there!

Wedding Bells...

Our florist, Sweet Peas and Sage...I hope she can get peonies in!

The Churchyard Inn, Uniontown

Paper Pals wedding invites!

Cowgirl Chocolate wedding favors...mmm!

Wine from Camas Prairie...

Sorry it's been so long...
We're ALMOST done planning the wedding. We're trying to support local vendors with our business, and so far, I'm really happy with everything! Going local is always a good opportunity to support small community businesses and get personalized service.

I'm really looking forward to the day of, but I'll be happy when the wedding planning is finished. It's a lot of work! More to come soon...:)

Little Creations



Spent today scrapping and doing many little things. I think I may slowly but surely be getting better at designing 12 x 12 pages ...either way, I actually like the way this layout came out! However, the notecards are my favorite. Tiny clusters of flowers and ribbon...what could be better? :) These papers are from the Making Memories "Noteworthy" collection available at Paper Pals. Further details at Paper Pals Design Team website!

Planting Day!







We've been at it all day! 80-some degrees and perfect weather for planting up all of my pots. TT came over bright and early this morning, and I kept Maia home so we could spend some quality time together. We went out to breakfast, played on the equipment downtown and came home to plant up the three flats of annuals I got at Crossroads. They turned out great! I think altogether we finished eight different planters. Though it didn't help my sunburn, it was a fantastically relaxing day.

Just finished this collage of Maia's second trip to Seattle. I found this jumbo 16-piece puzzle at the thrift store and it worked great for all of these cute pics of Maia in her pink coat! All I need to do is mount it on foamcore and frame it! It was time consuming, but definitely worth it... check out the Paper Pals Design Team website for details on its creation!

It has been a busy busy week. Lots of little miscellaneous happenings piled in a heap. Finally got this Wendy Addison "M" at the nursery for Maia's door. I've been wanting it forever and you can't beat 50% off! Leftover Christmas makes for limited selection but good bargains. Since I haven't gotten to do much crafting since last week, this little sparkly makes me feel better.

Flowers are finally blooming in the backyard. It is our first spring here so strange plants keep popping up all over. I love it! It keeps me in suspense...

Hope everyone's week is going well. :)
