Fun in my Srapping Room

Hi everyone.....

I was finally able to spend a few moments in my 'room' today.....YEAH! My moments in there have been rare these days- as I travel TONS for my job and when I am home- I am either studying for a big promotion test (I test 6 Feb--- send me POSITIVE vibes that day... PLEASE) or simply being a mom, wife, maid, chef, and etc.......you all know how that is...!

Anyway.....I made this card from my Bella stash... I love these girls and wish I had them all..but as my children need shoes and clothes :-) I refrain from emptying the store! So....I only have a few, this is the winebella. I thought she would make a great Birthday card for my girls who also have a wine passion with me!

I was also able to finish one 12x12 page. This is our annual family photo which we included in our Holiday cards this year. I can not believe how big my boys are getting. Aaron is now 16 and itching to get his drivers license. As soon as he gets his blood sugar under control- the doctor will sign the permission slip! Stay off the road after that!! LOL!! Nathan will be 7 in May and just lost 3 of his front teeth within days of each other. Poor guy- they were so loose, but he was terrified of having a smile without them. Now he tells me that the girls in his class say his smile is 'icky'. I remind him that its okay- permanent teeth are already there so in another month, they will love him again. Oh to be 6 again!


This might be the last few things I get to post until after the 6th of Feb. I really have to close the door to my room- otherwise the draw will keep me from getting that studying done. DH reminds me that I MUST buckle down and get this test over before I plunge into paper madness.....he just doesn't understand the pull. Its like a trance almost......so....ladies...I will be here and will post, but nothing creative until the test is over....wish me luck!!!

Hey Vanna- My son is 16 too and getting his drivers training as well. He's also a diabetic (since age 3)It sure is nerve wracking isn't it- we should start a worrying moms support group!!!

I wish you good vibes and much luck on your test in February. This card is great and I know how you feel about this being put on the backburner due to working etc. I too have that problem when I wish I could just create all the time. However, we are blessed in that we have a job. So many don't. Did I tell you that the card is just wonderful!
