I sit here, 29 weeks and 6 days pregnant.. Almost 30 weeks.. just about 8 weeks (give or take a few days) to go until we meet our new little girl!!(unless she comes early, which at this point is possible) Albert and I, as well as the rest of our family are anticipating our new arrival.. We can not wait. I will say time has really flown by! It seems like just a few days ago, I found out we were exp...

I know, Halloween has come and gone, but seriously, have you checked out our new Halloween collection? It has got to be one of the funnest and it definitely has THE cutest ghosts I've ever seen! So, I was thinking about how cute these little guys would be for other projects and I whipped out a few very easy and quick cards that anyone can make! I made a belated birthday card and an all-occasi...

So I went to a 12:01 AM showing of New Moon with my aunt, cousins, and one of their friends. I have to say that I did like it MUCH better then Twilight. As I was Driving to the movie theatre I received a BBM from my SIL (Brother's wife) that she wanted to go to (I had put it on FB that I was getting tickets but she did not see it in time). I SOOOO would have picked her up if I was even remotel...

We didn't get much sleep last night. My son woke us up at 3am this morning. He had a congestion, poor thing. He still has it, but he is feeling a little better. This doesn't happen very often, and I'm very greatfull for that. He is a very healthy boy. I don't even remember last time he was sick. I mean, he has never been really sick, only a little runny nose, a little cold... that's it. I cannot c...

Hi All! Yes, I'm still alive! But work, school, the kids, the hubby and so many activities are keeping me super occupied. I have been Scrapbooking, so hopefully I"ll upload pix soon! Hope everyone is doing well!

Yes I finally came up with my Thanksgiving card, only took a month to decide what to do. Has that ever happend to any. My brain was just out to lunch I gess. But now I just got to get 28 maid and in the mail. Have a good night all.

If only I could find the time to get my favorite things done. I've made a great start! My new thinking on this matter is if I can just check of 1 little thing on my list of big things, eventually, they will get done, right? Oh well, I'm just gonna have to live with it.

IDEA: Have three versions of All Dolled Up Eid spread. In it, there are pictures of the baby in her Eid dress (the pink one), with Prima pink swirls, the mash'Allah charm, Eid mubarak stickers, prayer beads, and Prima flowers. All dolled up is written in girly-fancy calligraphy. One version goes in the scrap book, one goes to Mami to cheer her up, the third becomes a shadow box/memory box with th...

Tonight's Menu: A good healthy, hearty homemade Vegetable Beef Soup stocked up with lots of natures goodness: celery, carrots, green beans, peas, corn, potatoes, lima beans, diced tomatoes and some crescents (or dipping rolls as I sometimes call them). I found the most beautiful pears at the market and for dessert we'll enjoy those! Bon appetite, friends!

You remember that guest blog entry that was suppose to be on Creating Keepsakes last Friday? Well, long story short, I won't be guest blogging over there for a week or two now. This means that my Thanksgiving centerpiece idea I video taped will no longer apply. So, I thought I would share it with you here. I have to say, I am no Lindsay Moore. I am a bit less ADD and a bit more.... well...... Juli...

I am so glad I found this sight. I call it my happy place. There are so many talented people that share the same love for scrapbooking.
