The picture above is of our new little Miracle, Natalia Rose, on March 06, 2010 ...This was one of many poses from the portrait shoot today, and one of my favorites... She is just perfect!!

Hi!! My name is Amanda, but everyone calls me Mandi.  I am a Proud 28 year old mommy to 5 (yes, 5!!) beautiful perfect children(who are my inspirations in life & scrapbooking) and wife to the most wonderful man, my best friend & soul mate, Albert!  Albert and I have been together for almost 7 years (since May 10, 2003) and we just celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary November 3, 2009!

I have 2 beautiful daughters from a previous marriage named Leandra and Ilanna. Leandra is 11, Ilanna is 9. They both live in New York with their father, but we do have a wonderful relationship. Even though Albert is not their biological father, he loves them as if they were his own and would do anything for them.

Together Albert and I have 3 beautiful perfect miracles.  After having 3 miscarriages from 2004-2005 & dealing with some ongoing medical issues we were told that we would not be able to have children together. In July of 2006 we were blessed with Jessa-Maria, and then 1 year later we were blessed with AJ.  *Update* It is with great happiness and joy that I can announce we have finally added miracle baby number 3 to our family!!! At 7:26 pm, on January 18, 2010 our little girl, Natalia Rose entered the world! Natalia weighed 7lbs 2oz and is 20 inches long!! She is absolutely beautiful & perfect! Albert and I never gave up on something we both wanted so badly together. Jessa and A.J & Natalia are  true miracles, real products of true love and determination!!! We have been truly blessed!!

 

I'm a full time mommy, a wife, part time student (currently taking some time off) and I do work from home on the internet, as well as the occasionally order scrapbook order and do my own scrapbooking, it is very relaxing and therapy when needed!!

I started scrapbooking in 2003, with the very first rose my DH gave me, and then movie tickets, pictures and memorabilia from our very first trip together. In 2006 once Jessa was born my hobby blew up and now has become my favorite hobby/addiction!! LOL

I joined scrapbook.com in January 2007 and I absolutely love it!! I am hooked! It is my home away from home. I have developed so many wonderful friendships by joining scrapbook.com and am so inspired by all the lovely people here!
