My Latest Projects

I am finding that I am a much happier person when I have a project to work on. Here are a couple of my latest ones:


After many months and many, many, MANY hours, I finally finished turning my blog into a book and I am very pleased with how it turned out. It took a lot of time, but it was well worth it. It has already started becoming one of my most prized posessions b/c it is the closest thing I have to a journal. Brayden loves looking through it. It ended up being 166 pages that I created through blurb.com. I highly suggest this website as our book turned out beautifully. Hopefully blurb.com is around forever b/c I plan on doing one of these each year.

For those who don't know, I started doing these letters 2 1/2 years ago for baby's nurseries. It has kinda become my "thing" to do and I love making them. My friend from high school, Becky, is due in a couple of weeks with a boy. I've never done one like this before using the little letters. Most of the ones I've done are like the next picture. I was excited to try this new way and I thought it turned out pretty cute. I happen to have this sport scrapbook paper that matched her baby bedding almost perfectly. I'm hoping the colors look good next to each other.

My sister Celeste's best friend is due with a boy next month. She was hoping to learn how to do these, but since she lives in Arizona she never had time to learn while she was visiting. So I was happy to make them for her to give to her friend. I also posted a picture of the baby bedding. Hopefully the colors match when they are next to each other. (You pronounce his name Rike-o, like Like-o.)

I am the same way with projects. I really need to get one. I am not one for reading, but yesterday I bought a book!! I hate the TV so I need to figure out what I can use my time with. I need to finish Avery's baby book, but it's down in our basement and it's cold!! How are things going otherwise???

Way cute projects--I love Parker with the bigger P. I need you to teach me how to format pictures on a blog. I can never format my pictures--they just end up wherever. Hope you guys are well! Amy
