Dear Santa,
This would look so good under my tree!

Papers and embellies are Cosmo Cricket.

Even happier mail!

Today I received the happiest mail ever!

You can find my tiny contribution on page 118.

I’ve never been published in a major magazine before (except for my reader’s letter in Cosmopolitan, but they changed my name to protect the innocent…booh!). Don’t get me wrong, I don’t scrapbook for fame and fortune. I do it for a variety of purely personal reasons, but mostly because it’s fun, it makes me happy.

But what’s the point on making art if nobody can see it, right? So every now and then I submit to a magazine or two. Just to see what happens. Just for fun.

Well it was beyond my expectations! I am so happy right now!

Thank you so much Canadian Scrapbooker! You like me, you really like me!

Happy Mail

Today I received a HUGE box of Nikki Sivils’ goodies. I won her Halloween giveaway and here’s what she sent me!

*happy dance*

Thank you SO much Nikki! I just adore her products and can’t wait to start playing!

Rainy days

When I'm tempted to buy something frivolous I usually ask myself "Do I really need this?". But when it comes to the kid, the answer is easy..."Yes, of course he needs it!". I suppose it makes you feel like a good parent to fill his closet with unnecessary but oh-so-cute outfits right?

And like my heroine Becky Bloomwood would say..."It's an investment!"

On a crafty note, things have been slow. I only managed one page this week, but I have a few on the works for the upcoming weekend!

Papers are My Mind's Eye and the sketch is by the fabulous Julie Bonner.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Two layouts this week

Hello and happy Friday evening!

I managed to create two layouts this week, in spite of being all sickly...but I won't bore you with that ;)

I really need to pay more attention to Crate Paper...their products are so much fun! (The layout is based on a sketch by Sketchy Thursdays)

And some Basic Grey of course. I wasn't sure about Origins at first...so I ordered just a few papers and stickers. But I have to admit I'm really impressed with the results! (Sketch #92 by Valerie Salmon)

Have a fantastic weekend!

Weekend plans

To play with my new scrapbook goodies...

To enjoy some home made fresh from the oven croissants...

To design some new decor for the house with this beautiful inspiration I found online...

To sleep...

What are your plans?

Some layouts to share

I am so behind in my scrapbook! Same ole excuse...crazy busy + lack of mojo! But I managed to create three layouts this week and I wanted to share them with you!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Second week

I suppose I should start by saying I broke one of my New Year's resolutions...I didn't blog every day! Actually I broke quite a few resolutions, but you don't wanna know that...lol

On a brighter note...I got my beloved scanner back so...I have a huge post to share with you today!

Super productive as you can see! I promise I will post more often! (And I will drink more water in case you do want to know that lol)

Have a fantastic weekend!

First week

Things are slowly returning to normal (slowly being the key word, hrmph). It was a good week. We had a scrumptious New Year's dinner...

We learned how to get dressed properly...

And my dream come true...a kitchen helper!

How was your week?

Day 001

This is a small peek at our day 001 of the new year. Relaxing at home in our PJs, good food, and movies. Obviously HRH enjoyed it the most being that he didn't have to cook or change diapers...

Happy New Year!
