SBS Group 7

Thank you to my dear friend Ellie I have joined the SBS Group 7. I am so excited to join this group. I look forward to meeting new people and learning new techniques. I enjoy scrapbooking, cardmaking, rubberstamping, and photography. You can never have enough pictures. My new love is my baby bug (cricut machine). I have one son who is named Dylan and he lives in heaven, he past away at 3 months old to SIDS. We currently have no 2 legged children (hope to be blessed again one day) but we currently have a furbaby, our dog Buddy. Buddy keeps us a lot of company. Only complaint about Buddy is he isn't to fond of the camera, when the camera turns on he grunts and runs. I look forward to seeing everyone's creations and I'm delighted to be part of your group.

Hmmm...what is that.....

Its snowing here in upstate NY. I called Jeff from work today to tell him I was leaving early because of the weather he said how Buddy wanted to go outside and play. I told Jeff the rules are no playing unless I am there to take pictures. I got home quickly changed and off to play we went. This year Buddy LOVES the snow. Here are my 2 favorites so far, there's lots of snow out there and still coming down which equals many more pictures.

The first picture I love the look on his face. He is looking at the snow as if he's trying to figure out just what it could be.

This picture shows he has figured it out and now he wants to play. It was so cute he kept hiding his head in the snow and then would quickly jump back up with snow all over him. I just hope he does DON'T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW!

Handmade Stamped Candles - My new Love

On the Split Coast Stampers website they have a tutorial on how to stamp on candles. They are so quick and easy to make. They make great christmas gifts. I am addicted to making these. For the stitch candle (below) I took clipart of the internet and printed it onto the tissue paper.
The stitch candle was suppose to be a christmas gift for Jeff but I gave it to him already I couldn't wait. He loved it!

Help Celebrate Dylan's Angel Anniversary

On Dec. 6, 2007 please help us remember Dylan by posting a comment below. Dylan was born Oct.26, 2004 and passed away to SIDS Dec. 6,2004. It is hard to believe he passed away 3 years ago, it seems like only yesterday. For the longest time when Dec. 6 approached we would say today is then a long pause then in a quiet voice say the day Dylan passed away. Not that long ago I met Ellie (an online friend) who also lost her daughter to SIDS called it Angel Anniversary and I love the sound of that and it flows off the lips easier. Thank you Ellie!

Just wanted to share a funny story about Dylan with everyone. We took Dylan to the dr. for his first checkup, now remind you Jeff and I are first time parents. I took a diaper, bottle and a blaket for Dylan. That was it, we were only going to the dr. down the road. We go in to see the dr. and he wants to weigh Dylan. Easy enough, NoT! On the cold scale he goes, that was it he peaed everywhere. The poor boy was soaked. Jeff and I were like oh no! The dr says there's nothing to worry about not a big deal just change him. I have to explain to the dr. I don't have a change of clothes with him. The dr. laughs and says let this be a lesson, you ALWAYS bring a change of clothes. After that day the diaper was like a suitcase. LOL!

Please take a moment at of your busy days to hug your children/grandchildren and tell them that you love them or if they don't live with you pick up the phone and call them.

Scrapbook Pages

This is from when Jeff, my sister and I made a day trip to Massachuets 2 years ago to go to Magic Wings (a butterfly museum, if your ever in that area its a great place to visit the butterflies are so pretty) aftewards we did some shopping at the Yankee Candle Outlet. Just love their Candles. I am pleased with the way these pages turned out!

Desk Calender

This is a desk calender that I made for a christmas for christmas. I like the way it turned out I want to keep but I guess I will be a good daughter and just make myself one. I used the cricut DoodleCharms cart, thanks to Jeff it was an early Christmas gift. For the squares I used the cricut George Cart and I had the template for the calender from a site I downloaded (if you need the site please comment below with your email address and I will send it to you). I put the calender pieces in a small aryalic (3x5) frame that you can get for $1 and change in walmart. I nice and inexpensive gift idea. For the month of February the doodlecharms cart doesn't have a kite so I used the George cart cut 2 squares and tilted the one and then cut the other in a shape of a triangle and glued them together to look like a kite and added ribbon, I think it looks like a kite.

Happy Holidays!
