My Photoshop Solution

Anyone who knows me knows that I am pretty obsessive about my various calendars and planners. I have always had trouble finding one that's cute BUT effective. Therefore, creating  my own just seemed like the solution. I'm happy with the way these turned out, I may have to make a few adjustments for it to be used for all the stuff I keep up with, but it's a starting point.

(I plan on binding and using after my current one expires.)

February till Now (part 1)

I am so behind on posting ANYTHING. I guess I will start with the last holiday, Valentines. My Valentines Day really did deserve some recognition, but I have been so busy with odds-and-ends sort of things, that I never really got around to mentioning.  This was my Surprise Valentines gift & where she lives....on my desk in my bedroom.


Jonathan and Jaxon did pretty good wouldn't you say? I LOVE my new purple cricut! Not only did I get this, but I came home to a clean house & a homemade card (from the two of them), it was certainly something to brag about.

And here's some goodies we sent off for Broox's classroom Valentine's party.
 (Forgive me for not remembering to photography BEFORE we wrapped the entire thing in cellophane.)


CONSIGNMENT...
 this is the number 1 reason that it has taken me this long to blog about anything - (p.s. thank you Stephanie for letting me use your tagging gun, or it would have been a nightmare for my fingers - like last year.)
 This was an interesting ride to say the least, NEXT time if I have a big item, it won't be riding in my car.  Poor Jaxon couldn't even get in the car through any of the passenger doors. I ended up having to squeeze him from the driver's seat into the back. 

But... It was worth the 30+ outfits and 4 pairs of shoes I bought to get him started for the Spring.

I've been unplugged

Well, I have been meaning to get around to loading pictures and blogging about all sorts of fun things we've been doing around the house but somehow I haven't been able to sit down for a solid few minutes and get any of it done. I figure this is step one. And although I am extremely behind, and should probably start with oldest stuff first...I'm not. I thought I would share this adorable project I had Jaxon do this morning.  With us getting ready for gardening, and with having SPRING on the brain, I thought this would be more appropriate.
 (I bought our kit at The Home Depot, but I believe you can find these about anywhere. They also come in a few different themes.)
