Yay, I'm posting again

Ok, by now, you all probably think my blog totally sucks. Well, somedays, it is true, that I just don't feel like posting. I have to get away from that though. However, other days, I'm busy around the house, at least trying to keep it clean...(mom, you may insert laugh here).

Anyway, I really haven't posted because I really don't have any new projects to share with you at this exact moment. I do need to take a few pictures of certain things, like the car seat we wanted that we found at Big Lots for $80 compared to $160 @ Wal-mart. Yeah, kind of been meaning to take pictures of it so I could post the story here and in the baby's book. Haven't done it yet. Call me a slacker.

As for new LO's well, I haven't been working on our honeymoon since the past week. Why? I've been working on some super, secret projects! My lips are sealed!

So, I'd thought I'd try to find something to post for you anyway. A picture or two. It may not have anything related to what I'm blabbering on about, but I'll at least post them.

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think I have posted this LO. This was the very first honeymoon layout I did. I was in a creative rut, and told my hubby to go in the scraproom, pick out some paper and embellishments, in hopes that would jump start my creativity. At first he picked out some Christmas embellies, and I thought OooooooooooKKKKaaaayyyyy! So I asked him if he really wanted me to use the Christmas ones on our honeymoon LO's. So he told me to pick the embellishments. It was definitely a challenge, and I think I used just about everything in my stash! It's not the greatest, but it was a starting place, and that's what I needed. So, without further ado, here was my first honeymoon LO.





And to leave you with some humor....


Yes, that's my husband, "walking the cat." That is our cat Solomon! We intended for both our kitties to be inside kitties, and had them both de-clawed. That does come in handy when you rent! And since the weather has been warming up, and I feel cooped up sometimes, I'm sure they must feel the same. So we bought leashes for their collars, and took him outside! He loves it! But he knows he can't go outside without his harness now. (We had some problems with the breakaway collars, so we bought a cat harness). It's amazing what this cat will do to get outside now! Sounds like a scrapbook page to me....

oi!

So, I spent two, yes, two hours at the vets office this morning with this little guy...


yes, he's not so little anymore! He'll be a year in July, and he already weighs in @ 9lbs 10oz. Craziness. But, he will be ok with the meds. Good thing, because this little guy is very much loved! He's not very photo-genic though.

On other notes, who knew there was a difference between just feeling the baby move and the baby actually kicking! I didn't until the other night! Of course, this is only my first pregnancy! After DH left for work at 3:40am, I stretched out in the bed, and out of habit laid my hand on my belly. Lo and behold, I felt the baby kick my hand! The baby had never done that before! Wow! What an absolutely amazing feeling! I never want it to stop--at least right now. I might change my mind when I'm 8 months along and the baby stretches so much that it's foot will come through my belly button. Ah, the joys of mommy-dom.

Speaking of baby, here is the stuff my sister surprised me with the other day...



Isn't this little guy just too stinkin' adorable?! Eventually, they will be printed and scrapbooked for the baby's album. This is his/hers first stuffed animal! I just love him!

And here I am, at 21 weeks: (Brace yourself!) This is the first, (yes, first) picture of me being pregnant! I have no photos of being 3 months pregnant for the baby. Hubby said though I could just sit on the floor and bend over the toilet, as that's what I did for the first three months!




Ok, enough baby for now. I have promised you some more lo's and ta-da...here are some more. Again, most of these are from our honeymoon!


This was at the Massanutten Resort Water Park! Even if I don't look like a supermodel in a bathing suit (and probably never will) I love swimming and the water!



This is from Brookside Gardens, in Wheaton, MD. This was our first stop on our honeymoon. I wanted to use these pictures together, because they were all part of the Teahouse, but they just were not working. Then one day, I went to a fun scrapbook easter egg hunt, and bought these papers, and it was a miracle! It came together lickety-split. It's amazing what the right paper will do! It was also hard because the main focal photo is black and white and the rest are colored.




This too was from Brookside Gardens. It was a really neat Botanical Garden setting! Just totally awesome. And it's not far from where my in-laws live, so I'm hoping when the weather warms up, we can visit again! Nothing like seeing God's handi-work in action!

I am running out of lo's to post! I guess this means I better start scrapping! Hop to, chop chop!

Happy Scrappin ya'll!
