Cricut Fun...

I finally got the chance to sit down this weekend and download my Sure Cuts A Lot program on my computer! I wanted to play around with my Cricut Expression and see what this baby can really do! I have heard amazing things and was told it would be the answer to all of my creative thoughts... maybe now I can sleep at night!

I wanted to start with something very simple and quick. As you all know we are doing a Mickey theme for Carter's birthday so I wanted to play with the Mickey font I downloaded.  With that font and basic shapes I made Carter a name tag for his door. This took me all of about 5 minutes!

I can't wait to start working on his invitations now...

Gift Basket for Amy's Baby Shower

I wanted to do something crafty tonight and I have a baby shower to go to tomorrow. My Best Friend is having her second baby very soon. Kyle and I couldn't be more excited!

Here is a picture of my supplies that I started with:

Then everything designed in basket, including bib roses, onsie roses, massager, candles, and candies!!

 Finished product in shrink wrap!

Hope she loves it! 

Hubby's Birthday is tomorrow!!!

Sitting here planning Carter's first birthday thinking about the last 10 months and all the fun we have had with the family.  I have so much to do... invitations, favors, banners, etc. Of course I will share.

Hubby's birthday is tomorrow - I have a special day planned for him. Can't wait to make him a special breakfast in the morning before he goes to work... yes work on a Saturday and his birthday - I will share pictures tomorrow! 

I wanted to share this beautiful picture of my son when he was six months old hanging out at his cousin Cohen's house! That was such a great day.

Carter: Walking, Talking, Teeth and 1st BIRTHDAY

My little guy never stops amazing me! He is 10 months old and is walking quite well! It is really so neat watching a little person learn new things so fast. I never knew I would enjoy being a mother so much! Everyday that I am at work I just can't wait to get home to him! 

Here he is walking, dancing and talking all at the same time!

This past weekend he learned to say "Hello" it sounds more like "Ha-whoa" but it counts! He also says "Uh oh" when he has dropped something.

We saw last night that he is getting his third tooth too! He hasn't even been complaining. He is so good!

Kyle and I have started compiling our list of people to invite to Carter's 1st birthday - WHOA, there are a lot of people that love our little man! Gotta get these invites together!

We will be doing a Mickey Mouse theme - so family and friends - get the date of April 23rd on your calendar. (yes, that is the day before Easter... booo)

Get 'em while they're hot!!

How exciting it is to start a blog!

I have decided to start a blog! The hardest part was deciding on a name!

I have so many creative ideas, just not enough time. I am hoping that starting this blog will inspire me to make more time for my hobbies!  I am very excited about this as I love sharing my different ideas.

I love baking, especially cupcakes, and LOVE decorating and organizing.  I want to document different things I accomplish and share them with you.  I am also hoping to share family moments and photo's of all the fun things we do.

My hubby's hobby is his car! He loves his 1958 Volkswagen Bug. We do a few events each year and will post those here as well! We have so much fun with this little car!

Kyle and I were married in September in 2008, bought a home in California and welcomed our first little guy in April 2010. I want to share all the good times our little family has!

Welcome to my blog, hope to keep up with posting!
