Scrappy Lily

Well I'm back!!
I have begun selling scrapbooking supplies with Close to My Heart. I am going to use this blog as part of my sales campaign. I'm very excited to start this venture, I want to use the profits to pay for a Christmas vacation. So let's get started.
This is my first card, i used the "Dotty For You" paper pack...

I also made a card for a baby shower using the "Roxie" paper pack. I had fun with this because the mom-to-be is young and hip.

I used layouts from the CTMH Reflections how-to book, I just reduced everything by half easy peasy.
Enjoy

Family Prenatal Visit and Thanksgiving

Wednesday was my monthly prenatal visit. Since Nick was off at noon and Ari has been so curious about her "baby brother" in my belly, we all went to the appointment. These first visits are fairly boring, I weigh in, pee in a cup, have my blood pressure checked then the doctor listens to the baby's heartbeat. The girls did hear the heartbeat and they were amazed. Now Ari puts her ear to my belly to listen to baby's heartbeat.
Our Thanksgiving was a low key nuclear family affair. Ari says she doesn't like feasting, Jojo was indifferent, and Mami & Papi pigged out. My new recipe this year was pumpkin cheesecake, Nick and Ari ate half the pie in a day. Jojo doesn't really have a sweet tooth and I was sick of seeing it. By the time I got around to trying some I was surprise by how much they ate.
Now on to Christmas and Ari's birthday, wish me luck.

I'm Back

Well, I originally started this blog when I found out I was pregnant as a way to log my thoughts and feelings. After the miscarriage I lost interest. Now that I'm pregnant AGAIN and now in my 18th week I think it's safe to start again.
Ari and Jojo are convinced we are having a boy. When I ask her what about a baby sister she says "I already have one". LOL

Architecture....

Last week while Ari was in Vacation Bible School I was chatting with some of the other parents, and I mentioned I was laid off. When he found out I was an Architect in less than an hour I had a paying job. WOW!!! Then this week I have another job from the same source. So is God telling me this is the way I should go. Huummmm.....

Trying to get back in the saddle

Hello Everyone. Since I got my daycare license I have been going non stop. I had to get the house ready for my open house. Which was a full time job by it's self. Then I had to get my website up and running www.lilyslittleones.com and work on my advertising. I'm still working on getting students but I'm praying and working on new ideas.

Catching up

So I thing I'm all caught up. I'm off to bed. Good Night
