Patriotic Decor

July Fourth is one of my many favorite holidays.  Were planning a nice big BBQ this weekend and y'all know how I love to decorate ...  I came across these cute firework fans and had to try them.

You can find the DIY here at A Time 2 Create .... Blog.

The printable you see in the frame you can find HERE for free. Very Awesome !!! Also all the fan wheels that are striped and polka dot patterned were a set from party city for $5. Thought they worked perfect with my homemade ones. More decor stuff soon (have to wait until after the party). Be Back Soon.

Oh my .....

Yes folks, its a card. Can I just tell you I'm glad my friends birthday was around the corner because it was nice to take a break and just sit down and make something. Oh and my friend LOVED it. This will be short because I have 3 photo sessions to edit ..... I know crazy how fast this business has taken off. Very exciting and exhausting all at the same time. I also have DT projects to do before vacation ..... ekkk. < I also need to find time to do those other things like laundry .... ewwww.

How cute is this Spark stuff !?! Juices are flowing and cant wait to make a page with the rest of that. Well this week I am off to Michigan to visit my best friend for a much needed girls weekend. The boys are staying home .... See you all next week.

Hello ......

I know its been awhile .... so guess who's on Summer Vacation? Yup, that's right WE ARE. YAY. Its official this Sept. I will be mom to a kindergartner. Last week we started off our last week of school with a nice round of PINK EYE.

Which as you can see did not stop Wii playing. End result was, Ryan was out of school the whole week so no one else would get it since Graduation was right around the corner. One ER trip and were able to dose him with meds until the swelling went down. So glad it cleared up for graduation. Ryan LOVED his Pre-K shin-dig.

Other than that this past weekend was filled with SLEEP and Website building. Its official I am in business. My website is done (complete with slideshow, blog, online ordering, and Client viewing). I am so excited.

Even have my first custom product READY for selling. Here is what you will receive if you order a disk of your session.

Other than that I got some amazing news last week about a DT. But I don't think I'm aloud to tell for who yet. But lets just say I didn't even apply, so its exciting. Once I can spill the beans I will. Which is really killing me by the way. LOL. Be back soon.
