Little things mean so much...

I truly mean that!  Lately, it has been little things that just make me happy...that doesn't mean they are insignificant....it just means.  that to most people the things I am referring to...well, they just wouldn't be a big deal...but to me they are awesome!  I know, I know, you are thinking what is this crazy woman talking about?   So let me enlighten you with some random thoughts:

• Parker is crawling like mad!  He is a moving machine now...and he is loving EVERY bit of it.... unfortunately, his sisters are already complaining about him getting in their stuff!  Hee Hee! 
• My little Mallory  and Kennedy are so creative...and I am so proud of each of them and their giving attitudes...made Valentine cards this afternoon

and did an awesome job!

• Sweet emails from some of my dearest friends...saying that they are praying for Parker and all his ENT issues
• Chocolate chip cookies that I just finished baking...for now particular reason except that I know how much my clan loves them!!!!
• My scrapbook room and a new surge of creativity....these things make me so happy!  I have done a lot of card making over the last week....and a few layouts (I am going to put up the pictures in the photo albums in the right column for your viewing pleasure...LOL)  I will add a few here in the post too!

  On this card I just utilized a sticker sheet I had full of words related to love and Valentine's Day and then a rub-on over the top (the white heart and the little I love you in the bottom corner)

 

 

 

This card was really simple to make... it is just a 3-D sticker and some ribbon on a DCWV pre-cut card...very easy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This card has turned out to be my favorite so far...it was pretty easy to make too...

I used Basic Grey paper and monogram letters, some new Prima's that I got the other day at my LSS,  MM crystal brad, a new set of love stamps for the letter O, and last the card is a gatefold card....so I used one of those BG magnets to secure the gatefold....and it rocked!  This is the first time I have used those magnets and I love them!  They are so cool!

• Old black and white pictures of my Dad and grandparents...so cool!!!  I have been scanning a lot tonight and hope to share some with you soon!
• Random Acts of Kindness...I have never won one....or even participated to my knowledge....but this week I did some major cleaning and purging in my scrapbook room....and let me just say that I cleaned out so much stuff that I could do a RAK everyday of the week for the next year...LOL....so stay tuned because I am going to start doing one a week for while....I figure it like this....if I have brand new scrapping stuff that I bought with good intentions...and have let it set long enough to collect a layer of dust...then it is time to give it away to a good home!!!  So why not share with others???
• Scrapping websites that I have been visiting!  There are so many cool ones out there on the WWW and I have found several that I find myself returning daily....especially 2 Peas....I have known about it for awhile....but just recently have started posting pictures and getting involved and I LOVE it!  So many talented people out in this big ole' world!!!

Those are just a few random things that have been making me happy!  In case you haven't noticed....I decided to take a little time off from blogging to refocus and to take some time to get more organized and productive on all the creative projects I have wanted to do....

So I have taken a little break and ready to come back full force!  I have lots to show you and tell you about...especially for V-Day this week!  So stay tuned...visit often....and you just never know what might be happening here this week and in the weeks to come!
