This week in reveiw....

Last week, while on Spring Break we all got sick. Drew ended up getting this wicked cough, therefore I could not send him back to school on Monday or Tuesday. Baby and I ended up getting the cough as well so we were one coughing family.

I also had a wonderful adventure with my teeth. Last year I had to have a root canal and a crown put in while we were traveling. NOT FUN. Long story short...my crown from last year broke. YES I only had it on for one year. However, I have bad teeth and this has caused major anxiety going to the dentist. As a kid I have had many cavities filled.  My parents warned me that I will have bad teeth. Now, I have come to accept that I do have bad teeth.

So I am taking the first steps in helping my gums get back into shape. So I went to the dentist on Wed to get my crown temporarily put back on then I had a two hour dentist appointment on Thursday to work on one half of my mouth. I will go back in two weeks for them to work on the other side. I will have healthy gums soon. Now I will need to go back every three months to make sure everything is still doing okay and make sure things are progressing properly.


However, having to go to the dentist twice this week as set me back TWO days. I feel like I am playing catch-up. So the house is a wreak, and I have a pile of paperwork to do and all I want to do is play with my kids. Needless to say, my house will not get picked up today. I am going to play with my kids.

Hope you have a great weekend. I will try to let go and just enjoy the time with my kids.

Happy Easter..

I hope you had a great Easter.  I was excited that I could capture our Easter Egg Hunt with the kids that morning.  I was able to play a little myself, it was satisfying at the end of the day to reflect how blessed the day turned out with family and friends. Here are some of the results while playing with my photos in Photoshop. 


Baby did not want to drop any eggs out of her basket.  Solution solved!

Drew was excited from the start. You can see it in his eyes.

Drew was non-stop..running and so excited to find the eggs.


Sammie was very strategic with her egg hunt.  Once she would find an egg she knew exactly where to go next.  Sammie found the most eggs. She is the thinker of the family. 

After the egg hunt I was able to get a decent family photo.  Hope you had a great Easter.  We love our little family traditions. And I was glad I remembered to pick up the camera and take pictures to help the kids remember the great time we have hunting eggs.

What is an Easter tradition that you have in your family?  I would love to hear what other families do, I would like to add more to our traditions. Thank you for sharing with me.

Teresa Collins Stampmaker

This week I was able to play with my Teresa Collins Stampmaker. I was working on some samples for the April Download that you can find HERE. I was even featured on Teresa Collins Blog HERE.
I love my Stampmaker
The process of making stamps.

Bunny card using the FREE Downloads for April
Card using the Egg from the Free April Downloads.

 It was so much fun playing and making stamps using my Teresa Collin Stampmaker.  If you have not purchased on I highly suggest getting one today.   I am amazed with the possibilities that this machine can do for a crafter like me. Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend. :)
