The Scrapper's Block

Two sickos

Well that's what Ryan and I are.  Reeeeally bad colds.  Poor Ryan had a 103.7 fever this afternoon.  I gave him some Tylenol and let him go back to sleep.  He seems to be doing alright for now.  We will definitely call it an early night.  Hard to imagine this little guy being happy and miserable at the same time.  Thing is, he is.   He also is one big snuggle bug, much to his mama's happiness and delight!    I will post something creative tomorrow, I hope.  We will see how it goes.

Out of the old, in with the...

Well we finally got everything out of the house and cleaned out on Saturday.  I never knew it would be so much work or that we could possibly have so much stuff!  So we were out that afternoon and the renters moved in immediately upon us leaving.  CRAZY stuff!  So now Scott left this morning and the kids and I are here at the in laws for a month.  It will be a tight fit, but it'll be just fine.  I will have to get back to scrapping before I go insane.  Here is a picture of Ryan I took today and so I will leave that with you to enjoy. 

How cute is this guy!!

So I am packing things up and I ran across this picture.  So cute!  Look at those great eyes.  Yes this is Scott.  I have to say that our youngest looks quite like him.   What do you think?

Alright, time to spill

Okay so I mentioned in the previous post that we were moving, or rather packing.  Well I am packing up my house and need to be out by Saturday so the carpets can be cleaned and the renters move in on May 1st.  We, the kids and I, will be moving in with my in laws for a month until school gets out.  Thank you Ken and Betsy!!!!  When school moves out we will be joining Scott in probably the hottest part of AZ. Sounds fun for a pregnant woman huh?  Around the first of August we will be coming back to the valley of the sun to move into a house that we are in the process of buying.   Here is that house.  So now you all know the details.   

Arte y Pico award

Well I got a comment on my blog saying that I had been awarded this lovely award.  Jenn from the UK chose me to receive it.  Nice!!  Now I have to do the following:

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to the blog to be visited by everyone.
3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and the link to the blog that has given her or him the award.
4) Award winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "arte y pico" blog (linked in my title) so everyone will know the origin of this award. (Cut and paste the info into your blog to make things easier).

Melissa Phillips- Her creations are stunning!!

Tidings of Great Comfort and Joy!

Okay so reading that you would think it was Christmas.  Well no.  Many of you know that I am large with child and only getting larger.   When I first found out I went looking for my old maternity clothes.  I knew I had put them in a box somewhere.  Well, it was no where to be found and I just figured it had been DI'd.  My husband found the beloved box last night when packing up the garage (reasons why to follow in another post).  It had all the clothes I was truly missing.  Great tshirts, 3 prs of pants (I doubt I will be utilizing these during the last half of the pregnancy), and a pr of capris that I have loved since purchasing them over 2 yrs ago.  Along with a dress and some other out of season stuff.  Anywho, I just want my hubby to know how much I appreciate him.  I know he doesn't read this, but oh well.  He truly is the best husband ever!  Love you babe!

Thanks

Okay so I made this card to the hazard of my health.  The brad you see on this layout are prong-less.  I cut them off with my very sharp, very strong cutter bee titanium scissors.   While cutting one of them, I cut my finger very badly.  I will survive thankfully, to create more cards and layouts.  WOOO HOOO!  Anywho, here it is.  TFL!

A layout to share

This is a layout I did for my Random Chaos DT assignment.  The photo is a little off, but you get the general idea.  I wasn't sure I wanted to scrap these photos, just because they aren't perfectly clear.  However,  I just love them.  So here it is.  TFL!

A Boy and his box.

What is it about boxes that kids love?  Here are some pictures I took a few weeks ago of Ryan.  Have a great day!

You may notice...

That a few of my cards are no longer there.  They were submitted to Paper Crafts magazine and will be published in their upcoming Cards Creations magazine.  It will be coming out in September so be on the look out!  Should be some fun stuff in that issue!  WOO HOO!  Thanks for letting me toot my horn.  Have a fantastic Saturday, we are about to take the kiddos out for breakfast.  See ya!
