Lot's of new kits!!!!!

I'm so excited because I was able to get a ton of new kits by one of my favorite designers (Susan Godfrey aka Simply Susan). I had already purchased 5 of her previous kits! Well I was checking out the Faith Sisters Digital Shop and found out Susan is doing a Christmas sale on her ENTIRE store!!! So for only $15 I was able to buy every kit she had in her shop...I still can't believe it! It took me two days to download all of the kits and get them organized in my scrap software, but it was totally worth it!! If you are interested in some SUPER adorable kits at a ridiculously low price go check it out...there's still a few days left!!!

Here's the link to Susan's kits at Faith Sisters:

The Little Drummer Boy

I've finally begun scrapbooking once again!! Yay!! For the Sweet, Sweet Song challenge in December, we were asked to remember the true meaning of Christmas and also to think of a song that reflected this. My husband Joe reminded me of "The Little Drummer Boy" and how all he had to bring the baby Jesus was a song.

So many times during Christmas, I hear of people being disappointed when they didn't get the gift they wanted or if it wasn't in the price range they had expected. It's nice to remember that Jesus is the reason we celebrate CHRISTmas! It was His birthday and yet He was here to give us the gift...the gift of eternal salvation should we choose to accept it!

Long Time No Scrap!!

Hello All! It has been several months since I've been on my blog AND several months since I've actually scrapbooked!! It's sad, I know! Well I have every excuse in the book...family visiting, school with it's papers, projects, mid terms and finals, and being pregnant! However, My excuses are slowly running out and now I am motivated to scrap once again!!! I've also been motivated to begin a family blog to keep everyone updated on the last stretch of my pregnancy and the adventures of being new parents!!

So the first thing I scraped was our family X-Mas card which I will eventually post! The next thing I had to scrap was my prego belly pics and then the ultrasound pics of our baby boy Jesse!!

Oh Baby!

So I know I haven't been blogging or even scrapbooking for quite awhile but this has been one busy and crazy summer! We have been going camping and fishing nearly every weekend and just trying to enjoy the summer (in spite of the rain). We also have family visiting for several months which takes up a lot of my previous blog/scrap time.

But most recently we found out that we are pregnant (woo hoo!!!) with our first after trying for 7 months. I'm 7 weeks now and feeling the fatigue and nausea in full force. I'm so thankful that I'm not working right now because I'd hate to feel this way and have to teach a class full of fourth graders all day! As it is I'm pretty miserable simply laying in bed or trying to force myself to eat.

So in the meantime I can hopefully get some scrapbooking done and boy oh boy will I have the perfect little canvas to scrap come March!!

Camping

52 Blessings Week 20

Week 20 was an exciting adventure! My DH and I went camping for the first time since we've been married AND it was our first camping trip since we've moved to Anchorage Alaska! Joe (DH) and I arrived at Eklutna Lake on a Friday and our friends were planning on making it the next day. We attempted to bike around the lake but, being out of "biking" shape, we barely made it halfway. Next time our goal is to make it all the way around!

I love the large picture on this LO. It's of our 4 friends and little Mishka (puppy husky). I'm kind of obsessed with pathways and just fell in love with the tall trees surrounding this curving trail! The small picture is of my DH and myself.

DH and I plan on going camping to Eklutna sometime in the next couple of weeks! Look for another camping page! Lol!
