Christmas Card

Okay...so maybe it's a little too early to be thinking about my Christmas cards, but I'm pretty sure this is my prototype. My inspiration? The Mother/Daugher Challenge for the {Stamps} of Life. Stamp set is Penguins4Christmas!

Feelin' like Fall

The newest addition to the decorations around the house is a series of 7 picture frames that hangs in our front room. For the fall they will look like this and read "HARVEST." I'm really excited for what the other seasons will bring! See below for close-ups :)

Halloween in Paradise?

So Hans wanted to be Jimmy Buffet for Halloween. Somehow I was elected to be the Parrot.

369 days...

Three hundred and sixty-nine days ago I married my best friend. This weekend we celebrated our year anniversary by having a Staycation. We went to Emeril's Chop House, watched our favorite movies and defrosted the topper to our wedding cake. Hans surprised me by even knowing that the 1-year anniversary present is paper! We had a great weekend and watched the wedding video of our ceremony. It brought back so many amazing memories of the day. Here are some to share :)

How pretty I felt in my dress.

My favorite picture of Hans from the day.

Our wedding vows.

The kiss!

Another kiss with bubbles!

This was an amazing day that just marked the beginning of our marriage and time together. We have had some ups and downs over the last 369 days. I am fortuante that the ups are more than the downs. And the downs are what makes the ups that much better!

Cards from me 2 you.

There are some days that I am really glad that my keyboard is black, because underneath it is most likely some muddy shade of every stamp color that I own. Here are some cards that I have been working on lately...

Siblings

T-minus ONE WEEK until all the kiddies are together again. J, K and Mini-me are coming for a visit! I think I will most enjoy the babies together, they can play and point and babble with each other while all the adults ooh and ahhh over them!


And I leave you tonight with this picture of my Ryan doing what he does best :D
