Those mum mums are a big hit around here. I see a trend of CP feeding Tuck.. oh dear.

New Year!

What a great New Years with great friends!! Mel and Sarah hanging with CP before grandma takes him for the night!

Newly engaged Sarah and Jeff!! With my signature gift for the engaged... couples quizzes!

Newly engaged Eric and Melanie!! Eric already had a few and I think the questions were confusing him.

Justin and I - eric you are quite the photog!?!

The ladies {Sarah, me, Mel, Ashley, Carrie and baby Wilson}

May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.... Happy 2011!

family.

We love photos around here. Luckily I know all the best photogs in town :) Lauren Gay took these timeless photos for a sweet Christmas gift to give to my parents. When Christmas came around growing up we always asked our parents what they wanted and mom replied with "a nice photo of you and your sister". So Meg and I gathered all our {babysitting} money, put on matching red sweaters and went up to Sears for a few Christmas presents. Oh dear. Where were you Lauren then?

We thought it would be perfect timing as Meg and I basically expanded the fam in 2010 :) Thanks Lauren!

merry christmas!

Just a few shots from Colin's first very very BUSY Christmas. I am having a drink as we speak. wow. He is so lucky to have such amazing family. He has everyone wrapped around his plump fingers ;)

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas with their families and friends.

holiday cards.

There has been a huge push this year to help local/small businesses- so that I did. I contacted Rita {who also designed this blog} to design a custom holiday/moving card. She did a fantastic job. Thanks Rita! Then I took these to a local printer to print/cut cards. Feels great to support the crafters and small businesses! If you can you should too! A very happy holiday season to everyone!! Thanks for reading :)

Family photos came in the mail from Kristen Gardner today! Can't wait to get a few of these in a frame :)

DIY Coasters.

I come up with these random crafty ideas from time to time. I am not sure who likes it more me or my dog who likes to chew anything new I create. I am outnumbered by boys that test me. So I need a little girl time in my life..

If you have some coasters that need a face lift this literally takes two seconds and is super cheap! Buy some Modpodge {best stuff on earth}. Cut out pretty scrapbook paper. Apply modpodge directly on coaster. Apply scrapbook paper. Apply modpodge on top for finish.
Here you go! Fun. Simple. And super duper cheap :)
