Where are you scrappin' for NSD?

My baby is 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have so many photographs celebrating my little man's 4th birthday -- and here are just a few. I invited his best buddy over for a birthday play-date and they had a blast. Earlier in the day I visited my son's Pre-K class and served up strawberry shortcake sundaes (sliced strawberries, whip cream and sprinkles) to everyone. After the classroom party, we made a quick run to Target to buy some birthday Hot Wheels. When we got home his buddy stopped by the house for an afternoon of laughs and fun. It was definitely a good day.

Stopped back soon because I will have lots of pages and videos to share this scrappy weekend -- Saturday is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!   WOOOHOOO!!!!!

Why I love being a boy mommy

Hey hey hey,

A little late but THIS IS IT --- the REVEAL! I really did have a blast with all the yummy Sassafrass Lass in this month's kit.  TFL!

So the other day my 3 year old son (soon to be 4) asked me, "Mommy, are you a girl?"

"Yes," I responded. Then he looked at me with those big brown eyes and said, "Mommy, I am a boy and boys kiss girls." "Yes," I told him, "boys kiss girls." Then he asked, "Mommy, may I kiss you?" SWOOON!!!!!!!!

That is why I love being a boy mommy. My boys LUB their mommy.

Have a great weekend,

Bad Girls April Kit --Scrapbooking Tutorial -- Shredded Paper Flower

I had a tremendous amount of fun playing with the April Bad Girls Kit. The pattern papers and embellishments in this month's kit are simply delicious and I tried to use them in inventive ways on my layouts. In this tutorial I demonstrate how to make a shredded paper flower using some of the kits American Craft paper. Do not worry if you do not have AC paper -- just use whatever is in your stash. 

After you are done using your shredder to make flower embellishments and destroy old 2008 documents you may want to consider some other uses. Check out some of the possibilities HERE.

Big hugs and smiles to ya,

Just something to think about

So I wandered onto a new little web site called SOULPANCAKE. It just launched a few days ago and  it is Rainn Wilson's (an actor on the OFFICE) project. He presents what he calls questions to "chew on." On Wednesday, he asked if parents should perpetuate the tooth fairy myth [lie] with their kids. There is a company that has an authentication kit that parents can leave behind to "really really" convince their kiddies. But should they? 

I know my hubby and I have basically stopped the tooth fairy madness -- mainly because my kid stopped loosing his teeth. DUH! But the real deal is that he figured it all out. On more than one occasion we forgot to slip some money under his pillow. On the last big slip-up, he asked what happened, "Mom," he said "why didn't the tooth fairy take my tooth."  I told him the tooth fairy was really busy the night before and would come the next night. He gave me that suspicious look. The next night, his daddy slipped a twenty under his pillow. I know.....I know....a twenty???!!! But we felt so guilty and he knew it. The jig was up. The next day my son asked me "Is daddy the tooth fairy?"  My response, "why do you ask?" The look on his face was priceless. He knew. I mean, he KNEW. And he knew I knew he knew.  Yet, he didn't want to ruin it. I could see in his eyes that he didn't want to mess up a good thing. He wanted to get more money. So, he said "just asking," and walked away. That was it.  I don't think he lost any additional teeth after that. HMMMM??? Funny.
