Speaking of Love..

Wanted to share the video and some of the pics from Krystina & Ty's wedding in August..

Thanks to the awesome Jess Curren for the awesome photos! Funny story-As I was researching photographers on a very short notice and who's work needed to be approved by my girls, I came across Jess and her beautiful work. We immediately fell in love with her and she agreed to do our photos...A few days later, I saw a post on Ty's Mom's Facebook page from Jess Curren, who just so happened to be in Ty's parents WARD. Crazy! Small world. It was so much fun and we are so grateful for her beautiful talent.

Wedding:

What a blessing it has been...They are so HAPPY...and doing very well living in Utah. Ty's Grandparents have a ranch, so they spend a lot of time there tending to their horses, cows and sheep. They are in Arizona at a stock show-Krystina is so excited, she gets to 'show' her first calf! I'm so glad she found her happy place, with an amazing guy who just so happens to love being a cowboy!

Project Life 2012

Let's just start by saying that Lyndsie-Lou is my major motivator in this project! If it weren't for her, I might not ever scrapbook again. My stuff has been packed away for so long! I'd have to really dust the cob webs and search high and low for all my goods-and I mean ALL. This project gives me hope that I can finally accomplish something and feel good about it. We all take pictures, its finding a way to simplify how we do it. I believe this is the simplest way to do just that! I'm so happy that my girls are on board, especially Lyndsie-she purchased all of her kit materials in November to get started.

Look at all the new patterns..super cute!

This is the *new* Clementine kit cards...new colors, new patterns, new kit choices. Simple. Clean. Fresh.

A little motivating quote...I LOVE the words "Simplify". We all need that now, don't we.

And as a gentle reminder to *Simplify*... I can't help but think that all this time, well lack of time, lack of space, lack of places to shop, I've put too much emphasis on 'why I cant' work on my albums instead of remembering 'why I should' ... Thank you to Becky Higgins and her amazing kits, it saves me money, time, and there is no need to drive hours to a big city to find supplies. As the new year begins, I look forward to capturing our life and recording it, whether it be day by day, or month by month...just getting it done is all that matters!

5. Save time. Save stress.

The organization and design that is Project Life is already figured out for you. Different from traditional scrapbooking, there is no stress about where to place photos, which papers to use, techniques to incorporate, products to coordinate. The work is done. You just add your photos and journaling.

4. No more guilt.

Gone are the days that you feel bad about not doing something with your pictures or your kids' pictures. Now you can actually get those pictures off the computer and into a format that can be enjoyed. Project Life makes photo-displaying story-telling fun and easy.

3. Improve your skills.

Knowing that your pictures and memories are going to be preserved and enjoyed in Project Life, you will naturally improve your photography and writing skills.

2. Incredible value.

We love making scrapbooking not only simple, but affordable. You will have a hard time finding better prices for what you get, especially given the impeccable quality.

1. It's therapeutic.

Whether you add pictures and stories to your Project Life album on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even sporadic basis, you will inevitably find yourself more keenly aware of your blessings and priorities.

I know Christmas is barely over but....

I can hardly stand my excitement for Valentine's Day!!

Did I mention that I LOVE Valentine's Day? Uh huh. Sure do. Already planning out dinner, decorations, the decor on the mantle, and treats to make the kids, and fun things to send in the mail. I love how even though my kids are older (and married), they still look forward to the celebrations of the holidays. Not really sure how or why I started the whole thing, but as the years pass, it only gets better AND the kids talk about how they will continue with the traditions as they start their own families-and they each have their own ideas on how to improve/simplify them...new fresh ideas are awesome!

One of my most favorite things to make:

You can find directions at the Idea Room...It might require some patience, but they are super cute, and well worth the effort! Last year, Krystina and I spent an entire Saturday making roses, hers of course were BETTER than mine...hahahaha! No, really she has a nack for whipping these suckers out. Try other colors, attach a dowel and place them in a small pot with moss...makes a great entry way piece of candy.

A new little something I'll be making is this adorable wreath:

This can also be found at the fabulous Idea Room!

How about a cute printable? I'm addicted to printables! Living in the middle of nowhere and not having a source for great ideas other than the internet, at times you feel as though your creative juices are drained. For me, my creativeness is what I long for, it's what makes 'me'. So I search and scour for ideas to fulfill my inner creativity. Can anyone say Pinterest? It's addicting, in a bad way...good thing I don't have a lot of time to waste so I keep it short and sweet. Back to the topic...Printables. Here are a few cute ones for Valentine's Day...enjoy!

Found them on The Fickle Pickle last year...so cute! If you want MORE..click the tab at the top that reads *FREE STUFF* I will post more in there.
