Me and my heartbreaker!!!

Most people are blessed to have one Valentine but I got two of them. The littlest one helped me bake brownies for the potluck we are having after Church tomorrow. He was such a good little helper tonight. I love him in his little apron and hat. Adorable! He is so excited because he has a wiggly tooth that keeps getting wigglier (not sure that is a word) by the day. I am pretty excited for him too even though he is getting too big, too fast. Time has really flown since he has born and it is hard to imagine life without him. He will be my little Valentine forever in my heart. I am getting all emotional just writing this.

So I have had this heart pan for about five years or so that is brand new because I just really do not bake all that much. I love brownies though so I made an extra pan of them for myself. The boys don't eat them so I can eat the other pan all by myself. Usually takes me about 3 days or so.

P.S. I am trying to grow side bangs that is why my bangs are a little funny looking.

Happy V-Day to all,

Lucia

Surprise in the mail...

Is it true, really we get to go to New Zealand?! I didn't think I was supposed to have any orders delivered yesterday but I thought maybe an order came in early. No order, just my Goody Box for New Zealand. Lady and I were so excited. Lady was more excited about seeing what she could chew up though. Can you see her eyes and tail peeking from the other side of the table on the last picture? She is so funny.

I got slipper socks, eye mask (cause I will need my beauty sleep on the 15 hour plane ride), makeup bag (after that 15 hour flight), and all kinds of product to create my New Zealand Album. We got our blue shirts for the Close to my Heart group photos in New Zealand. Yeah, happy dance going on in the kitchen. Glad nobody can see it but Lady, she won't tell and no I didn't take any pictures of the dancing. :)

You are a SUPERSTAR!!!!

My son was amazing at his last Basketball game. He scored 6 points, but what was really amazing was his defense. He was guarding the other team so good. He didn't care if they were a bigger kid or not. I was so proud of him. If he is this good at Itty Bitty Basketball who knows what next year will bring with Pee Wee Basketball.

Thanks for letting me brag,

Lucia

Proud to be an American...

Thanks to all of the men and women who have served in our Military to protect our Freedom in this great Country I am proud to call home. May we never forget the many lives that have been sacrificed to protect the United States of America.

I found this neat Vet poem that I thought I would share with you.


Thank A Vet
by William A Predeau

Many people travel to our shores
To escape their world of strife
and leave their troubled lands behind
To enjoy our way of life

But our way of life in America
Didn’t come easy, so don’t forget
If you love what we enjoy today
Be sure and thank a Vet

They shed there blood on foreign shores
to help keep others free
and many never came back home
to their wives and family

Many Fathers, Sons and daughters
Still battle in distant sand
May they never be forgotten
Nor the fight they have at hand

The bells will toll in their honor
As long as we never forget
America is what it is today
Thank God, and thank a Vet

We had such beautiful weather this weekend. It was in the 70's yesterday, which is pretty good for November in Illinois.

Warning proud Mommy bragging. My son scored 8 points at his basketball game Friday night. They only play for 30 minutes so this is pretty stinkin' good. He was so amazing. The other Coach kept getting in the way of me taking pictures of my son scoring too. Very annoying for a scrapbooking Mom.

Big, Medium and Small

This is the puppy I got my husband for his birthday in August. The top picture is her about a week ago. I think she is about 20lbs or a little more. She is a German Shephard/Yellow Lab so I know she is going to be a big dog, but I am still amazed at how fast she is growing. I think she gains a couple pounds a week.

The second picture I took in September when she is sitting on the picnic table. Isn't that the cutest thing.

The last two pictures are from when I surprised my husband with his birthday present. His face first registered shock and then he got this big goofy grin on his face. Her name is Lady and she was only 8 weeks when I got her and only weighed 8lbs.

So she is not even 4 months old yet and is so big. She really gives new meaning to the saying Growing Like a Weed. I shouldn't complain because she is a really good dog and very smart. She is doing very good with going potty outside too. She hardly ever has an accident.

Baby Shower Gifts

I made this cute album with Close to my Heart's Animal Cookie Level 2 Paper Pack. I then wrapped the album up in tissue paper and put it in this Display Box. They are having a boy but this would work for either a boy or girl I think. She really liked it when I gave it to her. I just love giving gifts that people really enjoy. I also know that nobody else gave her this gift. :)

The Great Pumpkin Patch

I love going to the Great Pumpkin Patch. We go every year. I enjoy it as much as my son does. Our Pumpkin Patch was visited by Martha Stewart's people. She even had one of the owners on her show and they did a big magazine spread on it. It is fun to look at all the different Pumpkins and squashes. They even were selling seeds this year so I bought my husband some. He is going to grow them this spring so we just may have our own tiny pumpkin patch next year.

The last picture is of the largest pumpkin which weighs 901 pounds. Wow!!! We even got to do the wagon ride this year. I can't wait to go again next year.

Rewind...

I am so excited about my Workshops I am doing this weekend. They are all cut and ready to go. We will be making a Bella Paint Can one day and the other day we are making a Moon Doggie Acrylic Album.

Would you like to get your friends together for a fun time, make a project, and get Free Close to my Heart Product? If you answered yes please contact me to schedule a Workshop date. They are so much fun. My Hostesses always get at least $40-$100 in FREE product plus they get to pick any item in the book for half off. Yes, I wrote anything from Glue Dots to the Rolling Carryall.

For those of you who purchased You've Got Flair or earned it for free this card is for you. You've Got Flair was the stamp of the month for July. It is a great stamp set. It is no longer available but I thought it might give you an idea on what you can do with the stamp set.

All product used is Close to my Heart. I used the Game On Paper. Shop now.
