Have you ever seen a lip out so far???
All because she wanted a cookie! She asked me for one and I said no we were going to have supper soon. Then she goes and asks dad if she can have a cookie, and he said no she had to wait and eat supper first...(my I didn't know playing the parent card started at one!) then came the lip, and we couldn't help but laugh and take pictures! She even got to laughing so it was a happy ending and she got part of a cookie AFTER supper. :)
We had a busy but fulfilling weekend. I finished a new modern prayer painting that involved many steps. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll have some good pictures to show you and can add it to my etsy shop. Anyway, since the weather was so nice we had a little fun family time out in the snow on Saturday. We went sledding on the snow piles across the street. Kaelyn was a little worried to be pushed down a hill by herself, so I ended up going with her and oh my goodness I don't remember when I've laughed so hard. I was more worried than Kaelyn and she thought it was funny and kept saying again, again when I wanted to be out on my feet again! Later Kaelyn and daddy built a snowman together, which she doesn't stop talking about and she has to look out the window to see him several times a day!
Sunday, David was given a Trustee position at church. He will be serving for 3 years! Way to go hun! I'm so proud of you! After church we finally had our last make-up Christmas party due to the snow storm. We were also able to celebrate my grandma's 87th birthday. She's 87 and going strong! Her mother made it into her 100's so I hope I take after them! So that was just a few tidbits of our weekend.
I also want to let you all know there is another
GIVEAWAY going on at my other
blog. This time it is for a 100 free postcards that can be used for so many things: announcements, invitations, thank yous... check it out. I wasn't planning on doing another giveaway so soon, but I couldn't pass this one up since I thought so many of us could use it. Enter to win at

Hop on over to Touched Creatively if your interested in my review of UPrinting's Rolled Canvas Print. I gave two thumbs up for this product but there are more photos and details over there.

Well, with all the craziness of the last week or so of completing my art room I haven't had much time to work on the digital book. But I have gone through all the photos that I have in folders on my desktop of Kaelyn's first year and now have all of the ones I like the most in a folder called digital scrapbook. That part was pretty time consuming since I had so many photos! My next step will be retouching them before I can work on more layouts. Most of them just need the lighting tweaked like what I shared in my tutorial HERE. If there is anything you would like me to share, please comment or shoot me an email. Thanks!
