Happy Birthday Buddy!

My buddy turns 9 years old today. It is hard to believe that he is 1/2 way to adulthood. It seems like he was born only yesterday, yet I cannot even remember what my life was like without him. Being with him everyday makes it hard for me to see that he is even changing at all. To me, he looks exactly the same as he did when he was 3 years old....only bigger! I was reminiscing and stumbled across this photo. It was taken on his birthday exactly 3 years ago. The photo on the right was taken this past August at the beginning of soccer season.

He sure is losing that baby face of his, and he is about 80 pounds by now...and getting bigger every day. I still think that he is as cute as ever! He's my buddy! Happy Birthday, Ryan! I love you!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you have a wonderful holiday! I have 5 days off from school and hope to relax a bit, scrap a bit, and share a bit! God Bless!

Important Reminder

Been taking a little break from the computer. I just needed some time to regroup and relax. I just wanted to give all of my readers a little reminder to be sure to take the time to back up your hard drives. That's my job today. Don't take the chance of letting your precious memories and/or important files get lost forever! Make it a monthly thing! Back later....enjoy your Sunday!

"Fancy" Frame

Being busy with school, I missed my friend, Joyce's, birthday. I knew I missed it right after it passed, so I decided that I would make up for my forgetfulness with a handmade gift to win her heart over...LOL! I was thrilled to have gotten the new Fancy Pants Splendid collection in the mail, and I was able to use it to make this sweet gift for her!

I added some printed chipboard shapes, clear acrylic flowers, chipboard flowers, buttons, and brads to decorate it up...all from Fancy Pants! It was so much fun to make. I added the birthday wishes where a photo would go, and she can add whatever picture she wants. I really love doing projects instead of pages sometimes. Although, I am itching to create a page or two. It really has been a while.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Happy (belated) Halloween!

We got home pretty late last night, and I went right to bed. I've been under the weather for the past few days, so Halloween kicked my butt. Ryan loved his costume!


Isn't he just the cutest bug that you have ever seen? I think so! So, tell me how your Halloween was!
