Back at It.

So, now that E-man is here and we're on a pretty good schedule, I decided to try scrapping a little bit here and there. I am SO FAR BEHIND on my blessings pages, but I will catch up...one day. In the meantime, here are three pages I did today. I feel like the Prince one is missing something, but it will work for now.

52 Blessings: Week 35

My blessing this week are my sisters. I got to see four of the five this weekend at my baby shower. I love all these women! They are best friends in the world and I love the time we get together. I missed having Carrie there, but was grateful the rest made the trip just for me. So blessed!

52 Blessings: Week 34

My brother-in-law and his sweet new wife. Watching two people fall in love, choose marriage and then be sealed in the temple is an amazing blessing. These two are perfect for each other...like two puzzle pieces that finally came together. It was a blessing to witness their sealing and the joy it brought to them and to their families. We're so lucky to have Brittany as part of our family!

52 Blessings: Week 33

Yes, I am about two weeks behind. With in-laws and wedding plans and baby plans and...well everything, I just haven't scrapped much. But when I saw these pictures and how they turned out, I couldn't pass up a blessings page. We are so blessed to have been able to spend the last few weeks with Matt's parents and family. HD's Nonni love her so much and she loves their adoring attention. What a blessing to have such great grandparents!

52 Blessings: Week 24

This week is simple...Time Together. Even though I am grateful for any time we have together, spending a week away from the stress and worry of everything gave me more of an opportunity to realize how much I love being with Matt and HD. It was so nice for it be just us for most of the week - to really get to talk and laugh and enjoy each other's company. Really a blessing during a busy, busy time in our lives!

Adoption - for my sister..

My sister just adopted her little boy two weeks ago. They had a "placement" ceremony in the hospital chapel where the birthmother placed her child in my sister's hands. I wasn't able to attend but was so moved by the pictures and the emotion that I had to (with her permission) scrap them. Adoption has now blessed my family twice. We love the birthmothers so much and recognize their love and sacrifice.

Another Christmas page.

52 Blessings: Week 14

My blessing this week is my family. With my brother's return from his LDS mission to Paris, France we were ALL together. All 27 of us! It was awesome. We couldn't remember the last time we were all together...and sadly we don't know when it will happen again.

I absolutely love my family. Always have. Always will. Even though it was just a few hours, I loved that we were all together again. I love that we are all back in the same country. I love that EJ brings out the best in all of us. I love my parents for loving each other and teaching us to love. And for raising us to be friends. I love that my sisters have all married amazing men. I love my nieces and nephews and the wonderful cousins they are to my little HD. I really am blessed to be part of such an amazing family!

Disneyland Pages

I have SO many Disneyland pictures to scrap that it's a little intimidating/overwhelming to sit down and scrap them all. So instead I just do one or two at a time. Brittney, of Britt-ish Designs, does quite a few Disney-themed kits and I love them all!

This I did for a Tuesday Template Challenge at ScrapMatters last week. Credits.

And this one was for this week's Saturday Special at SM. I am really pleased how this turned out. I especially like the black and white photo with the recolored castle. Credits.

Pages from Cosa Nostra

In order to create more space on my other blog, I deleted all the pages I've posted this year and moved them here.
