I'm a Weener!

Winning something always makes me smile, especially when it is totally unexpected. When I signed in to my blog today, this is what I found:

If you can't read it, it says that I have been randomly selected to win a book signed by the Pioneer Woman! PW has been a guilty pleasure of mine for several years now so this is super exciting to me. And the thing is, I totally forgot that I had signed up for the drawing, so this is an even better surprise! Happy Sunday to me :)  Oh, and if you would like to get addicted to the Pioneer Woman too, click HERE. I love that it is a one stop shop for goodness--Photoshop, photography, recipes, homeschooling, ranch life, gardening, and a whole lot of fun. Plus, she posts most days, unlike me. ;-)

And now, on to cuter business. It had been a while since I had done a page on our little one, so here she is in all her cuteness. I have to say that i really like the pink and grey combination (even though I am NOT a pink person, I have become much more amenable to it with two little girls in the house!) Isn't she so stinkin' sweet?

Ode to a Little Big Girl

My oldest is so girly...honestly i have no idea where she gets her princess ways. She is so beautiful and stubborn and into all things pink, purple, white, red, and silver (all the girl colors, she says!). While I was working on this page about her, she jumped excitedly in my lap and started pointing out all the elements she wanted on it. She was especially overjoyed to see nothing but "girl colors"!

And this one is just a little playing with the new bird brushes. I thought they looked like a couple of gossips hanging on the latest news....so here they are!

Back in the Saddle

We have INTERNET that is reliable! It is amazing how nice it is after weeks and weeks of very spotty and VERY slow connections. So,I am back into it again, posting and downloading like a crazy person. Checking all my sites and scrapbooking a bit too.
We are settling in and enjoying all the newness of the area we are in. Meeting so many wonderful people for whom we are grateful. We are glad to be here.
And now, a few things on which I have been working!

Getting all the loose ends tied up...getting ready for some good cooking, how about you??

Packing!!

So we are knee deep in stuff. Dividing, storing, tossing with abandon. I am so glad that we have done this process a few times...it makes it a lot easier for sure! Thankfully I think we have everything sorted and stored so we can enjoy the holiday with our families before packing up to go. New school and new life here we come!

Getting Ready to Roll!

Only two weeks...yes, 14 days...until we ar eon our way. So...in honor of this, here is an ode to the fantabuloso passport photo that is a definite prerequisite to travel. It can only be trumped by the time honored tradition of a horrible driver's license photo....and oh yes, i have a new one of those too! (No glasses, hair behind ears and all!

New Goodies

More scrapbooking today! After weeks of streamlined layouts, I ended up reverting to my old multilayered approach. And today that was a great thing. Here is what I came up with! And now, I am going to get up and move. My behind is getting numb from all this computer time!
