My Very own Online Craft Store!!

I have to thank my friends and family for pushing me to develop my paper-crafting talents!! I love creating cards and scrapbook and other home decor, but have recently started to sell my creations. I opened an account with Etsy.com and opened my very own craft store (within their website). I'm so excited to keep creating, and share items that I am truely passionate about!! If anyone would like to request cards or creations, I am happy to think of new ideas! Contact me by e-mail if you would like to purchase something, instead of buying it online (I will give you a better price! :-)

If you would like to look at my new shop, the website is...

I will be updating my store and posting more items constantly.
Thanks for your support!!!

Happy Birthday Doug!!

Doug has reached his final year in his 20's!! Happy 29th Birthday Handsome!! We celebrated his b-day a few days early and picked him up early from work and went to dinner at a Mongolian Grill and then watched Ice Age 3 as a family!! Hilerious movie
On his actual birthday, Doug was treated to golfing with his buddies, and then ate a fabulous dinner of frozen pizzas and cupcakes!! We are so gourmet!! I wanted to make Doug a family calendar for the past few years, and never had the time, but I was determined to finish it this year as his b-day present. I'm posting the pages below so that my sister, Jessica (who helped me with this project) can see the final outcome!! Happy Birthday Sweetie!! I love you!!

These are the calendar pages...

Swimming in Lake Michigan
My best friend's wedding
Girl's nights in Chicago and then again in Iowa!
Losing my nephew!
Getting addicted to "burn notice"
Stoker 4th of July party hosted by Bill and Jenny including an array of games, and contests including the infamous pie-eating contest
Catching up with friends and family members!
