And I was able to do layouts that I would not normally do : ) </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_9384-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_9384-1.jpg" border="0" alt="June PN Kit" /></a></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Here we are celebrating my SIL's birthday and her new home....these 2 bring out the goofy in me no matter what kind of mood I'm in, you know that saying "we don't stop playing because we grow old...we grow old because we stop playing" well in our case we will never grow old!</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_9382-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_9382-1.jpg" border="0" alt="June PN Kit" /></a></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">We can look normal when need be : )</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_9380-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_9380-1.jpg" border="0" alt="June PN Kit" /></a></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Since I started packing I have come across old pictures and love notes and I found this Polaroid picture of 1998, just 8 moths after we got married. Ahhhhhhh! to be young with no worries, those were the days I had time to get my hair, pedi and mani done every Friday! I traded those days for motherhood and I have no regrets......well 1 regret, I regret the fact the I have crazy looking hair these days but that's what hats are for : )</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_9378-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_9378-1.jpg" border="0" alt="June PN Kit" /></a></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">This is my favorite page, we took my mom to go see the planes land and take off, that is one thing the girls love doing with Daddy! </span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">As you can see there is no journalling on my pages, I need to learn to journal on my layouts, most of it is done on the back of the papers, so if anyone has any good tips please share them with me.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">As always ladies, THANK you for your sweet comments because they always make my day!</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">As soon as we are done living in boxes I will be a better blogger and I will be showing my love for your posts.

The musical notes were stamped with my Prima stamp which is not in the kit but you can get it at The Niche, I embossed the bird with my 7 Gipsies stamp and the border edge was also embossed with my American Crafts stamps that I bought at The Niche.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span> </div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_8330-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_8330-1.jpg" border="0" alt="April 2010 Kit" /></a></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">Me and Jiggy Jen celebrating her 30'th Bday this past November and cancer free, journalling is in the back but I thought the "Encourage your hopes not your fears" stamp by TIME HOLTZ was perfect for this layout of her.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"></span> </div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;"><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_8329-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_8329-1.jpg" border="0" alt="April 2010 Kit" /></a></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#993399;">This is a layout of Ash Wednesday, I had to take the girls to church by myself since Mr. Hubby was working and Soli's asthma was at it's worst, 1/2 was through the mass she started wheezing harder and I saw that she was about to have a melt down so I steeped outside with them and finished the mass from behind the glass and I took a picture, if you look close enough you can see my girls reflection off the glass.

How's your weekend so far?</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">My weekend as of right now has been great and emotional. Today our niece did her first communion and I can not believe how fast the time is flying. I still remember taking that first picture of her when she was born 7 years ago, she was as beautiful then as she is today and what a phenomenal little girl she is growing up to be. Another thing that has me all sad/happy is that my bestie sister in law aka my neighbor is moving tomorrow </span><span style="color:#ffff00;">snif snif!!! </span><span style="color:#993399;">Don't get me wrong, I am so happy for them but I am going to miss the shiznitz out of her.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">Ok!!!!

I decided to scrap a picture of my Hubby's younger brother and his wife AKA my favorite neighbor/scrapbooking buddy and sister in law since their story is perfect for the name of the paper line. You see, they met in elementary, started dating in junior high later on got married and are now parents of a 7 year old and 3 year old, at the age of 31 the have been together for 1/2 their lives and that is something you rarely hear now a days.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_5955-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_5955-1-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#993399;">How cute are they??? I also want to say that they are one of the 2 greatest people in the word, they are kind, loving, patient, incredible parents, wonderful aunt/uncle, the greatest friends and anyone who know these 2 are truly blessed to have them in their lives. You see that little paper above their heads with a little heart? Well it's holds the most beautiful little note written by him to her. </span><br /><br /><a href="http://s292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/?action=view&current=IMG_5956-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/Haberdawoman/IMG_5956-1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#993399;">I used the <strong><a href="http://www.paperniche.com/products.asp?cat=814">WILL HE B THE ONE</a></strong> clear stamps to for the "True Love" and embossed it.
