Lookie Lookie

Look what I got for my Birthday and Valentine's Day! A new tattoo!!! My wonderful husband, Mark, not only drew it but he also did the tattoo. This is only the third tattoo he has done. I think he did a pretty good job. Once it heals, we will be able to see if it needs touch ups or not. I am also going to add 3 more stars one for each of my girls in the colors of their birthstones. Gift number two is yet to come. We are going to take a family portrait sometime in the next month. I can't wait! tfl

My New Facebook Group: Mini Album Maniacs Challenge for RAK

I decided to make a group for Mini Album Maniacs. I absolutely love to make mini albums. I am so hooked on them. I feel so good and accomplished when I complete one. My girls really enjoy looking at them as well, which is one of the bigger reasons why I scrap anyway. I hope that you can find time to join and share your albums with me. I am having a challenge until Feb 28. You have to make a new mini for "A Year in Review". I will randomly choose one winner to receive an awesome RAK from me. You can find about it here:

I am looking forward to meeting more scrappers. I hope to inspire you and get inspired by you as well.

Is He a Cutie or What!?!

I went in my room to talk to Mark the other night and this is what I see! My little old man, Max holding Victoria's celery doll.

Emma turned 6

I can't believe my baby is 6 years old. Her birthday was Dec 3. Time sure flies by. Emma celebrated her birthday with her very first friend party. She had a few friends from her class come over for a makeover party. Victoria and her friend, Julia put makeup on the girls and Sara did their hair. Each girls decorated their own cupcake. They played freeze dance and school. All in all, they had a great time. On her birthday, we decided to have ice cream cones with birthday candles and I baked a cake to bring to my mom's house. We made mini cupcakes for her classmates. It was some birthday! She has grown up so much since she started kindergarten. She is so smart and we love her so much!
