Gone too Long

Oh my goodness! I've been neglecting my blog, not by choice of course! My time has been so limit lately. I can't believe August is almost over, in away I'm looking forward to September. August is alway such a busy month for our family.

This year all three of my kids headed off to the same school. My little guy is in all day kindergarten this year, which gave me the opportunity to accept a part time position at the preschool I subbed at last year. Subbing last year was hit or miss, which really didn't disrupted our family, but after being a full time mommy for 9 yrs. and going back to work three days a week, our family is doing the best we can with this huge transition. I'm sure in a few months time everyone will be on track. Don't worry, I'm not giving up my blog or my youtube channel. I will need a creative outlet even more now! LOL! I have been able to create a few new yt videos this month among all the craziness.

I've made a goal for myself to create more 12x12 layouts. I started scrapbooking as a 12x12 scrapbooker, which over time has lead me to create mini albums, altered items, etc. I love creating and taking pictures and no matter how crazy life gets, I'll always find the time to capture our families memories!

Thanks for hanging around and not giving up on me.

Here is my most recent video.

Wizard of Oz, VBS Style

This week I'm super busy running a super fun VBS (Vocational Bible Study) for our church.

I'm one of three leaders on our church's Children's Ministry Team that consist of 10 members. This is our first year as a team running this ministry for our church. We have been planning this VBS since January, and last night was the first night of this event and WOW! It's so nice and rewarding to actually see all our hard work pay off, and on the first day!

The photo above is just a glimpse of how much fun and planning went into our VBS. Yes, you read the title right, and you are not seeing things. Our theme, is "There's no place like home" "and Heaven is our Home." a spin off of the Wizard of Oz. but told in a Biblical fashion. Super fun for the kids!!!

So you won't be seeing a lot of blogging from me this week, as I'll be giving all my time and energy to VBS this week, then I'm off to a much needed vacation without kids in San Diego!

A Special Birthday Gift for A Special Friend

Wanted to share with you a mini book I created for a friend of mine for her 40th birthday. If you have been following me for awhile, you'll remember that among my friends we have this silly tradition when one of us turns "40". We throw them a surprise birthday party, which involves a black coffin, and lots of black decorations!!! I usually create something with the photos taken the night of the party as a gift that reflects that person. In my video I share the mini I created for my friend Knoel, who just turned 40.

Enjoy!

MIA

Okay, so I've been MIA for a long time. I've been super busy! End of school teachers projects, kids end of year parties, getting ready and finishing up planning my in-laws 50th Anniversary Party, finishing up some more projects for another party for some close friends of ours who are moving soon, hosting several get together at our house, and traveling. Oh, and I celebrated my birthday yesterday.

I have posted recently some new YT videos that I was able to pre-record and get uploaded before all the craziness. Head on over to my YT channel if you wanna watch any of them. I hope to post soon some photo's on my blog of the gift I created for my in-laws along with some photos from the party. Just wanted to drop in and let you know what's been going on and why I haven't posted in awhile. Hope you come back soon. Can't wait to share my in-laws 50th Anniversary gift with you.
