It's all good...

So much has been happening in our family life and business too that I have not been able to keep up with this blog...I know..I know...if anyone is still out there...please let me know...LOL


I will start sharing a little bit today with something that I have wanted to do for a while now, and will host it beginning today: I want to do a tag swap. Please let me know if you are interested in doing this as I would like to swap tags in the month of November. Simply let me know if you are interested. The first ten people to sign on with me, will join this first round of tag swaps. I plan on doing one for Christmas time also.

Hope you will join in the fun!
Not sure who made these tags...found them on file while visiting bloggie land.

Now onto some super fantastic BIG NEWS in our home.

My Jacqueline got Baptised. I am so very proud of my daughter. She not only has a Godly heart, but she is truly becoming a lovely young lady. Me and Rios are truly blessed and thank our Heavenly Father that HE chose to give us this beautiful soul to raise and nourish.

Funny Story: Jacqueline's face was not submerged completely, so our minister took his hand and pushed her face in the water helping her along the way...she later on shared that she thought she was going to be drowned by our Minister...LOL

So excited and yet soooo tired....isn't that the norm? There are many wonderful happy things going on I just can't keep up. I promise to make an effort and post pictures on the large amount of layouts and projects I have completed.

Have a great day!

Happy Friday....It's a beautiful day here peeps.

Hi gang.

Here are some pics of some goodies I am working on....

Flowers...yummo! LOL
This is a friends album 12x6 to be exact. :)

Websters pages...can never have enough of their goodness. Can't show this yet...it's a gift for someone in the family. But there was a lot of 3-D going on here. I forced myself to only use paper on this LO. Challenging myself not to use flowers....D-I-F-F-I-C-U-L-T!!!!

I hope you are all having a great day.
Hugs,

Hello peeps. It's almost weekend time. WHOOHOOO!!!!

I am getting ready for a bunch of classes that I am launching within the next several weeks. I am super excited, nervous and boy oh boy....It's such a great feeling when you know something great is just going to happen.... :)

Now I HAVE JUST GOT TO SHARE: Look at this deliciousness!!! My lovely Sis' Margie is an awesome photographer. She shared the following with us and I just had to share with my peeps.

Of course it helps that the subjects are so cute you can eat them up...LOL....

Just have to brag a little about my little sis....she began her own Photography business called: Margie Bonilla Photography a little over 2 years ago...and I am just amazed how she has grown and has touched so many people's lives. It is great when you see someone you love so dearly accomplish their dreams. I am so proud of not only her but the talent God has given her.

If you are looking for a photographer to take pics, I HIGHLY recommend her. NOT BECAUSE SHE IS MY SIS....LOL!!!!....but because she has a great eye to capture the ordinary and make it extraordinary!!! You can view her work here and decide for yourself!!!

I will try to post some goodies tomorrow....I've been working on several new projects and want to share with you all.

Have a great day!

Hugs!!!! Me

HELLO MY FRIENDS!!!!

Are there any out there? LOL!!

I have had a fabulous Summer with my kids...OH HOW I HAVE ENJOYED these past few months. My children are getting older, wiser...way quicker than what I would like. So as you can see, I took quite a vacation from Bloggie land.

But, I'm baaaaaack. LOL

I have worked on some awesome, delicious, fantabulous projects that I am very proud of. I have even created a picture/journal mini....can you believe it? I am thrilled with my upcoming classes. I can't wait to share.

OK...let me get the eye candy out of the way. This was created by the amazing Janine Koczwara. I love the purple's and ohh...be still my heart...look at all those flowers!! YUMMO! :)
Now..here are some events coming your way....start saving those dates!!!!

I decided to celebrate a form of Scrap PINK...although officially we can not call it that, we will be celebrating this cause and monies collected at this event will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I will be celebrating ("SAVE THE TATA'S!" LOL. I LOVE IT!!!!) with my buddy Nana at the Paper Tree House on September 25, 2010. It is actually a two day event with lots of goodies and fun in store for all who attend.

Croptoberfest 2010 is also in full swing. This event will be held on October 30, 2010. I expect this event to sell out as soon as I give you all the info...so make sure you respond immediately, as all spots are available on a first come first serve basis.

My annual Christmas Class/Crop will be hosted December 4, 2010. OOOhhhh...it's my favorite time of year...yipppeeee...I feel like it is right around the corner! So many wonderful goodies to give away at this crop. It has been a bit difficult for me to choose and pick since there are so many wonderful lines out there. :)

I have a new class schedule with some deliciousness coming next month. Lots of new product ordered and some major goodies coming soon.

I organized a ton of stuff this Summer and I am extremely happy with what I accomplished. I am in the middle of finishing my room as I will be hosting another Scrapbook Yard sale in a week or two...will post more on that. LOTS OF GOODIES AT SOME FANTASTIC PRIZES!!!!

Well, this is it for today. I am heading out with my kids....the count down has begun...I have 3 days left. :(

Let's enjoy these last few moments of Summer vacation with our children. :)

HUGS!!!

Stamp Maker anyone

Not sure if I am going to get this...but if I do I promise to post all about it. It's interesting to see all the new gadgets that come out every year at CHA. It's actually crazy. It is obvious to anyone with half a COCO that it is impossible to keep up with all the scrap goodness out there.

Anyway, this is the Teresa Collins Stampmaker. What does it do you ask? Well, let me tell you...it makes stamps. I think I am going to have to play with it before I give you my final opinion. Yet, wanted to share that it is out there for those of you crazy stamp lovers.
Hugs,

Love, love, love yellow letters. Can you tell what is going to be in your kits in the next coming months...hee,hee.

SUmmer is fLyING awaY!!!!

OK...I can not believe that SUMMER is almost half way through for us. I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT!!! I have been having a great time with my kids. Lots of pool time, family outings and just plain Summer GRILLING!!! YUMMO!!! Mr. has a heavy traveling schedule this Summer, we have been having a lovely time. Lots of time talking, sharing and simply speding time together. LOVE THAT MAN!!!!

ALthough, I have taken a break from teaching large venues for the Summer, I have been busy with personal classes. I have met some lovely ladies and wanted to thank all those who have taken their Summer VAC. to take a class with me.....THANK YOU...YOU BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!!! I certainly hope you enjoyed it as much as me.

I have been impressed with some lovely things that so many of my customers are creating. Don't you love how the creative side just seems to come on out when you least expect it? LOVE THAT!!!!

I have completed 5 mini books since SUmmer began.....very happy with the outcome of all 5. I have also been working on my first love....12x12 scrapbook pages of course. I completed 18 pages this past week. Worked on the Flutter kit and the Jenni Bowlin...and of course on one of my FAV...the material girl kit. Will post pics soon...as soon as I find my camera cord! :)

I wanted to share this today:
