and I'm sorry. I really have no excuse except to say life has just gotten in my way. Here's a quick update of what's been happening during the last month...
Mom and dad came for a visit in late September.
Jenna turned 3!
I took a trip to Birch Run with the girls and mom and dad. Fun trip and lots of good shopping.
I have been purging some of the girls old clothing. This has been taking up a great deal of my time and energy but its great to have some gone and more going.
I returned to full time status at work. This has been a big relief for me. I find just knowing there is a buffer is making things feel a lot less stressful.
Jenna started swimming lessons - she is LOVING it! Its unbelievable how well she is doing. I am amazed and surprised and so proud of her. She is definitely my little fish. Under water, down the slide, blowing bubbles, jumping in, everything! nothing fazes her.
Laura started gymnastics. This is working out so well for her. She is such a natural and has the wonderfully sleek, long lines that make her look so polished. She is truly loving it. She looks to make sure you are watching and asking questions. She is proud of how well she is doing and it shows.
From the scrappy side:
I have been asked to be the guest designer on My Sketch World. I loaded my interpretation of the sketch on the 1st and have been participating on the site during the month. I have some additional jobs for the remainder of the month and hope I can give credit to the creative dose section. I was so thrill when I was asked and am enjoying my month there immensely.
I have been asked to be a guest designer at Turtle Soup for the month of November. Again, so thrilled with this. Its always nice when people view your creativity in a good light and this always feels like such a surprise when I'm picked. I love this community and hope I'll be able to show some great layouts with the package I get.
I also won a few scrapping prizes over the past two months. A pink paislee kit for a sketch blog and a sassafrass collection pack during a anniversary celebration crop. A few additional ones from some other sites too - LOVE getting happy mail!
Ok, I guess that's the most of it for now. I will post again soon with some fall and birthday pics. Promise!
