I guess I went AWOL for a while

I've been "blurffing" (blog surfing) and boy have I seen some nice blog candy!

Check this out if you are into Scrapbooking or card making. Here's another one, but you better hurry, it ends today!

The boxes above are projects I have been working on. One is for my cuttlebug embossing folders, and the other one is, well, was meant to be for my folders until my DD saw what I had done to her box (that she didn't want anymore and had said I could have) so she took it back!

That's okay, I like them both. Have been working on some jewelry endeavors too, but I'm not quite ready to post them.

5 years!

Okay, believe it or not, my twins are 5 today! I don't have any pictures to post yet, but I almost can't believe it. If you've never been through the whole preemie experience, it's hard to understand, but having them in the NICU, and not being able to hold them for almost a week (It may have been longer than a week with Wyatt, God has erased much of that time from my memory) I think I was suffering from severe PPD. It's just so amazing that those little guys who were covered in wires and tubes and hooked up to all sorts of alarms and monitors are now two rambunctious, intelligent (although maybe not in a "common-sense" kind of way ), mostly adorable boys.

Whoever said that Boys are just noise with dirt on it knew what they were talking about!

Happy birthday to my little guys!

One of my favorite websites for make it yourself patterns is giving away a new Janome sewing machine. you can find out how by checking here!

Like the picture says, they have patterns for lots of different things, and the also have a lot of free patterns you can try.
