Happy Belated 11 month birthday Madison

Bad Mommy! I had to work on her 11 month birthday. Thank goodness that I took a couple of pics on Friday. Madison decided that she would show me what an 11 month old growing little girl can do. She stayed up and refused her naps today. I still made her stay in her crib though. She was in the crib and cried for a few minutes but when she figured out that I wasn't going to get her out of there she made her own game of playing with her lion and aligator in between her jumping spells. She was so funny. She would jump and play then yell "MOMA" and start it over again. She was so cute when I got her out too. She wanted to walk down the hall way holding on to my fingers. I just know that she will be a walker soon.

Kenzie had yet another great day at school. She came home from school with a pasta neclace. She informed me that "Amanda helped me make a necklace" I said really. She responded with "Zachary and Sydney made one too mommy" I am so happy that she is having such a great time at school.

Ryan had a good day at work. He called me this morning to say, Kathy wants you to make her wedding cake next month. He brought the order home. It is the same wedding cake I did in class only with peach roses. I think I will really enjoy that. I will be calling her tomorrow to confirm it since he took the order, I really want to get a feel for what it is that she wants. I always feel like that it is good for me to talk to them so that I can find out what exactly they want. I am so excited because, my neighbor wants two cakes and will give me the details, Max wants a cake designed based on the Nintendo Wiii. Marybeth wants a lion cake. Mindy wants a bowling cake for june. I am going to be making cupcakes for work later this week. I am starting to really get busy. I like that.

If you live in the Louisville Metro Area and are interested in a cake, let me know and I will work something out for you.

Oh yeah, I am going to do farm animal cupcakes for Madison's birthday!

Anyway, enough about my cake stuff. I will chat later!
Love,

The importance of connections

Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
