She and I are gonna skype so I can learn Portuguese again and she can learn English! here is a tutorial about paper flowers on her blog: (it is in Portuguese but her pictures show how its done which is great!):

Homecoming 2012

     Last night was Liam's first homecoming! He is still asleep so I can't ask him how it went but I downloaded the photos that were taken!:

this is such a sweet photo of Kalsie and Liam!

Lorikeets up close

          I loved creating this next LO for Scrap It Girl! and although it is super busy, I think all of it goes well with the photos. The challenge was to use at least 12 buttons and I loooove buttons! I also love flowers so here it is:

products I used:

paper flowers by Bo Bunny

flowers by Prima

wood veneer birds by Studio Calico

flowers by Recollections

misc. buttons

floss by DMC

twine from Mine Mind's Eye, LLC

cardstock by Bazzill

awesome giveaway...

from an extremely scrapbooker! here is the link: http://erinblegen.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-october-giveaway.html Erin is such a blessing to the community of scrapbooking! Her talent and love for this art is so great!

new day, new month!

     I love when a Monday is the start of new month! I also love My Mind's Eye collection "the sweetest thing!" The LO I created today is made up of elements from this most awesome collection! The flowers are of the various type (from my stash) and the crocheted doily is escaping me as to where it is from! The buttons are MME and the paper clip bird is from Studio Calico.

I hope to complete 1 or 2 more pages today but we shall see, won't we?! 

     It's a rather dreary day today. No rain but no sun either! Hope everyone is having a great day! Blessings!
