Hi Y'all!  Another LO here created with new Crate Paper scrumptiousness!  The circular flowers were an idea I grabbed off the Crate Paper blog.  *thanks Crate DT - y'all are awesome!*

This is a pic of my mom, dad, sister and I when we lived in Pacific Grove CA in the mid 70s.  Check out the afro on my dad, would ya! :)



Hopefully you've all participated in the blog hop over at Paper Issues and that may even be how you found me!  If so, you may be wondering when I am going to announce a winner of the lovely swag I previously posted.  I plan on using the child-generated random number picking system this weekend and announcing then.  Please stay tuned!

Hello party people!  This is a LO that goes with my two previous posts.  One was a card and one was the banner I gave my son on his birthday March 15th.  This one is a LO of the paintball party we had.  Oh man, we had a blast!  Aren't you all nervous about your childs party - whether kids come, if he will be happy, and on and on... I plan parties for a living and I wasn't as stressed as when trying to make Cade's come together. 
They had a ball moving the "men" around on the "war" cake, and even got to shoot mom in the tummy (uh YES it left a bruise!).

Thanks for taking a gander. Oh and hi to all the new followers!  Thanks so much for being here!  :)

Hi Y'all!! 
That's right, Paper Issues is having a blog hop this weekend, which will start Saturday March 19th at 9 a.m. eastern time.  Prizes, RAKs swag..whatever you call it - there will be lots of giveaways along the way!  I personally am giving away a very nice little package of goodies.  So do come join us, it's gunna rock!  :)

I am going retro today and posting a couple of my older LOs in hopes that a certain design team finds them and appreciates them  :)  Comments are very much welcomed!  Thanks for checkin' out my old school pages.  :)


This adorable girl is a friend of mine's daughter.  Adelle loves the garden and I made this LO for her in her favorite colors that match her room.  Tons of My Little Shoebox sweetness on this page! 


This page is just to sweet not to make honorable mention!  Look at that angel :)  Love, Elsie, Basic Grey and American Crafts here.
