Guess What?

I'm preggers!!!! Again! Today Cullen is 1 and I'm 13 weeks along - eeek! This will be #4 and the baby is due on 10/10. Cullen and the new baby will be the closest - 18 months apart.

Here are a few LOs I just completed for Fiber Scraps!

















And a few more that I really love that I've done in the past months when I went AWL from my blog!

Excitment is in the air!

Right now I am loving every job that I currently do... mom, store owner and aerobics instructor. But, I've decided to take on another... another job where I will be working with product that I am truely passionate about. I am the new US distributor for Urban Lily. Yes, THE Urban Lily!!!! Could I love product any more than theirs??? nope. So, I will be getting my first shipment in 3-4 weeks! So, if you don't see me for a while... you know why! This is their new product that I will be working with. I also have it in my store on pre-order! Besides the new Urban Lily coming Scrap-Tastic, I have been busy ordering from other great companies... Basic Grey, American Crafts, Prima, Queen & Co, and Autumn Leaves to name a few. I'm so excited to kick off the new year with all of this fun schtuff :)

I'll be published in the coolest book!

Here it is! I am so honored to be in this book with so many amazingly talented designers!

Other than that, I'm sad I'm missing CHA... wha wah! But, I will have many LOs on display at the Fiber Scraps booth along with my fiber trees!!! AND my altered Prima tray will be on display at the Prima booth:

As for the family... Cullen is standing and taking steps! He is 9 months and 2 days... here's a pic I took yesterday:

Caytlynn and Cass are great as always... a bit naughty, but that's to be expected!

Corey got a PS3, so he is as happy as a pig in mud.... lots of mud!

I am finally teaching Kickbox and power yoga at my local gym... and working out more :)

i forgot...

i even had a blog! i've been so super CRAZY around here! I'm Finally working again :) :) :) and hoping to get rid of my baby fat that's been adding up little by little after every kiddo ;) I'm just starting with 1 class and next month i should have 3 classes a week. I do have to admit that i am so out of shpae it's riduclious and the class i started to teach is a full hour of punching and kicking the bag... what did i get myself into???? Well, each class i take or teach, it gets a little easier.

I've been a scrappin' fool, trying to scrap for me and 2 other people as much as possible!!!

PLUS, i've been keeping busy with my website. I just got a TON of product in yesterday and lots more expected to come in really soon :)

Here's a few of my LOs that i haven't posted here yet, some are from a while back! the first one is for Fiber Scraps DT. the last two were accepted into cherryArte's gallery *big grin* I also included a different view of one of them so you can see the pop ups on the LO! enjoy!!!

Think you've seen cute before?

i don't think so! Look at Cullen ;) oh man, he makes my heart melt! I went shopping
with my friend Lisa the other day and found this adorable outfit! Actually, i found a ton of outfits that were just too cute to pass up!

Nnnnnew schtuff!

I can't believe I've been so horrible with updating my blog! My n is sticky because Cullen spilled my dr. pepper! Any way, here's some new stuff that I've been working on! More to come soonnnnn, I promise!

Ups and Downs

I'll start out with the bad news... I didn't get a call for MMM. poo!!! I bet you know what I really wanted to type instead of poo! Anyway, i posted the LOs below so at least somepeople can enjoy them :)

AND now for the good news... kinda :) :) :) :) :) We are set to close on our house on Oct 9th!!! I am so happy we are FINALLY getting rid of it, kinda bitter sweet since I lived in that house for over 9 years! plus it was MY first home! THe bad news is that since we've been sitting on it for so long we've come down in price significantly because the market SUCKS! And the buyers totally raped us, but we had to accept! We'll end up owing on it.

And now for the best news (lately).... drumroll ;).... I got an e-mail from PaperArt and they want to publish one of my LOs! Totally made my poopy day when i got the e-mail. And when i say poopie, i mean it litterally! My kids just don't stop going!

Catching up!

UGH! I've been a horrible blogger!!! Well, here's what's been happening in the past MONTH! August flew by!

** Looking to add one more Design Team Girlie to the team! If you're interested read about it here!

** met the fabulous Barb for lunch this weekend here in town, she's so sweet! Went to Kona Bay, my first time there, loooove the place! I snapped a pic of Barb and Caytlynn, love this pic!

** also, met Lisa for dinner to talk about an album I'm going to do for her son.

** I'm so sad to say the my transmission went on my all time favorite car. My purple firebird. It soooooo fit me! It's been a week and a half and my eyes are tearing up typing about it. For anyone that knows me, you KNOW how much I love that car. My brother's going to buy it from me, so at least I can still see it. i know i'm pathetic, you don't have to tell me. On a much brighter note, dh bought me a new truck! It's a Suburban Denali (sp?) and it's HUGE-Gantic!!!! just a few features: DVD player, stadium seating, satelite radio, seat warmers (front and back) and enough space to crop! haha. I'm so tempted to add some stickles, chipboard and throw on a few UL pp and I would be as happy as a pig in mud! Oh, and it's silver!

** Caytlynn turned 4 today - EEEK! AND she starts 4K tomorrow.

** BOTH of the girls have been so incredibly naughty the past 2 weeks, I'm about to rip my hair out! Oh yea, my hair's falling out anyway! I can't stand that! There's hair everywhere!!!! I'm ready to just throw in the towel and shave it all off.

** Cassidy is pulling a CAytlynn. Whenever i put her down for a nap she poops and takes off her diaper. EWW! That happened 4 days in a row, twice in one nap time! SO, for the past 2 days I have been taping her diaper on. works for me! Beacuse of this I've done a LOT of laundry!!!

** I've been working on assignments for a Cantata book :) :) :) I'm finishing up my last one tonight (hopefully!). yea!

** Cullen is 4 months now! He's such a good baby. he's started laughing about a month ago and just recently he loves to blow raspberries spitting everywhere - lol!

** I'm so excited about the new products pouring into the house for the store. It's all so yummy! I just can't seem to use it all, I've been busy cleaning up poo!

*** MMM calls probably started today. i really don't want to get my hopes up, but everytime I think about it, i get the butterflies in my gut!

** Still sitting on the old house, waiting and PRAYING that it's going to go soon. It's been almost a year and not one bite. All that interest we are paying makes me really really ill. It's been almost a year :(

And finally, here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure!!

Here's a LO that I won "LO of the week" at my own site - lol. Honestly, I had nothing to do with choosing it, it was the fab RObyn that chose it :)


I don't really love very many pics of me, but this one of my mini me and me I soooo {heart}!!










This is only one of a few pics i took of all 3 the other day.








and finally, here's Cullen in one of his favorite places to "hang" out!

I just love my newest LO!

Can't help it :) I did this one for the HMITM challenge #9. I used 17 pp, 14 metals and 10 rub-ons!

New LO & New pics, yes, more of Cullen ;)

This one is for a photo swap with the beautiful and urbly talented Tessa Ann Watte! She's the Girlie of the month at my site and she has done awesome LOs! Check it out - http://www.scrap-tastic.com/pages/gallery.cfm?webcatid=7 She rocks!

Here's 2 pics taken today, I just couldn't resist posting them!!!

Impromptu photo shoot and Becky babble

My little man is just to fun to have around! The girlies love him so much, at times, too much! Today he had the cutest smiles, yes, he has multiple smiles! So, I decided to take some pics. A little cropping and editing of the backrounds and these are ready to scrap! I did invite Cassidy to join, but she's been so stinkin hyper lately, she wouldn't sit still! You really need to click on the pics to see these on a larger scale. He's just so flippin adorable, I'm amazed he came from me - haha! So, yesterday was my b-day. My hubby completely forgot! I waited all day to hear those 2 words and nada! So, today I said "did you forget something?". He almost got whiplash looking frantically at the calendar (I should have written it on there) and I said "uh, my birthday!". I wish I had my camera ready, you should have seen the look on his face, complete shock! and his reply "oh $hit!". I guess I can forgive him since he's been working 12-13 hour days! Oh, and he's hot ;) My MIL took me out to eat at my FAV place, Chipolte - YUMMY!!! I've been super busy lately!! Caytlynn had a playdate today, that was fun! Tomorrow my friend Susie is coming over to scrap. It'll be her first time to my new house and to see Cullen!! Friday will be fun, MIL is taking the 2 girls - YIPEE!!!! Maybe I'll get a chance to scrap then! It feels like it's been forever! Saturday, we have a wedding, and still no babysitter - boo! And Sunday hopefully everyone will sleep all day long, including me!

My day at CHA :)

Well, I was there ALL day, yet it seemed to last only a few hours.

The first booth I went to was Prima. That place was dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!! The lovely & talented Tina Freeman helped me spend a LOT of $. Found out she lives near me, so hopefully we can get together and scrap!! I ordered all the paper collections and some coordinating flowers. by then I was WAY over my limit, but still talked myself into ordering some ribbon - YUM!! Then, I ended up in the beading and craft section (I was looking for Paper House) and wasted a lot of time there, not on purpose.

Found Paper House and got to meet the fabulous Wendy Malicho!!!! and did a make-n-take with her and got some photo time in too!!

Met with Kerry, one of the editors of Cantata books, for lunch. I am not a person to know a lot of names, but I did recognize the name Christine Brown, she was there. I guess from what a few of the other girls were saying that there were other big shots there too!! I'm not one on knowing names, but show me one of their LOs and then I know who they are, he he. The urbly talented Debbie Hodge was at the lunchon as well!

Pumped and dumped.

Met up with Debbie and the 2 girlies responsible for me getting into CHA - Tanya and Val from Outrageous Daisy. More photo time!!!

Placed an order with Maya Road, they will be our sponsor for October or November - YEA!!! Got some YUMMY ribbon!! some chipboard letters and the flower chipboard book.

The rest of the time I did make-n-takes. One from THE Karen Foster, got some photo time in with her!!












AND..... THE Stacey from Junkitz, even more photo time! Not only is she cute, but her hubby is too!

Drove home with achy knees, shoulder and back to a little boy and girl that really missed their mommy!! Although, I think Cullen missed my boob more than me ;)

becbeck out

So smiley!

My little man is so happy and so smiley! Look here, he is just beaming! Love him!!!!!!!!!

busy, busy, busy

Well, not really, but I will be! I am sooooo stinkin excited, Barb and her aunt are coming over to scrap on Wed!!! We are going to have fun, fun, fun!!!! Hopefully I can come up with something for my MMM entry. I have some done, but am not totally groovin' on them, so I will have to see what else I come up with this month! I'm sure I'll have a ton of rejects to post after I send my 5 in :) Sunday we are packing up the kids and heading out to Gregg and Julie's place. They have 2 boys. Caytlynn had one of them pinned in the corner crying last time they were here. Let's hope that she eases up on the poor guy!
So, we put a pool on the deck and the girls LOVE it! It's been so beautiful lately, just that perfect temp where it's not too hot or too cool. This pic is of Cassidy right after she fell - not a happy camper!! You need to click on it and see it full size to really see her face. Look at the compassion in Caytlynn's face, too precious! Also, here's some scrappy stuff!!! I think this pink one is one of my new favs!

Funny story and more scrappy stuff!

So, the other day I was changing Cullen's diaper. I had my 2 little helpers next to me. Cullen decides to pee pee and make a water fountain! This was the first time the girls witnessed this. Cassidy looks at me after he was done and says"AGAIN! AGAIN MOMMY!!!" I must have laughed for 5 minutes! Cassidy says that all the time when we're watching TV. I think she wanted me to rewind time and watch it again, just like we do with TV!
I took Caytlynn, Cassidy and Cullen out to my mom's camper for the day yesterday. We were in a parade! The girls had so much fun throwing out candy to the other kids. and eating it too! It was an action packed day, no dull moments that's for sure! Exhausting, but fun! Here are a few of my fav pics. I took 71 in all!
Any woo, here's some more FIber Scraps LOs! The last one is the HMITM Challenge #4. I used over 60 stickers!!!
This is the journaling on this first one: Didn't Gammer get the memo? I'm a Girl! As if the outfit "thing" wasn't bad enough, she put my bic in crooked and snapped my picture. Hopefully mommy won't scrap these.
