End of 1998

This one is blurry, but it's Cody, Cody, and more Cody.

Hats, Hot pads, and tons of fun with Tina and Kendra...

So,  it started as just something to learn for the heck of it and then just move on to something else, but then this happened:

And this...

And you've seen all the others. So what to do with them?? Tina, Kendra, and I decided on making TONS of these:

Hats..

I made these for a friend's twins for their first birthday. They came out soooo cute, I had to share!!

More crop chocolate.

Here are my last two projects for the crop chocolate crop. The first one is a card I made. The challenge was to make a weave design. The second is a Thankful Journal.

More Crop Chocolate Crop Projects

Here are two more of my projects for the Weekend Crop on Crop Chocolate. The first one is a challenge in which I had to use the color orange, a banner or pennant, stitching, and chipboard. The second is a scraplift. I picked someone's LO to "lift" and put my own twist on it.

Grid layout and Easel Card

I am doing the weekend crop with crop chocolate and it is SOOOO much fun!! The first challenge is a grid layout, so I used the ever beautiful, Katie as my muse. The second challenge is a riddle that we won't know what to do until tomorrow. The third challenge is an easel card, and the fourth is a letter craft. Here is my LO and easel card.

Also, you may remember that a week or so back, I won a soul-scrappers challenge for my baby shower invitation. I got my prize today!! Here is what my awesome host sent for me:

Christmas 1998

These pictures make me miss my family. I live so far away, I never see them. I can't believe Christmas is almost here again!! This year has sped by.

Crop Chocolate

I know I've mentioned this before, but Crop Chocolate is one of my favorite websites to buy crafty stuff from!! Now they are planning a cruise in March!! I hope everyone comes with me!!!!!!! I wish they had a blinky, but you can get to their page from the link in my favorites!

Cody and His Mama

These are some pics of Cody and me around his second Christmas. I love pics of Cody at this age. He was such a sweetie.

Cody and more hats!

Okay, knitting has become an obsession at work. I have tons of ideas and I just can't stop!! Here is a LO I made of cute little Cody in the bath. I miss those years!!
