A quote for your week #95

I know I need to be reminded of this often! Just keep this in the back of your mind, and you'll be sailing through your week like a pro. :) 

A quote for your week #94

True story! So pick yourself up and march on! The finish will be just that much more rewarding in the end. :)

A quote for your week #93

Over the weekend we were able to collect some special moments. The girls played outside in the sandbox while I got in some much needed time gardening.

When I took this picture Trin said "this is a nice volcanoe because it doesnt interrupt." I started giggling, but she couldnt understand why I was laughing. I first thought it was funny that she thought ppl who interrupted wasnt nice, but then when I realized she meant that it didnt ERUPT it became even funnier. :)

Can I just say I am LOVING instagram? So glad it became available for android. I have been extra excited about making a blurb book with all the photos. :)

My favorite filter is RISE, bt I do wish it had a border or frame. :) What about you, what filter do you find yourself using the most?

A quote for your week #92

LOVE this!!!! :) I've said it a dozen times... but I am not a rain lover! :) I live in the desert-ish part of WA, our climate is fairly comparable to Colorado. We only have about 6-8 inches of rain a year, but we also average over 300 sunshine days a year! :) You would think that with so few rainy days I would really appreciate when we do get them... but honestly I just do not care for the rain. It makes me depressed! So- this quote/phrase... is definitely a good reminder for me. No matter how gloomy of a trial you may endure, the sun always follows. It may not show up as quick as you would like... but you can be sure it IS coming. :)

-p.s. The 72 hour Buy 2 get 1 free sale ends at 4:30 PST. It applies to my etsy shop. :)

Have a great monday everyone! :D

A quote for your week #91 + Easter

Hello!! How was your weekend? The weather was beautiful here! Actually felt like Spring FINALLY. :) We had my niece over to spend the night on Friday and Saturday I took them over to my moms to color eggs and meet up with my sister.

I think it is safe to say the glitter eggs were a big hit!

Of course on Sunday they had a blast hunting eggs. :)

I really have a bunch of pictures I need to edit... family pictures and pics from the last couple of weeks! I'm about 2 weeks behind on project life! Gotta get back in there before I feel to overwhelmed. Been SO glad I've kept up with it as far I have!!

Also- I need an official post shouting from the rooftops my excitement for instagram finally coming to android... but how cute is this pic I took with instagram?

I also managed to get in a self portrait! ;) So... yeah I'm loving instagram.

oh- and before I forget, today is the last day to grab the vintage camera overlay set at 50% off. Use code OHSNAP.

Hope you have a spectactular Monday! :)

A quote for your week #90

"THE BEST WAY OUT IS ALWAYS THROUGH"

-ROBERT FROST-

Happy Monday!! Boy does it EVER feel like a monday too!? The weekend really flew by... but then again, when dont they? My cousin came in for the weekend and I asked her to take our family pictures. Well, of course it rained all weekend... we decided not to let the weather get the best of us, and we decided to work with what we had... and Shannon did her first ever lifestyle photo session. :) Despite my stressing over being unprepared it was fun. :) We read books in the living room, and baked mini fruit pizzas in the kitchen. She loaded the pics onto my computer and I'm still having fun editing them... but I did post one to facebook on Saturday:

this next one is so Jaydon (my husband) plus Journeys expression cracks me up!

We (like most families these days) are a very techy family. Jaydon had suggested we take a non-traditional kinda funny spin on a family photo.

The electrical devices that simplify our lives sure can complicate it too, huh? :) Definitely have to walk that fine line to keep them from consuming our lives! :)

So, we really had fun. Jaydon was off Friday so Shannon (my cousin) and I went to the mall and had a blast just goofing off. Always nice to have no curfew to get back to. ;)

This week I'm listing a new overlay set that plays really well with the vintage camera printables.

and I'm also listing a new printable set with animal faces! This week! :)

:) I have more then a few other projects in the works too! :) But you probably already knew that? ;)

How was your weekend?!

A quote for your week #89

Today I'm putting my own spin on a quote I found on pinterest a few weeks back. I LOVE it. :) I want people to spend a little time with me, and feel inspired, uplifted, and overall happy. :) Not saying I dont have a rough day every now and need someone else to be that person... but overall I'm striving my very best to be a positve enabler. ;)

How is your Monday going? I have a mile long to do list today, and I'm checking things off like craazy!

-Monday quote blog post... CHECK!

I have a seond blog post (showcasing some of Friday's newly released goodies!) on my to do list too.... lets see if I can get to it!

A quote for your week #88

I really LOVE this quote! "Diamonds are made under pressure." :) When life seems far from a picnic.. push through.... and remember you are sculpting yourself into a beautiful diamond. :D

Today I'm feeling un-inspired and very very lazy. :) The weather is kind of gloomy... and daylight savings time has really messed up my routine! :) I did push myself to walk 2 miles this morning... but it was hard! I'm hoping to find my groove again first thing tomorrow morning! I know I'll appreciate the longer days, but adjusting sure can be hard when you have kiddos, who are fairly routine with their schedules. :)

What do you think of daylight savings time? Do you look forward to it or dread it? It does make me anxious for Spring...

A quote for your week #87

Believing in yourself is half the battle... but once you manage to get that down, I think everything else comes a little easier. ;)

We had company over yesterday.... and the girls played dress up... and I managed to snap this picture and it makes me giggle EVERY time I look at it!

She looks just like a bug. But  a very cute fancy dressed bug. ;) We've also had spring like weather on saturday which allowed us to go outside and play! Which is good... because my project life album needed some variety!

I was going to snap this picture of the two of them sitting side bys side. Trin saw me ready to take the picture and leaned into Journey like this... she is such a sweetie. :)

How was your weekend!?

p.s. I'm a little behind on my e-mails, but I'll get them tackled today! :)

A quote for your week #86

Super important to remember!! :) Hope your Monday is monday-errific!! :)
