Scrapbook Layout - The Little Things I Love

This is a scrapbook layout I did for cropchocolate.com as a chocolatier. I used Fancy Pants "About A Girl" papers and my Making Memories Slice machine for the title. My journaling (which is under the photos in little "pockets") talks about why I love the things I do. TFL!

Scrapbook Layout - You Are My Sunshine

Made this LO about my daughter for Stuck On U Sketches using Fancy Pants "Love Birds" collection that I bought from cropchocolate.com!

Christmas Time

Oh me, oh my. I'm not so good at this whole blog thing. I'm working on it though!!! Promise!!!

So, since my last post, we were contacted by the mother of my husbands twins. Perfect timing! Must of been the Christmas feeling. But we are both so excited to have a chance to talk to them and get to know them. They're so grown up now! We got a recent picture and it was shocking (in a good way!) They're down in Flordia, which is about 21 hours south from where we are, but we hope to visit them soon! My husband turns 30 in a few short months, so maybe I can plan a birthday party in FL.

In other news, my December Daily has stalled. I've taken my pictures, but I haven't been very diligent in getting them in. But I did make up kits for my dear s.daughters, and personalized small digital cameras with their names. I'll post pictures after they get them! Never know where they might pop up ^.~

It's been so exciting around my home!!! The kids love Christmas. Silas turns three just a few days after, and the whole "renewal" thing just makes us all feel good. And the lights! Oh, lord, Sienna SHRIEKS at the lights as we drive down the road! It's quite entertaining. But we still haven't gotten our tree up. Working on that tonight, darnit!

And my first school semester is finally wrapping up. Thank goodness! It's been fun, but I'll be glad to have the "beginners" experience over and done. I know what to expect, and can take the next semester head on! I did awesome on my finals, though, so it wasn't all bad. =) Four classes in spring!

And the one year anniversary for missing my aunt Mimi just passed. It's hard to believe she's been gone a year. We think about her every day, and try to keep her memory and traditions alive for her son and our children. <3

That's it for today. I WILL be back more frequently!!!! =) See ya then!

Introductions

Hello, hello. My name is Lauren! SO glad to have you stop by today. Here's a little about myself before I kick off this blog of mine!

I have been married to an AMAZING man for a little more than two years now, and been together nearly 5. His name is Jason, and he's my match in every way.


I am a mother of three wonderful children! Jacob, 4.5, Silas, almost 3, and Sienna ("Ninna"), 18 months. They keep me active and on my toes, and I love it. I am also the step-mother of two gorgeous ten-year-old twins that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting. I certainly hope that changes soon!

I own a small print and copy shop near my home town in Virginia. We're PDQ and it's quite an adventure! We can do just about anything you need, and ship! Website up soon, and I must say, I'm not above advertising. Hehe!

I am in college for the above-mentioned small business. This is my first semester, but so far I'm enjoying it immensely!

I am a scrapbooker and papercrafter! I have many albums going. I'm def. a moment scrapbooker...love to remember those little moments that are so often missed. I'm working on a new project that I hope to sell in my shop and share here.

Besides that, well...I'm 21 years old. Life moved fast! Hehe. I'm a little classic, ad a little scandalous...and never afraid to share my opinion. I love people - learning about them, talking to them, listening to them. I life my life to music, it's always been a vital part of me. I love love love to cook. Veggies are my favorite thing to experiment with! I adore reading, curled up in bed or in my soft leather chair, with a blanket and hot cocoa...any time of year! I am all about living life, and I hope to share that with you. I'll talk about a lot of scrapbooking, a lot of family...some friends and work thrown in, too. Please feel free to contact me - here, in my email, or on facebook.

Thanks, and I hope to get back to you soon!
