worth mentioning

What a great great weekend we had.   The weekends together really make me feel so filled up and just plain lucky to be..., really I don't need much more than that and even more I'm so glad I can say that.   I truly hope that I'm able to instill that in the girls and they can feel the same way every day.  I think I learned that or discovered that happiness inside when I found Marty.  It all started then and I  believe that is how I knew.  I knew life would never be the same and it wasn't.  Granted as husband and wife, life is not bliss all the time, but I could never go a day without him in my life.  Ok, so I really didn't come here to say that...

You know sometimes as moms, we forget to love our children's fathers because we spend so much time loving our children.  I don't think it's intentional, but really it's not what I want.  So I try to be sure to take time for what matters and that includes making dad feel loved.

In other news:  today marks something new for Art Warehouse.  Art Warehouse can now be purchased for digital scrapbooking and projects at Designer Digitals.  We've released a few images and there is a lot more to come, so tell your friends and if you make something...send me a link.  I would love to see it.   So many  possibilities with hybrid and digital scrapbooking. You can check out the first release... HERE

for Mellie...even if at 2am it's almost 24 hours later....

We went out of state for Easter to my sisters.  It was sort of unexpected, but good all the same.  However, we have never been there for Easter before.  After having several weeks of beautiful weather and the shorts and flip flops were out in full force, the winter backed up on us and we had 8 inches of snow the night before we left for the holiday...ick.  So I put the sweet sun dresses back in the closet and went for something warmer for our Easter weekend.  There was nothing spring like about it where we are.  So egg hunts in the house passed just fine for the girls and you will see from this picture...it was all about their cousin's game cube.  It was really kind of funny to see them both so glued to the tv playing this...a LOT!   

BTW, they are predicting another 8-12 inches here again in the next 24 hours....blech...the poor tulips, and spring trees and wheat has no chance.

Aren't these the prettiest?  I just wanted to share them and say thanks to the sweetest group of ladies who made these for me, for my birthday.  Melllie and the gang from Our Personal Treasury Board, you really made me smile.  I have them right where I can see them from my studio table.  THANK YOU!

I have been beyond busy...haven't been online in ages.  Haven't surfed, need to catch up.  I miss my favorite blogs, which I haven't even been to. I almost missed all the excitement with Ali's challenge and badge for Autism.  If you haven't joined in, the badge will continue to grow.  What a great thing!  I think the people that are a part of this creative industry truly are the most generous and passionate people I know. 

If you won one of the prizes for my new CHA stuff before CHA.  I have not received the products yet.  So I believe I should be getting things in the next couple of weeks.  Fresh and Vibe were slated to ship late March and I think they are trickling in to the warehouse.  Just wanted to update in case you were one of the winners.  Shouldn't be too long now before I can ship things to the winners.  Cool.

If  you are close to Iowa, I'm going to be there for classes at the end of April at Memory Bound.  I'd love to see you there.  It's one of my favorite stores...worth the trip.  The girls are going with me and staying with my sister for the weekend, not far away. 

I hope to catch up here on my blog this week, so check back.
