I think the day she found out she was pregnant I asked if I could throw her, her shower.....we just had to wait until we knew what she was having.....because like me she just has to know. Well she found out she is having a little boy and he is going to be named Noah.<br /><br />I also asked if I could make he shower invitations....she said sure...and so this is the result. Of course when I first took the pictures and was ready to post I realized I had all her information on it including her phone number since it is going to be thrown t her house....so I had to retake the pictures.<br /><br />She is doing Noah's room in browns, greens and blues....so those are the colors I tried to stick with. I showed them to her today and she loved them....so I guess as long as she is happy I did a good job. <br /><br />Hope everyone is having a great night....I'm off to make dinner....Hugs, Brandypenbrandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352583539625303445noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355810236145169024.post-77896963235533260862011-01-04T10:41:00.000-08:002011-01-04T11:25:55.609-08:00My Pink Stamper Call For Designer's<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjokuQupweTTbrPF_nrKd4hSc84jj1EMSzTeEGpkgeKtrO-ur226iT_94QGK36OP7swJp5nvczCR9y-2T2OIe4aGK2xebDG5hw-JZULsQ_KsaFDnsJlKfMstpL1pVdkX7bBMeQrv39I-wc/s1600/DSC_0073.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjokuQupweTTbrPF_nrKd4hSc84jj1EMSzTeEGpkgeKtrO-ur226iT_94QGK36OP7swJp5nvczCR9y-2T2OIe4aGK2xebDG5hw-JZULsQ_KsaFDnsJlKfMstpL1pVdkX7bBMeQrv39I-wc/s320/DSC_0073.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558403137805204434" /></a><br />Robyn over at My Pink Stamper has two openings for designer's on her design team....so I thought that I would take a chance and enter.

First, thank you sticking with me!! My hope is with the new year I will be able to fullfil a few goal I have for myself, one is to be more decicated to my blog thru posts and videos. In 2010 I started making videos and I want to make more, so that is what I am going to do. My second goal is to get back to the basics....and by that I mean scrapbooking....I seem to have forgotten why I started this craft to begin with. I am so far behind and with each passing day I get farther behind. I would like to become a bit more orgainzed....I would also like to practice using my Cricut Cake more....I feel like I rushed to buy it and am now afraid to use it. So these are just a few of the things that I am going to work on this year.<br /><br />A lot people don't know that I am a shy person and I tend to hide from people, I find it very hard to make friends. It's nice to have an outlet to say how I feel and to share what I love.<br /><br />I know that 2011 is going to bring changes.....some I can handle and and some maybe not but I will take them all one day at a time.<br /><br />So may this New Year bring you health, happiness, hope, peace, wealth, joy, and most of all love.<br /> Always,<br /> Brandypenbrandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352583539625303445noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355810236145169024.post-2994138429793306932010-12-23T13:51:00.000-08:002010-12-23T16:43:40.389-08:00Merry Christmas!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSK95eZQAGSl5ZOaJHeEoJMhumnEdpE2bGQGEq6IpIeCOxQLGLIodf59vJCBxkme8mtvz4KySfENxvJ8E_YYjT9Vvtf5EnbthFivI6kinpwknZew0dosT1EfhiFDNqBgCDqhTR0Zowf0/s1600/DSC_0061.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSK95eZQAGSl5ZOaJHeEoJMhumnEdpE2bGQGEq6IpIeCOxQLGLIodf59vJCBxkme8mtvz4KySfENxvJ8E_YYjT9Vvtf5EnbthFivI6kinpwknZew0dosT1EfhiFDNqBgCDqhTR0Zowf0/s320/DSC_0061.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553999073192281074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimRLbmhmx7fDHAaRQfwk6xdRP9QYi2larKQUE7GaYyqCDUZa7AIRbAMubPuq5oKHxknebqSlZ-mkJ1hXONsAm8yAhWk99QBypykURfEMh4ve_rJLSLJnbmDy6f2RIWhKlfziGOEs0awYI/s1600/DSC_0069.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimRLbmhmx7fDHAaRQfwk6xdRP9QYi2larKQUE7GaYyqCDUZa7AIRbAMubPuq5oKHxknebqSlZ-mkJ1hXONsAm8yAhWk99QBypykURfEMh4ve_rJLSLJnbmDy6f2RIWhKlfziGOEs0awYI/s320/DSC_0069.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553998863343344626" /></a><br />Merry Christmas!!<br /><br />May everyone have a holiday filled with love, happiness, and family.

He is also my best friend...not many woman can say that....I'm one of the lucky few.<br /><br />I'm thankful for the health of my family...we have been very lucky. As Thanksgiving gets closer I get more excited....what started as a small dinner has turned into a big family affair and I can't wait!!! We went from having 7 to having 20....it is going to be fun!!<br /><br />And then the best part is the day after...Dean and I have our own traditions...we love Black Friday shopping....so we will be one of the crazy people out there shopping in the middle of the night....<br /> HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU!!!<br /> BRANDYpenbrandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10352583539625303445noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4355810236145169024.post-34512440973766613512010-11-17T15:39:00.000-08:002010-11-17T16:00:27.631-08:00Wacky Wednesday #16<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIBTXDIOOcZXDl3BkHcI5PGe74A5azH33WnXNIz0nr7ZCKKBgLloAGGYVkZrmUv7CFVWClFxwNGlv_TvFJwx3CCXvSH5gSulEFpbwJNqZvR_LN07HxARxnSei72t2RmCUJG2GnfHiWT5g/s1600/DSC_0369.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIBTXDIOOcZXDl3BkHcI5PGe74A5azH33WnXNIz0nr7ZCKKBgLloAGGYVkZrmUv7CFVWClFxwNGlv_TvFJwx3CCXvSH5gSulEFpbwJNqZvR_LN07HxARxnSei72t2RmCUJG2GnfHiWT5g/s320/DSC_0369.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540667917570538642" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0nQ_xes-l7Cq84RPe-L536-zO0fMn5aFhSHcKKEsJtUq6IAoRt3cFVV_MAkZ8Qu_Tf6Qm4P_8PM-ZThFchj_zMo4KycrzrimGV4zOyMVVl3aLypOovChJpwMex4_2ZnZWRoBLwyU3UA4/s1600/DSC_0368.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0nQ_xes-l7Cq84RPe-L536-zO0fMn5aFhSHcKKEsJtUq6IAoRt3cFVV_MAkZ8Qu_Tf6Qm4P_8PM-ZThFchj_zMo4KycrzrimGV4zOyMVVl3aLypOovChJpwMex4_2ZnZWRoBLwyU3UA4/s320/DSC_0368.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540667691089264162" /></a><br /><br />I think that this is my favorite card so far....I love this time of the year...I love being with my family...I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner and I love Black Friday shopping (I know crazy)....I made this card and the candy bar for my son Nikolas' teacher.
