I HEART Washi Tape!!!!!!




I have been addicted to washi tape for quite awhile now and am slowly building up my collection! I love how easy it is to use and can dress up any project!! Cutetape.com has an amazing collection and I can't wait to get my hands on some awesome products. Not only do they have a kazillion styles, sizes and colors of washi tape they also have the cutest dispenser and other scrapbook and non-scrapbook related products. I would certainly have a field day and my cart would definitely fill up fast if I won.

Here are some projects where I have used "wash tape":

I used a TON of this black and white polka dot washi tape in this mini album I made!

An old college friend lived in Japan for awhile playing professional softball and while she was living there she sent me the best package ever. The majority of these tapes were from her, how lucky am I :)

So head on over to Cutetape.com and take a look, I am sure you will get addicted and Heart Washi Tape too.

Y'all have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!

Pregnancy Update

Hi y'all,

Definitely feeling pregnant these past couple of days :(. Hope it doesn't get as bad as my first pregnancy. I haven't been in the mood too work on anything these past couple of days because I have been really tired and have been very nauseous. Hopefully I can get back too work soon, I miss it already. I have my first sono on Monday can't wait, it's going to be weird this time because my husband went to everyone of my doctors visits last time and he won't be able to go this time. My doctors office doesn't allow children over the age of 1 in the waiting rooms, we have no one to watch the baby so I will be solo at all my visits. Maybe he can go to the important ones!

Go Vikings, they play tomorrow against the Saints. Its going to be a good game, winner goes to the SHIP. I'll be watching talk to you guys soon

Big News!!!!

Hi Ya'll

This week has been a very good week for me, we found out we are expecting our second child. OMG, we are so excited. We wanted to get pregnant this year so our children can be close in age, but we didn't expect to get pregnant so quickly. We had a hard time getting pregnant with my daughter, thought it would take just as long with our second but boy was I wrong. Went to the doctors on Friday to confirm and told our families on Saturday. The EDD is sometime in Sept. will know for sure on the 25th with the first sonogram. I will definitely keep my blog updated with the pregnancy, so I have something to look back on. Hope you enjoy 9 months of baby talk.

Pregnancy News:

I expected I was pregnant because I have been extremely tired, more the usual. I remember with my daughter I was so tired I slept all the time, I took pregnancy test and it came out positive. What's funny was I just took a test the week before and it was negative, so glad this came out positive. My lil sis is pregnant too, I never thought we would be pregnant at the same time. She is due in May and she is having a baby girl!! Going to be busy with her shower stuff so be expecting lots of stuff coming up.

I am so excited about the new baby, we are hoping for a boy this time. We have nothing but girls in the family so maybe we will get lucky and have a boy. We'll See, all I really want is a happy, healthy baby!!!

I am not having any other symptoms besides fatigue. I am really hoping I don't get sick as much this time, I lost 20 pounds because I had morning sickness 24/7 till my 3rd Trimester. It wasn't fun at all but I got used to it. We'll see what happens with this pregnancy

Be back soon with more, again hope you enjoy the journey.

Hugs,
Mari


BTW: GO VIKINGS!!!!! Hope Brett comes out with a victory over Dallas

Well there it is my very first mini ever, I liked the way it came out. The album came with a tin case but it was too fat to fit in it when I was done. She really liked it when I gave it to her. Yay!!

A Lil' Intro

Hi everyone, thought I might start with a lil intro of myself for my very first post. Where to start, well I am a SAHM and have been for the past year and a half. Love being at home with my beautiful daughter, who will be turning a year this month. I am married to a wonderful, handsome, man who supports my in every way possible.

I enjoy playing softball and volleyball, played a little softball at TAMU-CC for a couple of years. Still try to play softball with friends as often as I can.

Another hobby of mine is scrapbooking, love doing anything crafty. I have been scrapbooking for about 5 years now. Started out making the traditional scrapbooks in the post-bound albums but have recently discovered mini album. NOT too sure if I like the idea of my work not being protected by the page protectors, but am definitely loving the dimension of the mini albums. I try and scrap as much as I can, but my daughter has kept me really busy this past year. I just started up again creating stuff and haven't stopped. I do most of my work at night when she has gone to bed. Love being in my scraproom for hours, creating and listening to music.

There's a lil of me for now, be back with more soon.
