this photo pretty much sums up how we're feeling this weekend.   photo from last summer it's the weekend, and we have nothing going on. first weekend without soccer in a while. on traveling, no games. we slept in this morning. well, i did. we had sarah's soccer team pizza party last night, and 3…

this weekend was all about these girls. two full days on the soccer field. four hours on the road. and four games played.   every now and then, you land a great team of girls. girls that mesh together on the field and off. and manteca revolution was one of those teams. joe took on coaching the under 12's…

i've been back from CHA for over 2 weeks now, and am just now getting around to sharing a little about the trip. this is partly because i didn't take any photos. shocking, i know. so many of the other girls had cameras, that i left it to them. since we've been back, i have…

since i didn't get around to making any valentine's day projects this year, i'll show you this one again. because i think it's cute. and because it's the one valentine decor item that i happen to put out this year.   hope you all have a happy valentine's day, filled with lots of love!

i shouldn't say we're headed back to the soccer field. because we never really stopped going. lol! the regular season ended back in november. and then sarah went straight into all-star tryouts.   it's not actually called "all-stars". it goes by another name. but that's really what it comes down too, and makes more sense for those…

first up, i had a layout up on the pebbles blog yesterday. a pretty simple layout, with super old photos of the girls.   i used a mix of pattern papers from the new arrival boy collection, the twitterpated collection, and the treehouse collection. i layered together flower stickers, chipboard flowers, and paper flowers, and made…

creating keepsakes has a new special issue out, called the best of digital scrapbooking.   digital scrapbooking. i'll be honest. it scared me for a long time. seemed very overwhelming and totally out of my comfort zone. but i eventually gave in to the trend, and tried my hand at some digital layouts. and you…
