I'm baaaack! :)

I know, I know...it's been a long time since my last post! I had a couple of you ask why I hadn't updated the blog. In a nutshell, we had a crazy week and a half with the guys being sick.

Carlos came down with a TERRIBLE stomach flu that had him literally in bed from the Friday before Labor Day to Tuesday. He was out of bed last Wednesday, but still not strong enough to go back to work. But, that's when Landon got sick and didn't get better for 24 hours. I thought I escaped it, but then this weekend, on Friday I got the stomach bug too. Because of Carlos' "near death experience"...we were not able to visit his parents in El Paso.

Now we're all healthy and trying to stay that way.

This weekend I hosted a baby shower for Natalee Hahn, (friend from 9th Grade)who's scheduled to have her baby boy, Brody Michael on 10-09-08. I'd post pictures but, I used her camera and she hasn't sent me any yet.

Here are a few pictures of things I made for the shower. The first is one of the place cards I made, which when they took them home will serve as a picture holder. The second is a book that I made to keep all of her cards she receives for the baby in his first year. We punched holes in the cards at the shower and she's already got a cute place to store them! I'll post a slide show of more decorations when she emails me pictures this week.

This opens up like a book...there is another board on the back to sandwich the cards.
Today after church, I tackled a project that I couldn't get to last weekend with Carlos feeling sick. I put up some vinyl decorations in the Master bedroom and Landon's room. Below you'll see the before and after behind our bed.


Landon was glad when we finished, so he could get back to his jumps from the headboard. When he leaps he yells 'To Infinity And Beyond"! (from Toy Story)

We put up two adhesive vinyls in Landon's room. They don't damage the paint and pull right off when you're ready to change them. I can't wait to start ordering some holiday vinyls to decorate and make fun stuff to put up around the house!! My next project is on a 12x12 tile!! :)

Have a great week and feel to drop a little line in the comments to let me know what you think of the vinyl. By the way I bought it from Uppercase Living. They have a catalog online. Let me know if you want to order something.
