Our Prince

Here's your baby Allison. I hope you like it.

My Two Favorite Younger Sisters

I saw the word art that is on this page and I knew immediately who it was describing. I am so greatful to a mom who has all the images that I need/want already on the computer. Enjoy.

A very early mother's day present...

I saw the middle picture of my mom at 5 months old and I decided to find pictures of all of the girls at about the same age, I faded the pictures of the girls so that they wouldn't over power my mom's picture. I also added the framing around the girls by making a new page and using the eyedropper tool to get the color from the edge of the middle picture to make them match a little bit. Kind of simple but I like them better that way.

(Allison the ribbon comes from a free kit on Ikea goddess's webpage the link is www.neverendingfairytale.com/scraps it's the purple princess kit )

My very first attempt at Digi Scrapbooking

Well I don't think I did too bad. It was very fun making everything work together and getting it just right. I am now going to go download more stuff.

Digi Scrapbooking

Well after being idle for... a long time, I have finally found something that is interesting to blog about. What is that you ask....

Digital Scrapbooking!

While we were in Utah (see my mom's blog) Allison showed us some digital scrapbooking things that she was doing on her computer. She also said that the program that my parents had gotten her for christmas was on sale at Costco. My mom and I were both interested but didn't commit to getting the program. Well while we were driving home (we were just outside of Park City) We decided that we would really like to have the program for the home computer. So I called Allison and asked her to buy the program and have it shipped to us. Well this was done and it made it to our house by Monday (wow that was fast, it was even in Eagan before we were.) So I have been collecting lots and lots and lots of papers and elements during this last week. Tonight I am hoping to finally make a scrapbook page, and since I have nothing all that interesting of my own to scrapbook I will be using a lot of my niece and nephew and my sister who is on her Mission in Australia. Look for a completed page in the next day or so and let me know what you think.

A few of the sites where I found some cute things:

I blog like I journal

I thought I might need to put something up since I last posted about my trip to Utah that happened awhile ago. Not much is new in my life. I started a new school year and I have been working in the Salon for one year. It's pretty crazy to think that I have been licensed for a year. It has been fun and a learning experience.

On another note, Emily left on her mission and is doing well. We look forward to her emails and letters. I put a counter on my sidebar counting down the days until she gets back. Feel free to anxiously wait count down with me for the next 518 days.

Utah Trip

So I'm a little late blogging about my Utah trip, I have been home for about two weeks. I left on the 21st of March and got home on the 26th. Not a long trip but a much needed break. Thanks to my Sister and my Brother-in-Law for letting me come and visit them. It was so fun to see them.

Getting there was a bit of a pain, the night before I left it was a little snowy, not much just a light coating the next morning when my Mom opened the window there was about two inches on the ground covering everything. My flight which was supposed to leave at 9:25 am didn't leave the ground until 11:30. I finally arrived and it was gorgeous weather pretty much the whole time that I was there.

Saturday the 22nd was Nathan's birthday so in the evening we went to the Gateway Mall and I took Sofie and met up with Kristina. Kristina and I had a great visit and we got to catch up which was so nice.

Sunday we went to church then had their neighbors, The Cox Family, over for dessert and games.

Wednesday evening we went to the Lion House for dinner and then Allison and Nathan went to the temple while Sofie and I hung out at Temple square. We went to the North Visiters center where Sofie charmed all the sister Missionaries by pointing to all the pictures of Jesus and saying his name. A huge thanks to the Deseret Bookstore for letting Sofie and me hang out there for a while.
