Some Pink Paislee and a local crop

I am ready, sweet friends, for bird and the bees talks for a girl, age 5. I have been getting a lot of questions lately about babies and how they are born and how they get in your belly, etc. Right now she thinks that babies start from seeds and when they are done growing, the mamas go to the hospital where the doctor gives her medicine and cuts open her belly.

gah!

I'm not sure how long this one will last! I don't know where the baby talk comes from, except that Morgan has this Eyewitness book about Skeletons that she looks at alllll the time, and there is a photo in there of a baby inside a skeletal womb, which has her quite concerned because the baby is laying in there upside down, lol.

Anyway, while I commend her inquisitive brain, I also want to make sure I answer all of her questions appropriately! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, lol.

Other than that, life is moving along. I'm the registrar for Morgan's preschool, so we are in the middle of preregistration, etc. Morgan is off to Kindergarten next year and Payton will be starting preschool, so I will now be shuffling kids around between schools and activities. Perhaps it's really time for the minivan! I drive a Durango which works fine, but not if a friend wants to tag along with a carseat.

I've been wanting to be more involved with ladies in my community, so in an effort to help out my local scrapbook store, a friend and I are organizing a crop next door at a flooring store. It's a really pretty setting and I"m sure we'll have a lot of fun.

One of the things I was in charge of was the flier, so I thought I'd take a chance on Jenni Bowlin and purchase one of her new digital kits. I'm a hybrid scrapper sometimes, which means I can print stuff out and cut it up, so digital scrapbooking is NOT my forte. After about 2.5 hours I came up with this:


It took me forever! Seriously!

I really like the digital elements so will probably print them out and play with them soon. I do like how this turned out though.

Speaking of which, I think there still might be a spot or two left, so if you are in the Bend area this weekend and want to scrapbook, you should check us out!

Suzie has a lot of stuff to give away; I think we are giving something away every hour. I also have a goodie bag for each person, with NEW stuff from Pink Paislee! I'm also including a sketch and an example layout in the goodie bag. These bags have all the product you need to recreate the layout, plus a few extras. One of the things it will include is a brand spankin' new sticker book. woot!

Before I go I wanted to share a couple of Pink Paislee projects with you.






I really love the orange die cut paper from the Captivating line. I have used it a few times since this layout.... including the April kit from Studio Calico.



This home frame was on the Pink Paislee blog on my March 4th post. The 4th is always my date, so if you are ever looking for me on the blog, that's when you'll see me.



Have a great day!
