Hi everyone,

Rosalie's 4th B-day Book

Hi everyone,

I was so excited about finishing my first mini album that I was inspired to do another one right away.  So I was thinking of doing it like documentary daily for my daughters 4th B-day this Halloween.  So for the first day, I finished the main books and already picked and pasted the cardstock to the chipboard book.  As you can see on the slides I used the Mariposa premium pack by DCWV.  I love this pack, so beautiful, and would look great for my daughters first mini book.  I'm excited about this and I just hope I'll finish it soon before Thanks Giving.  Being 7 month pregnant and two kids and a husband who is away, its pretty hard for me.  So, I'll take this day by day, so I hope you like it and follow with me.  So, that is it for now, and I'll see you again tomorrow and I'll post pictures of what I have so far.  Bye...

Shopping too much!!!

My goodness, Joan and Michaels has such great discount that I bought so much stuff.  My husband is going to kill me...But it is so worth it.  I am like a little kid on a candy store when I am in  these stores.  I have received some of the stuff that  I ordered on line and started using them on my first mini album.  I am waiting for my Big Shot!!!  I have a Cricut Expression, but decided to get Big Shot for embossing, so I'm very excited about that.  Anyway, had a great time shopping, and I was going to take pictures of it, but I don't want my husband to see what I bought so, lets not produce evidence hehehehe.  Well, I'm also hunting for the right camera so that I can post videos on Youtube, since the one we had broke.  So, hopefully tomorrow I'll find what I am looking for because I would really want to have it before my daughters birthday on Halloween.  I know, yes she was born on Halloween!!!  So its a very special occasion for the whole family and my mother we'll be visiting to so many things happening.  I'm just so sad that its taking me so much time to put some pictures.  Sorry again.  Hopefully soon.  Untill then,

Trying to catch up...

Well its been a while.  I have not been here due to me being pregnant.  With 2 kids and husband living for his military duties.  My time has been cut short.  I am really excited because I'm learning and watching others create mini albums, and it has inspired me to start my own.  I was never really into mini album and I really don't have a reason why, I have always been a 12x12 layout kinda of gal, but from watching others from Youtube, I find it really great and wanting to start my own.  So I'm working on one right now, and it keeps being on hold because I'm waiting for my other items to arrive.  So it should be done by November and hopefully I'll be able to post it in Youtube also.  Also, I'm excited because I'm trying out many Tim Holtz products and I feel like a newbee in scrapbooking world because I have never tried distress.  I know shocking hah?  But I'm happy and its just difficult to move around with my big stomach. 

In my personal side, I have finally got my kids (6 yrs old, and 3 yrs old) to sleep before 8 pm.  Due to night being early now, they tend to sleep early too, so I hope this is the beginning of sleeping early, specially with one coming on the way.  Not only with my pregnancy coming up, but we are also in the process of moving out of military housing, so after the holidays, everything has to be packed up and moved to another location, and you know what that means, I'm going to have to rearrange my craft room.  As for those of you, you know how pain in the neck can that be.  But its okay, I'm excited and looking forward to this next move and hopefully permanent this time God welling.  Anyway, sorry I have no pics to show but just wanted to share my thoughts for tonight.  Untill then, see you next time...

My Own Gypsy is here finally!!!

My Gypsy is finally here...  Can you believe it?  I'm so excited about this thing specially with new cartridges coming out and with the holidays coming, so much projects and Gypsy is really going to make it way easier and way fun doing scrapbook projects.  It was so funny because when I first turned it on, there was so many cartridges in it that I thought I got lucky, will it turns out, it was just a test, can't really use them unless you link them.  So I was just a tiny bit disappointed, but that is okay, I have the cartridges that I want and buy the others that I don't have yet.  Anyway, I'm just so excited and thankful to my husband who is crazy enough to indulge me with my addiction of scrapbooking.  I'm still waiting for a couple of things and my new Cricut Imagine and once they get here, I'm going to really be busy.  I know many of you scrappers are probably starting your projects.  So far my Gypsy is not giving me trouble, and I pray it stays like that.  Okay, stay tuned and I'll update more projects along the way...  Oh by the way, the bundly that I received with my Gypsy was included a new sleeve, car charger and extra stylus for only $160 and shipping free.  I got it at Creative Express.  It was a great deal...So if you are interested go there before they run out.

Blog - My Scrap Haven

Blog - My Scrap Haven: "Well, this is my 2nd day of fixing the site. I'm no expert but I'm trying really hard to make My Scrap Haven a nice site that reflect me. It is very time consuming specially with two kids and one on the way and a husband who is in military that is in deployment. Not complaining because it is what I want to do and hopefully not fall apart. Keeps me busy. I love it and I am hoping that I will make more friends through this site.

Today I had my 24th week of my pregnancy doctors appointment. The doctor says everythig is good, which is great and I'm praying that this pregnancy will go all the way to full term since both of my babies were premature. I'm excited because I know that this 3rd baby is another adventure in my life and in my family. My kids are already excited and continues to ask me when the baby will be coming home. Even my husband is anxious because with my other two babies he was gone for most of thier baby years. Please pray for my safe prenancy terms.
Did I mention that I have a wonderful husband who is crazy enough to love me and my addiction of scrapbooking? Tomorrow my new Gypsy will be arriving. I know most of you guys probably have it, but I was just so worried buying it, but I finally decided to buy it and my husband agree since what ever I want he usually gives it anyway. So yay!!! So excited and hopefully nothing goes wrong with it.
Okay, I'm going to fix the site some more and hopefully I finish it before this baby comes home because there are so much to do and so much layouts to do now that holidays are coming."

First Day...

Okay, this is my first day of bogging, so please do not hate or misunderstand, I am an avid pc user, its just being a wife, mother, and a woman, time is not on my side. But, I have so much on my mined that I want to let go, and I think blogging is the way to go. If you are asking what made me start this, will, like I said, sometimes I just have so much going on or nothing at all that I just want to share, my thoughts or emotion on what ever is going on with me...personal or not, its me you are reading and no one else. I am very excited and hopefully this will let go of some of my stress, heheheh I doubt it.

Anyway....

first thing I want to say is that, I am about to turn 30 soon. Now I know you might think that it is not a big deal, and believe me I am not one of those people who are so caught up with themselves that they make a big deal out of nothing. But for me, turning 30 is really an issue, as for any of you that knows me, I am young at heart, and I love being in my twenties. Common, twenties is the age that you feel you can really let yourself go and not worry about so much because people will be a little easy, but when you are in your 30, for me it feels like you really have to kind of holding yourself back, because at this age you pretty much have responsibility that gives you no excuses. You make a decision and it will pretty much have a big impact on someone around you. So, am I scared turning 30? You bet your ass I am, its just because I love being in my twenties and I am just not ready to let that go, how ironic right?
