Chloe is 19 months old!!
I just realized that today is the 29th...our little Chloe is 19 months old, today!! :) I started a post a few weeks ago with an update on everything she's doing now, but I lost it :( I'll try to post again soon with all of the cute things she can do and say ;)
Until then...here is a recent pic from this month. Tim took us out to eat at Uncle Gio's and snapped this shot of Chloe :)

Wonky blog :(
LOL I just realized that my last three posts all had the word "Ugh" in the title!! Too funny :p
Sorry the blog looks all weird...my previous layout messed up, somehow, and my blog wasn't showing up at all, so I had to do the change over to the updated template...I am NOT happy with this...grrrr :( I'm thinking about moving back to my Word Press blog...I really don't enjoy blogging much anymore, so I don't know...we'll see.
The kids are back in school now, and they have just completed their first month in their new school :) They are really enjoying it, and we are very pleased with the school and teachers, so far!
Chloe is ALL over the place, as usual ;) She is so hilarious...
I don't have much by way of updates...I can't think of anything new that is going on, at the moment, so I guess I'll end this post here :) lol

Ugh...
*le sigh*...I can't believe I am turning 32 tomorrow...I swear I am still 16-18 in my brain!!! LOL So crazy :(
Sorry...just had to vent... :p
My sweet Dianne sent me a gorgeous bracelet!!!! I was SO surprised because I haven't really been thinking much about my birthday, until today. I'm kind of trying to forget it so I can say...oops...I forgot...I thought I was still 31! LOL
You know what? One really cool thing coming up with month has to do with Dianne...it will be the 6th year that we have known each other!!!! I met her back in August 2001, shortly after I broke my ankle :) She kept me company through email and forums while I was stuck on the couch for 9 months, and I got to be one of the first to hear that she was pregnant with her third child!! It was so much fun...I just LOVE that gal :) <3

Ugh...I'm sleepy!!
Chloe woke me up around 6am...we've been hanging out here in the kitchen for the last hour or so. She's been enjoying drawing with a pen, lately, so I broke out the large Crayola crayons a little bit ago, and I when I opened them I said "Wowwwww", then she said in an amazed and whispy voice "Wooowwww" heehee ;) She does this whisper that is so cute...we've found that when she says "Josh" she likes to whisper it, and when she says "Abby" which is "Babby" to her, she likes to say it loud and clear! LOL
Time for more coffee...I am baby sitting today and will need all of the energy I can get! ;)

Chloe is now 16 months old!!
She turned 16 months, yesterday! She's getting smarter and cuter, every day...heehee ;) She now can show us where her nose, eyes, hair, teeth, belly button, and piggy toes are!! I heard her talking to her toys, this morning, and she was saying "Hi! Oh, hi! Hi there doggy!" except "doggy" was "goggy" lol She then said something like "Hi! How are you?" and she was talking in the uppity sweet voice that we use with her all of the time...most of it is probably only things we would understand...everyone else would hear jibberish...lol
Tim has some new photos of Chloe, and I just LOVED the crop of this one from the 4th of July, so I had to scrap it ;) The background paper is from my Solidified {one} paper pack, and everything else is from Shabby Miss Jenn's Old Cabana Kit :)

We went to Chuck E. Cheese's!
Tim worked from home today, so I had the van, and I decided that it would be a good day for Chuck E. Cheese's :) I wanted to take the kids at least once, this Summer, with a few of their friends. Josh had his friend Edmundo with him, and Abby had her friend Perry come. This was Chloe's second time to go to Chuck E. Cheese's, but she was so little first time, so I'm saying that THIS was her first time...heehee ;) She got to ride on several of the little car rides, and I put her on the one with Chuck E. Cheese that take photos...she rode that about six times! The two photos below are the best ones :) She kept leaning on Chuck and putting her arm around him...it was too sweet!! She really enjoyed seeing all of the kids playing and all of the pretty colors and animals dancing. The kids all four decided to put their tickets together and ended up with a little over 1,000!! They split them up and traded them in for a bunch of little goodies ;)
Chloe has been walking every where now...it's very rare that she will crawl! She's too adorable :)
If you click on the photos you can see the larger versions ;)

Just a quickie...
Chloe's canine teeth are starting to come in! The ones on the top have started popping through already, and I can tell the ones on the bottom will be here in a day or two :) She isn't fussy or anything...in fact, she's in a really good mood! She's also walking around even more!
Oh!!! She has her very first baby doll now :) One of my super sweet online friends (Miss Digital Couture) sent Chloe three packages in the mail...one of which was a "Little Mommy" baby doll with a huge accessory set, from Fisher Price!! She came with a bouncy seat, a carrier, and this cute little ride-on toy. She also sent a Dora video, a Leap Frog Word Whammer, and 2 of the Pigeon books...Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog and The Pigeon Has Feelings Too :) It was pretty much Christmas in July for her!! LOL We had also purchased this Little Tykes Handle Hauler for Chloe, that day, so she was quite spoiled this week...heehee ;)
The Digi Chick has debuted a new look!! We have a new owner too...the fantabulous Miss Kimberly Giarrusso!!! :) I have a new collab kit that I did with Digital Couture...she did the elements and I did the papers ;) I'll link it up later...I need to scoot, for now!! :)

Chloe is walking more!! :)
It is SO cute...Chloe keeps throwing her little ball toys over the gate in the kitchen and I throw them back into the living room, and she turns around and WALKS to them...she's doing SO well!! :) Just had to post this so I don't forget it.
Oh, and she didn't get to see many fireworks...she was in bed by the time they started. She did wake up in the middle of the night, scared, and jumped every time one went off when I took her outside to see what all of the noise was. They shot fireworks off until midnight or so...not cool... :P

I am too far behind!!!
I can't stand it when I forget to blog, or just don't feel like updating for so long, and then have SO much to remember to post! lol
Alrighty, first things first...Chloe has been taking a few steps, here and there!!!! :D She started around the second week of June, and took about 9 steps this last weekend! She is SO proud of herself when she does it...it's adorable ;) She is figuring out how to crawl up onto the couches too, which is scary!! She's also really saying "Josh" and "Babby" a lot now...it's funny how she puts the "B" in front of Abby's name! lol She is saying things a little more clearly than she was back in April :)
The kids are enjoying getting to play with their friends, this Summer :) I've also have been teaching them how to dust, vacuum, sweep and mop. I'd like to teach them about laundry too, and emptying and loading the dishwasher. Abby is pretty much enjoying the cleaning...Josh, not so much :(
On the scrapping front, Elemental Scraps got a face lift, and TheDigiChick will be debuting a new look AND Xcart in just a few more days!!! I'm working on getting my products added to the new cart...fun-fun :p I have a few new products in the stores. I've started a new line of solid papers called "Solidified". They are all on sale for 50% off through July 8th, at Elemental Scraps:
I also revamped a paper pack from a few years back:
I released a new paper pack at TheDigiChick too, called Dusk:
I guess that's about it, for now...I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff!! lol

Two new products and a sale! :)
Elemental Scraps is having a storewide 50% off sale April 17th through April 19th! I've added two new products to the store, today...
The first is a Digi-Duo that I did with the fantabulous Digital Couture...I did the papers and she did the elements...it was a wonderful match-up for both of us :)
The second item is a new paper line I've decided to pursue called "Altered Ego"...{Envy} is the first installment...
I have a few other things started, but nothing is really near being finished. My collaboration kit with Heather Roselli will be debuting at TheDigiChick THIS Thursday!! Again, I did the papers and she did the elements...I love it when it works out like that...LOL Here's a sneak-peek:

Halfway through April already?!
This month is just flying by! I figured I better get in here and update before I forget the things I want to remember...if that makes any sense...LOL
Chloe:
She's crawling all over the place, and is pulling herself up into standing position VERY easily now. She also learned how to sit back down without hurting herself...YAY! lol She was doing the free-fall method to get back down to the floor...pretty scary to watch and painful for her! She's started saying "Thank you", "Here you go", "Ball", "Ma-Ma" or "Mommy", but she still calls us all "Da" or "Da-Da" from time to time. She's also tried saying "Josh" and "Abby" too :) She has a stuffed flamingo that Abby is letting her use, and she's learned that it is a flamingo, but just can't say the word yet. I asked her where her flamingo was, earlier today, and she turned around and got it right away :)
Changing her diaper has become a BIG project, lately...she's always twisting her body around and trying to crawl away from me! She's not nearly as patient as she used to be, and get SO upset and throws herself backwards doing that scary jerking motion, when you tell her "no" or take something from her. I know it's pretty typical at this age, but wow...she does get really dramatic, sometimes!
Tim and I had our 12 year anniversary on April 4th :) He took the day off from work, my friend Diane watched Chloe for us, and we spent the morning and early afternoon driving around in his little Miata...it was a BLAST!! I wish we could do that weekly ;)
Abigail and Joshua went to get their eyes checked, this last Monday, and they both need glasses. Abigail actually got her's on Wednesday, but Joshua's haven't come in yet. They are sooooo cute in glasses...and they are very excited about wearing them, which is a BIG relief for Tim and me :)
There is another Mayor's Art Show coming up on April 26th, and Abigail will be in it again! We are planning on getting there ON TIME, this time...last time we were a bit late and missed quite a bit of the ceremony :(
I have a new kit coming out, this coming Thursday!! Heather Roselli and I did a collaboration, and I'm SO excited about it...I did the papers and bless her heart, she did ALL of the elements! I'll post a preview once it hits the store ;) I also have another collaboration kit in the works with Digital Couture from Elemental Scraps! She's an element DIVA, and I'm SO looking forward to seeing how our styles will mesh...she's pretty funky, so I think it will be awesome :)
I think that's about it, for now...I'm probably forgetting some stuff though...silly mushy brain :(

New Chloe Mini Kit :)
I got this uploaded last night, but I was too tired to post about it! I'm glad I did stay up any later...Chloe had a pretty rough night, last night...I'm thinking it might be all of the sugar from the birthday cake that kept waking her up! Needless to say, I'm zombie-esque today...*sigh* Anyhoo - New at my Elemental Scraps store:

Happy Birthday Chloe!!!!! :)
My baby is now officially ONE year old...*sigh* I can't believe it!! I took her to Walmart to purchase cupcakes for her little "party" that we'll be having tonight, and found those adorable little mini-cakes! I bought a white one with colored sprinkles for her, and a #1 candle to put on top :) I picked up a six pack of cupcakes for the rest of us to enjoy. She really enjoys riding in the shopping cart instead of her carseat now...she can see everyone so much easier, and enjoys smiling and saying "Hi" to people! It's so cute ;) She has her two top teeth coming in, so her smile has changed a bit...heehee! She is ALL OVER THE PLACE now...her crawling is pretty much perfected, and she started pulling herself up into standing position while we were at Nana and Popa's, last week! She'll probably be walking in a few weeks...time sure does fly :(
I watched Elmo's World with her, yesterday morning...she really seemed to enjoy it! She has a little Elmo hand puppet that she hadn't played with in a while, so I found it and gave it to her...she was excited to see him and started jibber-jabbering to it! LOL She even tried to give Elmo some of her juice :) I bought a little cardboard Elmo book for her, today, and will give it to her tonight...I think she'll enjoy looking at the different Sesame Street characters...that is, when she's not busy chewing on the book! LOL Also, she's been trying to say "Josh", lately...it comes out more like "shhh" than anything...lol She's also tried to say "ball" which is "bah" and "pretty" which sounds like "ET" :)
Spring has for sure sprung over here...It's amazing how quickly the plants and trees bloom and get full-on green! We got quite a bit of rain, yesterday, so I'm sure that will help finish the growing process for a lot of our plants :) I've been enjoying the Spring weather...but not the Spring insects!! We have quite a few wasps, yellow jackets, and carpenter bees around the house now. Tim has had to kill a wasp for me twice now...eek! The carpenter bees are super cute though...they just fly around us, hovering, and watching our every move! LOL
I have a new kit that I'm trying to finish up...the elements are slowing me down, as usual! I have another idea in the works too, but I haven't had the time to start it yet :(
Anyhoo...Chloe is up from her nap now, so I better skedaddle and get her diaper changed ;)

We're baaaack...
We had a pretty good trip...the drive there and back was NOT fun...Chloe just didn't do well with being in the van for 13 hours :( Abby was sick for most of the time too, so that was boring for her. I loved seeing my family though, and wish we lived closer to them :(
I'm trying to get caught up on cleaning, laundry, and other schtuff...Chloe is sick right now with some tummy thing, and is extra fussy :(

I'm headin' out of town soon!! :)
I'll be driving down to Texas, with all three kiddos, THIS Friday!! I'm so excited to see all of my family again, and that Nana & Popa will get to see little Chloe before she turns 1...which is on March 29th...this year has really FLOWN by for me :( She is just such a hoot though... She's already pretty sassy...mainly when you do something she doesn't like...she just flips from being super happy to super upset...it's pretty funny, but scary at the same time! LOL I hope she doesn't end up being too much of a handful, as she gets older!
Anyhoo, I'll be gone for a week. The kids Spring Break is this coming week, so we'll probably head back home the following Friday or Saturday, so we can have Sunday to rest before they had back to school.
Speaking of school, I'm still going back and forth on whether or not I should home school them. We've applied for open enrollment at this other middle school that is where my friend Jen is zoned for. I've heard good things about the school, and it is FOR SURE better than the stinky one that we are zoned for here. I should find out sometime soon if the kids got in or not...it was a first come, first serve kind of situation with the applications. If they don't get in, then I will for sure give home schooling another try...but if they DO get in, I'm thinking of giving that middle school a try first, and if things just aren't working out, I can try home schooling. Abigail enjoys school, and doesn't mind going...Joshua is the one who really dislikes going, and also most of the kids that he is around everyday. Since this is in a different school zone, maybe it will be a better group of kids...or they could be complete snobs...*sigh* ya never know... It's such a hard decision...I don't want the kids to miss out on the socialization, and I don't want to "mess them up" academically! Ugh...
So, other than preparing for my trip, and worrying about school, and being sad that Chloe is almost a year old, I've been doing a bit of designing. I have a new paper pack coming out at TheDigiChick *hopefully* this Thursday...I was a day late submitting it, so it might not make the cut! Here's the preview:
Oh!! I also have some new Creative Team members...these gals are AWESOME, so far...they are active in my forum, and their layouts are wonderful...they've been a great addition to my already fantabulous team of girlies :)
I went out and did a bit of shopping, yesterday...Babies'R'Us is SO dangerous...LOL They have THE cutest clothes, at reasonable prices! And oh my...the toy department was awesome...Manhattan Toys has this adorable line of cirucs themed toys that feature these funky colors and whimsical animals...*drool* lol I ended up purchasing this bowling set for Chloe. The picture on the website just doesn't do the colors justice...it's overly saturated...they aren't that terribly bright and neon-like :P I also managed to find a PINK umbrella stroller!! :) My usual stroller is HUGE, even when folded up, and I need all the space I can get for the trip to Texas! I like the pink...again, it is prettier than the website picture! lol I really had my eye on this funky one though...it was just too expensive :(
Well, I better skedaddle...I've been doing laundry ALL day, and have just about made it through all of the loads! I did about six today, and have one more to do, and a HUGE pile of ironing...I despise ironing...LOL I want to get a good amount done though, before the trip, so Tim won't have to wear his pajamas to work :P
Alrighty...I'm outtie :)

Just a few things...
I cannot believe that my little Chloe is 11 months old today...this past year has gone by WAY too quickly :( She's sick today too...*sigh* The kids were home Monday through Wednesday with sore throats and upset stomachs. They went back today, but Chloe is now coming down with something and has been running a fever and fussy. The poor baby *tries* to be in a good mood, but she really struggle off and on, today, and did quite a bit of crying, which is very unusual for her :(
I'm having another CT call!! Details are here :)
I contributed to a few mega kits, this past month, and they have both hit the stores, today!!
TheDigiChick's is a "Free With Purchase" special...
And Elemental Scraps is a HUGE kit in a really funky color combo...I loved working with these colors ;) Not everything is shown in the previews...there's WAY more than what you see below...
That's it for now...I really need to get off to bed...I have a feeling tomorrow will be another long day...*sigh* Nighty-night!! :)

Flip Side :)
I posted a new paper pack today...this one is nice'n'grungy ;)
I also went ahead and separated my Twisted kit into pieces...that's the way I do it at TDC, and want to do that at ES too...I just STINK at fitting all of my papers and elements into ONE preview!!! :P
We had a great family night, tonight :) We ate a yummy dinner, and then played "Picture It". "Picture It" is a cheapo game that I got from the Dollar Spot at Target...it's pretty much like "Pictionary"... Anyhoo...I've got to write this down so I don't forget it!! It was Josh's turn to draw, and he didn't know what the word meant, but kept drawing cattle. We finally were saying the word 'herd' and he kept telling us it was 'herd' plus something else...we just couldn't get it, and he drew more cattle and a man on a horse. Finally, we gave up and he said "Yeah, the word is 'hurdle'..."!! We all started cracking up laughing at that one...we were trying to guess for a few minutes, and it was just too funny that he lead us down the wrong path!! LOL Ya had to be there :P
Alrighty, I'm going to skidaddle off to bed!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday :)

Some exciting things...heehee! :)
I've got quite a bit going on, right now...and all of it is GOOD :) First off, starting tomorrow (Feb. 20th - Feb. 26th) my Frolicking kit is being featured at DiScTalk Radio!!!!! In honor of this *special* event, all three pieces of the Frolicking kit will be on sale for 40% off :) You can click on the pictures below to get to the individual products...the sale begins on Feb. 20th, and will run through Feb. 26th:
Secondly, the loverly Christine Smith, and I, have done a collaboration kit together!! I really do not enjoy making elements, but she does, so I did the papers and she cranked out the elements to match! It was a GREAT pleasure working with her...she's such a sweetie :) Our kit is called Delightfully Diverse, and it will be hitting TheDigiChick's store, this Thursday! Oh, and it will be 20% off for Thursday only ;) Here's a peek for you:
Thirdly, I have one more happy tidbit of news to share, but it will have to wait until tomorrow...I've been sworn to secrecy!! ;)
Oh!! Chloe said "Uh-Oh" for the first time today!! She said it SO clearly...it was adorable :) She also got up on her knees to crawl for a little bit...she usually does the army crawl, so this was pretty cool ;)
Alrighty, well, I must skidaddle off to bed!! The kids are heading back to school, tomorrow, after being off for five days straight! They had a snow day on Thursday (even though there wasn't really much snow), Friday was a sick day, and today was a holiday...fun fun :) G'night! :D

Last November
Happy Saturday!! I'm SO glad the weekend is here...it was nice not having to get up at 6am! Although, I did have to get up a few times to give Chloe her binky ;)
Josh lost one of his final baby teeth, Thursday night!! He only has three left now :( He and Abigail have grown up so quickly...*sigh* His friends came over to play, last night, and had a great time running around in the freezing cold, with their air pellet b-b guns (I'm not sure how you would spell b-b! lol). They are going to come back over, today, so this house will be pretty loud in just a little while! ;)
Anyhoo...there's a new paper pack over in the TDC store, and I'm going to be re-releasing my Fiesta! paper pack (which was originally at Shabby Elements) along with a matching element pack :)

Slacker...
that's me!! Man...can you believe it is February already?!! *sigh* Chloe is doing the Army crawl now, and can also push herself up into sitting position! She turned 10 months on Jan. 29th :) I also noticed, last night, that her 4th bottom tooth is coming in...so far there aren't any on the top. She needs to slow down and stop flying through babyhood so quickly!! :(
It finally snowed here today! The kids got to stay home from school, and ended up playing with the neighborhood boys, ouside in the snow, for a good hour or more. They then came in to play and WHEW-WEE!! Stinky, wet, boy socks...totally grodeeee!!! I went around and sprayed their feet with air freshner, but it still didn't work...LOL
Anyhoo...it's been a pretty good day. Dianne and I had a little chat, and decided to go ahead and pull my stuff out of Shabby Elements...I rarely get to post anything over there, and really, Shabby Elements is HER baby, so now I'm down to one store...much easier to handle :) I'm going to rework some of those products and possibly release them over at TheDigiChick...some of the old stuff could be great, if it were just updated a bit!
So...I have a few new products in the store today! Of course, I never got around to posting the last round of products either, so this post will be kinda long :P Here we go...

A Rendezvous Paper Pack:
