Three Years and Counting...

I'm am so very excited to say that as of today, Clint and I have now been dating for three years!! Wow! It's so unbelievable! It just comes to show how three years can fly by so fast! Our relationship has grown so much this past year and I know it will continue to. We have had a lot of life changes this past year including college, jobs, cars and weddings. It has been a great year and I am so grateful that God has kept our relationship so strong while living 700 miles from each other these past 2 1/2 years.

I wanted to share a scrapbook page that I did awhile back commemorating our first date which was Clint's Senior Homecoming. That day doesn't seem so long ago, yet three years have past. It's so hard to believe that within the next couple months, we'll both be graduating from college. I love you, Clint! Thanks for being an amazing boyfriend!

Creating Keepsakes September 2006

I just wanted to share with you my most recently published page. Vanessa Hoy, an editor at Creating Keepsakes, asked if I would scraplift a page for the Six Degrees of Scraplifting article. It was so fun. I copied another lady's page and then the amazing Joy Uzarraga scraplifted mine. Also, Clint and I's cute faces made it into the table of contents at the beginning of the issue. The second time my face has been in the table of contents! Go check it out if you get a chance!

Bachelorette Favors

So, Miss Priss on Two Peas wanted to see some more up-close shots of the favors I gave to the bride and bridesmaids at Hannah's lingerie shower and bachelorette party. These are clear mini paint cans that I embellished with ribbon to match the color scheme of the party. Inside of each bucket was Hersey's Nuggets with a label that said Hannah's Bachelorette Party. For each girl, I picked out a Bath and Body Works lotion, lip gloss and Victoria's Secret panty that matched their personality. I also got these great kraft color notepads at Target (2 for $1.99) and decorated them to fit each bridesmaid. It was so fun. Click on the photos to see them larger. Thanks for looking!

Back From Texas

I got back from Texas this past weekend, and I had a blast! It was so nice to get to hang out with Clint for a whole week. It went by way too fast! We did so much in one week. Clint and his band Lifted^ have been working on recording their songs for a demo CD. I took pictures with Clint and Ross worked on laying down the guitar track for their song Abba Father. After awhile, Clint let me help.






That Friday night, they played at the Rock Bottom Cafe. It was such a neat restaurant and Lifted^ put on an amazing performance. I had a great time taking photos. I was really sad to come!

A Glimpse of the Lingerie Shower

On July 7th and 8th, I threw my best friend Hannah a lingerie shower and all-night bachelorette party. All of the bridesmaids and Hannah's mom attended. We had a great time, and I had so much preparing and getting ready for the party. I wanted to share some photos from the fun night.



These are favors that I made for each of the bachelorettes. I added ribbon to the handles of these clear paint cans. Each girl received a notepad decorated with their name on it, chocolates, lotion, lipgloss and a Victoria's Secret panty. I had so much fun buying things for each girl and putting them together.


Hannah's sister and maid-of-honor Kelsey and I put together this Honeymoon Care Kit for Hannah and Brendan. We loaded it with goodies such as a sundress, bath stuff, tanning oil, a Just Married tank top (that I made), flip-flops to match her bikinis, halter top, Creme Savers, tropical trail mix and other fun stuff!

I designed this tropical Do Not Disturb door hanger and a matching CD with honeymoon songs entitle Love in Los Cabos. This was inside the basket that also matches the colors of Hannah's new apartment.

I made wine charms with stamps and shrinky dink for each person's wine glass.

After the shower, all of us bachelorettes heading down to the basement and watching Just Married and Down With Love, two of my favorite movies. We had a great time!
