flashback...

Lots to love today...well tonight...

Finding the time to blog about all that's happened the last week has been a bit hectic. So I decided to throw it all in one.

I had a great visit to JJs house last weekend...although the flights were hard on me physically...it was nice to get a break after being locked in my house for two months. Photos and vintage finds and restaurant scrapbooking(to be explained later).

Our first day..we went to an estate sale...I went thinking I might find a few little house items to stuff in my suitcase...but no...I found...a closet FULL of clothes that were vintage and just my size. So as requested...I am showing a few of those outfits...This was my favorite I think...a dress that has the coolest pattern and this purple bead necklace...Skyler took these photos before church yesterday.

I also got this vintage shirt and I wore it home. I had 3 people ask me if I was in the music industry on my flight from Nashville...to which I replied..."I wish, I'm a scrapbooker". Needless to say they did not ask for an autograph. I love the big bow...I also got this shirt in black with white polka-dots:)and the shades are from my friend Liz's SHADES OF SUMMER...but I decided to make mine fall. Also...Madi had her first "right of passage" I guess you could say...I was on the phone with Rhi Rhi and she came in the room and I thought "something looks off"...it was her bangs! THEY were off...she gave herself her first haircut...and it was quite good actually. So I took her with me to get her first haircut:) I actually love her little pixie bangs...she does too...she was so excited to get her haircut...she kept saying "thank you mommy!"

So it was a fun week...and I could've posted earlier but I am realizing it is much healthier spending time with my children...and making things rather than worrying about blogging about them. So look for longer posts from now on:)

Also...there is a new prompt up at "The Art is Found" come play with us!

And lastly...I have ended my "leave of absense" with LUXE and they have tips and techiniques from a page I did back in June up on their blog...HERE.

I am looking forward to scrapbooking again with a fun attitude and with no rules.

Still working through my illness but with a better outlook now...new docs, new meds, new results:)

Right now I'm watching the HEROES premeire...so nerdy...but I'm diggin it. I have so much more to say...but maybe another time. Until then...

Happy Monday Ya'll!<a <a

GIRL!
SHUT UP!
That dress is to D-I-E for!
And it's perfection on you.

Could I borrow your cute bod and that dress for just one day?!!
{sigh}

HELP! I am a fashionista trapped in a chubby girl's body. LOL!

You're gorgeous.

Yay for vintage finds! I loooove that blouse!!!
And dude... I did the same thing when I was Madi's age. I was trying to explain to my mom how I wanted my bangs. And she wasn't getting it. So I went to the bathroom and cut "sideways bangs," only what I did was take the scissors and make a stark angular cut across the front of my hair. She Fu-REAKED out! haha Sounds like you took it much better than my mom. :)

I know what you mean. It is so easy to be addicted to the internet. In general, in life too. Some things can easily become a priority over the things that actually matters the most. I don't want Calum to remember his mom blogging about him. I don't want him to remember me being at Church placing other people before him. I want him to remember the hide & seek playing parties we used to have. Those cuddling times. And plenty of other quality times. Kids are growing up way too fast. We might just well make the most of them!

You're pictures are beautiful. Your kids are gorgeous. So are you.

Hope you have a lovely day.
