8:52 Looking up

I can't believe it's Friday already! Is it really the 8th week of the year already? These weeks are seriously flying right by.

I hate to admit it but, I am a little antsy for this winter be over.  I'm ready for spring.  I'm ready for the warmth of the sunshine.  I'm ready to pack the snow gear away.  But more than likely a lot of it has to do with knowing  we'll meet our new little one in the spring. 

Things are looking up around here. 

I've been noticing the sudden gain on day light again. Loving all this light!

Looking forward my brother's wedding next month. Just the husband and I are going!

It will be a much needed break from work for the both of us. 

Head on over to see what's looking up for Jessica.

Have a great weekend!

7:52 Cabin Fever

Cabin Fever makes up this equation A + B = C for me.

Laundry

+ gray winter days

= ah, something new and fresh.

Now head over to Jessica's blog next.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Last week Ryan got off early on Friday.

So, we decide that we'd celebrate our Valentine's day a little early. 

I sure felt like the lucky-est girl around.

Dinner & pie + this man = pure happiness.

Pretty bad. Must mean we don't get out enough.

Last night he surprised me with roses in my favorite color.

Feeling mighty spoiled over here!

Hope your day is filled with love and shared with the ones you love!

Make sure you check back tomorrow and join us in our weekly photo hop. 

6:52 Work of Art

Last weekend in the early hours of morning, my sister and I loaded the still sleeping kids into the car. Our goal was to be down on the Turnagain Arm to watch the sun come up over the mountains. It was beautiful! Right up my alley for enjoyment. A little cloudy but defiantly worth the time! I have more photos to share with you later. We even drove a little bit farther south to see what else we could see. Mother nature I hope will always amaze me! We had to stop so I could yet, again pull the camera out and snap some more pictures of these iced waterfalls. 

Head over to Jessica's blog to see what her work of art is. 

Girl birthday card

One of my favorite card sketch designs.

I find myself coming back to this design again and again.

Simple. Fast. Easy.

Wordless Wednesday

Happy Birthday Card

Meet today's card.

Birthday wishes card

A week or so back I was in the mood to make some cards but also in the mood to visit with some friends. So why not both? I sent out a few messages. Nothing can top making cards with friends! Our kids even played so nice with each other. Always an extra bonus!

I hope we'll have this opportunity to repeat this as often as the craziness of life allows.

Saturday Fun!

We found these great glasses at Michael's today! 

We bought them so we could make some sort of 100 on the cricut and add them to the glasses. Nolan is celebrating 100 days of school next week and we thought the glasses would be great. 

I foresee more photo ops with them too.  

We're having lots of fun with them.

5:52 Black and White

Is it already Friday?

This week whizzed right on by for me. It has been a very busy week for this house! A little too busy. But maybe a good distraction to the husband working tons of hours right now. 

I do have to say, that I am very glad the weekend is here! 1 that we get to sleep in the next two days. And 2 my husband is told he will have Sunday off from work. He is very happy for the Super Bowl this year!! 

Here's a few favorites from this past week that I also liked in Black & White.

I made a goal for the month of January to organize a few targeted areas: front entry way. scrapbooking stuff. office desk area. main desk area. paper work. clothes. bookshelf. I believe I hit all the areas minus the bookshelf. My friend and I built the bookshelf back in October! I finally got around to painting it this week. Only 3 months but who's counting? I don't know if I can get on the husband for projects that don't get done right away now. He hauled the bookshelf in for me last night and I can't wait get our book mess organized. 

Now to pick a new goal for February.....

Were changing up the circle a bit this month so head on over and see what Jessica's got next.
