For the Love of Animals!

My children are the opposite in many ways but in one way they are much the same...stuffed animals.

It all started with Brooke. She got her first kitty from Papa Don and Grammy Marsha on her first Christmas. We celebrated in Virginia. Since that time she has collected over 20. Although she doesn't insist on sleeping with them every night anymore, she does still have two of them that don't leave her side!
Ty found his love of stuffed animals in the form of horses, not kitties. He has also collected many. His favorite part is twirling his finger in their hair. It has saved my hair from being pulled out by him many times! He has three horses that don't leave his side. One is a huge horse blanket. I did have to cut their hair a bit as he got his finger wrapped so tightly in their hair that it cut of the circulation to his finger.
I just love my babies : )

TTT December Kit Reveal

Hey everyone. Hard to believe it is January already. Christmas came way too fast this year with Thanksgiving being so late. I certainly don't feel like I had enough time to enjoy to holiday season! Yet, it was a very blessed and wonderful season! I had some time during my break to catch up on some scrapbooking for TTT and Gotsketch!

Here are a few layouts I created with Transparent Touches Dec Kit #2. I loved the paper in the this kit. It made creating layouts a breeze!

This piece of patterned paper was perfect for adding pictures from Christmas with our family.

And this was another easy piece to work with as all I had to do was add the picture and a few extra embellishments! We took this family picture at the horse farm.
And the calendar paper was perfect for remembering family we visited with during the month of December!
This is the layout I created using the sketch given to the Design Team. We had beautiful weather over Christmas break and spent one evening at the beach!

I created a monthly scrapbook with the acrylic album that came with the kit. I plan to take a picture of the kids together each month throughout the year!
And here is a layout I created with Bella Blvd.'s Christmas Wishes. I used a TTT transparency on the bottom left corner.
You will have to wait to see the Gotsketch layouts I created until after they are revealed. I can't wait to see what January has in store for us!

TTT November Kit Reveal

For these layouts I worked with TTT's November Kit #1:

Here is one of Brooke with our neighbor Lily right before trick-or-treating:
Here is one I took on our field trip to Cypress Gardens and in our neighborhood:

Here is one of my favorite pictures of my family:
And here is one from our cruise overseas. We are in the Roman Colosseum, in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and on the ship:

12 Days of Christmas

Happy Holidays! The Countdown to Christmas has started! Starting Monday, December 5, Got Sketch will bring you 12 days of sketch-based Christmas projects. You can check in out at Got Sketch!

I have already finished one project which I am super excited about based on one of Val's sketches. I can't wait to get started on the next one!

Holidays

I can't believe tomorrow is December 1st! But it doesn't come before celebrating my 36th birthday today. I am reminded every day of how blessed I am to have such a wonderful family and group of friends!

The Greenman clan will be busy as ever this December. I started my December Daily album to record every step! I have a lot of scrapping to do and I am truly enjoying working with Valerie Salmon and the whole Gotsketch Masters team!! You can check out my sketch revisted layout here: http://gotsketch.blogspot.com/2011/11/sketches-revisited-sketch-6.html. And you can see the new graphic banner of me that Val created!

I'd have to say the highlight of my month was Michigan's win over Ohio State and this picture I got of my beautiful and handsome family:

My mom was here last week and we enjoyed a week of baking cookies, decorating the house, and visiting Scirocco everyday on the farm. He has become a big part of our family and I love watching Brooke learn to trust him more and more each day. She wouldn't even stand 10 ft in front of him and now she picks up his hooves to clean out his feet!

I wish all my friends and family a blessed holiday season! May Santa be good to you : )

My mom will be coming down next week and I am SO excited to scrapbook with her! I will be sure to share our creations!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

We're back!

What a whirlwind adventure Adam and I had on our overseas cruise. The sights were AMAZING and I loved spending time with Adam. The trip back wasn't as wonderful but hey, we made it! It only took 43+ hours!

This Monday my horse will be coming down to South Carolina from Michigan. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I can't wait to get back to that part of my life again...riding! What a blessing.

My mom will be here for Thanksgiving and I can't wait to decorate the house for Christmas and make Christmas cookies. This is my favorite time of year.

I will post pictures from our trip this weekend. I still have ALOT of catching up to do!
