Well the November stamp set of the Month is called All Decked Out and it is the cutest snowman ANYWHERE!! I am in love. Here is a layout that I created for my December clubs. I love it and it is the Aspen paper pack that is featured in the layout. I painted on the right side for a journaling block and I sanded a scored frame on my Twilight Card Stock.

So today has been pretty boring. But Dan and I were able to watch the Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton and that was pretty good. I am posting another picture of some artwork that I did. This one is from Halloween and the only thing that is Close to my Heart is the background paper. I tried to do just a cicut page and I have to say that this is one of my less busy pages I have made in a long time. I am letting it grow on me. At first I was really missing the Background and Texture paper that I have fallen in love with from CTMH but now I like the simplicity of it. Enjoy.. I am off to make some White Chicken Chili.

Well it has been about a year and half since I last blogged. I have thought about it but have not kept up with it. I am still teaching mathematics at Parkway North High School and my boys are now 4 and 2. I am still scrapbooking and stamping with Close to my Heart and I am busy keeping up with the scrapbooking and trying to get my Christmas Cards completed.

I think I am going to start using this blog site for its actual purpose. Stay tuned for creative inspiration and me blogging. Have a great weekend.

Well now Josh is 1 year old and Caleb is 2 1/2yrs old. Josh is running after his brother and trying to tackle him. Caleb has had a rough month. First he hit his mouth on a window sile and moved two teeth back. After $168 in dentist visits his teeth are back in place and gray. : ( The next incident infantigo on his face. It is a staff infection that is dermis. It looked like chicken pox without the itching. Caleb is a trooper however. Josh has had a good month. He turned ONE and got new clothes, toys and money for his birthday. Caleb didn't know what to think about that.

My twin sister moved to St. Louis with her family. We have seen her so often that it is starting to be a weekly affair. Not that that is bad it is just different. We used to just hang out on the weekends but now we are constantly getting together with family. I think Caleb and Josh are a bit tired of running all the time. But they do enjoy the company of Carolyn, who is almost a big sister. My twin is due in the next few days. Yeah!!!

Well got to go. Will post later. JEN

Josh is on the MOVE!! HE is now 5 months and crawling. Well somewhat crawling. He rolls to his next location or to the desired object to chew on. When he crawls he still can't pick up his big "Mueller" melon, but he puches with his knees and feet. Caleb is loving being a big brother. Caleb is now starting to interact with Josh more and we have caught Caleb several times laying next to Josh saying "Hi Josh, Hi Josh"....oh so cute!! The other night Josh giggled at Caleb every time Caleb came by him and gave Josh a hug. We took video and they must have been playing for about 30 minutes doing that. I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!

Ok so Jessica my wonderful and adorable twin sister (get the compliment for myself...), broke into my blog and wrote the last posts..BAD GIRL!! Anyway it was ok most of those things are true..I won't say which ones aren't but you can use your imagination. We did have a "Mama's Night Out". We went to Macaroni Grill and had dinner and a few drinks (boy can my sister put them down). Afterward we went to the Tim McGraw and ....who was that other singer.....oh yeah Faith Hill. AS you can hopefully tell we were looking at ( I mean forward) to Tim McGraw. It was soooo much fun. Hopefully it won't be 5 ten years before we do that again.

The best sister EVER!!
So many people don't know but I have a twin sister and she is absolutely amazing. Not only is a great mom to the most beautiful little girl I know (aunt jenny loves you Carolyn) but she is also a great cake decorator (she's making my oldest son's 2nd birthday cake today!) and she is always there when I need her which is priceless really. No but really she is great. She has supported a husband who drags her around the country and thankfully he is getting closer to family now but still 5 hours away is a bit long with young ones when they are trapped in a car. She makes new friends just about anywhere. Although she is having a bit of a struggle in Indiana. (if those Hoosiers don't love you sis...come back to Missouri). What a great sister! Not to mention, she is beautiful (did I mention we were twins?!?) Well anyway, we're heading to a Tim McGraw and Faith Hill concert tonight in celebration of our birthday in August. We're getting older but it is so refreshing to know that I'll NEVER be as old as my twin sister (she's an hour and half older and always will be). Well that's my update today. Hope you enjoyed reading about how cool my sister really is. I'm out...Jess...whoops I mean Jen.
