Moxie Fab World Guest & Giveaways

Good Wednesday morning! I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far. This morning I woke up to the sound of thunder and rain. I can just see the edge of the storm loft though so I'm hoping for some sunshine soon! Either way, I'm sure today will be a great day!

Recently I was invited by Cath Edvalson, the Creative Editor of Paper Crafts magazine, to be a guest on the Moxie Fab World blog for her Ask Around feature. The interview went up today and I am so honored that Cath asked me to be her guest. Thanks Cath, and thank you for all the wonderful things you said about me! :) I'm seriously blushing!

Now for the "giveaways" part of this post. If you go leave a comment on the blog post at Moxie Fab World you will be entered to win one of three copies of Easier-Than-Ever Scrapbooking 2, a special issue from Creating Keepsakes.

As an added bonus, I have a giveaway here on my blog too. I'm going to give away one Summer Soiree Acrylic Stamp set. This is currently my favorite stamp set from Fancy Pants. I love the fun, bold, summery designs!

Just leave a comment on this blog post and you will be entered to win the stamp set. Only one entry per person. You must live in the continental United States to enter. Entries are due by midnight EDT on Sunday, July 19th. I will post the winner on Monday, July 20th so be sure to check back then to see if you've won.

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy Wednesday!

I love thunderstorms. Had a good one this evening.

June 20, 2009
My mom and I loved putting puzzles together when I was a teenager. Moya and I are carrying on that tradition.

June 21, 2009
Father's Day. The kids love their Daddy!

June 22, 2009
Way past bedtime (almost 10 p.m.) and still not happy to be going to bed.

June 23, 2009
He loves it when his Daddy reads to him.

June 24, 2009
I've posted this one before. They're "folding" this clean sheet.

June 25, 2009
This looks more like actual laundry folding is taking place. :)

Project 365

I'm pretty far behind on posting these photos again. I've been busy creating projects for CHA Summer (which I will post here later), but I have a breather today so I thought I'd post some photos.

June 12, 2009
Moya doing some chores. Look at how happy she isn't...

June 13, 2009
We had fun at the Whitecaps game with Allan's employer/coworkers tonight. Elijah, as usual, was all about the food.

June 14, 2009
Made a stop after church for some much needed energy, of the iced coffee variety.

June 15, 2009
Lots of laughing and splashing in the kiddie pool today.

June 16, 2009
Day two of kiddie pool fun!

June 17, 2009
I married this awesome man 14 years ago today, and I love him even more now than I did then. I am so blessed!

June 18, 2009
And yet more kiddie pool fun. I just may have to get in on this fun before the summer is over!

Evian Baby

This video is so funny, I just had to share it!

Chores?

They tell me they are folding this sheet...

but I'm not so sure.

I don't recall having this much fun (or any for that matter) when I fold sheets!

Sunday's Seven

On this Father's Day Sunday I want to say how thankful I am for my Dad, my brother, my Father-in-law and my husband. I've been blessed to have these four awesome men in my life and in the lives of my children. Thanks guys!

This week's list is all about why I'm so very thankful for my husband.

1. He loves God.
2. He is the spiritual leader of our home.
3. He spends his most valuable resource with us...his time.
4. He works hard to provide for us so that I can stay home with our children.

5. He helps out around the house.
6. He reads to our kids and plays with them...even when he is tired from a long day at work.
7. He shows us everyday just how much he loves us with his words and actions.

Happy Fathers Day!

14 Years Ago Today...

Sunday's Seven

This was our first week of summer break and it was a good one! I'm so thankful...

1. That Elijah had a fun birthday party and that we all survived his sleepover! ;)
2. That my baby is another year older today (Monday).
3. For playing in the backyard with my kids. I love being a stay-at-home-mom!
4. That Moya's first pair of prescription glasses finally came in.
5. For sunshine!
6. That I was able to exercise Monday through Friday this week.
7. For the fun evening at the Whitecaps baseball game with my hubby and kids.

So, that was my week, how was yours? I'd love to hear about it!

It's really hard to see in this photo, but I love the white in Allan's beard. I'm not sure why...maybe it makes me feel better about my own white hair...on my head, not my face! Yeah, I know what you were thinking.

May 28, 2009
This is what happens with hot rice cereal when you (meaning me) are more focused on the computer than you are the microwave. Oops.

May 29, 2009
Flowers from my sweetie...just because.

May 30, 2009
Moya is writing a book and has created drawings of all the characters...and apparently has decided to wallpaper her room with them...

May 31, 2009
"Okay Moya, I'll play, but not with Polly Pockets. I'm going to be my Ninja Turtles!"

June 1, 2009
It's a perfect evening for making silly faces on the porch.

June 2, 2009
Like Allan's tail? Poor guy's MP3 player died so he has to suffer through using his old CD walkman...complete with carrying case that comes with a tail.

June 3, 2009
Working with some Fancy Pants products on a blog project.

June 4, 2009
Allan picked up a glove and t-ball set for Elijah. Now begin the lessons. :)

June 5, 2009
This is the face of a boy at the end of his 1st grade awards ceremony who is taking home the Math Award. Way to go Elijah!

June 6, 2009
Time to celebrate turning another year older.

June 7, 2009
Playing catch with Daddy. Like Moya's pink glove? Now that's the kind of glove I would've loved as a girl!

June 8, 2009
Today he is seven.

June 9, 2009
The baseball tee is already broken. He's telling me all about it here. Notice he isn't looking at me..."Maybe if I don't look at her I won't get in trouble." I guess it worked! He didn't get in trouble since it was an accident.

June 10, 2009
Little miss is painting her nails.

June 11, 2009
Picked up Moya's very first pair of glasses today. Now she can see everything that she's been missing! It's a cool feeling that I still remember having myself when I got my first pair long ago.

Mini Album

I have a mini album project featured on the Fancy Pants blog today. It's one of the projects I shared on Scrapbook Memories when I was a guest on the show this spring. You can see the whole album and a link for the supply list and instructions on the Fancy Pants blog.
