Baby Boy Card

It is "National Scrapbooking Month" and I love how it has been expanded from just "National Scrapbooking DAY," to a full MONTH!!! That's kind of how I like to celebrate my birthday... for a whole month!

A couple weeks ago, Elise and I went to a baby shower for a new little boy in the family... Steve's 1st cousin, twice removed! But I quickly learned, after marrying Steve, that everyone is a cousin. And if you are a cousin that is in a different age bracket, you might be a "cousin-aunt" or a "cousin-uncle!" So, when this family says cousin... it could mean anything! But this new baby is a first cousin, twice removed, because it is the grandson of Steve's first cousin. He is my children's second cousin, once removed. And Steve's mom just became a great-great-aunt! Oy!

Here is the card I made for Baby Spencer. Elise was thrilled to be invited to this party!


And since I'm talking about E, I also wanted to share this little picture that she drew the other day. I think it's a self-portrait!

Baby card

Here's a card I received from my sister Louise as a thank you for the gift I gave her baby Cole.

Question... what's with these little markers? They are supposed to be worry free, mess free, etc... glad I went with instinct and bought E a smock as well!!! She had so much fun colouring along with the boys... I don't mind a little mess, as long as they are getting along!!

Baby Cole is here!

Congratulations to my sister Louise and her family on the safe arrival of baby Cole Maverick. He joined their family on Sunday afternoon and they went home from the hospital yesterday.

I just got some pics, so I thought I would share a couple with you.
