Well hello there! I know, I've been gone forever, but with very good reason! After a super stressful spring and too much time spent in the hospital due to a complicated pregnancy, Baby Skribbles (aka Alexander) finally arrived a few weeks early on June 9, 2011. He's a happy, healthy cutie! He loves snuggles and I'm more than happy to oblige! It's been quite an adjustment for me going from 1 kid to 2 kids! Especially in the middle of a busy and hot summer! But, as fall approaches, my oldest son, Adam, will be starting Kindergarten and I will have a little more time on my hands!

I've truly missed scrapping and designing (in fact, my poor second child doesn't have a single page scrapped of him!) and am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things! To kick things back off, I thought jumping in for theStudio's Birthday Bash would be just the way to to do so!
There are tons of activities going on in the forum, our Next Designer Contest is starting up as is the Next Layout Artist and Next Hybrid Artist contests - which are so fun to watch! I'm even hosting a challenge that includes a freebie! I'm hosting the Member Mega challenge - so come over and join me in making a mini kit or creating a layout using a mini kit that's been created! Here's a little peek at my contribution, which is available free over at theStudio.
It will still be slow going for me for the next couple of weeks as I adjust to yet another big life change, with my older son going off to school (yep, I'll be the crying mom), but you should be seeing more of me here as the seasons change!
Glad to be back!

Welcome back!! My youngest started kindergarten last week...I was one of MANY crying moms...you won't be alone! Best wishes for things to go smoothly. Thanks for the freebie! :)
ReplyDelete1 day out - my son (and second child) was born on June 10th (2003) and is also an Alexander, although everyone knows him as Alex. My daughter starts high school next week (we go back a little later in England) - that is scary!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, and a great mini kit. Welcome back :0)
