Crazy month!

Well, my baby is 1! Can you believe it? One whole year ago I gave birth to the most precious little boy. 18 hours of labor, but so worth it. I'd do it all over again (and I guess I get to...haha). We had a party for him last Saturday, and had over my best friend Shannon and her family, my parents and Dan's parents. Just enough people to have a great party, but not too many that I couldn't sit and talk with people. It was perfect. Nicholas had a lot of fun too, and that made the day just splendid. Temperatures outside were in the 70's. Just perfect.

Here are some cute pictures of the birthday boy:
The cake before....

During...Yummy!

Who needs hands?

All done! Frosting in the nostrils too!

What a day! I can't wait to scrap these pics. I just don't have time to do it right now...someday soon I'll do it though.

And since I'm in a generous giving mood, I thought I'd give ya'll a freebie for stopping by. The Muddy Buddy Kit I mentioned one other blog post. Hope you enjoy it, I know I had a ton of fun making it. It's got a cute alpha that I'm really proud of (as brushes too!) Please leave a comment!! I love love love reading them!

Hello temper tantrums. Welcome to the Burke House.

Ahhhhhhhh!! I am not allowed on the computer anymore. Nicholas has decided that any time I am within 1 foot of the computer, that a temper tantrum is in order. Oh, this kid! Maybe I need a laptop or something more portable so we can go in his room and play and I can work on my scrapbooking. Or, I'll just leave computer time to nap times, which are far and few between. So forgive me for not getting more freebies up on a more consistent nature. I do have several things put together that I've made. I just haven't had time to upload them.

For my birthday, (30!!) my brother gave me a great gift--Photoshop CS2. AHHHH!! Finally! But now I just have to learn to use the darned program! And with the lack of time, it is quite the challenge. But one of these days perhaps I'll learn a few new tricks. We shall see.

And since it's after 10 pm here, I had better post my freebie and then head to bed. I wish I had more time to mess around with PS more.........but, as you know, morning comes all too early.

Here are some papers that coordinate with the Cute Little Girl Words from last week. Please leave a comment if you pick it up! I love reading through them! :)

Blizzard Warning.... oh goodie.

3 days of being stuck at home. In 2 feet of snow. What good comes of this you ask? Well, that'd be the fact that I now WANT to go to work. I want to get out of this house!! And I really need to go make some money. 3 days off of work really hurts the paycheck. I took next Thursday off for my birthday, but I might have to work that evening now just so I can make up some hours. Oh, joy. :)

However, with 3 days off, I've completed a couple of kits, I'm happy to say. I did my challenge for Chark's Swap Crop over at SBB by creating my Muddy Buddy Kit. I love the way the alpha turned out for this. I'll share this with you in a few days. I first want to make some things with it before I give it to everyone else. hee hee. ;)

But, I did make the Cute Little Girl Words for you! Girl stuff is pretty easy to make and always ends up cute. I also have a complete kit that matches these, so come back soon and check and see if it's done. I made cute gingham papers and ribbons to go with it all. I just need to figure out some extra elements to spice it up a bit.

Hope you all are keeping warm. I can't believe it's March and we get to start looking for some nice weather around here!

Enjoy the Cute Little Girl Words! Please leave a comment here if you enjoy them! Your feedback keeps me going!
