 Hopefully if everything goes well I will be able to upload some pics this weekend from CHA!!!!

Changes!

I took these pics the day before we left Co and it was 4 degrees! Brrr! Luckily it did not snow the day we flew out! Since we've been in TX it has been sunny, rainy, and they had snow right before we got here! Crazy weather! LOL! We are getting our bearings, settling in and trying to find all our stuff!!!

Baby girl is wearing her fav Mr Ken 's big coat and hat, she already misses him and her Ms. Jenny.
It is hard starting over, but they are in school- 2 whole days and doing fine!

Here is the last layout I did in CO.
Weird...But it does represent all the thoughts going trhough my mind at the time!

It was quite theraputic as I was feeling a bit stressed at the time, it felt nice to just scrap and let it go!(Crate paper- kit from Citrus Tree Studio!)

I hope you are doing well, I am having a hard time adjusting to the comptuer situation as it is not wieless here and  it has me feeling quite trapped to be stuck at a desk. I am sure it will just take time and then I will be able to go visit all your beautiful blogs!

Meanwhile I am very excited to share some very cool scrappy stuff with you...

Happy New Year!

Well truly the countdown is on and you know I had to scrap the occasion! All this Crate goodness is from this months kit  "Flea Market Finds" at Citrus Tree Studio.

7 days unitl takeoff!

                                                   

Wonder...

How is your new year going? I have already dated things 2010 instead 2011 several times! :o!
I have spent the past few days cleaning and purging! Purging LOTS! I can't believe we are moving in 8 days...but enough about me.  Today I have a layout with Pebbles Inc. 's line "New Arrival" . It comes in pinks/browns and blues/browns, totally sweet for baby's but since my baby's are getting a little older I decided to use this as a non traditional Christmas layout!
This is the sample for a photo challenge over at Scrap Gal ...                                                     


"The holidays are over and we tend to move on to the next thing and forget to scrap those holiday photos!
My photo challenge is easy! Scrap your holidays! We want to to see at least two holiday photos on your layout!
Be sure to use at least 50% of Pebbles Inc product to be eligible for this months prize!"

8  days 'til the big move...Am I nervous? Only that I wont be ready! LOL! Well and maybe for the plane ride - the kids have never been on a plane and one of the boys is terrified of flying! But that's OK we have lots of tricks up our sleeve - and a few prayers too! If you have flown with kids maybe you have a few suggestions?
