Finally She's HERE!!!!!!!!!!! Introducing Summer DeAnn

I know I have been away from my blog for forever but the day finally came.  On Feb 28th at 8:06 a.m. our little angel Summer DeAnn was born.  She is a beautiful little girl that stole our hearts immediately.

I'll post more later on her (and hopefully some new crafting stuff soon) but wanted to get some pictures up for you all to see. My daughter took my camera to school with her so I can't get the pictures off there today but here are some from my sister's cell phone.

 Okay this picture is hilarious.  She is actually sitting in a belly cast that was made of MY belly when 8 months pregnant with her.  Notice how she does NOT fit?  I think I carried the child in my back I tell ya!!!!! LOL

And one with my Amazing husband and proud new daddy!!!!!!!  I couldn't have ask for a better husband or father for my children!!!!!!!!  I love you Baby!!!

Hopefully I"ll be recovered soon and back to blogging daily but until then may God Bless and be with you all.

Christy!!!

I'm still alive!!!!!!!!

OMG it's been so long since I've had time to post here that I couldn't even remember my password to get in!!!!!!  Anyway, so many have emailed and ask me how things are going that I wanted to take a minute to update.  I figured here would be the best place.

As most of you know this time of year is very busy for me.  I do my best to help where I can and celebrate the Christmas season the way I feel Jesus intended for it to be done.  So the kid's and i have been very busy volunteering and trying to help out where we can.

Things have gone WONDERFULLY and I am proud to say that we have been just as blessed by others as we have hopefully blessed them!!!!  Christmas is such a wonderful time of year to just rejoice in what we have and be happy.  I hope that everyone is keeping that in mind and enjoying the season despite all the problems that surround us.  Remember to reach out and help those around you.  It doesn't have to be financial there are MANY ways you can volunteer and help simply by donating your time!!!

And yes the BABY!!!!!!!  Summer is doing GREAT!!!!!!!  We will be 28 weeks this SAturday.  Amazing how time flys when you are busy.LOL  Her lastest ultrasound was almost a month ago now and she was almost 2 pounds!!!!!!!!  She's growing so fast and will be here before we know it!!!!!!!!

Here are some imaged from that if you'd like to see them

This Monday the 12th we go back and I "think" they said after this I will have to start going back to the doctor every two weeks.  Every day longer I just continue to thank God for giving her to us and allowing me to make it as far as I have.  I truly feel she'll be making it all the way, or REALLY close to it though, and relax a bit more the further along we get!!!!!!

I really hope to get back to my blog posting and sharing regular really soon.  I hope you are all having a WONDERFUL Christmas Season and remembering to celebrate what is really important, Jesus Christ our Savior!!!!!

God Bless,
Christy

Challenge for Black Cat Fall/Halloween Crop

Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!

This month's event at the black cat forum is a Fall/Halloween theme crop!!!!!!

So for my first challenge I decided to make Halloween themed Magnets!!!!!!!  I originally started designing my own little cut files but ended up buying an ADORABLE set I saw at Trina's website http://www.digiscrapkits.com/  It was perfect for what I needed.

I just impored them with texture into MTC and resized them down to 1 inch.  Then I made a scallop circle to go behind them and print and cut them out.  Then using spray glue I attached them to the glass pebbles then applied magnets to the back of them.  It's hard to get a good picture of them but here's what I ended up with

They turned out really cute and adorable to stick on the fridge!!!!!!  If you don't have glass pebbles using wax paper and a hot glue gun you can make your own!!!!!

And here are the files I had designed to print and cut I"m going to make another set.

Halloween Magnets 

Prayers and request for help for another scrapper.........

Hi everyone,

I'm sure most, if not all of you, know Penny Duncan.  She put a post on her blog today about another crafter who needs our help. I read the full story but will just link you all as to not mis quote anything but if you can find it in your hurt to help her out with her medical bills by purchasing some of her digital kits I know it will not go unnoticed.  If you can't please at least remember her in your prayers.

You can read the full story on Wendy's blog here http://wendyscraftingtimes.blogspot.com/2011/08/help-for-krafty-karen.html and Penny's post about it on her blog of course at www.pennyduncancreations.blogspot.com 

Thank you all in advance for any help you can give rather it be monetary or your prayers.

Hugs,

Christy

Black CAt Back to School Blog hop Day 3

Well we are on the last day of the blog hop and I have one last project to show you.  A cute little 3D school house to hold Tea Light Candles!!!!!!

I got this cute little free file from Monica over at her blog .  It was suppose to be a 3d family house and I just added the world school to the front.  It reminds me so much of my old school house when I was a kid!!!!!  I just couldn't pass it up!!!

THe windows and some of the pieces are tiny on this one so I can't guarantee how it will cut with all cutters but it did wonderfully on my BC Cougar.  I used DCWV textured CS to make sure it was good and sturdy.  I also ran the white paper through the xyron so all the windows and trim would be sticky.  You guys know me and gluing little pieces so that worked wonderfully for me.  Thanks Monica for a GREAT file!!!!!!!!

Remember, today is the last day to enter for the blog candy!!!!!!!  Details in the 1st day of the blog hop post!!!!!

Thank you all so much for joining us this weekend.  Check out the Black Cat forum at http://www.blackcatus.com/index.php for a special challenge covering the projects you've seen during the hop!!!!!!!! 

God Bless,
Christy
