she's 6

today. she's six. she's gone from our tiny little peanut to a long legged blondie, her daddy's "sugar". she's loud. she's happy. she's sassy. she's lovable. she's a smart cookie. she's funny. she's weird. she's overdramatic. she's quirky. she's outgoing. she's magnetic. I think she has just about everyone she knows wrapped around her little finger {even her brothers, who will never admit it}.

right now...

she has 2 baby teeth lost.

she can tie her own shoes.

she can read pretty darn well.

she knows her way around an iPhone & iPad.

she sings EVERYTHING.

she loves school.

she loves chocolate milk.

she likes chicken patties with ketchup.

she loves donuts.

she loves Baked Lays.

she likes pineapple the best.

she tortures the dog & her brothers.

she hates sleeping in her bed.

she loves Sponge Bob.

she love lounging in her jammies.

she still carries around her pink blankie she got the day she was born.

she hates when she doesn't get to go to school.

that's our girl, in a nutshell, at 6.

Sunday we had a family lunch to celebrate. She chose spaghetti & fruit salad, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting & chocolate ice cream. Tonight we'll head for supper to Happy Joe's where she can toot the birthday horn & play games & eat pizza. Finally this Sunday, she gets to have some girls from her class over for mani-pedis & a tea party. I know, it's dragging on, but this girl seriously LOVES her birthday. My parents always made a pretty big deal out of our birthday's growing up & it was something I always cherished. I love doing the same for our kids.

we love you Lyd!

Sometimes when I get in a funk, I need to change my normal routine a bit. I'm not one to be a downer... more of a glass half full kinda gal, but I don't know, this week I was just feeling poo-ish. Since I wasn't feeling the paper kit thing, I thought I'd do something I haven't done for a while... templates! The plus to this {for me} is that I always do a layout with them! Yay for scrapbooking! So take a look... these are layered .psd photoshop templates with stitched elements included.

check out what the girls did with this one. I love seeing them with both my kits & with our other fab designers' kits as well.

Speaking of the weekend... what are you up to this weekend? We have our teenager off to a youth lock in {swimming, games, food, fun}, NO BASKETBALL, but the fun will come on Sunday when we celebrate Lydia's 6th birthday with our family {her official day is Tuesday}. She's chosen spaghetti, fruit salad, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting & chocolate ice cream. Hope you all have a good one!

new dollar kit + a little Project Life

We were engrossed in 5th grade boys basketball all day Saturday, so I didn't get to post my newest dollar kit that's up at P&Co. Oh yeh, love me some labels...

these coordinate perfectly with the Mod Pop papers. You get all 25 in .png format, but for those of you hybrid lovers out there, I've also set up a printable .pdf for you as well.

layout by {sarah hemmert}

I've also decided to try my hand at Project Life again this year. I need something that is going to be fairly low-key & I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself to do it how I think may be the "right way".  I just want to record what memories I have available, maybe everything won't be perfect, some days & weeks may be not so great, but I'll still have it there for us. So, I'm planning all digital, using Karla Dudley's 8.5x11" Everyday Storytellers templates for the base & my plan is to print at home so I can put them right into a binder & have them to look through right away. That way, they're not stuck on my computer, waiting to send to get printed.  So far... I've done the cover page.

new dollar kit 9.25

I love dollar kit Tuesdays... I put together a small element kit to coordinate with the Sydney papers I released Thursday...

by {claudia harvey}

by {becca dickson}

ummm, hello how awesome is this hybrid card!

by {robyn meierotto}

yes... that's our new puppy. the kids have been begging for a dog for a long time & somehow this one ended up dropped off in our yard last Saturday morning. seriously. we often get the dumped pregnant cat, but a super cute puppy? never had that happen before. so, we've adopted her & the kids picked the name: Mabel. I still need to take her to the vet to get her checked out & see if they know exactly what breed{s} she is, but we're thinking a rat terrier mix.

anywho... you can get the dollar kit today & don't forget to take advantage of my 20% off my entire store until the end of this month in celebration of my 2 years at DHD! just enter ThanksFor2 at checkout!
