Our babies' Nursery

*Copied from the Twins Blog*
Though my creativity for scrapping
has be lost for the time being, Nesting
sure has come into play. I thought I'd
share with you all our latest creation.
* * * * *

Justin is amazing!
I told him the other morning that
the furniture needed to be moved.
The set up just wasn't working.
He was hoping I was kidding.
I was serious.

So when he came home from work he
was ready to start the moving process.
It wasn't going to work the way I had
hoped so we had to think it out again.
Luckily Justin had an idea and TADA!
Our new set up is perfect and functional.
Who knew getting two cribs and all those
shelves to fit was gonna be so hard.

The nursery is a work in
progress, but for now we're done.
We have a busy week ahead of us.
I need to clean up the rest of the
house, find new homes for the many
items removed from the "guestroom"
and clean the carpet.
It seems our little dogs had a few
fits while we were in Las Vegas.
Little monsters.
Thank goodness they are adorable.

I spent the afternoon with my mom
yesterday getting a few of the last
little details, a changing pad,
another tree,and frames and that
little toy box under the window.
(We have one just like it in
the living room and I LOVE IT!)





A quote from a friend about the
changing table: Erin said
"Too bad such a pretty piece has to
be used for such a stinky job. :)"

I washed all their little items
like bibs, hats and receiving
blankets in order to put them away
right away in the little green bins.
I really want more of the bins.
They store flat for storage
and pop-up perfectly when needed.

I put away as much as I could.
Washing what was going
to be displayed ect.
And was able to clear out a
few boxes from our room. YAY!
I didn't wash clothes yet.
Maybe in a month or so.

I'm so happy the nursery is set up.
I worry that later on I'm going to
have trouble getting around and
would hate to know that I couldn't help.

Thank you Justin for making it
work and look so beautiful!

*Update - New items are added to the
room every week from photo frames to
baby gear. Once our baby girls arrive,
they will be the room's focus.

My and my honey!
June 16, 2011

This belly gets bigger and bigger, it's crazy!

Where did I go?

Well, life has been full of
being extra busy or lots of naps.
I have little mojo for scrap-
booking which makes me sad.
If'd you'd like to see what's
going on with me, you're welcome
to visit the blog I've been writing
about our journey to becoming parents.
Twin Lambs 2011.

I update this much more often,
though not ful of crafty inspiration,
it's a journal of my life right now.
One day I'll scrap all the photos!

Peanut Butter for Elephants

Bree is doing a wonderful
challenge at Tallyscrapper!

Helping the Elephants -
Peanut Butter Challenge

She has 12 bottles of Peanut Butter
she'll be donating to a Elephant
Sanctuary to be used to mix with
the elephants medications.
For each person to submit a LO
she is donating a jar of Peanut
Butter in their name.

I haven't done a lo in couple weeks
and this challenge got me to thinking.
My first thought reading the
challenge this morning was oh, Elvis!
In 2005 when traveling to VA
we stopped in Graceland.
Justin & Mom are Elvis fans and
found a recipe for The Elvis Peanut
Butter Banana Sandwich.
We've tried it twice.
Once with the Bacon once without.
Let's just say it's yummy, but as
Justin calls it a heart attack
waiting to happen. Yikes.

SO for the challenge I thought
making a 12x12 recipe card for
my books would be perfect.
Of course if Momma sees it may
make it's way to a new home.




If you want to help the Sanctuary
as well you can send them a jar of
peanut butter too.

The address is

The Elephant Sanctuary
804 Darbytown Rd.
Hohenwald, TN 38462

Trying to get back on track...

I've been lost again. I'm so sorry.
I need to take photos of all
the stuff I've done lately!

Next Week is our Card Class.
I'll post photos soon.

And Monday is the day we
hopefully find out if our little
Lambs are Boys or Girls.
Justin and I are so excited to find out.
He's hoping for Boys.
I'm hoping for a Boy & Girl.
Either way I'll be pleased.

Mom has started planning the
baby shower for next month.
Can you believe the little
ones will be here mid August!
Today we took advantage of some
great coupons from Babies R US
and got thier car seats, a baby
gate, a diaper bag and a body pillow
for me. Everything 15-20% off each.
A major savings for us.

My mind wonders much to easily so
that's part of why I'm not around.
We've also been out and
about alot more lately.

I promise to update with project pics soon.
But for now here's the Twins
@ 19 weeks 5 weeks, April 25, 2011.

About where I live...

My friend's little girl is doing
a project for school.
The children are writing letters to
people from all over and asking
that a letter be written in return.

I of course had a bolt of inspiration!
I Used my 50 States Cartridge to
make a card with the state flag,
state bird, & state flower.

Inside I wrote the letter back
to Emily about where I live.
Talking about near by day trips,
the weather and facts about the state.
I was even able to include postcards
for the nearby areas of interest.





I hope she gets LOTS of letters back!
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Scrappin'!
