I'm so bad.....

I know, I know.....I've been a HORRIBLE blogger...I truly apologize for that and for all of you who still read this thing thanks for sticking around!! I truly appreciate it!! :)

So in my attempt to get out of the "funk" I've been in the past week or so I've come upon a few things....

1- My sweet loving precious little girl has left the building...A screaming terrible two-year old has taken over her body....Who knew that my dear little girl had super sonic screaming?!? I used to think she was pretty smart by all the words she was able to say but the only word she seems to know now is "NO!".....Its a good thing she's so darn cute....

I mean come on...who can resist that face??

2- Can I get a slow down on life for a minute?? Who said it should be September already?? Man, I am truly understanding now why people say when you get older life goes by faster....Its funny to me though because even though it seems like it's going by faster than ever, I'm doing less than I did when I was younger!! Crazy how that works...I guess this is where I insert my reminder of, "Cherish these little moments everyday, before you know it they will all slip away"....I think I'll go hug my babies for awhile... :)

3- I was going through my pictures I took while I was in Idaho and I wanted to post this one for all of my "Nield" family....

This ring is one of my most favorite memories of my Grandma Nield...she wore it all the time and in fact the last time I was able to see her alive I was visiting at her house chatting away with her and she grabbed my hand and held it awhile...I just reveled in this moment....stared at her ring....listened to her kind words of advice and her sweet memories she shared with me...I miss her so....

(Thank you to my dear Aunt Lisa for indulging me and letting snap a bunch of photos...I am very grateful to you for that!)

4- So while I have yet to find my mojo, I have found the ability to make a couple things the past couple days....I am vowing to do a layout today or else!! I made these two things using product from Daisy Bucket Designs...I LOVE their new lines of paper!!

This is just a layout about me and my sister using the Garden Gate paper:


Yesterday was Cassandra's (One of the owners of Daisy Bucket Designs) Birthday...this was the card I made using the Wrapped Wishes line:


5- So, I'm currently trying to get some oomph in my life to "simplify/organize/improve" myself right now...this involves purging a bunch of stuff I just don't need anymore (I'm a major pack rat....ugh), I'm using a planner now and accomplishing daily tasks/goals I've set for myself (slowly working on that one...) and I'm trying to be healthier by watching what I eat and being more active...Its a work in progress but hopefully it will only help me out...I'm crossing my fingers!! I'll let ya know how it works out...

Well, thanks for reading everyone and as a reward I'm going to be going through my scrappy stuff and I'll get some things together to do a blog give away...I will keep you posted on that....for now have a wonderful day!! :)
