Stuff...

Hi there...Hope things are going good for everyone....Did you mother's have a good Mother's Day?? I did... :) Ben made me a wonderful dinner and the kids were so very sweet....I do love them all!! I made these for all the mother's in my life...they are little magnets that you can hang on your fridge....I used Daisy Bucket Designs Paper for all of them and I think they turned out pretty cute!! (They are about 4 inches in diameter in case you were curious)...

I use the Summer Cottage Line for this one:

I used the Southern Belle line for this one:

and I used the Garden Gate line for this one:

I also used their petite stamps for the saying and the vine, leaf and swirl accents...I hope they liked them!!

So, I was feeling crafty yesterday and thanks to a little mojo and the beautiful May kit for My Scrapbook Nook I made this:

We took a tour of Porter's school yesterday and I had many mixed emotions...That's what inspired this layout...I'm so excited for him to go to school and to learn so many new things but I'm also afraid for him...He can be sensitive/tender hearted at times and I just hope school turns into a good experience for him and not something he dreads everyday...Its going to be so hard to let him go off on his own!! :( Thank goodness I still have a couple more months to get myself prepped!!

In other news I must mention how very excited I am for this movie....

(Trailer)

Now if you don't know about this movie or the book it's based off of well then shame on you!! :) I must say it is seriously the best book series I've ever read....You can check out some info on the series here...I love this author!! I read Twilight in 2 days it's so good and went out the next day to buy the other 2 books...The 4th is coming out in August and I'm so excited...She (her name is Stephenie Meyer) just released a new book called The Host and I read that one in 3 days....She is an amazing writer for sure...and I mean AMAZING!! If you are looking for a good read then I HIGHLY recommend all of her books!! :)

Well, with that I must go....errands are calling my name and I only have so many more hours before the dreaded nausea hits....I do not love morning sickness....I repeat - DO NOT LOVE!!

I love the layout you did of Porter. So special! It made me think about my little guy who will go to Kindergarten the year after next. Glad to see that you got a little bit of mojo back, even for a bit. Take care!

Love the cute magnets! I love the Twilight series! How did you like The Host?? I haven't had a chance to read it yet. I hope it's good!

Hey Amanda, your magnets are darling! I'm glad you liked the host...I haven't bought it yet, have been nervous, but I'm on the waiting list for our library which hasn't gotten them IN yet!! UGH! But I'm happy to hear you liked it. I've been really worried about it!

Glad you had a good mother's day and I bet the moms loved their gifts. They are totally adorable. Love the layout of Porter too......enjoy your summer w/him.

Amanda, cousin Kristin here. Love your layout. Your blog is amazing. Makaila is currently reading Twilight. She is really enjoying it. I have kept tabs on you through your blog. I have just never written anything, so I figured it was about time. I always enjoy looking at yours, it is so creative. You have some amazing ideas.
