My family- and some photo shoots.

I've been doing a lot of photo shoots lately. I love photography. It's not my passion the way that the Cocoa Cozy is, but I still love it and it still brings me joy to see, take, and edit fantastic pictures! Here are a few from my latest sessions. I've decided teenagers are my favorite. They are so much fun to work with, follow directions, and have great ideas of their own!!

Here is Nancy:

This is my friend, Jennika!

Newest DigiScrap pages and a photo shoot

I did something I RARELY do! I did a digiscrap page without a challenge or prompt. Crazy, huh?! Here it is. All papers and elements by Summer Driggs (the kit is called So This Is Love)

 

This next one was a Stuff to Scrap challenge. It was a font challenge.

I love this one, too. Also a challenge at Stuff to Scrap. This one was a Scraplift challenge.

This one was a challenge at the Studio. It was a  challenge called "Clutter It"

 This was also a Studio Challenge. The theme was "There is nothing I hate more than..."

 This one was a template challenge at the Studio

On a completely unrelated side, here are some shots from a photo shoot I did for my friend, Debi!

 This last one is my fav. Mostly because my Bean is in it!

Easter Pics

And then, I went upstairs to get a few things and when I came down, this is what I found:

Newborn Pics

had to share a couple pics that I took a few weeks ago

Gotta Love Conference

So, besides loving the fact that I get to be uplifted and edified, General Conference is one of my favorite times. While hearing the things that bring peace and comfort in these troubled times, I also get to sit on my tooshy and crochet for two days!!!!

Alrighty, first I want to post the things I finished PREVIOUS to conference

ok, so I don't know where this idea originated. Kristin was showing me some of her inspiration and one was a set of mismatched frames that said FALL on beautiful paper. They were black letters, but I LOVED the idea and went my way with it! Eventually I'd like to upgrade the frames, but this'll work for now.

THIS is one of the reasons I was so ecstatic about One Pretty Thing. She has a Halloween section and there are some amazing links. This link was to Hostess with the Mostess. GORGEOUS (IMO anyway). I think I'll keep this idea and use the vase, change the candy and flowers w/ the holidays. how cute will conversation hearts look in there come V-day?

Yes, I'm aware that this isn't a craft, but isn't he adorable? I'll be making one of my kids soon.

Alright. So conference, me and my hooks stayed happilly attached. I finished Xander's Halloween treat bag, pictured here:
 
It was my first time felting. The teeth look wierd, yes I'm aware. It's because the gray is all 2 stranded and the white is not. Xander doesn't care.

Next, I made a couple more cookies for Juliana's bday set:

The vanilla one is horrendous. The insides are way bigger than the outsides. Oh well. It's a pretend cookie for a three year old. If I were doing it for a gift (or, maybe one day, commission), I would make sure it was perfect.

These are Hershey Kisses, or giant chocolate chips, whichever you prefer. I made up the pattern  all by myself. Here it is:
Rd 1: ch 1, make loop. sc 6 into hold of loop
Rd 2: 2sc in each sc
rd 3: 2 sc in each sc
rd 4: sc in each sc
rd 5: sc in each sc
rd 6: dec next 2 sc, sc in next 3 sc's , repeat all the way around
rd 7: sc in each sc
rd 8: dec next 2 sc, sc in next sc, repeat all the way around
rd 9: keep dec until closed. Close w/ sl st at the top.

Let me know if there are any problems in the pattern so I can fix. Don't hesitate to call me out!!

I also did two other things, but one is going to be for the Ravelry Mystery Crochet, so I won't post the pic till I'm done. The other is a pattern being tested right now, so we'll see!

Pictures

Just thought I'd share some photos I took this morning of my kids

Anyway, enjoy my beautiful children. I am SO lucky they let me take pics of them today!!!

Another tag and LOTS of pictures

Apparently Jeanette tagged me a while ago and i didn't notice till now. I'm SUCH a bad friend!! So I'll start with that. Her tag was a picture tag. So here goes:
