WOW what a Crazy Month

So after writing the last post alot has happened Wow what a crazy bust month! I have officially decided that I’m going to post all my latest pages from our scrapbooks and any new and fun techniques that I have learned! I will update on the family a little but right now I need a place for me! So ill tell you all about our crazy past little bit! Nathanael is still home and even though I’m not really enjoying the not having money part I am completely enjoying having him home! The saying "everything happens for a reason" is what we have been living by! Our Marriage is 100 times stronger than it ever has; we have been growing closer as a family and as a couple! We found out just before Easter that Nathanaels brother and his wife are expecting. Their son is 8 and it will be so great for them to have another! Also Nathanaels sister that moved to Norway came home unexpectedly and surprised the Family it was sooo great! I travelled to SASK again but this time with my best friend and her son and Kaity wow is all I can say the kids were amazing I couldn’t have asked for better! We had such a great time with Ray and Johanna and Maddy, I have been missing them sooo dearly and it was great to see them! And the best news yet is that for mothers day My lovely Husband bought me book shelves so I could organize my scrapbooking/ craft room and now I have a great place to retreat and to do my scrapbooks! I have been told more than once recently that I should do this professionally and after toying with the idea I have decided not to. I do this hobby for me that is all there is too it I have given up soo much to be a mom and this is for me. I have also been asked “how do you do it with three kids? How can you keep up with all your albums? I have to first say I have only been doing this since Joey was born and I now have 5 albums! I have one for each of the kids, one for the family and a wedding one! I have a family album to document not only before me and Nathanael were married but I was getting over whelmed with all the events we were doing as a family I kept asking myself “How am I going to keep up with this if I do a set of pages for each event for all three kids?” my answer a family album to hold things such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Valentines day and Mom and dads day as well as all family events or trips! Now I just have one set of pages! For the kids’ albums I am still a little behind but I am putting in bdays and their special pics and such! I completely love doing this and now that my room is done its sooo much easier to go in and sit down and do something! I have also decided that I am going to start selling Close to my heart which is scrapbooking and card making supplies! I am doing this for myself but if I am asked to do a party I will, I’m soo excited and I sooo badly want my Slice so I am saving my pennies and waiting patiently! Just this past week my Oma past so Kaity and I will be travelling to Vancouver on Sunday afternoon so Ill leave you with the pages that I did the other night o the pics we took while we were there last!!!
