Project 365-February Layout #3

My super bright layout for today is from Valentines Day. We took the kids & my parents & sisters to Grimaldi's for pizza and played at the playground at San Tan. My dad bought us all ice cream and the kids got to look at the pet store for the kind of puppy they want. Olivia really wants to get a dog that's "not too big, and not too small Momma" and name her Frannie.

We Love Real Estate Open House Extravaganza

I've been working all day putting together a mass open house for this weekend for Keller Williams Legacy One and I wanted to let anyone local know to come stop by and say hi this weekend! For every house you visit, you get entered to win a free golf package for 4 to the Raven Golf Course- perfect gift for any husband!


I'll be at 1164 S. Osborn Gilbert, AZ 85296 at Cooley Station-come by and see me tomorrow (I'll have treats!!!!)

Happy Birthday to Braden & Kathie!

Hooray! My husband is 27 today, and coincidentally so is our good family friend Kathie! (How do you you keep getting younger?) I promised Braden I wouldn't have the twins on his birthday since he already has to share his day with one girl-can you imagine with 3? Poor guy.


Love these new frames

I woke up this morning at 1:00 am with a crappy Penelope, but couldn't fall back asleep after she did so I got up and made this birthday banner for Braden. I am one serious procrastinator. It took me all of 30 minutes to print out the banner, cut it up, staple it all to this fun black pom pom trim I found at the bottom of my craft cabinet, and tape the little circles to the top. At 3:00 am.
I used the House of 3 Birthday Printable Banner Kit & added the letters in Photoshop (it's Rosewood font). The kit is $2 so there is no reason not to have it. Even if you don't have photoshop, it comes as a printable pdf file so you can just print & go. Love it.


Oh, and you must check out their Live Webshow tonight-It's a craft-a-long class with Heidi Swapp making a Birthday Memories Book! Go to her blog to get a supply list and we can all make one together. I might just be making one (or a few) of these to give out as birthday presents coming up!

Un-necessary Necessities

I feel like I want to have everything ready to go when I actually have to deliver the twins, but I find that most things I want aren't really all that important, they would just make the hospital stay much more pleasant.

Like a custom hospital gown so I don't have to wear those depressing ones they give you that show your butt cheeks and fall off your shoulders. The ones from Lily and Lou are too cute (but $70 is out of my price range unfortunately).


I also want to bring my own blanket and pillow because the ones at the hospital SUCK and they are always running out. I love these whole-cloth quilts from Sweet Baby Jaime, and I ordered some Nicey Jane fabric to try and make my own in my size.



And this Mama & Baby Bird bath basket would be heaven to have for after the twins come. Flying Bird Botanicals have some awesome products that I am dying to try.


I also need a nice big bag to stash all my hospital stuff in, and I love this one from Pretty Little Things. It's so bright and cheery! I bought some green zebra fabric in hopes i can make my own before the babies come, but I don't know if I will get it done in time.


I've been working on a bunch of baby headbands for the girls and I just listed a bunch in our Handmade Parade Etsy shop and SURPRISE! We're doing another giveaway on the Handmade Parade Blog for your choice of the New Rosette Baby Headbands! Head on over there and enter to win-the giveaway ends March 1st!

Countdown to Babies

In honor of Evelyn and Georgia we are going to start a delivery date pool here on my blog (in addition to our family pool and my mom's facebook pool) for people to try and guess the date the twins will be born. In my family's pool I guessed Valentines Day, so I'm already out! They are due on April 1st and I am 34 weeks right now, so there are still lots and lots of days to pick. Leave a comment with your guess and if you are right, you win a prize! Try not to pick a day that someone else has already chosen though, so look through all the comments before you choose!

PS- I made my cute countdown banner above using House of 3 Countdown Kit & the Valentine Lace Border Kit

Project 365-February Layout #2

Here's the rest of the pictures from Schnepf Farm. The dog on the bottom that Braden is petting lived there and came right up to us. Braden was thisclose from taking that dog home.

Birthday Love

How much are you in love with my new blog background & header? I am OBSESSED with the new House of 3 Birthday Stuff-it's all insanely cute. If you didn't watch their live show last night, you MUST go and watch the recorded version-there are sooooooo many great ideas to stay prepared for any birthday throughout the year. There are 2 color ways for boys & girls so if you stock up on all their stuff you will always be ready for that birthday that is sneaking up on you. Next week is Kathie & Braden's birthday on the 24th so I plan on using some of the kits for cards and banners and stuff. The Mini Happy Tags are FREE so hurry up and snag yours before their regular price!


Also, the twins Birth Day will be coming up soon so I'm thinking of making up some extra little banners for the hospital to make it a little more cheery. You all know how blah those hospital rooms can be :)
