6 Happy Birthday my love!

This man takes good care of me
He loves me for me
He would do anything for me
He is a wonderful father to our children
This man is my comfort and my safety
My laughter and my love

I love you with all my heart Ray! (your next clue will be txt'd to you!)

8 Happy Valentines Day!!

This is going to be a big post for a big day so hang tight! :)

First off, I was awoken by the wonderful sound of "mommy, we have breffas!". Bryleigh was standing next to my bed holding a plate of fruit crepes that Ray had made for me! How sweet is that?? I was so excited to get breakfast in bed and the crepes were yummy! Thank you honey! I love you!

He also bought me flowers! :)


We took daddy to work and headed to work out. This place that I work out is so great...the kids get to play with their friends and are tended for, and I get to exercise with my friends...it's a great deal! But we got quite the workout again today! We focused on our legs and although it hurt a ton while I was doing it, surprisingly my legs don't hurt much right now. :) That's either a good sign, or it means my legs will be jello tomorrow! LoL!

So...about my new store!! :) {we are} storytellers hasn't opened quite yet (yes, we are all anxious!!) but I'm just too excited so I'm going to show you all of my previews of new stuff!! Ready?? :) But first, here's a layout I just finished up with a bunch of the new stuff!

First up is another set of Foto Overlays!! This one is my favorite yet! :)


Next, some stitched circle frames, and templates to go with them! (Papers not included.)


Bracket's are all the rage right now, so why not have them in felt?


Stitch your own brackets, and there's a plain one in there for you to use as a template if you'd like! :)


Fabric strips! :) (Papers not included...these are templates!)


And last but certainly not least is the collab. that Amy Hutchinson and I did together. We are both SO PROUD of this kit!! :)


How's that for a ton of previews?? I've been very busy, but having so much fun doing it! :) Keep checking back to {we are} storytellers, sometime in the next 3-4 hours, and hopefully the shop will be up!! :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day! :) Love to you all!!

9 More sneak peeks...

of my new stuff coming to {we are} storytellers tomorrow!! Tomorrow is the big day!! Yippee, I'm so excited!! You see lots of stuff here including new brackets, and circle stitched templates, stuff from my team up with Amy Hutchinson, more stuff from her and a bunch of stuff from Emily Powers and Two Sisters Designs.

So Bryleigh had her first ever Valentine party this morning at preschool. She was so excited for it and had a lot of fun! Here's her card that she gave out.

And here she is during the party:


Now, I hardly ever buy chips. We just don't eat them much, but when it comes to Doritos...I love them. That was my biggest craving when I was pregnant with Jeremy! I picked some up for this weekend with my family coming to visit and we munched on some for lunch yesterday. So I just had to snap this photo of Jeremy eating them. I wasn't surprised that he loved them since I ate them so much when I was pregnant with him!


Check back tomorrow for all my new and returning products for {we are} storytellers!! Have a great Wednesday! :)

5 I have a story to tell...

go check it out here!!

I've been looking forward to this week for a while! First off, it's Valentines Day on Thursday! I've always loved that day! :) Then Friday is Ray's birthday! And this weekend my family is planning on coming to visit us!! Hopefully the weather will stay good and they can come!!

But also I am excited because Thursday I get to start a new chapter in my design career! {we are} storytellers opens that day!! I am so pumped!! So...I thought I'd show you a sneak peek of some of the things I have coming out! :) Take a look at the layout:

This is a kit that I did with another amazing designer!! We both had so much fun creating it...can you guess who I worked with?? :) I'll be posting more peeks at stuff throughout the week, so don't forget to come back and see!

So....we had a very interesting weekend. Friday morning was horrible. You saw my poor little boy with pink eye. Well as 8:30 rolls around, I call the dr. office and they can't get him in. So I call down to another office about 15 min. away and they can't get him in either. Nobody seemed like they wanted to help me either. Nobody told me that I could go to the urgent care here...I didn't even know it existed. So instead Ray took him to the ER! The ER...on a Friday...in the middle of the morning...for pink eye. Yeah, I was upset to say the least. He's had medicine on his eyes all weekend. Poor thing. Luckily none of us came down with it.

Saturday was so beautiful here. We had blue skies and it was a cool 40 degrees. But to us it felt good. That's so sad too...I wish I lived back in Hawaii where it was warm in the winter. :) We bundled up the kids and took them to play out in the snow. It was Jeremy's first time playing in the snow, and he didn't really like it too much. But he sure looked cute!

Then guess what Jeremy's doing now? Standing on his own!! My son is just about ready to take some steps! I'm so proud of him. It's really fun to watch him figure out these new things and be so excited about it!


Here's a bit of Bryleigh attitude this morning. I wanted to take a photo of her and she was basically telling me with this look that she was done. :) But to me she is always beautiful!


Oh, and I've lost 3 more lbs. this week!! YAY!! :) Have a great day today! :)
