Our Baby Girl!!!

Our Baby Girl is Finally Here!!!

Sophia Colleen

Born January 25th, 2014

at 5:41 AM

6 lbs. 9 oz.

19-1/2" long

 

We decided to name her middle name after my mom Colleen. After 6 grandchildren no one had used her name at all. This is the 7th and most likely last grandchild so we really wanted to honor my mother. We also took our newborn photos ourselves. Photography has gotten so expensive lately and we do have a very nice Nikon D3100 SLR camera. We set her up on blankets on our bed and opened the blinds, put her in a super cute tutu outfit my friend Staci made (super adorable!), and took about 200 pictures! Yay, scrapbooking here I come! ;-) I'm excited about this year and scrapbooking. I hope to really catch up on my son's pictures from his 1st year and both pregnancy pictures. 

Lots of exciting things this year! Especially new GOALS that I have this year....blog more, make more cards, scrapbook more, possibly create a stamping ONLINE KIT CLUB?? How fun would that be?! Then I would HAVE to make cards on a MONTHLY basis ;-) I hope to plan this and get it going as soon as THIS month!

I also plan to start my monthly card class again! These cards would be the same as my monthly online club cards. I'm excited to start these again as I didn't have much energy while chasing my almost 20-month old and being 10 months pregnant! I'm not sure how I'll do STILL chasing my 20-month old and nursing my 1-week old, but it will be nice to have a hobby and do something for me. :-) 

Hope to see more followers comment and get involved with my blog! I hope to do MORE GIVEAWAYS in 2014 too!!!

Happy Stamping!

Introducing Paper Pumpkin...your creativity carriage awaits!

 

Sign up for my Paper Pumpkin monthly kit HERE! https://mypaperpumpkin.com?demoid=2114534

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .
I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:
All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!
Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

Get Started

It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!
Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.  
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!)
• There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

Here's How You Order

Sign up for your monthly Paper Pumpkin starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Enter me as your Demonstrator: Charlene Becker

Questions? We've Got Answers

Why are we offering Paper Pumpkin?
Paper Pumpkin is the perfect introduction to Stampin' Up! We designed it for crafters that want to create a project each month, but aren't quite ready to build a stamp collection (yet).
How does shipping work with Paper Pumpkin?
Your Paper Pumpkin will be automatically shipped to you each month (so fun!). Because we are auto shipping these, the pricing structure is slightly different from our other Stampin' Up! products.

I love this and can't wait for my Paper Pumpkin escape!!!

Sweet Stampin,
Charlene :)
