Hello? Anyone there?

I noticed my readership decreased in followers and google reader since my inactivity. I guess that's what happens when you don't blog. Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me!! :)

My Ella Bella is 6 months today! She is such an awesome, happy baby but she requires lots of attention - cause she's growing leaps and bounds everyday! I'm also busy prepping for Audrey's 4th birthday which is 2 weeks away! Yikes. So, doesn't leave me much time to do much of anything else. And oh lucky me, Ella still doesn't sleep through the night. In fact, her "routine" has gotten worse. She routinely wakes every 2 hours. :(

Okay, enough babble... how is everyone else? I'm hoping to get back into the groove. Frankly, nothing has inspired me to do so until.... Paper Crafts announced their Gallery Idol 2010 contest. It's a great boost to start creating again.

I sure am rusty in the creative department, so to whet my feet a bit, I created this simple thank you card. Hope it's up to standards. :)


Funny, right after I was done with this card.. the creative juices started flowing. Right now, I just have to find time.

I leave you with these photos from the weekend





These were all taken in a studio at Times Square on Saturday. Uhm... on the exact location where the car bomb was found an hour after we left. Scary.

  6. I'm a new reader to your blog and totally understand how hard it is to blog with little ones. I have two, too. All your creations are so fabulous creative and fun, and I totally don't mind if you don't blog often. I won't kick you out of my reader for taking off time for the really important stuff, like family! :-) Hugs, Carly

  8. really... people unsubscribe? whatever for? Isn't the beauty of RSS "notification" when content is created? So I'll always be here, and what a treat to see your pictures and your family!!! And glad that bomb didn't go off and hurt anyone, so glad.
