Tag Class Dec 13th

Hey everyone, so I finally did it. I got my stuff together and am doing a Tag Making class coming up Dec 13th at 7pm here at my new apartment. The cost is only $10 and you'll leave with 14 tags and hopefully a full tummy from yummy treats I'm going to make! If you have any questions please fill free to e-mail me at missyscraps@hotmail.com I sent out an Evite and if you didn't get an Evite please don't take it personally I couldn't find all my e-mail addresses so just let me know and I'll get you one so that you can have all the information you need. Well, here are pictures of what we'll be making that night.


This is a pouch filled with 8 tags that are my favorite. You can keep them for yourself or give them as a gift in this nice bag we'll make for them.


These are the tags that you can take home and let your children color themselves and add to their gifts for mom, dad, grandparents and others who would love to have something from the kids.


The above two pictures are a nice 3x3 card with open envelope that will add a special touch to any gift.


I might even come up with other ideas between now and then so you never now what surprises you'll find that night. Please RSVP by Dec 10th so I can have everything ready and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Love ya'll,
Melissa

Help Me!!!

So, Saturday morning daddy went to get Zoey out of bed when we heard her playing on the monitor. He went in and found this!

Of course he had to run and get his camera. He said that when he first went in she was screaming and crying and when he went to get his camera he came back and she wasn't in the same spot. So he calmed her down and put her back here so he could get a few pictures!!! He's so funny!

Well, Zoey hasn't been sleeping very well the last week or so. She has a cold and her little cough is getting horrible and she's so stuffy. Her coughing fits at night wake her and I think her throat hurts, at least it sounds like it does. My poor baby. She also just got over a yeast diaper rash. I hope things start looking better for her!

Oh, we got all moved into our new apartment and I'll get pictures put up at some point! I also saw on my camera a bunch of other posts that I have neglected to do so if you see a post come out in the next little but that should have come out months ago just laugh at me ok! I hope every one is doing great!

More Pics of Zoey!

I know I've been bad. As always life has been busy! (Who's life isn't busy, right!) Anyways, this Sat we move into our new apartment and I am SO excited! So I've been packing and getting things ready in the little time I have in between getting home from work and having to put Zoey down for bed, at which point I can no longer get anything done in the room because she's asleep! But it's all going good. Sat I got pretty much everything done, now it's just odds and ends.

Anyways, Saturday before last we went and Amy, who Clay works for editing her wedding photos (she has her own photography business). She does amazing portraits and wanted to do some of Zoey for us. Below is the link to all the pics she did for us. I am so grateful for her doing them because they are WONDERFUL! And it was our first time to do family pictures which I just love! I already know where I want hang them up at the new place! So, take a minute and look through the pictures if you want. Here are a few of my favorites...

Amy's blog (Zoey has her own post on here!): http://daisyphotostudio.blogspot.com/

I'm getting around to it!

Danielle (dbryan-danielle.blogspot.com) tagged me, that's ok, I still love her!
Ok,...
1. I talk to myself, alot! I'll have full conversations in my head. I will even use hand gestures!
2. I would rather it be 100 degrees outside then 60. Give me heat!!!
3. I love mindless tasks. I don't mind filing, typing, organizing, cutting, stuffing, folding, or any mindless task, especially when I don't feel like dealing with other stuff!
4. I enjoy getting together and being with people even if I don't talk the whole time. I love sitting back in a group of people and just watch what's going on!
5. I check my blog about 50 times a day, but I'm bad about posting or commenting on others but I LOVE when people comment on mine.
6. I collect Nativity sets. I have about 40 right now!
7. I'm shy! There are a bunch of people that I would love to get to know better but I hate going up to them first and trying to make that initial contact, it scares me to death! I guess I'm afraid of rejection or something.

Well, I guess I have to tag 7 people, uh,... ok, so since this is a random fact tag I'm just going to tag a few random people! Paige Sinclare(paigesinclair.blogspot.com) Clay Meldrum(claymeldrum.blogspot.com) Katie Curtis (thekatiecurtis.blogspot.com) Laura Silver (keepitonthedlsilver.blogspot.com) Brett & Emily Meldrum (meldrumland.blogspot.com) Jen Wecker (theweckers.blogspot.com) and... Jessica Gillespie (gillespiebunch.blogspot.com)

Hope everyone is has a great day. I'll post a better post later, I've just been getting use to work, life, and all the new fun things happening!

Zoey's 6 Month Pictures and More

When I went to Houston, my mom and I took Zoey to get her 6 month pictures taken. Below is the link to see all the pictures. I think she is just the most adorable ever!

Here are my two favorites I think...


So, I've been working for 3 whole days now and I can say that I really enjoy it! It's not bad, the only hard part is of course not seeing Zoey and Clay , and not having enough time in the day to get everything done that I need to. Things are going great though, we found an apartment that I just LOVE. We already put a deposit down and are just waiting to hear back to see if our application was approved! I really hope we get this apartment. I'm even more excited because it's a 3 bedroom and my sister is going to be coming to live with us and go to school here in Dallas! If it all works out then we will be moving Nov 15 (right around the corner!). The apartment is in The Colony which I'm sad is out of the Ward but I'm excited for the new things that life has thrown my way!

I'm also excited because this Saturday will be my first craft how! It is in The Colony in the Community Center from 9am-3pm. If anyone lives in the area you should come by and say hi! My friend Danielle and I got a booth together and we're excited to enter this new world of craft shows! If it goes well then we will find others to do, otherwise it will just be another fun day hanging out with Danielle.

Well, I'm tired and have to work tomorrow so I guess I'd better go to bed! Hope life is going well for everyone!

A New First

Well, it's finally happened. Zoey's sick :( She's had a runny nose the last week or so but yesterday and today it turned nasty green. She also had a low fever last night. Her eyes started to get goopy too so I called the Pedi to see what I can do to help relieve some of her congestion. She hasn't been able to finish a whole bottle at any feeding for a week now and I just want her to be back to normal! He wanted to me to come and and so I did. He checked her out and said I did good to catch it and call early like I did because if I had waited a day or two more then she would have had a full blow ear infection too. So now I have oral and eye drop antibiotics to give her for the next few days. I can tell that she's not feeling her best because she's been sleeping more and has been especially clings and grumpy today.

Well, such is life! At least she's still a mostly happy baby and we caught it early so we can take care of everything and be back to normal in no time!
