Baby's First Football Game!

We took Preston to his first ever Jaguars game yesterday!! Everyone(i.e. my parents) thought it was going to be this horrible experience and that we would be leaving with him like 10 minutes into the game. Well, though he slept through the 2nd quarter and half-time, he did awesome! I think he loved just taking in all the sights and watching what was going on around us. He got excited when we cheered and had such a good time! I am so glad I didn't listen to everyone that was trying to bring me down about taking him. Doing what I knew would be a good thing turned out to be a great family experience! It can get rather difficult when you have people pitching their opinion in, especially when it goes against what you think in regards to your baby. Is there a nice way to say "I spend all day and night with him, so I know him and his personality...you don't, so back off!" ?? Haha I didn't think so! Anyway...here are some pics from tailgating!

Great day!

We definately took full advantage of having everyone home for the Veteran's Day holiday. My mom, DH, Kayla and Preston all went to a place called Conner's Amaizing Acres in Hilliard, FL today. They have a HUGE maze that is cut into a cornfield. I thought the maze was really cool and was enjoying trying to figure our way out. They also had goats to feed and pet, a cow train ride, a hayride, some slides, a pumkin patch and some other stuff. We got there around 10:30 and headed home around 12:30. We had a nice lunch at Cracker Barrell, cmae home and watched a movie, had dinner, and here I am alone in the living room with everyone else in bed. Back to the grind we go! Anyway...here are pics from today!








Okay well there are a few more that I want to add, but it's not loading them right now...GRR!!

Halloween Layout

Hope you like!



Papers, stickers and rub-ons by Moxxie

Chipboard letters by BoBunny

The corners are made from strips of a paper sheet I had, with the Moxxie paper as the actual corner part.

New stuff!

So, today I went to PIT to get some stuff by Moxxie. They are having a design team call so I figured what the hell, it's worth a shot...right? They want two of the 5 layouts that are submitted to be 75% Moxxie product, and since I had 0%, I had to get some! I got some Halloween papers, stickers and rub-ons, and some Christmas papers, stickers and rub-ons. I also got some GORGEOUS chipboard pieces by Bisous. I am so in love with them and am really anxious to find something to go with them.

Anyway....I got done doing a Halloween layout with the Moxxie stuff, and I must say, it's really cute! I'll take a picture and post it tomorrow!

I have a blog now! I have become addicted to other people's blogs (mainly awesome scrappers!) and decided that I will give it a go myself. I am somewhat new into scrappin'. I've had the papers, albums, embellishments, stickers, etc. for about two years now, and in that time I did a whole ONE layout. Go me! haha! I have recently decided to jump back in head first with some major motivation and inspiration from a scrapping group attached to a playgroup I am in.

Anyway...A little bit about me! My name is Amanda, I am 25, and I live in Orange Park, FL. I am married to a great man named Chad, and have two great kids...my stepdaughter Kayla is 7 and my son Preston is 10 1/2 months. Right now I am a SAHM, but am looking to re-enter the workforce, part-time to start off.

Hopefully I will keep up with this...we'll see! I will start with two layouts I have done in the past two days that I am proud of for being a newbie!
