Our Sweet Baby Girls First Photo Shoot

                        

The first official picture of my sweet niece!! Everyone meet Patience Roze (oohhh fancy!!) She was born on November 21, at 10:51 pm, She weighs 7 lbs 14 oz. and is 20 inches long. She already has the diva personality and seems to be happiest when the family paparazzi is pursuing every coo, every sigh and every single move she makes!! I think in the span of the first 18 hours of her little life, there have been a gazillion pictures taken of her...

I have to say being with my sister when she was born was probably one of the most amazing thing that I have ever seen, I myself was pretty comatose (thank you Mr. Epidural!!) when Riley was born so this was the first time I had ever witnessed something so bigger than any of us. Jamie is such an amazing woman, she went into early labor Tuesday morning and finally delivered last night,,all I can say is WOW!! So I just want to say,,Here's to my Rock Star sister who has given us all the most wonderful thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving................

Welcome to the world our sweet baby girl!! Patience Rose.. 11/21/07. 10:51 pm 7 lbs 14 oz....we are all going to go take a nap........To play video messages sent to email, QuickTime® 6.5 or higher is required.

..The Waiting is the hardest Part

I wish I had better news.....lol,, Jamie is still here at the hospital...they let her go all night at 3 cm and are now taking the steps to progress her labor a little bit more. Hopefully by this afternoon, I will be posting pictures of our sweet baby girl.... This morning as I was outside for a bit, the sunrise was hot pink and purple and as I turned to walk back into the hospital I looked up and there was a rainbow a full arch one from one end of the hospital to the other..pretty cool...

No baby yet...Jamie is sleeping

No baby yet...Jamie is sleeping if u can really call it that........

Well we made it to

Well we made it to Maine..No noews yet..Jamie is still at 3cm...will check in later

...Welcome Little One......

My cousin Kevin's wife Catherine had their baby Sunday morning, I am not sure of all the details as Kevin was quite tired when he called everyone and like a bad game of Operator the facts have now become somewhat blurry.. Here is what I do know:

He is adorable, He weighs 8 lb 8 oz , His name is Joseph Augustine (both family names) and he is already so loved by us all.......

...My First Bella...Ever...

Red today, in honor of my First ever Bella card!! My friend Jennifer sent me these because Riley has a jacket just like this one and I fell in love with the stamp, but just haven't gotten it yet. I am thinking that perhaps I have stumbled upon a new obsession!! I combined most of my favorite things in this card.. Doodlebug DP, my Snowflake EF from Cuttlebug and Glitter, lots of glitter, (Sorry Miss I, I know how much you LOVE glitter!!) You can't really see it, but her hood, cuffs and pom poms have liquid pearl fabric puff paint and glitter, and it looks pretty cool IRL if I do say so myself........

Snow messing around now!!!

One again Linda Nicholson has posted a fantastic tutorial on SCS. This time for an Acetate Card that is totally awesome. There is actually a whole Gallery set up specifically for all of the cool cards that everyone has made. I love how they all look. Pretty fancy smancy if you ask me... I just used some red and light blue cardstock from The Paper Company. Michaels Dots and Swirls Red Ribbon,White Stazon Ink and The stamps are from Inkadinkado

I love the snowman and making this card today has suddenly put me in the Christmas Spirit, although while we were at Michael's one can't help but notice the gigantic countdown clock that Riley dashes over to every single time we are there and she shouts across the store just how many days, minutes and yes even seconds until Christmas. With all the commercials, and radio reminders, its kind of hard to not think about how rapidly it is approaching! Why is there never a countdown to Thanksgiving, why is it that we always go from Halloween straight to Christmas, Thanksgiving kinda gets snowed over (yes pun intended).. But I mean for Christmas cards, there are so many cute stamps, and I have yet to see a cute turkey........

...Gone a little baby crazy these days......

Ok so not only is my sister Jamie ready to pop any day now, my cousin Catherine is due the 11th of this month and I just found out this week that two of my friends (Hi Jenn and Amy) are also expecting. So what we have here is a classic case of Baby madness. I am psyched to be able to get so much use out of this stamp set (Bundle of Joy from SU in case you didn't already know! ) I am still perfecting my gamsol technique, little by slow I am getting there, although I can now finally say that I have mastered the Cuttlebug and it has not beaten me...no more squished fingers or pinched skin (you didn't know they could be so dangerous did you ?? well they are !! ) So now that I have sent off my baby cards... I will just sit back and wait and I am sure that someone soon will be telling me that it is time again to break out the baby stamps so that I can make some more cards.. come on...who's next...things always happen in 3's...two down...one to go....any takers?????
