I just wanted to come and share a few scrapbook pages that I have done recently. *images linked for full credits*
This one may be one of my favorites of all time, I totally love how it turned out, not just the composition of it, but the colors as well. Also...mayhaps I am biased but I am in love with this picture of Becca giggling. Becca has always loved me singing to her and one of her favorites is You are my Sunshine. She has added and always tell me that I make her happy when skies are any color :) Love my baby girl!
My beautiful Sammy Bear. I want her to know that just because she is not the size she thinks she should be, does not in fact make her less of a person, less beautiful, or less important. I hate when kids deal with thyroid issues, because no matter how hard they try to eat right they are still sad and depressed. I pray we get this under control soon, love my Sammy Bear!
And here is one of my silly nutcase, Kayla. She just got her hair dyed the day before this picture was taken. It was the first time she tried anything red and she loves it but she is jealous cause mine is staying red longer hehe. I told her it was only because my hair has no idea what color it should go back to anymore lol. Love my Kay Sue!
Next time I should finally have some new ones of the hubby and I! :) I hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!

Recipe: Cinnamon Bun Waffles
Ask anyone who knows me, I am absolutely, completely, 100 % NOT a morning person. I do not do mornings. Usually for breakfast we have grits, oatmeal, or cream of wheat...because everyone can nuke it themselves! If you can not fix it, you are not eating it, end of story.
That being said, if I occasionally come across an easy to do morning recipe I may try it on a weekend morning. That is the extent of it lol. So, when I saw the idea for these waffles on pinterest I knew I had to try them. They are actually really good and so amazingly easy and quick, plus there is no mess or clean up really. Yep...this is one breakfast I will cook occasionally ... I do mean occasionally, let's not get carried away here!
First what you need are some refrigerator cinnamon buns. I use Pilsbury...and buy them on sale and use a coupon lol. Also... I throw away the frosting. Try not to stone me, but I am not a frosting lover and I try to sneak in some sugar free syrup... perhaps it might be in a regular bottle so the kids think they are getting the sweet stuff even... I mean, perhaps. *insert sneaky eyebrow raise here*
Then you take your handy dandy waffle iron, spray it with butter flavored cooking spray ... do not, I repeat DO NOT accidentally grab the olive oil cooking spray, it will taste horrid! Or so I have heard! Then put one cinnamon bun in each quadrant of the waffle iron, and close...be VERY careful how long though as it takes maybe 2 to 3 minutes only to cook these lil buggers :)
Then off course take em out and slather 'em with what ever sneaky mommy topping you may have! They are great with sliced strawberries, bananas, and a little berry syrup as well.
Oh right ... then watch your kids be totally amazed that you made breakfast as they gobble it up, afraid if they take too long it will disappear right before their little eyes. But on the plus side, with them so used to me not cooking breakfast, when I do, I get total goddess status! it rocks. Now I can drink my coffee in peace!
See ... that look is a look of awe in her eyes :)

p365 2012, week one!
Well, one week down, 51 to go! lol. I did the first week of the project 52 layouts. I am doing the project 365, taking a photo a day for the year and I am uploading them on FB, but then once the week is over I am tranforming them into a weekly layout for project 52, which will give me a beautiful book of the year at the end. Anyway, here is the first week's layout!
Now that I think about it, I probably should make a cover as well, huh? I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday! It is snowing here and it is so lovely! I am thrilled! Now, if only it would stick! hehe.
