March's Template Challenge

Let's here it for this sleep deprived mom for getting the March template out on time :-) It took me all month to work on it, 10 minutes here, 5 there, with a baby and a 4 year old I have to steel time when I can.

When you download the template you will also receive a download for a coupon good for an additional 10% off my Lucky Me Combo Pack.


if you are new to my template challenge I put a twist on it this year.

* Every month is a double layout
* If you finish the left side by the last day of the month you will receive a coupon code to get the right side for free!
* Play two consecutive months and receive the double page coupon code at the start of the month
* However if miss a month, then you have to start over again with doing two months in a row to get the double page at the start of the challenge.

Happy 2012

In case you are wondering no I didn't fall off the planet, I had a baby!
Alexander Lucas was born at 34 weeks gestation via emergency c-section on November 3, 2011.
I created this video of the my pregnancy and the birth of Alexander.

Make a video - it's fun, easy and free!
www.onetruemedia.com

I don't have much time to design or scrap right now because Alex was a preemie and is having some problems. So all my time is on him or my older son Anthony.

I finally finished this month's Template Challenge for Natural Designs in Scrapbooking

I decided to change things up with the template challenge in 2012. Each month there will be a DOUBLE template created. The left side will be free to download for the challenge. When you participate in this challenge and upload your finished layout before the deadline in our gallery and in the challenge forum, you will receive the right side as a thank you for joining me in this challenge.

Since this challenge is starting late you have until Feb 16 to upload the left side of the template. After the deadline all those who have participated will receive a PM from me with the coupon code for the right side.

Here's the link to download the left side.

I heart my uncle FREEBIE

My son had so much fun yesterday on the train ride he didn't want to leave when it was over.


We had lunch together then stopped by to see my Aunt and Uncle who are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary Aunt Mer and Uncle Vinnie we love you!

They were outside enjoying the afternoon when we got there, and right away my uncle gets out this riding truck for my son. Anthony ended up crashing into everything, the wall, the chair, the table even a tree. I couldn't look anymore! it was his first time driving and clearly he needs more practice.

Driving that truck clearly had some major impact on my little guy, more than the train ride! This morning while getting ready he told me he didn't want to go to school. When I asked him why, this was the answer:

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

if you don't understand "Anthony speak" he said
"I want to go see Uncle Vinnie"
"because I want to see"
"because I want to play with the big car"

This inspired today's freebie:

Happy Father's Day!!!

I've really been looking forward to having a family day. We are heading to a train museum and going on a train ride. I made the mistake of telling him we were going on a train ride and he's been asking and asking when we are going.

I am excited to capture new pictures of my husband with my son and if I'm lucky get a few of myself with my little boy. I hope you all enjoy yourself and capture your own memories on camera. Here's a little word art for you to add to your pages.
