Only A Daughter Could Love this Face

I had a BLAST doing this layout.....I think it speaks for itself! Dd loves when I make this face so I tried to make the layout mimic that crazy happy feeling she gets!

TThoughTs Challenge :: What is Your Hidden Talent?

I have only one hidden talent that I could really think of....I can dance. It's always been a dream of mine to become a professional dancer, but I could never get used to doing the same steps over and over. I love the freedom of letting a song take over my body and enliven me to my very soul. It's the only time when I really feel free and totally uninhibited. I trust myself when I dance....I have to worry if I look good or if I am "doing it right". It feels right to me and that's what matters. I know I got my "groove" from my mother's family. Both my mom and my abuelita are fantastic dancers. We feel the beat in our hearts instead of listen to it with our ears. I've even seen this "talent" in my daughter. She loves to rock to the music, which she plays all the time. I can't wait for the day when we can dance together!

Could this day have been any better???

I am seriously typing as my eyes close.....but I just have to get this down! I started the day being able to sleep in until 9:30 {luv ya honey!}. I got up, headed downstairs and saw a package on the kitchen table...what was in it you ask? TONS OF HEIDI SWAPP STUFF from Shirley at The Scrapbook Stand! I dumped that box out and just gazed at it all. The dork in me was forced to photograph this momentous event...who knows when I'll have this much HS in my hands again! The goodies will be going into the Ad Challenge RAK's that I run over at www.thescrapbookstand.com These RAKS are going to ROK!!

Ok, so then I play with my beautiful daughter who totally learns to climb up the stairs today...and I mean ALL THE WAY up the stairs....like lightening. Now I realize why motherhood is so tiring...man this child can MOVE! We had a great day together...my mom and bro stopped by to play with Sarah and hang out. I even got some great pic of the fall leaves in our backyard....just a lovely day.

Then I find out from my friendly "enabler", Tracey, about an AWESOME cruise opportunity....that I might just HAVE TO DO.....wink wink.

And to put the nightcap on this awesome day....I had a great chat with Shirley (the owner of TSS)...and she asked me to be a co-design team coordinator with Brandy!! OMG!!! I nearly jumped up and down and started giggling right there!! What an honor and a half. I'm still smiling....even as my eyes are shutting. It's 2:35am here and I almost don't want to go to bed so that this day won't end. But, alas, I must. Dh is out of the house all day tomorrow so no sleeping in for me....But who needs sleep when you are this happy?!?!

DESIGN TEAM TOOOOT!!

I am so proud to say that not only am I a part of The Scrapbook Stand's awesome design team, but now I am also a member of the Rustic Artisans team as well!! The team is uber talented and I am just beside myself that I was actually chosen! I'll be doing the happy dance for a LONG time!

Happy Halloween!!

Sarah had a great first Halloween! We went trick or treating on the block and had family over so see our little princess. It's just too bad she won't be able to eat all the candy she got.....oh well, more for me!!
