Digital Sheet Uses | T-Shirts
As far back as I can remember I have always liked having that one of a kid item. It could be shoes, purses or tshirts, but I just love having one thing that no one has ever seen and when they do they come up and say “WOW that’s an awesome *insert item here*”
Now that Aubrey has come along I have transferred all this energy into her clothes. Seriously this is the best part of having a little girl (ok well not the best part but one of the good parts hahaha) Here lately we have been running into a huge problem. Everywhere we go we see some other kid wearing something she already has. Outside I say “how cute we have the same shirt” inside I am screaming “OMG what if she had worn that same shirt” I am being honest folks I have a problem.
Anyway the other night I was showing my husband some of my new designs and he started laughing and said “wow that would make an awesome tshirt” - sometimes the man earns his keep. That light bulb moment of his led to this post.
Aubrey is wearing a design from
my MUSIC DIGITAL COLLAGE SHEET
Why have I never thought of this before? I love this idea and it is so easy to do. All you will need is a pack of transfer paper from your local craft shop or you can take the design and load them to sites like Zazzle and they will print it for you.
Here I used an image from my HALLOWEEN DIGITAL SHEET
I am so excited about this idea. No more awkward moments of Aubrey and other kids in the same outfit. HAHAHA is that terrible of me :)
Happy Birthday To My Husband
Today is my husband’s birthday! I just wanted to take a moment and tell you all about him. I talk about him a lot in passing but a lot of you have no idea how amazing he is.
Joseph is an amazing athlete. After he graduated college he played arena football. He was picked up by the NFL and the night he was suppose to leave his arena team played a game that would determine if they went to the championship. He felt like not playing that game and not helping that team would be letting them down. The first play of the game he hit a wall and broke his neck. He was paralyzed.
He headed home to New Orleans and spent the next 6 months with his family. They nursed him and took care of him while he went through rehab. The doctors told him that the chance he would walk again was slim but football was completely out of the question. He kept his faith in God and continued to work hard. The next year he headed to Grand Rapids, Michigan to play for the Rampage’s Arena Football team. That year he led the team to the AFL Championship (their superbowl).
He was even featured in Men’s Health Magazine. The issue was about Amazing Athlete’s who beat the odds:
He may have lost his NFL career and his childhood dream (since then he has been picked up 2 other times and each time let go due to his medical history) but he has kept the most amazing attitude. He has taken this opportunity and started speaking to at risk kids. He uses his story as a testimony and he will always tell you that it’s ok he didn’t make it to the NFL because God had another plan for him. He says that had he gone to the NFL then our paths may never have crossed and we would have never met and never been married and never had Aubrey.
He is amazing!
From the moment we brought Aubrey home he has gotten up with her every night. When he comes home from work he sends me upstairs to work or scrapbook and he takes over Aubrey Duties. He puts her to bed every night, he gives her a bath every night, they have dance parties every night.
He is amazing!
Everyone who comes in contact with him loves him. He is that sensitive guy that notices your new haircut, picks up on your mood and if you are having a bad day will stop everything to let you vent and then tell you it will be ok.
He is amazing and I hope he has a great day!

Today I would like to introduce you to the very talented Patricia, the driving force behind Karma Crochet
My name is Patricia. I currently live in Dallas, TX but I was raised and born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I enjoy all type of crafts and I love to discover and learn new techniques as I go along. However, my main passion is yarn, a lot of them, after that paper and fabric. I’m also a cat person, so Sam , a Bengal cat, is my companion and Helper. He loves yarn as well. I had been knitting and crocheting for as long as I can remember, all started with a Barbie that had only one outfit.
If you are a regular reader of my blog then you know I am a fan of all things crocheted! I just love it and I always look at the work of talented people like Patricia in complete awe and jealousy. I want to so badly be able to make things like this but for whatever reason I was not blessed with this talent. However God made up for it by introducing me to talented folks like Patricia. I mean seriously folks look at that scarf!
Not only is Patricia the creator of that amazing scarf but she also creates jewelry and can I add really awesome jewelry! She has everything from scrabble pendants, glass pendants, to rings and brooches. I literally spent an hour in her shop just looking around at all the really cool stuff.
Like this book clip - LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!
and these absolutely perfect matchbook notepads!
Trust me when I say that there is something for everyone in Patricia’s shop!

Happy Birthday Aubrey!
Two years ago today I did something that I didn’t think was ever going to be possible. . . . I became a mommy! The doctor’s told me for 10 years that due to a hormone problem it was almost impossible for me to have children. That if I decided I was going to try I would have to undergo extensive fertility treatment and even then it was not a guarantee.
God had something different in mind and at 458PM on August 29th, 2008 I gave birth to the most beautiful little person I have ever seen:
If you would like to see all the details
of that day check out this photo book:

Over the past 2 years I have watched her grow into an independent, entertaining, fun and beautiful little girl. Every day is full of adventure and silliness. She has taught me so much about myself - things I want to improve and things that I didn’t know I was capable of.
See her first year here:

I thank God for every day he has given me with her and pray that he blesses me with so many more that I cannot even count them. She is everything that is good about me and I love being her mommy. My days are filled with laughter, lots of kisses, and amazement.
I couldn’t imagine not having this in my life:
Happy Birthday Monkey!
I love you more than roses love the sunshine!
