and i am sorry for taking a lifetime to update. thank you all for requesting for an update...nice to be wanted & missed!!! i have just been in a slump...and i have had deadlines to make...being in my slump is what really had me away for so long.
thank goodness for the mail!!! i have tons of new stamps that I have been dying to use...and this is my favorite time to scrap-VALENTINE....love it when new Valentine stuff comes out...I am dying for new MM...so to address this need I pulled out last years stuff & some of my new Hero Arts (floral background & always script & "just for you") & Stampin Up (definitions & words on tiny tags)) stamps to make this hearts. I am not sure if I will hang them with ribbons or attach thne to a blank canvas I have-hummm!!
I hope these hearts inspire you & makes up for the long wait to see something new!!!
so I need to add some photos..not only were you all looking for a new post...but my Mom was looking for new photos...so let me spoil her with her pride & joys...
the holidays were sweet...Mira received one of her top wishes from Santa-a Nintendo DS lite...and she even gave Kiela her gameboy-whoa!!
Miss Kiela was happy to get a Leapster LMax...it's cool like a DS or a gameboy...but all hers!!!
you gotta love this one...she is a goof...
she's trying to get out of photos...see she has the Wii control on her arm...
so my gift from Santa was a new lens-woohooo!!
my girls have a major love for littlest pets shop, polly pockes and my little pony...and Snata brought lots of it...
this is the girls today in Kiela's room...i struggle with finding the right settings for taking photos in her room...it gets tons of light...but since it's pink, it has a weird cast when i take photos...gets very yellow...but I am trying to find my settings...
so i printed off a few of my fave photos to take and have framed...i want a cool photo wall...very inspired by PB photo walls...
I had to do a MM Blog project using a MM tool...I used the Instant Setter/Slot tool...to make notches for the tag & journal strips...and to set the brads....
Ok, i think i have made Grandma very happy...hope you all enjoy the update too...i now need to scrap Garden stuff!!! thanks for all the commments....i'll answer questions next update...
Very cute girl!!!! Take care over there! :-)

Hi hun, nice to see you back, it must be sooooooooo much pressure when you are in a scrapping slump, and have so many deadlines, and so many people who check your blog everyday (like me), you know i love your style, keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you post in the garden girls.

As always, well worth the wait! Those hearts are gorgeous, my fave it the punched out circles one, so inspiring!
This is my first time commenting, but I read your blog ALL of the time, so wanted to say that you ROCK, your girls are beautiful and I would have given my first born (but you would have quickly sent him back!) to have been there when you met Heidi - to be in the same room with both of you would have been nirvana!
Thanks for all of the inspiration girlie!!

I love your blog. I just recently found it and was already waiting for an update, lol!
Your girls are sooo adorable and your style of scrapbooking and your home are just total eye candy.
My girls are into the same toys your girls are. Don't you hate pulling those stupid rubber band things off the littlest petshop toys??
Posted by: Ariana | Saturday, January 12, 2008 at 08:21 PM
You are always inspiring, I love your hearts! So glad to see you're out of your slump!
Looks like the girls had an awesome Holiday!

Hey Keisha,
{jumping up & down} Glad to see you back!! Thanks for sharing the gorgeous projects and the pics of your girly girls...they are really growing up!
and i'm jealous, in a loving way, that you have those Stampin Up Definition stamps! I am placing an order soon but my list is SO expensive already. I didn't get them last year because of the price and I didn't think I would use them on cards, but I never thought to use them on a page!
Posted by: Carla | Saturday, January 12, 2008 at 09:58 PM
so glad you're back ... and you made it worth the wait! lol! love the hearts ... especially that one with all the holes cut out!!! did it come like that ... how have i not seen that one. lol! awesome photos as well! so jealous of your light ... we have dark and dreary weather here lately!
Posted by: laura vegas | Saturday, January 12, 2008 at 10:19 PM
I was so happy to see that you posted, yes way too long..it's frustrating to be in slump..not much fun..next time you could just post a pic and vent your frustrations!
lol..Love your hearts, your work is always so very beautiful..Loving everything!

Posted by: vicki Boutin | Monday, January 14, 2008 at 12:42 AM
I need to know - are the hearts pre-punched with the words or did you do that yourself? If the former, where can I get me some and if the latter, how did you do that? I love the look. Of course, I love everything you do. I have a whole file folder on my computer dedicated to your work.
Posted by: Joan Fowler | Monday, January 14, 2008 at 09:11 AM
I like the way you mixed black & white and color photos for your photo wall. I want to create a photo wall and I was wondering about that.

Hi Keisha, huge fan here! I see you use the same swirl often on your LO's and I'd love to know what kind of stamp (?) it is or who makes it? I must have it!!!

Great stuff and pics. thanks for keeping your "peeps" updated. I just wanted to know what is your new lens, why did you pick that one, etc. I got a new lens for Christmas as well but I don't think it is what I needed/wanted. Just trying to collect info from different scrappers to decide if I need to return it for something else, etc. Thanks.
