Some cards I've made

I have made some cards for friends and family for various joyous occassions. Here are some of my latest creations.








Father's Day card for Sophia's grandpa Joe (My FIL)












Engagement card congratulating my friend Ive who snatched the last good Dominican man. Don't hate I'm Dominican I know what I'm talking about. LOL. Green is also Ive's fave color.

Remember Eric and Ive- I'm the flower girl!









For my friend Sheila, to welcome baby Sabrina to the world.
















This is a card holder for our friends Desiree, Kelvin and big sister Samantha who welcomed baby Logan. I can't fid the picture of the card.

My Latest LOs

As I wrote before I took a BPS class called "a Baker's Dozen" and loved it. so much fun.
Here are some of the LOs I got to make. Hope you like....

This is one of my favorites. Is my mom's first picture with Sophia. Did you guys know that Sophia and her Mama (my mom) share a birth day. She always tells me I gave her the best birthday present ever: her princesa Sophia.

In honor of my Latin Scrap Divas. This is a pic we took during our "annual" reunion in Orlando.
I LOVE these ladies. And while we might be busy with work, family and other things I know we'll always be friends.

Sophia on Easter Sunday. Don't you just love those Bunny ears? (I really need to learn to take better pics. LOL)

Last year's Mini-vacation at the Jersey shore. I wanna go back........

A family picture at Sophia's baptism on 5/25..

That's all for now. Stay tuned

I've been working...

Believe it or not. I've been scrapping a lot (for me) lately. I took a Big Picture Scrapbooking class titled A Baker's Dozen. Just as the title suggests I made over 13 LOs. Well actually more than 13 since a couple of them were double. I LOVED this class and I'm so excited because I actually scrapped something. I didn't get to finish the 13 LOs, so I'm still looking forward to completing 2 or 3 left.

I might complete them at a crop on the 19th. Yes, you read that right me, yo, moi will be attending a CROP. My very first and I'm so excited. It appears it'll be just a couple of girls so that'll be even nicer. This is being hosted at one of my Meetup groups. What? you don't know what meetup is and you live in US? Girllllll, get yourself to http://www.meetup.com/ and look around you might be able to find a group of crazy women just like you. Yeah, I'm speaking for myself. LOL no, seriously I love meetup. I'm a member of 4 scrapbooking or card making groups and 1 soap making group. Since I'm with Sophia by myself on weekends I haven't been able to attend any of the classes but as my DH is in hiatus from nursing school last w/e I attended one soap making class and I LOVE it!!!

Gosh, I'm just going to go crazy, so much fun, crafty stuff to make and so little time and $$.
Speaking of $ I'll be making crafty stuff for a big sale my building complex is having. All 9 buidings will participate. I already reserved my table. Hopefully I'll finish everything I plan to sell.

What?? Ohh were are the LOs? well, I haven't finished my Baker's Dozen yet, so once I'm done you'll be able to look at them. Have some patience as I have a one year old who's ready to walk any minute now so John and I have no peace until she goes to sleep. I love my baby girl.

Come back soon....

Some Crafty Stuff

Since this blog is becoming more of a "my life as a mom and wife" I am posting some pics of some of the things I made for Sophia's B-day party. I want to thank my friends Ive for selling me her Cricut Expression (I still haven't even paid her), Liz for sending me the wire for the invites (even though I didn't use it), and my friend Leelee for making and printing the beautiful labels for the souvenirs. You ladies made this birthday a success.

Invites

These are the souvenirs with the labels that my friend Leelee designed and printed. Gracias mi compa!






Supplies for ladybug hats



Decoration





Ladybug "light fixtures"

Centerpieces (they weren't finished- missing the "grass")

Seeing Spots (literally)

NOTE: Just wanted to add that Sophia does NOT have Chicken Pox. She has a virus that causes little spots on hte skin. Thank the Lord!

We had Sophia's BIG birthday bash on the 24th. We had many friends and family over. It was a great day (weather-wise) and so we made use of the garden. I made the invites, centerpieces, got all the pieces for kids to make their own ladybug hats, and my dear friend (sister) Leelee made the labels for the souvenirs.



It was a wonderful day. The only problem was that Sophia was not feeling well and I had twisted my ankle so we were both in bad shape. But our little girl looked adorable in her red, halter dress (I giggle when I picture her in that dress).



Our computer is acting up, so these pictures are courtesy of my friend Angie. Enjoy the ladybug party pics.

The cake was delicious

Say Cheese!




Sophia hamming it up for the camera



What's a Birthday without a piñata?








Can you see the family resemblance? LOL





These Pics were taken on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday afternoon we took Sophia to the ER as she was running a fever and had some red spots on her belly. Her Pediatrician told us to take her to the hospital. She was diagnosed with Chicken Pox. Now we're really seeing spots. She's back to her sunny, happy self, just with spots. hehehe

Proud Owner

Of a ONE year old little girl!! Actually she owns us (me and her daddy, lol)

Sophia turned the big 1 on Friday May 16th. We have her big party planned for the 24th, but John got a cake at Stew's and had some friends and family over at my job to sing Happy Birthday to her. She loved it!! the singing, the cake. She ate chocolate cake and made Hmmm noises. It was hilarious.

Then she started feeling crappy on Saturday night, and by Sunday night she had a small fever. We got her to the doctor on Monday and were told that she seems to be ok, but might be fighting some bug. This morning she woke up and started hanging from our bedframe, so that means she's doing well.

Thank God she's back to her old self- crawling, singing (yes, she sings!), dancing and just being her sweet, happy self.

Pictures from both birthday celebrations wil be posted soon. Stay tuned!
