Finally it has snowed enough for the kids to play in it - and for me to grab some fun pictures. It has been at least two years since I have had pictures of the kids in the snow................

TAG? MAYBE?
You are probably reading my title going huh? No there is TAG coming....not sure if it was directly tagged to me......I read Janna Wilson's blog. She is a fave of mine- very down to earth, I love her scrapbook style, & her kids are so adorable. Anyway, she tagged someone named Tami......and it is even spelled the way Tami should be spelled- so I jumped on it & said "this HAS to be to me!" LOL! ya right. But, it is a fun tag-even though I do not care for my middle name. Here goes.................................
the rules.....1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name).3. After you are tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and your answers.4. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and that they need to read your blog for details.)So - here are my answers:
D- direct....I tell ya like it is. No beating around the bush, which I have been told by my friends that is something that they appreciate about me-go figure?
A- advocate- this is a given. I am an advocate for those with facial differences. My son has a bilateral cleft lip & palate......and he is the cutest,craziest kids you'll ever meet! I am also a pathfinder for cleftAdvocate.
W- work a holic. I cannot stop, cannot say NO, and will do anything for anyone. I work, work, work. Is there a work a holics anonymous?!
N- neat freak. I just like things tidy, no clutter. I am by no means organized, or wash my windows everyday. I just like the surface to look presentable. I am constantly going through the house & doing my 'pick ups'. It is never ending.
ok now I must tag.......uuuuummmm! Who are the lucky 4? Of coarse Cori (hers will be the easiest by far). Amanda (lets see what your middle name is???) Tina (yep 1st tag baby!) & my sweet Kristi (she allows me to do what I love)

A small attempt at.......
.......ORGANIZATION. I started my attempt to organize my scraproom. My dad installed some shelves for me so that I could display some of my embellishments. When they are all tucked away I forget what I have. So now what is hidden is alter-able projects, my albums, paints, photos, & my stamps. My drawers now house my Cricut cartridges and sizzix die-cuts, ink pads and punches. Here are a few pics so show my progress. I still have more to do..... a lot more. I have not figured out a way to organize my rubons and stickers etc. If you have ANY ideas please share............

Love via the mail
Here is a cute little mailbox that I decorated for Crop Paper Scissors.....it really got me into Valentines Day a month early- which I have never been a fan of Valentines Day, or all the hearts and things since my birthday is February 13th it seemed like my birthday cake was heart shaped or my presents were wrapped in Valentine-ish paper.......I just hated it. Kinda like if you were born on Christmas- both holidays were mushed into one, rather than a celebration of both. Anyway, making the mailbox was just fun. I hope I have Valentine pics to take to scrapbook this year! The store got in some beautiful Cosmo Cricket & My Minds Eye papers that are to die for!

Blankie & Moose'y'
You probably did not know that we have a Blankie & a Moose'y' who live in the Rowden household. These are two special friends of Jayton's since- FOREVER.
Blankie is his Peanuts blanket that his Great Aunt Fran made when he was born. As a baby it was here and there but he did not have an attachment to it- but as Jayton got older, it was THE blanket. He does not carry it everywhere like Linus in the Peanuts cartoon, but he does sleep with that blankie every night. The blankie also makes an appearance every morning as he strolls into the living room with it wrapped around him.
Moose'y' is Jayton's stuffed Moose that he got from his 'Silly' Grandma Roseann when he was born. It was a fave cuddle toy when he was a little baby and it has continued to be the one stuffed friend he chooses to sleep with at night.
Ashlyn never had any type of a sentimental attachment to toys or anything like Jayton has. Jayton is just growing up so fast that his Blankie & Moose'y' help keep him my baby just a little while longer........
