I'm really looking forward to printing out a bunch of these papers and embellishments! Although I scrapbook digitally nowadays, I still like to make handmade cards. It definitely helps me feel more "crafty" when I've got my glue and scissors out. Some of these papers are too gorgeous not to play with and this kit is going to be the basis of my Mother's Day card this year for my mom. :) As a little side fun, if you happen to make a card with this kit, post an image of it in our forum and come back here and link me up to it by May 5th for a chance to win a $20 GC to my shop! :)

I'm so excited about a new kit in my shop today!

It seems the universe has deemed that it's my lot in life right now to be sick all the time (think flu x 3) BUT I've managed to actually get some work done despite the ickies. Yay!

You can buy this kit separately if you just want the papers or the elements, but you can definitely save a little bit if you buy them both together. All new releases are 30% off for the next couple of days so grab them when they're at the best price! :)

the headaches

This little one is suffering. She has been plagued with really bad headaches for a while that make her nauseaus. She loses her appetite and becomes sluggish and tired. I was hoping that she was just dehydrated or overworked but they keep coming so we're going to have to take the next step and get her to a doctor.

I understand her pain, though. I've been plagued with optical auras that lead to severe headaches for years now. I'm really hoping this isn't the case with Mia but only time and a proper diagnosis will tell, I guess. It's very disheartening to feel helpless when your child is in pain. I'm hoping we can get this resolved quickly. It just makes me so sad. :(

$1 1/27

Just in time for Valentine's Day! :) A fun little lovey dovey kit to add to your stash. Head on over to my shop to pick it up for just $1 or simply click on the image below to be taken directly to it.

Hurry because after January 31, it will return to regular price!

dietary habits

I haven't been feeling my best lately so I decided to eat healthier and try and get to feeling better. Well, my kids must have been paying attention while we were in Target because I picked up a NutriBullet and was reading the box and lo and behold...under the Christmas tree was this little beauty.

It really was the best Christmas present ever. Well, aside from the new watch that Colin got me. ;)

So, my morning routine has changed slightly. I try to have a fruit and veggie-packed smoothie each morning plus one in the afternoon. I have to admit I've been feeling a lot better. The smoothies fill me up and give me a lot of energy. It's much needed since I now design at home and work outside of the house part-time. Trying to stay on top of everything while adjusting to our new life in the States along with renovating our "new to us" old house...well, let's just say it's a little overwhelming at times and I really need to be at my best physically.

I'm hoping that I continue to feel better. I think I may have had one too many servings of mac and cheese over the holidays. ;)

the new infatuation

Lara's, that is.

She's waaaay into The Hunger Games. I can't blame her. I devoured the books when I first heard of them. Lara's headed to a sleepover this weekend with a new friend and the mom mentioned to me that the girlies might want to watch the movie and I didn't want Lara to be behind the curve. Since I'd already read them, I'd deemed them appropriate for her age.

She has just finished reading Huckleberry Finn and our copy of Aesop's Fables. As long as she keeps up with the classics like we've asked her to, then I don't mind her dabbling in a little of the lighter stuff. It's a good mix and she is really loving this series.

$1 1/21

Continuing with our month-long $1 sale, here's another fun little element pack for you! Head on over to my shop or simply click on the image to be taken to my store.

After January 31, it will return to regular price!

Hello all!

We've been busy, busy painting our house over the last week. I can't wait til it's all done. Right now I'm typing on my kitchen table and my office has been displaced to the living room. It's not pretty.

What is pretty, though, is my new $1 item in my shop! Hop on over to pixelsandcompany.com to pick it up for yourself. :) After January 31, it will return to regular price!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I've got a long weekend full of getting paint in and out of my hair. :)
