Yeah, I think it's time for an update, don't you?
We had a wonderful Christmas. Did the girls get their wish lists fulfilled? We'll let the pictures tell the story...
My favorite parts?
Seeing my parents, spending not nearly enough time, but every minute we could with my sister Jen and hubby, Rick. Holding my newest nephew, Cade as often as they'd let me. Feeding him, getting him to smile and rocking him to sleep. Watching my nephew Noah go seriously ga-ga over his trucks. That kid is something else, let me tell you. Watching my girls LOVE playing with their cousins, especially Natalie telling Noah to "quit bugging me!!" and blaming him every time something goes wrong. My girls are so deprived by not having any brothers, how will they ever learn to deal with being teased?! Less time in therapy, right 5-older-brothers-of-mine? :-)
What we've been up to since then?
Celebrating mine and Nate's 31st birthdays. Good friends who love me and take me out. Eating lots of chocolate birthday cake. Visiting Nate's family for baptisms and birthday parties. Stressing out over our future job situation far more than we should have. Too many sicknesses and colds. Enjoying every second we have together now that Nate's degree is DONE. Making new goals and actually following through (some of the time). Looking forward to CHANGE and being scared to death, all at the same time.
Some of my projects lately..
Making valentines with the girls...
Doing a little digi-scrapping, while learning some new Photoshop techniques...

(Impact and Lainey Day fonts)Oh, and I nearly forgot... I promised a picture of our Christmas card once I mailed them all out. It took me until January to get them in the mail, but I did it! Here's the finished product...
This was the 4x6" image I created in Photoshop. I had them printed at Costco and they turned out beautiful.
Then I mounted them to a sheet of green or red card stock and then mounted that to a 5x7" white card. So easy.

It's so nice to see you back on your blog again! I can't wait for GNO, I haven't seen you in forever!
Your girls are adorable! And I love your page and christmas card.
I would love to have you help me with my blog...I love, love, love yours!
Those are really cute. I have got to learn this photo shop thing. Mine is sitting in a drawer.
Oh my gosh I nearly keeled over when I saw a new post. Shayla? Shayla who? Love the new projects. Can't wait for you to teach me all kinds of new tricks ;-)
Yay! You posted! I love all of your photos, but your MEMORIES page was my favorite. You are so talented.
Shayla, I am loving all of the cute projects you have been making. Thanks for sharing them! I also love the Christmas card you created, you sure are one super talented lady.
The picture of you looks beautiful Shay.
You are so darn talented. Glad to see an update!
Hey Shayla! I've been reading your blog for a while (I started at the beginning) so when I caught up several months ago, there were very few posts since then, so I'm glad you've gotten a chance to post!
I love your Christmas card, it's beautiful! I love your digiscrapbooking pages, you do such a great job!
Thanks for finding my blog and commenting!
You look so gorgeous in that picture!! I love that page. So happy to see a blog post from you.
Great update! You've been busy! I love all the projects you've been working on! Can I just say (as Natalie's preschool teacher) that she won't be writing her name to be read in a mirror forever. :) It's common for lefty's to do that! :) She's such a cutie.
You are so awesome, Shay! I love your projects. I so loved your Christmas card too. I am just so impressed...I want to be like you. :D
WOW! You're so creative!!! I love what you've done! (And I had to scroll FAST past the Nintendo DS - all 4 of my boys wanted one, but Santa didn't bring any).
