Welcome Abby!

Ok, for those of you that read my post yesterday... funny story. I actually went into labour at 8pm on wed night. We went to the hospital at around 4:00 am and spend about 2 hours in triage in the maternity ward and then they moved me to my room at around 6:00 am. I had the most amazing nurses, I was able to get in the bath with the jets for a bit too so that was kewl. Once i was out though at around 7 am it started to get really tough but she was born at 8:10 October 14, 2010. My parents 53rd wedding anniversary!

It went amazingly well. As soon as I delivered her they asked if I wanted her right away and I said of course. So they put her on my chest and she slapped me right in the mouth with her mucus cover hand! AWESOME!

So we welcome Abigail Barbara Christina Woodland

Then at about 2pm they said everything was good and we went home with our new baby!

How handsome is he?

Little Red Wagon

2SF's Friendzy Friday!

Hey All,

Here is a little tutorial I did on a flower I created for the forum over at Two Scrapbook Friends! I used a ton of glue dots but it was worth it!

First I punched 7 1 3/8" circles out of pattern paper.


Then I put a pinch in one end and glue dotted it together.


Do this to all of the circles.


The glue dot them together one at a time.


About half way through I sniped the ends off so the center wouldn't be too crowded.


Finish attaching it together in a circle.


Punch a 1" circle out of a coordinating paper and adhere for the center.


Finally put it on a card! :)


Would love to see if you try to make one of these!
