A few weeks ago my daughter had a cultural festival at her school.  I had promised her that I would make a traditional dutch outfit for her.  Well, I had ordered the fabric a while back, but my big pregnant belly had made it too hard to cut and reach my sewing machine, so I had to wait till after Benji was born.  That only gave me two sleep deprived weeks to make it.  I managed to get it finished just in time and it turned out way better than I expected.  I know that pumpkins in the photo are a bit deceiving as to when I took the photo, but I really just haven't gotten around to getting rid of them yet.  lol.  And just in case anyone is wondering where I got my fabric and pattern (for once I actually didn't just wing it and used a real pattern for the first time) I got it at fields fabrics .  They shipped really fast and I'll probably be making ones for my little dudes soon.

Am I a bit crazy? Probably.  I don't know too many people who put their newborns on a sled in the snow for a photo opportunity, but it is a once in five year thing that we get 12 inches of snow in seattle.  Oh, and the snow only lasted 3 days before it was completely melted.  And Benji completely didn't care or realize he was even outside. Anyways, here is my layout for  the memory nest .  I feel like I have so much energy again to scrapbook and it is awesome.  My scrapbooking area is a disaster though.  It will take me a while to get it all cleaned up, but I'm looking forward to really being able to scrapbook again.

A layout for my new little guy!  It's really nice to get back to scrapbooking and to fit at my desk again.  I kind of feel like the past few months have been a bit of a blur.  My last 6 weeks of pregnancy didn't go as well as I would have liked, but my little guy was able to come a week early and that was a big change to the two weeks late that I'm used to. This is my layout for the memory nest today.  The title is easier to read in person and does look less crazy.  My sleep deprived brain is able to figure it out at least....or maybe this is what the inside of my sleep deprived brain looks like. lol.

He's here!  My littlest one, Benji! Born on January 11, 2017, our little Benjamin Victor has melted all of our little hearts!  And he really is my littlest one at only 8lbs 9oz.  I went in for a check up and my blood pressure had risen again so I got to be induced a week early!  It's quite the change from my older two, when I was induced because I was two weeks past my due date.  I was kind of hoping not to be induced this time around, but clearly that was just not going to happen.
