Ok, so I'm adjusting to having a newborn around. I think you forget that they wake up every 2-3 hours during the night! It's so worth it though!

There are only a few days left to sign up for my Photoshop classes! Click here to find out more.

I can't believe you're still functioning full steam ahead, Andrea. My little one just turned 6 months and I'm FINALLY starting to feel like my life is SLOWLY coming back. Congratulations on your beautiful little blessing, though. They really are worth it, aren't they :) Thank you for all your wonderful freebies- but seriously, if you want to take time to enjoy it while they're little, we understand!

Thanks for the freebie. Now go get some sleep.

Thank you for this awesome template!

I think you have Mother's Amnesia - LOL! I know I did - I think God planned it that way, so we would continue to reproduce :)

Good Luck with the new addition and go get some sleep!!!

Thank you for your beautiful template, Andrea! And I love seeing how your CT have used your templates. Your Miss MyKelle kit is one of my all time favorites and it's nice to see it used.

I'm glad you're enjoying your darling little Ian. I've always liked that name. :)

My youngest is ten years old, but I remember the sleepless nights quite clearly. Yes, they are definitely worth it. You are amazing - thank you for sharing! :)

So glad to hear that things are continuing in a positive light for you in spite of the change in life-style with the feedings. Get as much rest as you can because the whole world is waiting for that little one.

Thanks for another cherished template. Love of course those swirls that speaks of the frilly girl items that I did not care for as a child. "Life's Strange Riddles." Leavin lUV! XOXOXO

Give my love and regards to your fantastic team. I really enjoy all the lovely layouts and techniques so beautifully shown within their designs. I definitely did not mean to omit them from my remarks. So please forgive me ladies, I adore all your colorful additions to Andrea's Blog page.

Newborns are so great. I know what you are saying - you completely forget about the lack of sleep when you think about having a baby - you know in your mind that you won't get as much sleep but it doesn't really hit you until you actually have the baby. I'm wishing you all the best in adjusting and as always thank you for yet another amazing template. They are amazing.

Myxi said...

I'm tired just thinking about having a brand new baby to care for...lol. That's why God, in all his wisdom blesses us with them while we are young. Thank you for your time in making new ones for us and sharing them especiall now that your hands are even fuller. :)

Unknown said...

Have to agree with Sally, all the way. You truly are blessed with a gorgeous little one. And I can't see how you are making time to still do templates. Not complaining though. I love them all. Thank you.

My Little Ironies

  • I just had to tell my daughter that there was little probability that she could do eighty chores in two hours and 10 minutes to earn a giant lot of pet shops on Ebay that she wants to earn before the auction closes. That's at two chores per dollar. :)
  • We are helping my father sell an old vehicle and what do we find in the glove box...an unused 12 guage shotgun shell...that's my Dad!!
  • How does a three year old end up at church with no underwear on, especially when you dressed him and you know he had underwear on at one point during the morning?
  • The root of all toilet clogging evil is apparently a ball point pen and it's nearly impossible to dislodge one of those from the inside of a toilet.
  • You know you have to do some serious laundry when you actually consider wearing your 11 year old daughter's Hannah Montana shirt.
  • My 6 year old daughter got a comb stuck in her hair and we had to cut the comb into little bits to get it out of her hair.
  • My kids keep breaking the toilet seats! I guess I need a bulk package of those too!
  • Chocolate chips are not a food group.
  • My toilet seat says "Hailee" on it!
  • If there's work to be done, all of the kids need to use the bathroom or get a drink.
  • All two-year-olds think the baby swing is for them!
  • When you have 6 kids, carpet is your enemy!
  • You know you have a large family when your grocery receipt is 4 feet long.
  • The toilet is clogged and my husband found a plastic easter egg in the pipe.
  • My daughter just asked me if she can put chocolate sprinkles on here melted cheese sandwich (really???)
  • I burned up another hard drive on my PC! Can I buy a bulk package of those too?
  • Well actually, my sand pile is full of socks and silverware!
  • My sand pile is full of socks!
  • The key to my treadmill is missing again...can I just purchase a bulk package of them???
  • I fixed my daughter's glasses with JB Weld!
  • I have a pile of sand on my leather couch.
  • My daughter lost her glasses in the snow on the way home from school in January. Someone found them in March and turned them into the school office! Amazingly enough, the school remembered we lost them in January. Wow!
  • Just when I think he knows better, my 10 year old son plugs the bathroom sink and the emergency drain in the sink basin to soak his grow creature, turns on the water, and forgets about it until we notice water flooding out from under the bathroom door! And yes, he locked the door so no one would bother the grow creature!!
  • It's time for another worn out pair of the hubby's pants to disappear! Aren't kids suppose to be the only ones who are attached to clothing?
  • My 4 year old says she needs "peace and quite"!!!!!
  • My Husband says there's a perfectly good reason for the leatherman being in my dish drainer.
  • I have a leatherman (fancy pocket knife) in my dish drainer. I don't know why.
  • My kids are storing a tumble weed in my garage for the winter!
  • My 10 year old son informed me that people have only discovered about half of the world's caves (thank you BBC and planet earth!)
  • My baby's car seat is full of finely crushed graham crackers (?? Little babies don't eat graham crackers)!
  • My husband's shoes are filled with Mr. Potato Head parts!
  • My two year old thinks the new baby swing is for him! He can even climb in by himself and work all the controls. Boy, does he have a rude awakening coming!!
  • I have a giant mud hole in my back yard.
  • My vacuum is fully of plastic easter grass.
  • My kids are too full to finish their dinner, but they have plenty of room left for cake!
  • I have a giant laundry basket full of socks, and we can't find a single match!
  • Miscellaneous items found while cleaning out my kids' toy box include a flashlight, rocks (no suprise), a sea shell (we don't live by the sea), a drill bit, a stapler, and some tree bark!
  • My daughter's medical bills added up to about $18,000, but we got a free sippy cup and a ball signed by the Utah JAZZ Dancers!
  • I put safety locks on the tops of my outside doors to keep my three year old from escaping and she figured out how to open them with a broom in approximately five minutes.
  • I bought the EXPENSIVE vacuum this time only to find that my 3-year-old took it apart with a screwdriver!
  • I haven't showered for 3 days, but my house is clean!
  • I have 38 winter gloves of various sizes in my coat closet and none of them match.
  • We're out of peanut butter because my husband used the rest to catch a mouse in our garage!
  • Yes, my son won 1st place in the science fair at school, but he didn't turn in half of his assignments this term?
  • No matter how many toys my toddler got for Christmas, I still find him in the middle of my kitchen floor sitting in my crock pot!
