After going through a bout of clinical anxiety and depression last fall I began to re-evaluate how I deal with life and unexpected death. After recovering from a brief mental episode I felt I was ready to move forward and begin trying to have baby #2. We quickly conceived in our first month of trying in July 2011 and after two perfect sonograms I was convinced that the baby was meant to be. Sadly, I went to my 11 week sonogram with my mom and our baby had died. I was scheduled for another D&C in September and went through a horrific time. Not only had I lost my baby, but my grandfather, Daddy Hayes, passed away just two weeks prior. In an effort to uplift everyone's mood at his funeral I shared my 8.5 week ultrasound picture. The news of the baby's impending arrival was also mentioned in his obituary. It was, in my mind, supposed to be a reconciliation. The death of my grandfather renewed with the life of my baby. Life is not that simple I suppose and just two weeks after his death I was given a second blow that the baby was gone. <br />
<br />
Fortunately, after the losses I managed pretty well. I managed to keep my head focused on what's important... my family...my 2 year old love E. I became engrossed in cooking and baking and I managed to pick up my camera again from time to time, something I love doing dearly. My husband and I decided to try again for baby #2 again and to our surprise we became pregnant after our first try. I found out this past Monday just before Thanksgiving. I am due in Aug 2012. We decided to announce our news to my parents and sister on Thanksgiving day. We are glad for them to know and couldn't live without their support should this baby not make it. I'm 4 weeks pregnant and for the first time feel like I just have to let life do what it will. In the past I have obsessed over twinges or lack of symptoms, but so far not this time. I've been through it before, I survived and I will hopefully not have to go back to that dark place again. I will end this post with a picture of E and Daddy Hayes that I took about a year ago. We miss you Daddy Hayes, take care of my babies. Love you all forever...<br />

One party down and one to go. Even though his official birthday is on November 12th we had his 1st birthday on November 6th. He's having another one next weekend with extended family. What a lucky kid! The party was great, the moonwalk/bounce house was a necessity for the kids eating all that sugar. I'm so glad we decided to rent one. I hope that E-pie will enjoy looking back at these pictures one day. I only wish he could remember it all. Guess that's what pictures are for...right?<br />

It was just two years ago on Halloween day that we found out that our June baby was not meant to be. The bleakest moment was searching the ultrasound screen for a flickering heartbeat and finding only darkness in its place. All hopes of what could be, what should be were gone. I can vaguely remember calling my mom and gasping through tears to tell her the grand baby-to-be was lost. <br />
<br />
October 31, 2008 was the hardest day of my life. My husband and I had plans to go to my sister's for a Halloween party later that evening and too afraid to be home with our fears and pain we decided to dress up and go. I don't remember most of the party. Just sadness. I do remember driving home from my sister's and the song "Wild Horses" came on. I completely lost it. The tears that I had been holding back for hours in front of friends and family had been held back too long. They flowed and I didn't think they would ever stop. I can distinctly remember falling to the floor in pain when we got home. My husband terrified by my pain and stricken with his own sat with me and held me until I could calm myself. <br />
<br />
The days following are hazy at best, but eventually I started to build strength from our grief and held on to the encouraging thoughts that some day we would have a baby to love.<br />
<br />
Now two years later I have my baby to love and what a <em>difference</em> two years can make. I love you E-Pie. I love you soooo much! <span style="font-size: large;">Happy <em>Halloweenie</em> my sweet boy!</span><br />

I called up my sister and a friend and invited them over for a cake pop making/wine drinking night. I must say that they turned out much better than I expected.Armed with a little confidence I think I'm going to make them for E's birthday in two weeks.<br />

I found a file on Google images and brought into MTC and pixel traced it. Then I broke into two layers and used the bottom layer as my shadow layer. To give it some dimension I used small foam squares to make it stand out.

I created the invites in Photoshop Elements (PSE) using Lettering Delights graphics I purchased on the Dollar Deal days. I had them printed by Vistaprint.com and I am very pleased with the way they turned out. The color in person is exactly like it looks on the computer screen. I was a little concerned with that much color printing poorly, but alas I received them in the mail on Monday and they look perfect (to me). What do you think?KMShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05199924166839742063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637363785960852397.post-22612777508797037062010-10-13T09:37:00.000-05:002010-10-13T09:37:54.187-05:00Follow Me...My hope for this blog is to share DIY ideas and other crafts that others would like to learn how to make. Anything from party planning to baking, I like to try it all. <br />

I'm also an amateur photographer with a passion to learn and improve my work. I would love for anyone else with these same interests to follow me on this journey!KMShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05199924166839742063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637363785960852397.post-52415437889579631542010-10-13T09:31:00.001-05:002010-10-16T11:03:42.737-05:00Evan's Vintage Toy Party with Sock monkeys and Little red wagons<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bhPMoHt_lM0/TLXBh8ZH3BI/AAAAAAAAAZE/4oXS-FVQgXo/s1600/5078307432_16bb056e09_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="214" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bhPMoHt_lM0/TLXBh8ZH3BI/AAAAAAAAAZE/4oXS-FVQgXo/s320/5078307432_16bb056e09_z.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

It all started when I purchased my Cricut Expression and Make the Cut (MTC) software a few weeks ago. Since then I have been preparing for E's 1st birthday. The theme is vintage toys (Sock Monkeys and red wagons) with a mod look. I also made his invites which I will post at a later time.KMShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05199924166839742063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637363785960852397.post-65161133015906621602010-10-12T12:51:00.001-05:002010-10-12T13:04:04.574-05:00Away we go...<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Who Am I?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm a silly Texas girl with an attitude and a passion to create.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">What I love...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">my husband, my son, my woof-woofs "read Oliver and Riley", art and of course photography. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What I do...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I started shooting manual photography after my son, Evan, was born and many hundreds of dollars later I feel like I have come a long way from the auto setting on my Nikon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span id="goog_1671398549"></span><span id="goog_1671398550"></span><span id="goog_1671398552"></span><span id="goog_1671398553"></span><span id="goog_1671398555"></span><span id="goog_1671398556"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now with Little E's birthday right around the corner I have found myself absorbed or some may say obsessed with creating birthday decorations. To date I have made a partial birthday banner, 1 birthday hat with handmade pom pom, 30 cupcake toppers, 50 custom birthday invitations, and decorated one Wilton 4-tiered cupcake stand. Left on my "to do" list are 15 more cupcake toppers, complete the birthday banner, and make a high chair banner. Did I mention making the cupcakes and possibly E's smash cake too? I'm a busy lady, but I have a passion to make things and make 'em pretty.</span><br />
