I <3 my zutter

Ok, so I made another little zutter book. This one I die cut chipboard at Archiver's, and I also die cut the paper so that I wouldn't have to trim around it. I used the new My Minds Eye Wild Asparagus paper. The die is the state of Minnesota and the pictures are from a weekend Ryan took the boys up to his parents cabin. I also filled in some blank spaces with stickers and rub-ons.

Crafty Time

This month at Archiver's in Eden Prairie we are demo-ing the zutter bind-it-all. Being someone that actually has to tell people about this product i decided to dive in and play with it. I thought it was kinda hokey at first, i mean seriously it punches little square holes and then squeezes a wire into it. But after I went to the Mall of America and saw all of their zutter stuff I was pretty inspired. So last saturday at my birthday mania I made a Book for my sister. It is chipboard postcards covered in k&Co berry sweet paper. Since the postcards started out with rounded corners I decided to carry that theme through the book with the photos also. The pictures are from mine and my younger sisters childhood. They are of me, her and our mom who passed away in 1997. There is also a title on the front made of basic grey adhesive chipboard letters inked pink. They are the Wilma font I think. Now on to the pictures...

32 weeks

I am going to see my midwife every 2 weeks now and I am up 2 lbs from my last visit for a total of 146. I am pretty happy about that. I am measuring at 30cms and have been consistently 2 cms behind my weeks so far. The little princesses heartbeat was 160 and its a lot easier to hear nowadays.
Monday was my birthday and I got a Lakewinds membership and a compost bin from Ryan and Leif. Saturday is my birthday party at Archiver's in Eden Prairie. from 1-4. I am feeling a little bit blah about it and right now I feel like probably no one will come. I sent out some invitations and invited people from work, but I feel pretty lonely right now so I'm not expecting much to come out of it. I plan to work on the print edition of this journal.
I am starting to want to get things ready for the baby, but Ryan is not so motivated. I have hauled a lot of stuff out of the craft/baby room, but it was hard going up and down the stairs so many times, and there are a few big things in there that i cant move.
In 2 weeks we have our home visit. Jeanne and Pam will come out at 1 and make sure they can find our house ok. They will also get the home tour so they know where to find everything they might need. We will then have to order our birth kit and a list of all the other "stuff" we might need(paper towels and stuff). I am going to work on my menus.
