About Me

My photo
Houston, Texas, United States
I'm a 23 year old mom and Marine wife, in my case it means I am a Marine as well as the wife of a Marine. Scrubby is getting out November of this year and I got out October of 08. I have a gorgeous daughter named Aurora Abigail who turned 1 this year and a handsome son named David Anthony III who was born late August of this year. The love of my life is my husband, David! We recently relocated from my home state of California to my husbands home town of Houston, TX! I just started scrapbooking earlier this year and I have to admit that I am addicted! Especially to mini-albums and everything grungy and vintage!

My messy scrappy living room ...






Hi everyone!!!


So, as I type, i have my living room converted as my scrapping space. As i've mentioned before, both my husband and I are Marines. I'm no longer active duty but he is, and we live on base. Being in southern Cali, the condo the military provides on-base is MUCH nicer and bigger than anything we could ever afford out in town ... BUT they do base them on your family size and since we have a family of 3, we only get a two bedroom condo. So my dinning room table has been converted into my scrapping area but even that is too small. I'm looking forward to our move to Houston because even though i won't have my own scrap room, we will have a bigger living area and i'll be able to have enough space to set up a nice size desk and some drawers to organize all my stuff!!! I've only been scrapping for about 3 months and since i know we're moving soon, i've been keeping my purchases to a minimum ... but once we get out there ... there will be no stopping me! lol!!! Scrubby is terrified!!! Lol!!! oh, yeah, here's a pic of my biggo belly. My due date is August 30th and he will be named David Anthony Botello III.

My first GGS mini album

Hi everyone!!!

This is my very first video. I'm not quite sure if i'm loading it right but hopefully it works out ok. lol!!! Anyways, it's me sharing my first mini album that I made with the GGS mini album kit I received for the month of July. BTW, the Girls Gone Scrappy Kit Club is a really awesome mini album kit and trading club hosted by Marion at apieceofcraft.com. Anyways, I kind of got stuck with it because this kit was seriously so cute that once I covered the chipboard with the paper I didn't want to add anything else to it and loose being able to see the gorgeous paper! So please leave me comments and maybe you can give me some advice on how i can add to it but still be able to show off the paper!!!





Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

♥ smooches!!!
