I'm gonna share some of our Easter pictures with you! And I'm not going to break my promise...you should be SO very proud of me! :)  Sorry its a few days late tho...

Our little Easter bunny and believe it or not, he really didn't mind these ears on him! lol

And here's Tayton with his best friend and cousin, Camerin....sooo cute! :)

And finally, the Easter Basket and gift my hubby made for me...isn't he just so talented?! lol I LOVEEE it! I'm not sure if he can beat this, but he better try hard next week, as it is Mother's Day...and my first one at that! hahaha

Here is the card that Tim made, too. Notice the rabbit's hands and feet?? -- they're Tayton's!!! So cute and veryyyy creative! :) I throughly enjoy receiving these type of gifts each holiday...they're all definitely something worth looking froward too!

Hope you enjoyed it all!

Tayton Timothy has FINALLY arrived!

Hey Blogging Buddies!
Sooo sorry to leave you all hanging, as I'm just now getting a bit of 'me' time in. So the day finally came and my little bundle of joy has arrived! :) :) My water broke at 6am on Monday the 22nd and after 38 hours of rough labor with 1 hour pushing, Tayton Timothy Sajkowicz arrived via emergency c-section on Nov. 23rd! He weighed 6lbs 5oz and was 19.5 inches long...just a lil peanut! :) We both finally got to go home from the hospital last Friday. We are both doing very well and we're all adjusting just fine to this new family of ours. I can't believe my lil bugga-boo is already 10 days old! I attached a few pictures of my handsome lil guy for you to enjoy! :)

Hope you're all doing well and each of you had a great Thanksgiving!

Our First Anniversary!

Sorry friends, no crafty post today.

One year ago today (Sept. 12), I married the love of my life, my best friend, my soulmate. It's mine and Tim's Wedding Anniversary! I just wanted to gush out some love and emotions to him, even though he barely EVER reads my blog! But Tim, you have given me the best year of my life so far and the greatest gift yet to come! Thank you for all the love, laughter, friendship, honesty, and yes, even the tears. It's the best thing a wife could ask for! :) I love you so much today and tomorrow will be even more! You mean the world to me and I am so thankful I found someone like you to share my life with! xoxoxoxo

Sooo here's a few of my fave pictures I'd like to share from our special day...Enjoy!

The wonderful hottie hubs and I are off to dinner this evening to celebrate...can't wait! :) And the Dallas Cowboys are playing tonight, too (definitely NOT his favorite team lol)-- wooohoo! :)

Have a great Sunday! 

First Craft Fair Update!

So remember this post when I mentioned the Craft Fair I was busy getting crafty for?! Well it came and went this past Sunday, Sept. 5th...and I must say it went fairly well! :) All of my Halloween goodies SOLD! And my altered Compostion Notebooks and jumbo paperclip bookmarks were also popular. Here are just a few pictures from it. Lighting isn't the greatest, but I wanted to make sure I snapped a few of them before I sold anything! lol

I have decided to partipate in another Craft Fair at my church on Saturday, October 2nd, so now I am super busy again getting things ready for that one! Making all those Halloween things that were sold, as well as some new Christmas things! I promise to share. The rest of my Halloween things will be featured in my upcoming 12 Weeks of Halloween posts.

Onto to other things...Happy Weekend to All! :) This is the first weekend in a few that I don't have to work both of my jobs! Yayyy! (Last Saturday was my last day at the restaurant...waiting on tables and waddling around at 7 months pregnant isn't easy! lol) So do we have anything fun planned? The hottie hubs and I are celebrating our First Wedding Anniversary on Sunday (Sept. 12th) so we'll be spending as much time as we can together this weekend. He has something planned for us, but won't tell me where, when or what. I can't wait to find out. but I'll let you all know when I do! teehehehe

I'm off to put my (swollen) prego feet up to relax! lol Have a great Friday night!

That 'nesting' stage...

Not sure if you've all noticed, but I've been on a blogging role here at Picture Perfect Creations! I think I've blogged everyday for the past ten days...now thats a record ladies and gentleman! lol And I plan on continuting with the streak, too! It must be that 'nesting' stage everyone talks about...

Speaking of the 'nesting' stage, just wanted fill all of you in on some really exciting news!!! As some of you may already know and you can obviously tell my the countdown ticker above, my husband and I are expecting our first child...a handsome little boy! And we couldn't be more excited about it! Our due date is actually on Thanksgiving (November 25th). Baby Sajk (short for our last name, Sajkowicz) is healthy and doing great, as well as myself, if anyone cares to know. :) Right now I'm 25 weeks along. We do have a name picked out but we're not sure if we want to share it with the world quite yet, even though we've already told a lucky few of you.

Here's a few pictures of the hottie hubs and I. They were taken about 5 weeks ago, so now I'm even bigger, but I just don't have any updated pics to post yet.  Hope you like them!

I also wanted to chat about the future here at PPC and PPC-CC...so as long as I am alive and healthy, and so isn't my new little family, I will continue to blog my crafty creations, as well as post our weekly color combos, DT submissions, prizes, and more. Once Baby Sajk comes along, I plan on working in the office doing my graphic/technical design for 2 days and then from home another 2 days or so a week. I am also considering going back to the restaurant a day or 2, as well. (Not really sure about that yet) I'm just hoping all of this will allow me the time to continue to craft and share it all with you, raise a child/family with 2 st. bernards (lol), work on my Stampin' Up! and photography businesses (I will chat more about the photography business soon), help with the hubby's landscaping business, AND have a life! I guess we shall see, huh? How do all of you moms do it out there?? Advice is always welcome! :)  I'm very excited, but also so anxious and nervous about it all! I've always been a busy, busy person...just hoping I can keep up with it all now. Oh and did I mention that I've been crafting away with all the invites, favors, etc for my baby shower? In addtion, we have our 11th Annual Erin B. Lugauskas Memoral Scholarship Benefit Dance coming up on November 6th. Oh and you just can't forget about the holidays...looks like the rest of 2010 will be flying by for me!!!

Phewww...I'm out of breath! I think that's about it for now...sorry for the long post, but thanks if you've gotten this far! We're waiting on my mother-in-law to come by with some pizza tonight...yummm! Have a great evening!

  

A Wedding Card

Hiya Friends!
The card I am sharing today was made for a great couple, Julie & Mike...who are actually getting married today! I CASE'd it from Andrea Walford, but of course changed some things around to make it my own. I used the new Elegant Soiree DSP from the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog. This card would also be great for any Anniversary...and speaking of Anniversaries, mine and the hubs are coming up on our one year soon (Sept. 12th!). Any ideas on what to get him?? Hmmm...

Anyway, hope you like it!

Card Size: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated.
Stamps: Occasional Quotes
Paper: Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Elegant Soiree DSP

So it's Friday already...anyone have any fun plans? The hubs and I are taking an 8-hour birthing/maternity class tomorrow...should be an interesting one! But none-the-less, very informative. We're kinda excited about it! lol We'll also be attending a birthday party for my cousins's little one Brenna, who is turning two. And as for Sunday, I have to work at the restaurant and I'm sure Tim will be doing something pertaining to our landscaping business and work. Hope everyone has a great Friday and an even better weekend! Chat soon!

This card is also part of my No Paper/Product Buying Challenge. :)
