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!

My 2010 = New Goals, Fresh Beginings & Lots of Changes

Wow...I can't believe 2010 is here already and I welcome it with my first post of the decade! :) I hope you all had a great New Year's...I sure did, but it was definitely uneventful. I worked at the restaurant till 10:30ish and came home to a hubby fast asleep and still got no 'New Years Kiss'...lol Oh well...maybe next year! Ha!

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot in these past couple of weeks about the changes, new beginnings and goals or maybe resolutions of some sort, that I want to set and accomplish this year...not only creatively but through my personal/family life, as well. So this is what I came up with:

Creatively:
  1. Re-organize My Creative Studio: I feel like I can't enjoy my creative time in a place that is far beyond trashed! lol I've been in the process of throwing out scraps, reorganzing all my stamps, and putting things back in order. Hopefully soon enough I'll have my space back!
  2. More Blogging, Candy & Giveaways: I know I started doing well with my blogging the last couple months, but I do want to blog more this coming year! I also plan on having more candy, giveaways, product spotlights, tutorials, and of course some good changes here at PPC.
  3. Expand my Stampin' Up Business: I really do LOVE being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would love to have more customers to share my ideas and love of stamping with! I will have more of my own monthly specials, classes and clubs this year, as well! Please spread the word!
  4. Photograph my Frst Wedding: I have scheduled my first wedding that I will be photographing!! It is my sister's best friend, Liz and Kyle's wedding on July 17th...I couldn't be more excited...and nervous at the same time! :)
  5. Scrapbook More: I plan on scrapping my Wedding, Honeymoon, & Bachlorette pictures this year!...and I can't wait to start!
  6. Participate in my first Craft Fair: It has always been a goal of mine, and this year I hope to take it on full force. My mom and aunt used to take part in the town Craft Fair, so I will be looking to them for help with this. :) :)
  7. 2010 Goal Scrapbook: I will also be scrapping each of my 2010 Goals that I accomplish this year. :)
  8. Add to my PPC Resume: In otherwords, I would LOVE to be on a Design Team to a challenge blog or maybe even a company! (hint hint ;) ) I am working hard on adding to my design resume...if you'd like to feature me! ;)  

 Personally/Family:
  1. Go to the gym and eat healthy.
  2. Pay off my credit card debt.
  3. Raise $200 for Relay for Life and Erin's Everlasting Butterflies Team...I will NEED you, my follwers help with this, too!
  4. Start building our dream house. :)
  5. Breed Meisha, my dog.
  6. Become more organized!
  7. Reconnect with family and friends, near and far! :)
As you can tell, there is so much I want to doooo...I better get going on it! I hope to put together a 2010 Goal Scrapbook soon too, that way I can keep track of all my accomplishments! (Like #7 in my Creatively list! hehehe)

So anyway, its Friday and I am super happy about that! I have the evening off from work so I plan on blogging and getting crafty! Have a great day!!!

Happy Friday All!

Wowzers!!!

I can't believe that it's been over a week since I last blogged! I hope all of you out there had a great Christmas with friends and family, as I sure did...but I am glad that its over. :) My wonderful hubby got me some awesome gifts and it was definitely great to finally spend Christmas as a married couple! Here's a pic of us on Christmas Eve in front of our 'first' Christmas tree! Heee!



Today also marks 10 years of the passing of my wonderful, loving older sister, Erin, to cancer. I miss her more and more each day...she's definitely my angel! :( She is the reason we Relay and put our time in for the Erin. B. Lugauskas Memorial Scholarship and Halloween Dance! Here she on the right with her best friend, Sherin...



I do have a few pictures to post  some time later today of the Christmas cards I made for friends and family this year...stay tuned!

12 Weeks of Christmas -- Week 3

Hiii All--
I know I'm a BIT late, but here is the 12 Weeks of Christmas--Week 3 post! It's a very cute Christmas Ornament. I used Stampin' Up! Word Flurries Rub-ons on a plain glass ornament that I bougth at Michaels. I then put some red and green crinkle paper in and added a white ribbon! It's super quick and easy gift, too! It does take a bit of practice with using a rub-on on a circular object, though.

Just an update, too. Our 10th Annual Erin B. Lugauskas Halloween Benefit Scholarship Dance was another success! We raised over $1700 that will be going to scholarships for Plainfield High seniors! Thanks to all that donated and came! I'm leaving you with a fun pic of the family and I. Mom was a joker; Dad claimed to be a cone-head chef (HAHA); Tim was Lt. Dangle from Reno 911; of course, I was a little Devil; Lil' Sis Sam was a butterfly; and her boyfriend, Mike, was a lumberjack!

Enjoy and chat later!

I'm such a slacker...

WOW...i've really been slacking! I haven't posted (or blogged, should I say) in over a month! I'm sooo sorry! Well, let's see where I last left off...
  • Tim and I are offically having our wedding ceremony and reception at Tyrone Farm in Pomfret, CT on Saturday, September 12th, 2009...so my very own handmade Save The Dates may be coming very soon to a mailbox near you! :)

  • I went dress shopping with my mom the other day to Classic Images. I found one that I absolutely L-O-V-E! Maybe I'll post pics of it later...I haven't put a deposit on it yet, but I'm hoping to within the next week or so!
  • The 9th Annual Erin B. Lugauskas Memorial Scholarship Halloween Benefit Dance is creeping up on us...Saturday, Nov. 1st. Mom, Sam, and I have been workin our butts off trying to get the raffle baskets done, tickets sold, running around, and somehow finding our own Halloween costumes in the mix. Email me for more information about this fun event!

  • I am absolutely loving the fall season and I am sooo excited that Tim and I chose this season to have our wedding! Here's a little pic of my celebration...Happy Fall! :)

Meisha - 12 weeks old

  • And a few cards that I've worked on:

I sent this one to my Grandma in Florida!

and this Birthday card was for Tim's mom...


I think that's all for the update right now. Tonight Tim's taking Mason & Meisha to their vet appointment...while I'm going to a StampinUp! demonstrators house to get the insight and low-down on how to become one, as well as hosting my own party! I can't wait! :) Talk to you all very soon!

Have a good evening!!! xoxoxo
