Well I know I’ve been quiet, I’m still here, just sort of making it day to day, so i haven’t been super “bloggy.”
I thought though since February is already over, I should probably recap it so that I don’t fall even further behind in blog land.
Probably the number one important thing that happened in February is that the baby in our family turned 1! I can’t believe it! Does time fly or what!?! Tennyson is a pretty shy little creature, and so we decided to play it low key and just do cupcakes at home with the family, he actually totally loved it and got really excited when we all sang happy birthday to him. It was a sweet little moment. Here are some of my favorite cupcake pics:
Pretty unbelievable that our last little baby has hit the one year mark… it’s a little sad, but its exciting too, Tennyson has been such a sweet baby, and watching him grow has been such a treat this year. I was determined to really enjoy his first year, and I feel like I really did soak it all in. Now it is time for some new landmarks, first steps, learning to talk, time to watch my little baby grow into a little boy, and I’m excited about everything that is to come.
I was also pretty busy designing in February, I’ve been finding a lot of solace in creating new things, and I really appreciate that I get to make money off of a hobby that I really enjoy. Working was actually a huge stress reliever for me in February.
Waiting for the rain is my favorite kit I have made to date, I’m just so so proud of it. I love the way it turned out, and it was such a therapeutic project for me!
Here’s a page I made with it (my little baby boy, can you believe he is one already!):
My ct did some beautiful pages with it too, you can check out my gallery to see more.
I also made a few title packs, originally I made the one “precious” title for a typography challenge we had at sweet shoppe, and then I got a little carried away and made a few packs for sale, and I’m proud to say they were one of my best selling products to date!
and this little inexpensive package of acrylic tags:
I also had the chance to work on a few fun collabs, first I did this “all boy” project with Susan Bartolini and Libby Weifenbach:
Then Lauren and I got together last minute last week for this extra girly Shauren Collaboration:
(you can click on any of the above previews to see these products in the shoppe)
So aside from big birthday’s and lots of working, February was pretty much same old same old. We’re STILL getting the house worked on, I swear that will never end! The laundry keeps piling, the kids keep making messes… life just keeps going on doesn’t it?
I’m proud to say that I’ve totally kept my 365 up to date. I love that I’ve got two months chronicled now, I can’t wait to have a full year’s worth of pictures! You can always go check them out if you want to find out more about our February. Other than that, I guess I’ll just be back when I can sneak in another second!
Till next time!

Great to see an update, Shawna! Happy Birthday to the little man- he sure warmed right up to that cupcake- so cute.
I love seeing your P365 photos, I’ve finally almost caught up with mine after thinking of giving up until Baby E arrives, but decided to just wing a few things and keep going. Love your new products and precious baby page- you’ve been busy!! Happy March!
