I'm BACK!!!

Hey everyone,

REMEMBER ME? LOL...I haven't blogged on the TSG Blog since that second week that it existed back in September! So it's been awhile and I'm glad for the chance again to be with you. Actually, that blogging in September was truly amazing for me as it got me to get my own neglected blog going again and I have to say that it has been a great experience for me! I love my blog now and it has been so nice to have another place to truly advertise myself and let everybody know what is going on in my little design world!

If you care to visit my blog: http://designsbydede.blogspot.com!


So anyways, I'm glad to be back and I hope you enjoy my week of blogging here at TSG!


It's kind of interesting, because yesterday Lynn wrote about the birth of her son and how it was his birthday yesterday...well, guess what? My son's birthday was yesterday as well! :)

My son, JJ, turned 6. I can't believe he's growing up so fast. I think he really had a great day. He gets overwhelmed pretty easily (he's developmentally delayed and we think he has some form of autism...no clear diagnosis yet), but he did pretty well yesterday. We actually kept it really casual and just had a family party. My hubby, me, JJ, and his sister Beth.



He opened his presents which was a couple of Transformers and a Mac and Lightning McQueen Lego Set (from the Disney-Pixar Movie Cars) and he was so excited. He loves that movie and his favorite character is Mac. And I gotta tell you, there aren't that many Mac toys around. He's wanted one for so long and I haven't been able to find one for him, but as soon as I saw that Lego set, I knew he would love it...and he did. The Legos were large and not many pieces so that was good. JJ and his Dad put it together and he played all day with it:







While they put the lego set together and played...I decorated the cake. I have to say I'm not much of a cake decorator...so I always go with something simple. JJ loves a lot of things...Disney Movies (especially the Pixar ones), Blue's Clues, and most recently he's really been getting into action heros, mostly Superman and Batman. And since JJ's middle name is Clark...I thought what better cake than to do a superman one...you know, like Clark Kent. :) So I simply drew a Superman logo on a 9x13 cake! Simple huh? LOL But he loved it so that's all that matters! :)



Anyways, so I think it was a good day for him and I really think this was the first year he really understood what a BIRTHDAY was...so that made it a lot of fun.


Anyways, so I thought I'd share our day with you for today's post. It's actually not even Sunday yet here, but this is most likely the time of day I will post all week...just because it's easier for me once my kiddos are in bed! But I hope you will all participate with me this week! I would love it if you would leave me suggestions, questions, ideas, etc in the comments! I would love to hear from you and it's always easier to blog when you are asked questions! :) So please leave me some love!


Last time I blogged here, I gave away a WHOLE KIT! But I don't have that much energy this time. LOL So you are just getting quickpages from me this week....and all the quickpages were created by my amazing CT Team Members! And I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to them for coming through for me and creating these amazing layouts!

So I think I'll leave you for tonight. Sunday is going to be a BUSY BUSY day for me tomorrow! I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and we will talk to you on Monday!

Here's your quickpage for today....thanks to catlady for creating it!
