Maya Road and Me

happy 4th of july!

wanted to wish everyone a great 4th of july - here is noah with his cheesy smile for you all:

for this july 4th, my family has picked a solider to send a care package to from the any solider site . noah is helping me make some cards that the soliders can use to write home about and tomorrow we are going to spend some time shopping for some of the items on our wish list.

for those that do so much for our country, this is a simple way for us to say "thank you" and it is important for noah to start learning about an attitude of gratitude for the things he has and sharing it with others.

hope you all have a great 4th of july!

i couldn't resist sharing this photo - my son is a little nut when it comes to wall-e and robots. he got a card for his birthday complete with wall-e glasses so he wears them around everywhere!

we have been very busy here getting ready for the show but when i have a couple of minutes, i try to create! 

here is something that i created using some of our new flowers and ribbons - an IPOD case that is stylin' and profilin' (like the flower and ribbon?)



and lastly, check out our newest summer of fun contest - want to see your project on a recipe card for our creative corner?

check out all the details (and the over $500 in prizes ) here!

enjoy!

good stuff

thanks to everyone who bought one of the kits in our w/h sale. we have sold out of the kits already that the w/h has packed. i have gotten a couple of emails if we would consider offering some more kits - so what we have done is started a waiting list. if you want to be added to the list, use the contact us form and let us know!

i went for a walk/run with noah tonight - and right now i am running at the pace of a 3 year old. luckily the weather is nicer today (only high of 94 - LOL) but at sunset, the temps become more manageable!

hope you all are having a great monday!

here is my layout from my photo as it hangs on my fridge... i sometimes will out layouts on the fridge to look at until a new one comes along and then i stick them in the "pile" which i still have to organize.

i find myself by the fridge a lot not eating but trying to stay cool from the texas heat. all the people that told me that i would go stir crazy in this heat during my pregnancy were right.  i never thought i would be feeling so hot but the 100+ F is doing me in. i stay out of the sun when possible - even going to the car makes me short of breath.

hope you all are having a cooler summer than i am!

self portrait

things have been going by in a blur these last couple of months. i found that i don't have a lot of photos of myself in my pregnant state so i took a couple the other day:

i am not super huge...yet. still have packed on the 20 lbs so but everything with baby girl is going well except for the occasional i have sat-down-and-i-can't-get-up syndrome. and the need-a-nap syndrome.

i have a layout planned for this photo. will share this weekend!
