Happy 200th Post!!

Hip Hip Hooray!! Today marks the 200th post of my blogging days!
I have to tell you, my BBFF's (Blog BFF's) Thank you Thank you for stopping by, leaving your inspiring comments, sharing a few laughs, a few creative moments, a few "what was I thinking?!" moments, putting up with my posts that are usually written holding one and sometimes 2 kiddos...THIS POST IS FOR YOU!


Time to reminisce with some of our favorite blog posts! click on the titles below
Scrapbooker's Fantasy

Watch Me Grow
Birthday Post
Heaven Sent
a mini for mini me
Soy Photos & Memories
pink pacifier?
Cozumel Karaoke

all you need is love album

In honor of this 200th post, it's time for some humungo Giveaways!! Christmas has come early my friends!
First, a Brand New Big Shot from our friends over at Sizzix!!



A Brand New CuttleBug from our friends at Provo Craft!

with their awesome embossing folders!

A Crop-A-Dile Big Bite!!

I just purchased my Crop-A-Dile and I can't believe it took me so long! Until a week ago, I was still raiding Collin's toolbox for a hammer to pound my eyelets! This thing can set an eyelet as easy as punching a hole in paper. No joke, this summer I took Ali's CKU class and the girls at my table were laughing because I had never used one of these before and had no clue how it worked! It's awesome!

Last but not least... $15 iTunes Gift Card! I know a lot of you like the music on my blog (and if you don't, thanks for putting up with it!) now you don't have to be stuck at your computer to hear them!


Just leave a comment with your fave blog memory, post, song or anything you wish & I'll announce the winners later this week!!

hmmm its a toss up between seeing you win SOY or the lost pink pacifier - cause I can relate so well, LOL

Tracy said...

I'd also have to say Scrapbooker's Fantasy! You and your husband are a hoot! And your bright photos are so pretty!

Heather said...

Well, since I am relatively new to your blog, I started reading it when I saw you on Studio 5, there are many things I love about it. Of course the music and your precious little children. But since I am an avid scrapbooker I think my favorites are when you show the cute little ideas for pictures and scrapbooks. I love the mini's that you do and your color coordination is awesome! Thanks for such a cheerful blog I love reading it and congrats on 200!

Elizabeth said...

I just adore your blog. I loved when you listed how great your hubby was on his birthday!! I just thought that was so sweet and fun. Happy 200th Blog Post!!

Elise said...

My favorite was the story of Quincy's birth. So precious and the pictures were just fabulous! The lives of our kids are definitely the most fun to scrapbook!

Anonymous said...

Wow~ great giveaways. Love all your post esp. about the arrival of your newest pink bundle of joy. Congrats!

Susan Slinkard said...

OK. I agree with several of the other comments here...Scrapbooker's Fantasy was the best. I was laughing so hard at this post. I think most husbands of scrapbookers could also relate to this post!

Congratulations!

I love the kiddos pics! And, how you scrapbook to tell their story! I have a daughter around the same age as Quincy and my son is a bit older than Avery.

Love it! It's hard to just pick on thing that's my fav-I love it all!

Just love your ideas and reading in CK mag! Adorable family! How do you do it all!

Kirsten said...

I also loved the Scrapbooker Fantasy post. I laughed so hard because not many husbands understand the "true essence" of scrapbooking...even down to an eyelet. Your husband was such a good sport to pose for those pictures. So fun!!

What I love most about your blog is how colorful and bright it is!! It is snowing her in Ohio and grey and dreary and here I am bopping along to your fun tunes and having a good time! Thanks so much!!

Kathy said...

Congratulations Liz!!! Wow 200 posts, that's amazing. I enjoy reading your blog so much. My fave blog entry of yours would have to be the first one I read. It was the entry about your big SOY win. That's when I first "tuned" in. You provide a lot of inspiration for scrapbookers, moms, daughters and wives out there. Keep us smiling and laughing and we'll be coming back for more. Thank you for sharing your memories with us and happy future scrapping!!!

P.S. I love my Crop-o-dile II Big Bite. I use it every chance I get.

Shara said...

I love all of the fabulous ideas you have posted. You are an amazing designer and are giving me constant ideas.

Scrapbookers Fantasy!! Couldn't stop laughing! Thanks for sharing your sweet family and your thoughts and talent with us.

GLOANN said...

It is difficult to settle on just one favorite memory of your blog, but I know that I loved the sentiments and love you expressed in "Heaven Sent." One of the things that was special was the evidence of love I read between you and your mother-in-law with her beautiful little story of Quincy Rose being in heaven until the moment of birth. Congrats on your 100th post. Always look forward to your blog and your crafty work including you LOs.

Valerie said...

Love the birthday posts you and husband blogged for each other. So sweet!

Flora said...

Congrats on #200. I have enjoyed reading every single one of your posts, but, if I had to choose just one, I'd say the one that made me jump up and down was the one about "Porn for Women". I had to have that book. It's hilarious! ~Flora

Kristin Reinhard said...

My fav blog would for sure have to be the Scrapbooker's Fantasy post - had to show my husband that one ;). Your blog is fab and congrats on making the 200 mark!! May long it continue!

Wendy said...

I read and enjoy your blog every day. I think waiting for the new baby announcement is one of my favorite posts. So exciting! Congrats and thanks for the great giveaways!

Jill H said...

the scrapbooker's fantasy post made me laugh :) your husband is such a good sport!

Kay said...

I have so many favs! It's too hard to choose just one so I narrowed it down to five.

1) Where's your nose? It's so nice that daddies can teach the finer things in life. ;)

2) 11 years later. I love hearing about other peoples true love stories.

3) My hubby uncensored. Just about died laughing!

4) Happy birthday Liz. That was so sweet and funny. I showed it to my DH and he said "It's guys like him that make it hard for the rest of us." LOL Then he asked if ya'll lived near by so he could get lessons. Since reading that he does tend to do a bit more cherishing. Quite lovely!

5) Cozumel Karaoke. That made me laugh so hard I started snorting!

Congrats on 200!! Can't wait to see where the road takes ya!!

LisaNRoxy said...

Loved Colin's birthday post - what a sweetie!!
Congrats and thanks for all the inspiration!! You are awesome.

I would have to say one of my favorite things you have posted was a mini album that you made with the fabric pages... it was so beautiful and so simple!!!

That is one of the things from your blog that is on my to do list when I get a sewing machine :)

Brandy said...

This might sound cheezy - but I really do love ALL your posts! I love all your creativeness mixed with everyday life. I especially love that your husband hacked into your account and posted a happy birthday post! how sweet!

Congrats on 200 posts! Keep it coming!

The scrapbookers fantasy photo is hilarious! Love all your photos of the girls and just life in general.

My favorite post was of you on Studio 5. It was because of your appearance on Studio 5 that I found your blog and have been enjoying it ever since. You inspire me to look at things differently. Thanks for such a fun blog and all the good ideas and products you share with us all.

Tara said...

Love your blog, came upon it "accidently" - now I am totally addicted! Look forward everyday - it helps that I am currently on maternity leave. That is the only reason I buy Creating Keepsakes - I look forward to your column every time! My favorite blog is the one you did recently - a very pink post. I have 2 girls Ella 2 and a half years old and Olivia 8 months - they are my pride and joy. I use to just scrapbook, but now I like to make mini albums for friends and family as gifts. Love how you made the ruffle. I have already called my Stampin' Up demonstrator to order the the products! Congratulations and keep up the creativity!

I LOVE your blog and look forward to each post. However, the one that kept me giggling for quite awhile was Collin telling you that Edward could kiss his butt!

Awesome giveaway... thanks!

I love all your craft blogs, but esp enjoyed the Mini for mini me blog. I had just gotten my bind it all and loved the idea!

clippergirl said...

Wow, blown away by your generous give aways! Love your blog. Faves consists of your awesome photos, the one of Collin on his knees makes me LOL...and two songs I got from your list...Don't let me fall by Lenka and...Sweeter than this by K. Herzig...even my hubby loves listening to them.

Maisy said...

It's kind of funny but I came across your blog lastnight. The blog world is my new addiction. I keep telling my husband it is better than a Nordstrom's addiction. I can't remember a specific one except when you and Colin had your game faces on for the triathalon. You two are a really cute couple.
Congrats to you on 200....hope to be reading 200 more. You are now on my blogs to check list.
Thanks for all the inspirations!!

Becky said...

A favorite of mine (or I should say ours) was when New Soul was on your playlist. My kids loved it when it was on the Apple commercial and as soon as they heard it on here, we had to check for new posts...often!:) My daughter loves that song so much she has spent hours by the piano with the iPod on trying to figure out how to play it. Thank you! :) Here's to 200 more!

Audrey said...

I have to say my most favorite memory is my best friend (who is a non scrapbooker) calling me hysterically, telling me that I needed to look at your blog. Dumbfounded (I didn't even know she followed your blog) I got on and saw why she was so excited: she had read that I won one of your contests and was thrilled! She was too funny... so excited for me. Totally made my week.

Thanks for having such a cool blog and doing tons of stuff to keep the flame for scraping burning in my heart! Congrats!

Keri Piercy said...

Congrats on your 200th post! I love every post you've done, so it's so hard to narrow it down!You're really making us work hard for a chance at one of these AWESOME goodies, aren't ya?! :o)

I'd have to say the Scrapbooker's Fantasy for laughs . . . and the "A mini for mini-me" post from July (Quincey's mini fabric album) for inspiration. Thanks for everything!

Congratulations on your 200th post. What an accomplishment!

I really liked the headband-flower tutorial (using the knee-high nylons). I just thought that and the scrapbook-supplies-turned-hair-accessories that you made for Quincey before she was born were just so creative and fun. I've since made both for friends were are expecting baby girls. Too cute!

Sherry said...

Hands down, my favorite posting has been "A Scrapbooker's Fantasy". It was seriously a laugh out loud posting that I went back to for several days...and continued to laugh out loud! :)

My favorite post was the birth of Quincey (Daddy's Version). My daughters and I were checking the blog everyday waiting for the news and the three of us just oohed and awwed over little Quincey! Thanks for letting us into your lives as well as all the help you give on scrapbooking!

The thing I always remember and will always associate to your blog is the song "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. The first time I heard was on your blog and I had to go and download it IMMEDIATELY, so thanks for that :o)
Oh and I would do just about ANYTHING for that Cuttlebug, thanks!

Angie said...

I love, love, looooove your blog!!! Thanks for letting us peek into your adorable life!

Alicia said...

I've never won any of these contests, but I can't NOT pass on this one either :) I loved your post "Heaven Sent"--June 30, 2008 We were having a hard time trying to get pregnant again, and I was getting quite frustrated. Then I read your post and it occured to me that our baby would eventually come when it was ready. Our baby just needed to finish up some "business" in heaven and wan't done saying it's good-byes to all of our loved ones yet. Well, a week and a half after your post, I found out that we were finally pregnant again! We are expecting our first baby boy in April! Thanks for your inspiration--both crafty and life-fulfilling :)

Jana said...

i definitely LOVE the music! sometimes i'll open a new window so i can leave you page up for the tunes.

and i love the post collin did for your birthday. mostly because i'm jealous that my boyfriend would probably never do that, even if we were married!

vpotter244 said...

Thanks for the great blog, I check it daily for project ideas and inspiration! My favorite song is "Oh, It is Love" by Hellogoodbye, even my two little girls walk around the house singing it! And I love the birthday posts from your husband to you and your "revenge" to him!

Thanks a bunch!

Amanda Bynum Photography said...

Hi Lizzie!

I am obsessed with your blog! I have been reading it daily since you published the url in CK!

I love the playlist & often "borrow" songs for my own blog--that I started after reading yours.

My fave post was probably the one you just posted as one of your favorites with the perfect man pictures related to scrapping.

My fave song is probably the falling in love at a coffee shop song!

:-)

THanks for all 200 posts!

I just LOVE your style, giggle right along with your wit (cleetus rocks!), envy your FAB relationship with your husband, crave your playlist, and totally admire your mad photography skills and seeing the fab photos of your darling girls and family!
Oh, but if I had to pick just one, the Scrapbooker's fantasy was genius, LOVED that.
Looking forward to your next 200 ;)

I'm new to your blog so it was fun to follow your links back and read some older posts. I loved Heaven Sent - maybe because my baby girl's napping on my lap right now and it brought back wonderful memories of those first few days with her.
PS, I just got a crop-a-dile last week. The Christmas cards just have to have eyelets so what choice did I have :)

I am still wiping away tears from your birthday post. Oh, to be that young again and to have my husband do something like that for me. If I win something, I'll have to share it with the gal that introduced me to your blog.

Nicole Renee said...

I love the posts you do about what you and your husband like about each other but, I have to say, nothing has gotten my belly shaking with laughter quite like when your recent post said, *edited by Collin "get your paws off my wife's chest dude!" I almost fell off the chair. " )

The Scrapbooker fantasy is a top fav for sure; my hubby came to see what I was laughing at! but I love and I am inspired by your ideas and your work.

It's hard for me to pick one favorite post because they are all so unique and neat, but if I had to I guess it'd be the one announcing the birth of your daughter Q! I will say that I'm just glad to have the opportunity to view your blog everyday and enjoy both the personal posts AND scrapbooking (since I try to do that too)! I look forward to finding a new post and visit quite often to see if there is one!

Thanks - Stacey

The scrapbooker's fantasty post cracked me up. I even had to show my husband that one. I also enjoy seeing your layouts. I love the "makes me happy" layout. I want to do my own like that. Thanks for all the inspiration!

MEvans said...

My favorite post was probably the one you did about your Dad. Something special about a father- daughter relationship. It made me feel so blessed to still have my Dad around and it inspired me to foster a closer relationship with him. Thank you for that.

I love the one you did after reading the book with all the sarcastic husband photos:) I also love when your hubby posts- too sweet! and I love the fabric mini book ideas you have shared! love your work. I also LOVED the song on your blog when you where pregnant with Q. Can't remember exactly but about a baby inside, it was beautiful:) I rarely post a comment but read faithfully. Thank you for all the inspiration and for a chance at this great gift.

You ain't kiddin, about the giveaways, these are serious!

I discovered your blog, after SOY. I was fascinated by the fact you had never been pubbed before... I loved the goals you had set, and encouraged me to do the same.

I'm impressed by the number of photos you put of you on your blog, I am TERRIBLE at this... and I keep thinking I'll regret it later! And then you introduced me to NieNie. I've been changed ever since. Her story is beautiful, and like you, posted pictures of herself all the time! A lesson worth learning, include you in your story. :)

Thanks!

Shaina said...

I remember the binkie post well, since my girls have been huge binkie lovers.
I also think the posts you and the husband write for each other are super sweet. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite post is "Scrapbooker's Fantasy". I laughed out loud when I read it. I emailed it to my husband and asked him to share it with husband's of my scrapbooking friends. My second favorite is the post by your husband listing the 27 reasons he loves you. I wish my husband would do that for me!

Janessa Cowan said...

Oh how I loved hearing the song "colors" by Kira Willey. It is such a cool and relaxing song. I had never heard it before until I heard it on your blog. Now I listen to it all the time while scrapbooking. Thanks for all of the neat songs,products and ideas that you give us. Congrats on the blog.

Congrats on 200 post. I have to admit Collin down on his knees looking for an eyelet is by far one of my most favorite post... Too funny...

Congrats on your 200th post!!!! My favorite was Scrapbookers Fantasy. In fact, DH & some of his friends are doing calendars for Christmas presents and I looked up that post to show him for ideas. Fantastic giveaway by the way!!

The scrapbookers fantasy was priceless! So funny.

My fav post is the one you wrote all the things that makes your hubby special. My favorite is the picture of your daughter in the "My Mom is hot" t-shirt.

I love anything that has to do with scrapbooking! We get to see your amazing layouts and your incredibly beautiful family!! Thanks for all the inspiration!

Lauren said...

Congratulations! Your blog was the first blog I EVER read!! Now I'm hooked!
My favorite post was when you announced you were going to do the Shades of Summer project. It really made me feel like I was a part of the huge scrapbooking community. Total anticipation until the little box arrived on my doorstep! I hope they all eventually got back to you!
Keep blogging, because we'll keep reading. Plus, we always love hearing about Q and Avery...and Cleetus! :)

Emily said...

Hard choice! I love the one about rainy days, just because Avery looks so cute. But my absolute fave would have to be the scrapbooker's fantasy!

My favorite memory is actually meeting you at the Convention in Mesa in April. You were pregnant and I was wishing I looked like that when I was pregnant! You also had an awesome chunky yellow ring on that I was envious of!!

I have three- the song Sweeter Than This by Katie Herzig, and your remake of the book Porn for Women (Colin is hillarious in those photos), and all the cute photos of your super cute girls!!!

i love the colors! you are always so colorful! i am usually not that colorful in my scrapbooking but have become so much more lately because of you and your constant inspiration. Made a mini-book of urban prairie paper this weekend and thought of you. the colors are so vibrant-something i feel like if i knew you, you would love!

Maritza said...

I love your posts with your husband being funny. You guys make me laugh.

Marni said...

I think my favorite has to be your "Happy Daddy Day" post. I love my husband and my kids love their daddy for the same reasons! (I started reading your blog when I heard about Nie - and now I'm hooked!)

krisalt said...

Sorry Elizabeth but my favorite blog was written by Collin, not you! I loved the blog he did for you on your birthday when he wrote about all of the things he loved about you. What a great husband, what a great couple, what a beautiful family... Love reading your blog - here is to 200 more!!!!

April F said...

I really love ur blog...congrats on the 200th post!!! My favorite post, which brought tears to my eyes, was when Collin posted for your 28th bday...the 28 things he loved about you...it was so dear to me, I was going through a tough time with my boyfriend of 5 years (and still am), marriage talk started and he couldn't handle it...I made the same list for him, and although I cried the entire time, it brought back so many great memories. You and Collin seem perfect for each other!!!

Britta Swiderski said...

I love your links to other's blogs on your blog. I love all of the fresh ideas and points of view that they have. Thanks for being so inspiring!

i have raided your playlist so many times i can't even count. just this week i fell in love with the song "colors" - which, in turn, i shared with my best friend, who is now sharing it with her preschool class... i come for the scrapbooking, but always leave with a new song. :)

i love your music! and i love your girlies! my fave was by far the hubby post and all those funny pictures of him doing house work!

Anonymous said...

You are my daily checkup for funny, inspiring, loving, joyful moments... I'm half a country away from you and feel like you're a good friend... you're another wonderful way scrapping has made my life full of creativity and inspiration, seeing the joy in the little moments (even in lost pink pacifiers, hehehe)! Favorite posts?? The announcement that you were having another girl (you wrote it from the airport on your way to another CK show), and the Scrappers "porn"!! BTW-- please keep up the songs-- you have the best list on the web! We use it as background music when my two girls and I are dancing, creating, even cleaning... from Meg Andrews, Fairport, NY!

Amy Hummel said...

Honestly, mine was the scrapbooker's fantasy too... because I LOVE the pictures you took of Collin! HA! I'd love to re-create that same thing with my husband, but I know that my husband isn't that photogenic, and it just wouldn't be funny. I love that your husband is such a willing subject in your photographs, and on your blog. Mine is 100% resistant to all thing photography/blog/scrapbooking when it comes to his face. Oh well...

Lookiewhatidid said...

I love everything about your blog..such an inspiration..I LOVED Halloween though, your husband looked so funny..didn't even look like him. What great memories you are making..

Your children are beautiful too..

Congrats on the milestone post! Love looking at the great photos of you and your family but my fav post was DEFINITELY the scrapbooker's fantasy. LOVED THAT!!!

I thought the post from June 4th about the shades of summer was fun.
These are all great prizes. There are a couple that I'd LOVE to have. Your girls are too cute.
congratulations on 200 posts.

Abby said...

I'd have to say the Scrapbooker's Fantasy was one of my faves. When I saw the pics before I even read your post, I knew what book you were talking about. I picked it up in the bookstore one day and was totally embarrassed! That was a great one! I love your blog and your work always inspires me!

Jodi said...

I just love your blog!! I don't think I could pick just one blog post I like the most - I like them all. But I do have to say I love blog posts that include dear Collin - he just cracks me up, and I can only imagine how much fun the two of you have together. :)

Melissa said...

Congrats on your 200th blog post! At my rate it's going to take a long time just to get to 100! I better start working on it! My favorite post is by far the Scrapbooker's Fantasy! I laughed so hard at that one! I loved it! Thanks for giving away all the sweet prizes!

Aloicoius said...

Congrats Liz! I really enjoyed your Halloween post from last month. Your hubby looked so awesome! It made me laugh...

I really enjoy your scrapbooking posts as well. You're so creative!

Loved, Loved, Loved the birthday post. It actually brought a lump to my throat....it is easy to learn alot about someone when someone else is describing them! what a beautiful testament to you, as a dedicated wife, mother and genuinely nice young woman. I think that is the one that will always be my fave.

luvzenkm2 (Leea) said...
