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!!

And your music just makes me happy! (my so not computer savy self craves your whole playlist on a CD for my car! :)
You're great! Thanks for another fab chance at a give-a-way!
I have enjoyed when your husband has "hijacked" your blog and written. You guys have a sweet family!
Adrian
200 very inspiring posts! I have to say that I am just overall impressed with your creativity and this blog shows so much of it. Thanks for sharing your talents with us bloggers! appreciate it!
Fav blog was "how to make baby bows"- saved my life with my bald baby girl!
Thanks for your blog. Look forward to it everyday!
kel
I liked the post you did for Colin's birthday (you give people inspiration for being a fun, giving wife)and also the one where Avery has a button stuck to her leg. So typical!
Have a good one!
Emily in Albuquerque
I always look forward to reading your latest posts, whether it be an awesome l/o or a tidbit about your beautiful girls. The scrapbookers fantasy was a funny one. I liked your family photo shoot also, those pics were so pretty. Your music always makes me happy too!
My fav post is Scrapbooker's Fantasy. The evening before this post my husband and I had been joking about stuff along the same lines. I laughed so hard when I saw your version of the ads.
My fav song from your playlist is Lucky by Jason Mraz. Love that song!!!
hi, i'm a newcomer, but i enjoy your music, which i usually hate, and your fun personality shines through in your posts.
thanks for sharing a bit of you with us.
becki, Texas
HAPPY 200th POST!!!! It's hard to pick a favorite post. Your kids are so adorable - I love any post with a picture of them - so cute! Your birthday post that Colin wrote was pretty nice too. Thanks for the opportunity!
Ani
I love the song New Soul. I also love to see your baby things. I just had twins and love the ideas.
Lindsay Jones
Congrats!
I love scrapbooker's fantasy, but really enjoy all of your post. Another thing I enjoy is your music, it always perks me up!
congrats girly :))))
for me, it would have to be scrapbookers fantasy for sure!!!!! love that ;)
One of my favorite post was the one announcing Quincey's arrival. So beautiful.
Callie
I love all your photos on your blog!
Heaven Sent is one of my favs but I have many, havin a baby girl myself I wanted to use that on a title of a scrap papge! Your family is SO cute! Your blog is def in my favs!!! ~ Erica
My favorite was the pics of Quincey's birth!! She is such a gorgeous little angel!
My favorite post was the one in which you quoted President Uchtdorf's talk at the Relief Society General Meeting. I was inspired also that he asked us to create beauty. To use our talents to be creative, even if we don't think we have creative talent. I loved how he expanded the definition of creativity beyond what most women think of it as into something that we can all work towards, "Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before." To often we women won't try something unless we know it will be perfect or we obsess over it until it is perfect. Our biggest critic and deterant is usually ourselves. Thank you for posting a portion of his talk. I felt so touched by it while sitting at my stake center surrounded by friends and fellow sisters. It reminded me that I don't have to be perfect, I just need to try. If I was then what would I do with myself. Perfection is something we all should strive towards. The lesson is in the journey, not the destination. It's okay, if we fail, we just need to try!!!
Congratulations on your 200th post! Thanks for sharing with us!
Love the birthday posts, the karaoke, and also your taste in music. Congratulations on your 200th post!
HAPPY 200th POST!!!
oh my gosh! I LOVE IT ALL! But most recently... I enjoyed meeting Cleetus. He reminds me of someone I know! No joke!! And... when your husband posted 27 things he loved about you! So sweet! He's a keeper!!
Blessings,

Holy moly guacamole! You have some killer giveaways, seriously! Ok, I love your blog and there are too many good memories to break them down. But welcoming your new baby girl is at the top of the list and hubby posts on triathlons to endless humor from Cleetus. But I really just love all of your designs and visiting your blog brightens my day because of how positive your spirit is! Congrats on getting to 200 posts. You are a blogging queen!
I love the mini book for mini me. So cute and I made one inspired by yours and I absoulutely love it. Your posts make me smile.
Congrats Liz! That is wonderful! My favorite post by far is the absolutely sweet one Collin posted for your birthday. It was witty, fun, adorable and oh so sweet!
Yay for you Liz!
I remember the post called "Pink Pacifier"... It made me giggle because I have triplets and all three were pacifier-addicts. I couldn't imagine losing pacifiers under any circumstances, so I ordered lots of back-ups online! LOL
I would absolutely love to win any one of your generous giveaways... oooh I hope I'm a lucky blog reader!
:)

Congrats...wow 200 posts! that is a lot! I've loved them all, but the funniest is probably the scrapbooker's fantasy! hilarious!
It's hard to pick a favorite...I like the one where Avery played with your buttons & one stuck to her leg, the one with the cute pink & brn mini book with the ruffles, the one where your dh took great pics of the kis... I could keep going...
How can I NOT choose the Scrapbooker's Fantasy? You and Collin are HIL-AR-IOUS, and he's such a good sport!
Hi Lizzy! CONGRATS, CONGRATS, CONGRATS!!! What an accomplishment to have 200 posts, and I honestly can't pick just one, I have sooo enjoyed everyone! And I do mean everyone of them, whether it was about scrapbooking or cards or your precious babies or your wonderful hubby & yourself! You truly have one of the best blogs out there. I will be glad when I can get mine set up and I hope I can remember to be just as real as you have been in all 200 posts! Again, congrats! And keep up the awesome work!
One of my favorite posts of yours was the scrapbooker fantasy! I love that your husband would do that! I also loved your SOY photos and memories post. It's hard to just pick one I love ALL of your posts!
your blog is one of my favorite to stalk.... (sorry i should leave comments all the time.) and i don't usually enter contests, but i can't resist your great giveaway.
i know how much work it is to keep a blog + all the work you do for CK so thank you for all the inspiration, time and effort.
love everything about your bolg, your zest for life and the things around you. I especially love the post about your office paint color. Cool, very cool!
Holly,UT
I love your blog! It is so fun, upbeat and light-hearted. Often making me realize not to take life so seriously. Although I don't know you, your personality seems to shine through. Thank-you for all the inspiration from your scrapbook pages-your style is awesome!
I definitely loved the Scrapbooker's Fantasy post. That was hilarious!!!!! Love your blog. :)
I love all your posts. Visiting your blog always makes me happy. The music, the layouts and tips and your sweet family. Here's to the next 200!
I loved the one of the birth of Quincey. The pictures were so sweet, they made me cry. But I always enjoy all of your blogs. Oh yeah, and the one where you couldn't wait to paint your scrap room, so you just painted whatever you could reach without moving anything. You are so funny!
Wow, thank you so much for your wonderful blog! It is so much fun to come visit you :) I am always amazed at how many goofy things Colin will do, he kills me! I love the birthday post, so sweet. I really am inspired by your colour choices, your music, your fabric books, on and on,...Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on 200 posts!! And how am I suppose to choose a post??? I've got to say I laughed out loud at the scrapbookers fantasy post, and cried like a baby at the post of Avery's birth written by your hubby. So those would be tops for me :) ALSO I'm always stealing some sweet tunes from you, and since I JUST got an IPOD (where have I been, right???) I would LOVE an iTunes card... but a big shot work too ;) Your inspiring girl, keep it up!!!
Your blog is always so bright, happy and cheerful. Always makes me smile!
Nicol
I really liked it when Collin posted the 27 things for your birthday.
My fav, hands down is when Colin posted telling wonderful things about you on your birthday.
That is just so stinkin' sweet!
I loved all of your entries, so i can't choose one. but i did like the 11 years later one. i can't even imagine still being together with the guy that took me on my first date (which was oddly enough, the homecoming dance as well) maybe if he had asked me with a tub of ice cream we would have lasted.
so jealous ;)
Congrats girl!!!! I love checking out your blog. I guess one of my fav posts would be your SOY post :-)I can't believe the goodies you've got to give away!! I've been drooling over the cuttlebug for quite sometime now... maybe one day .. lol
I actually love everything about your blog, the layout, color choices, adorable photos of your girls and the inspiring scrapbook pages, also can't forget the Lenka song you had on here for quite awhile. Love it!
Being a labor and delivery nurse myself my fav is Quincey's birth. The shot of her just born and the nurses in the background, just reminds me of how special my job is that I get to experience miracles everyday with families like yours. --Jodi Campbell
I love everything about your blog. Your amazing photos, awesome ideas, your beautiful girls and your silly and thoughtful relationship you share with your husband. I hope there is plenty more to come. I look forward to each new posting. Thanks for all your inspiration and creativity.
I always love your blog posts, but I have been so inspired by your projects. I bought my reusable grocery bags b/c of your cute recycle signs on your bags. I also love your layouts. The colors, everything make me happy.
I have to say that I loved your post about painting your studio and not waiting till Collin got home so your furniture was still in the way. That is so something I would do.
Congrats on the 200th!
the scrapbooker's fantasy was definitely a treat! ;) thanks so much!! lisa k in tx
You have so many blog posts it's hard to just pick one memorable one. But, for some reason, I remember the one where you interviewed your hubby and during the interview he "farted". It doesn't get any more honest and open as that! I was laughing hysterically.
I just love visiting your blog to to see fresh colors, funky ideas & a little silliness! Thanks & congrats!
Lindsay in AR
My fave recent post is Quincey as a flower for Halloween.
I found your blog through Creating Keepsakes and it's wonderful. You have opened my eyes or shall I say ears to some different music. Love Lenka. My kids love when I look at your blog and they dance around to the music. I have to say your posts about your funny hubby crack me up. It's important to have humor in your life and it sounds like you all have it in bucket fulls.
Thanks for taking time to share your life and creations.
Wendy
Congrats on number 200!! That is awesome. I love your blog - so happy and sunny. I loved the Scrapper's Fantasy Blog and Colin's Karaoke was pretty darned funny too! Love it and would love to win something!!
Linda R.
SLUNG LO! I love that song now! Thanks for exposing me to some fun new music!
I LOVE EVERYTHING about your blog!! I enjoy looking at the photos of your sweet children and all of your creativity! Sometimes I pull your blog up on my computer just so I can listen to your playlist! :)
Thanks for a chance to win!!!
Destiny
I love all your creative inspiration.
WOW! I don't know if you actually will read my post because I am now the 658 person to respond but I just wanted to tell you my most favorite post of yours. It was when Collin posted about you for your Birthday! That was the sweetest post I have seen by a husband! I could feel the love he has for you and your family. Even though I have never met either of you, I love hearing about your love for eachother and your children!
Don't get me wrong.... I love love love all the AWESOME and CRAZY ideas you come up. But it touches my heart to hear a husband talk about his wife the way Collin writes about you!
Happy Scrappin'!
Love the music...several of the songs have ended up on my iPod. Keep up the great work. You are so inspiring.
Loved the Cleetus posts, hysterical! And, of course, your upbeat music! I even had to download the whole Lenka album from iTunes. Congrats on 200 posts!
Julie
My very first issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine that arrived in my mailbox was YOUR 'Scrapbooker of The Year' issue. I've been hooked on the magazine AND your blog ever since! My favorite blog you wrote was Jibber Jabber. The talk about Creativity and Compassion really touched my heart as did Avery's funny jibber jabber. Her referring to the word, No! by answering "...went nigh nigh" made me laugh and is a great example of how children so easily can open our eyes and keep you laughing. Thanks. Your blog is my happy place!
Jackie B. (jackjack218)
I don't know you in real life, but the person and family you write about on your blog always seem full of life and love. It's refreshing and beautiful.
My favorites are your birthday ones (you and your DH) and the Scrapbooker's Fantasy. How funny and how we all wish it were true!
Yeah! You are so talented! I love to "steal" all your ideas. I've jsut recently found you but one of my fav posts was about your daughters new big girl bed. We just moved our son into a big bed too!

My fave is the actually two...your birthday post by Collin-what an awesome hubby you have!! And the hysterical Cleetus...made me laugh. You guys seem to have an awesome relationship with each other & most importanly God! Your blog makes me smile not only because of the happy music but because of your posts. Thank you! You are part of my daily computer routine. Have a great day! Jennifer in MO
I have to say that your blog is one of my favorite scrapblogs! You have the cutest family and I really enjoy the pics of the kids.
Thanks for a chance to win such great prizes,
Cindy D
I really liked the little recycling bags that you made with the cool fabric, and also the quilt you made. So cute! I bought the supplies to make one, too! Enjoy your blog so much--what a great family!
I'm not sure I could pick a favorite post. I have been reading since shortly before you won SOY, and just love the inspiration in your blog. Everything from the banner, to the scrapbook pages, to the songs, to the sweet stories about your family....I strive to be as good a person, mom, and scrapbooker as you are. Congrats on 200 posts. And thanks for all of the great RAKs!!
Jessica L
Recently tried the spice cake pumpkins cookies. Oh so easy, and delish! -Rachelle B.
Congradulations. Honestly I can't choose a favorite. You blog is so fun. The music is adorable and the pictures are amazing. You bring a "freshness" to the scrapbooking world. You are like a girls' best friend. But anyways you are cool!!!
Blessings

I loved the one where you posted a picture of the little shoes you had bought when you were still pregnant with Q. I also loved the video when you were on a cruise and Collin entertained everyone at karoke night!

Elizabeth - You are just such a joy and a true inspiration from your fabulous musical selections (of which I have purchased many on itunes), your scrapbook pages, your great photos, cutie pie family and the love you share for those in your life! Thanks for the blogging - your site rocks!

So nice of you Liz to offer such wonderful gifts. My favorite blog post was the one: Prayers for Nie Nie. If it wasn't for that post I would of never learned of Stephanie & Christian and their awful accident but most of all how their family has stood by them through everything and banded together in every way possible to help them and their children through this ordeal. What an incrediable family. Their positive thinking and outlook on life is amazing and I will be forever effected by it. So, thank you! Carly craftiegal @ ckmb-for some reason I can only post anonymous on your blog? LOVE LOVE LOVE Your music too-I would buy a cd if you made it just of all your songs you have on here.
I enjoy the blogs with your adorable girl's pics in them.
Wow, congratulations, Elizabeth!
And thanks for an awesome giveaway! I'd die for a Crop-A-Dile, please choose me)))
Kindest regards,
Anastasia
I really like Priscilla Ahn. Her music makes you happy even if your'e not!
Flower814
My favorites are the birthday posts... you guys are just too sweet! love random pictures of your hubby too, they make me laugh! ha :)
it is so hard to choose. I love them all for different reasons...if I had to choose one because it almost made me pee my pants...Cozumel Karaoke!
I have loved reading your blog this last few months. I love to come and check out your new music.
Keep up the good work.
-Sara
my favorite was the birth of quincey. I would come here ofter to see if she had arrived yet. That feeling of she's almost here is priceless. I love reading your blog, it is always first on my list. Also love the music, i've gotten quite a few downloads just from your music selections. Thanks for sharing your wonderful family with us. Kari.

To tell you the truth they are all my favorites...
I just can't get enough of the love you and your family have for each other and GOD... it is truely amazing... and I love when you show what it's like in UTAH... I have a good friend out there in salt lake...all alone... and he doesn't really show pictures... and I can't go there that often... so it is nice to know when it is snowing or raining... so I can give him a warm cheer up call....
Thanks for being so inspiring....
and keep blogging!!!
I really can't decide between Q's birth and Scrapbooker's Fantasy.... I love looking at all your creations as well, they have given me some good ideas! Thanks for your blog!
boy it's hard to pick! it gave me GOOSEBUMPS when quincey was born and you posted the pics with the song 'sweet baby'. so inspired with the birthday 'lists' you did for each other. and cleetus rocks!
thanks for satisfy my addiction of scrapiness! :)
anna
I love the scrapbooker's fantasy post your husband did for your birthday...so funny! Your happy music always makes me smile too!!
I have two favorites (though I really enjoy each post) I love the birthday one your husband did for you, so special. But I love the one introducing your new beautiful baby. Any with your girls are adorable!
I absolutely love how your blog is pure eye candy! AND ear candy (even though that just sounds gross!)...I am sure your song choices are just a small reflection of what a happy and wonderful person you are. Laaahuuuve it!
congratulations on 200 blog posts!!! How exciting!! I love love love the music you have on your blog (thank you for introducing me to Priscilla Ahn). My favorite blog post so far is the one you did for Collin for father's day. It was so sweet!
i was just about to leave a comment just to say that i always come to your blog even if you don't update so i can listen to the music, and hten i read the post and saw that you mentioned it :) LOVE the music, i have a playlist on my itunes called "elizabeth kartchner" with all the songs i've bought thanks to you.
My favorite posts are definitely Scrapbooker's Fantasy and the birthday post that Collin did for you. You are such an adorable couple. I LOVE reading your blog. You inspire me! Really it's hard picking just one or two posts, I love them all. Happy 200th post!
I enjoy your blog and photos of your family very much ! I have many favorites but I think the one that made me laugh out loud was the "Scrapbookers Fntasy", which I shared with my husband and daughter.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, and congrats on your 200th post ! Greetings from Vancouver BC !
I just recently found your blog so I dont have two many memories of past posts. However I am definately a regular visitor now. You are a grat inspiration.
Congrat on your 200th! My absolute favorite was the scrapers fantasy!! The pic of your husband was hysterical!! Thanks for sharing your life and ideas with us. It is so fun!!! Your music is pretty awesome too.
thanks for sharing,
Kimberly
I love your blog...you are so creative! I love seeing all your scrapbook work! SO good!
My favorite blog memory was your SOY post. How exciting! I was so happy for you:)
Hi Liz!
My favorite posts are usually the ones that involve Collin...he is hilarious, you got lucky with that one! I also love how you got me hooked on Colbie Calliet...love your blog!
Megan S. from Syracuse, UT
I'm new to the blogging world but LOVE your site!!! Since I first checked it out earlier this fall, I have enjoyed going back and reading each and every post!! I'm not crazy, just inspired...it also reminds me a lot of our family fun! :)
So, I would have to say my favorite Scrapbooking post is the Oh Baby! I have a 10 month old son, so it was fun to see what you did with your kit! And my other favorites are the ones where you talk about ya'lls family fun (and not so fun!) times!!!
Thank you Elizabeth!
I have to admit "Scrapbookers Fantasy" has got to be the best. I really enjoy your blog and have been a follower for some time you have a beautiful family! Pick me, Pick me!
Congratulations! One of my favorite things on your blog was your recommendation to listen to Jaymee. I bought the CD after hearing it on your blog and it's become one of my most favorites! Thank you!!!! -Sharyn :)
I've enjoyed all your posts--things you've made for your beautiful girls, birthday lists by both you & Colin but the one that made me laugh the most was the post on Scrapbooker's Fantasy! Loved it so much! I was laughing so hard my hubby asked what was up and he, too, thought it was great. Thanks for sharing your inspiration, projects, and family with the blog world! Congratulations!
Congrats, Liz! I just love reading your blog and love to see that friends of mine are now reading your blog now too! So fun! :)
My favourites are all of your beautiful scrapbook pages :) So much inspiration :)
I don't have a specific favorite post, but I enjoy the posts about you and your family (especially those that show the things you do and make for Avery and Quincey). You see, I am not a mom yet. I am not even married! But, I look forward with great anticipation to the days where I can experience the same things that you do with your little girls. It warms my heart to see such good examples of motherhood.
Your "a mini for mini me" album inspired me to get a bind-it-all for myself. I am addicted! I love that thing, I am constantly binding everything. So thank you for making a post about it cuz I love mine.
My fave memory? when you won SOY!! It was great to see that there is hope to someday become famous in scrapbooking!! ;)
I love all the pics of Avery in your scrapbooking stuff and the stories of the antics she gets into around your stash. I can completely relate. My son and Avery should play "get into mommy's scrapbook supplies" together one day :-) At least we are fostering creativity right???
My favorite post, if you only let us pick one, is Collin's 27 things for your Birthday. He's so creative, like you, and I'm so glad he let us see all the fun things about you and the moments your family shares.
Congrats on your successful blog! I have to vote for the Scrapbookers Fantasy as well. I remember laughing out loud and it's probably the one thing on a scrap blog I've ever shown my husband! Loved it! I always enjoy your music as well. Thanks!
Kasey Tschepen
I think that my favorite post was when Quincey was born.
Congrats!!!
De Anne Barker
I absolutely love anything you create. I love your playlists and all the wonderful color combos you use. I really liked the post about starting to paint your scrap space before moving furniture. This is something I would totally do.
Aimee M
Your artwork is always inspiring and I enjoy reading your personal stories. But, I have to tell you that the music on your blog gave me a huge dose of inspiration. There were some artists I'd never heard of before and since downloaded onto my ipod. When I need to get into a creative mood I check out your blog, plug in my ipod and groove to the tunes! You rock Elizabeth, keep inspiring your fellow bloggers!
Love your blog!! My favorite was when your baby was born! She is precious!!
love the tunes too!
Congrats on the 200th post!!
I love the birthday blog your husband did-so cute!
You do such a great job and are an insipration!
-Amanda P.
Each day when I check your blog and the song 'Don't Let me Fall' comes on, my three year old Son will just dance and dance around the room while I read - he gets quite upset if your posts aren't long enough for me to stay on your blog long enough for the whole song!
Your blog is wonderfully inspiring and I've enjoyed every visit and getting 'to know you' through your posts....Thank you!
my favorite was definatly the scrapbooker's fantasy. i laughed for ever when i read it. and your music! i have found so many great artists through you!
So hard to choose! But definate love when you have the family play along - Collin is so dang cute and a great sport(ter)..... I also have to confess that sometimes I just have your blog 'playing' in the background - cause of the awesome tunes!!!!
the post where you introduced you new cuddle bug miss quincy rose was my favorite :)
Well how do I even begin? I was due with my 5th child, a boy after 4 girls and was ready to pop! The music and pictures on your blog inspired me so, that immediately I went to blogger and started my own blog... THAT SAME NIGHT... (you know those hormonal attach yourself to the music, sights, and scents of the end of your pregnancy!) I began checking your blog a couple times a day for updates for inspiration in life! Funny here you are younger than me(by about 8 yrs I think) and I had 4 more kids than you (at the time) and yet I was coming to your blog for that extra sparkle I was missing in my daily life! {thank you}
I {CAN'T} pick a fav because all are wonderful, but I will tell you that I so enjoyed the video of Collin on the cruise... I check it out when I need a laugh! :) Your pictures and musing inspire me the most, as they are a glimpse into your amazing life!
Oh and one more thing... my husband still asks me "are you still checking out that blog? You don't even know those people!" and my answer will remain "Yep, she inspires me to do better!"
I enjoy all of your blog posts & really like your music. I find myself singing the songs often so I've added them to my playlist. Thanks for the inspiration!

One of the things that I love about your blog is the music that you have on here. I'm not up-to-date on the music out there these days, but I really enjoy your choices. (And of course I love your pics and seeing the creative things you have done.)
Katrina M
I'm sorta new to your blog, but have really enjoyed your creativity - definitely going to have to try making my own little fabric album - how darling!!
Congrats on your 200th post!
I think my fav blog post was the one Colin did for you on your birthday...It was so sweet!! I also love whenever you post pictures! I LOVe looking at them, and sooo enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing about your life with us!
-Elisabeth C
Ok so I was REALLY inspired by your fave 30 blog. In fact I made my own dear hubby an '30 things I love about you' card and he loved it. Thats is, obviosly, my favorite post so far. Thanks a bunch and keep 'em coming!
~Alysia Peterson (of Spokane)
love your blog and all of the inspiration I find here. Thanks for offering up such a great RAK! Hoping for another 200 great posts for you....
What an awesome giveaway! My favorite part of your blog is all the awesome pictures! I love the fun, upbeat feel to them!
Thanks!

I love any of the posts containing your mini albums...so creative and amazing!

Believe it or not your blog is what got me into the blogging world. I took one of your classes at the April 08 CKC. So great! It was an AWESOME class! I overheard a few gals talking to you about your posts...
Anyhow like three months later it crossed my mind so I logged on and I have been hooked ever since. Between you and Ali Edwards I just can't get enough inspiration! You show a very real, very true human side of being a creative woman, wife and mom. And holey moley your playlist rocks!
I guess what I am trying to say (giveaways aside) thank you for taking a few minutes out of your days to touch our lives and inspire us to stretch our creative minds.
Love it all actually. Especially how you keep it real and you (and Collin's ) sense of humor. Keep up the good work.
Not that this is my favorite of your posts, but it made me wish I had done the same thing on this momentous election day this year, especially since my dh and I went to the polls together, something we've never donne before - I LOVE that you took a pic of the two of you with your "I voted" stickers. that picture + the title "did you?" was all that needed to be said. It was great.
My fav has got to be Collin's karaoke. What would we do without crazy husbands? Ashlee F.
I always love the music on your blog, I've even gone and downloaded song for myself!
THanks for the chance to win this great stuff!
My favorite post is the pics of your post Q delivery. My husband and I have very low chances of conceiving and it has been difficult for us. Seeing those beautiful photos reminds us of the hope and power of prayer.
Hi Lizzy,
Like all the others, I love your blog! My favorite post is "jibber jabber", the photos of your daughter are awesome, but also this post really touched me. The "creativity and compassion" talk was so inspiring, and really gave me a boost that day. Many day's if I'm bummed out, I know I can go to your blog for a "happy" fix.
Take care,
Karen Joslin
I like the one that your husband did for you on your birthday. It inspired me to do a similar thing for my husband and then a layout for the list. :) Thanks for the inspiration.
Have a great day.

I'd have to say my favorites are the ones with you and your hubby, you two are so cute together. So Silly.
And I love the pic of your daughter climbing on your table with the button on her leg.
Happy 200th post!!!
There are so many favs. but mostly the scrapbookers fantasy and the birthday post. Couldn't pick between the two. You and your husband make me laugh!!
Happy 200th post.

My favorite blog post was the announcement of Q's birth. I was waiting with baited breath and was so thrilled to discover that Q arrived on the same date as my first little girl was born - only 12 years later! She now has a little sister that followed two years later . . . and a brother that arrived 10 years after that . . . .and a new baby sister than was born this February! I'll be watching this blog over the next decade to see if your next two are a boy and girl respectively!
Wow! Congrats! Your blog is one of my favorites. I have it listed in the Top Blogs category in Google Reader. Thanks for all the inspiration and great ideas.
Out of all of the blogs that you've posted, I think that the ones that stick out most in my mind are the ones that you and your hubby wrote for each others b-days. Totally fun, random things that only the two of you would get...sounds like something me and my own sweetie would do for each other!
Congratulations on your milestone, and here's to hundreds more!

I love your blog and actually picking one favorite post is quite difficult! You always have so many wonderful ideas, pictures and great laughs on your blog.
Most recently one of my favorites though, I would have to say would be your Halloween Cleetus! We too have a Cleetus that shows up to all family functions (including weddings, dinners & we have even had a Cleetus Santa at our Family Christmas Party's) Definetly makes for some great laughs and even better memories!!!
Thanks for the chance to win.

HAPPY 200TH POST!!! What an accomplishment! I have absolutely LOVED reading your blog and I must say that I am ADDICTED!!! You just inspire like crazy. It was so hard to choose a favorite--I love your creativity from Halloween to scrapbooking to cha cha (which I love so much now!) to pictures you take to your blog layout. It is such a blast to get to get to know your beautiful family--thanks for sharing your life with everyone!

Definitely the Scrapbooker's fantasy post. It couldn't have been more hilarious. My husband enjoyed it as well :)

I have this particular one that I feel very certain and encouraging after reading which you said "God has a plan for each of us."
That blog was on Friday, August 22, 2008 (Pray for Nie Nie). I'm touch because I've seen how blogging was not only to share our lives with others but also the lives of others who often needs our prayers and a companion to journey together.
In the mist of our journey in darkness, there we have a torch-light (a companion) to walk with us. That is God and our friends.
To be quite honest I recently started reading your blog and I'm in love with your style. This blogging thing is so new to me but you inspired me to start my own blog and now I'm addicted. Keep up the blogging and I can't wait to celebrate my 200th post!
Congrats on #200! I have loved seeing your scrapbook layouts and mini albums. I have also loved the random posts like your hubby at Halloween, the trampoline, and I love the color you painted your scrap room!! Thanks for keeping it real!
I really like the song you have playing now.
Lizzy,
I am so glad to have met you through your blog and CK. I love reading me some Lizzy et al.
My favorite post has to be the Pron for Women. My assistant at work is getting a personalized copy. Love Love Love your music - made up a playlist based on your choices - your playlist always makes me happy. Love Love Love your beautiful kids - and your older one's room - that was great.
Looking forward to reading your blog for many years...
Tonya
totally love your pics of hubby and the scrapbookers fantasy! hilarious! congrats on the 200th post!
CONGRATS Liz!!!
And holy cow look at those prizes!!! I love your blog, ever since I saw you on the cover of CK I've been checking daily for updates!! Love your style - and I love how important your family is to you!!
My favorite is your entry on the birth of your daughter. I was pregnant at the time and I could not stop crying.

Oh a fav is impossible to pick, your little girls are so darn cute, each post with them is better than the previous. And then you have your husbands contributions.... Love your blog!
That's alot of posts! I wish I was consistent with my blog. Anyways, I love reading your blog. Good luck to me on winning a prize! My daughter will get a prize tomorrow when she reaches 10 stars on her potty chart! Yeah for potty-training and ramdom comments...
I loved your trip to newport beach... and the pictures from {the digital orange}- I am kind of into photography.... so to see his work was amazing!!!!
Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time posting to your heart warming blog. I'm not after any prizes as I live waaaay over in Sydney, Australia. I'm doing this because I'm fairly new to blogging (only a few months), and whenever I look at your blog it amazes me just how many people follow and I end up daydreaming that one day I may be this popular. When starting out, it can be a bit lonely at times with only one or two comments if you're lucky, but you have made me feel better as I've looked at some of your first posts which look similar to mine at the moment in their simplicity. So I want you to know that you have given me real hope that with a bit (ok maybe a lot LOL!!!) more nuturing, one day I may have a following as prestigious as yours (I'm aiming straight for the top LOL!!!). Congrats to you on your 200th post and thanks for warming my heart with all the wonderful insights into your extraordinarily charmed life, till next time, Tiff :o)
I really like a post with your sweet daughter on your scrapbook table!It's very sweet!
Congrats on your 200th post.
Scrapbooker of the Year post by far. I truly felt your happiness and have been a fan ever since. Congrats on your 200th post.
Kudos again
Kisha
lawton,ok
congrats on your 200th post! :)
many many many favourite posts
but scrapbooker's fantasy really made me laugh like crazy! :) and i love the way you show that you adore and respect your husband from your blog posts :)
I loved scrapbookers fantasy and also the one with a link to a video clip of Collin singing karoke.

I love your post "busy" on october, 1 2008.
I like to hear the music selection.
I'm a recent reader of your blog so I don't have a lot to choose from, but I do love the pics of your kids at Halloween! Your dd was just so sweet in that flower hat :) Congrats on 200 posts!
Can't choose a favorite...you all are way cool. Love the blog.
My absolute fave post was the one your husband did on your birthday. What an awesome thing to do, so heartwarming!
Congrats on your 200th post, keep 'em coming! I always read your blog, so funny and inspirational!
Long time looker...first time poster. I love all your posts, but I do think my favorite was the Scrapbooker Fantasy. Collin is such a great sport. Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us!
Love the birthday post. Inspired my anniversary post to my husband with the same theme... 7 memories from our married life and 7 things I love about him.
Congrats on 200! I admit I've been reading your blog for just a short time, but I love your style and personality that comes through. I also like that on November 4, you did a subtle, "Did you?" Other blogs turned into a political boxing match instead of fun, light scrapbooking topics. I also love the support that you get from your husband. I think it's so cool that he's into your hobby!
Just like everyone, one of my favorite posts was the Scrapbooker's Fantasy. If I'm in the need of a "cheer up" moment, all I need to do is check out your blog. I'm usually snickering or having an awwww moment when checking out your blog. I love the pictures that you (even the cookie dough, and yes I've come close to eating a tub of cookie dough) and Collin take and love your whitty clever titles on your posts and scrapbook pages.
Happy 200th and thanks for sharing your life with all of us.

I LOVE the birthday post Collin did for you! It inspired me to make a minibook just like it for my best friend's birthday. I also loved following your pregnancy through your beautiful pictures and heartwarming posts. Congratulations!
Congrats on your 200th post! I just love your blog. My favorite post since I started following your blog was your birthday post written by your sweet hubby. I remember telling my hubby about it and hinting about how I would love something like that!
Congrats on your 200th post!! I love checking out your blog. Anything to do w/ your children is my fave! I can relate cause I have 2 kiddos of my own! Thanks for always sharing!!
Hello my Friend! I just love reading your blog to hear your voice. You have such spirit and energy...you SHINE! I think one of my fave things about your posts is how you love color as much as I do! Did you get that J.Crew jacket we were drooling over? But I don't need to win your fabu prize package...just telling you I tagged you on my blog if you want to have a ready-made blog post! See you soon!
Thought I'd drop my 2 cents by...even though with this many comments...I have no chance of winning.
I love your blog...especially the design. And although I love to read your posts...it's the pictures that I really enjoy the most!!
WOW - how generous of you!
I love your very pink post, where you showcased the pink album. Most of all I love your photos. You capture the beauty of your children so well, maybe that is why I love the pink album, because it showed so many of them!
~TanyaS
The birthday post was great. I also loved the post about your sister getting her mission call. :)
I just love the whole blog. You are so fun and fresh and it does my heart good! THanks!

LOVE your blog...always checking in to see your pics you post of the kiddos and get some scrappy inspiration! Happy 200...
Hey Liz, Happy 200th Post!!!! I love reading your blog and you always have great tips and tricks to share. I do love your music choices though, and you introduced me to Regina Spektor who is now one of my favorites. Thanks!
It's also fun for me to know a scrapbook celebrity!
Hi, I have been checking out your blog for awhile but rarely post.. Anyway, love your blog and all your creativity. My favorite post was the scrapbooker's fantasy..so clever and hilarious! :)

Oh I really love all of your posting, you have such a wonderful family and you are so darn creative... Pink Pacifier was cute as can be... Heaven Sent is so beautiful... Love them all. I look forward to your postings... Happy 200th...
My favorite is the blog with all the pumpkins and your SISTER!! My sister is my best friend and has been scrapping for many yrs. Thank you for sharing with us.
I really like your music and seeing pics of your beautiful children....
Happy 200th! I love your blog! Becca :)
I love how you tell your husband, "You take it, I post it" in reference to silly pictures that he takes of himself. So funny.
For sure, without a doubt was the blog entry of Colin in those "ads". my husband and i had a good chuckle... :)
My favorite post was probably when you got to get away for a little bit and took a drive! Then you were immediatly inspired to scrap it! :) And my favorite song is gray blue by jaymay. I love it.
Congrats on the 200th post!
I love seeing the pics of your growing belly (I am pregnant now) and that your site has music. Most blogs that I go to don't so it's always a surprise, sometimes a LOUD surprise when i come here!
