I read a blog called Girl's Gone Child...today she posted this Girl's Gone Child: twenty-nine years a mother (it's a long one, but a must read). This is the relationship that I hope my daughter and I have one day, hoping that I have a daughter :)

Ladybug Bridal Shower in Wrightwood....

2009-08-04T10:32:00.000-07:00

I had my first bridal shower and it was so much fun. My Aunt Deb and my cousin Besty hosted it at The Grizzly Cafe in Wrightwood, it was a beautiful day. The ladybug theme was soooo cute!!!

This is the card that was at each place setting, attached is a ladybug pin and written below is the tradition in each country that a ladybug represents.

Yummy cupcakes for the Crusty Tart in upland!!!!

My cousins Lily and Lauren and my flower girls Gemma.

Me and the best bridesmaids in the world, I love all of these girls so much!!!! I had so much fun and I got such great stuff. Thank you so much to my Aunt Deb and Betsy for giving me this shower. I can't will till the next one :)

Happy Birthday to MEEEE......

2009-08-04T09:51:00.000-07:00

I turned 25 this year and Bryan took me to Disneyland for the big day!!!!

We had BBQ ribs aand chicken, bean, cole slaw, and corn bread for dinner. It was really good!!!!

My Birthday pin, it was so weird to walk around and see how may other people share the same birthday as me and all the Disneyland employees tell you happy birthday when you walk by its crazy. It was a fun day with Bryan and he was such a trooper becasue he had just hurt his back at work, he even bought me a balloon at the end of the night..... :)

Draven Post.....

2009-06-19T08:30:00.001-07:00

So Draven started T-Ball this month and I have to say he is like the best hitter on the team!!!! He is on the Angel's and Bryan was hoping for the Doger's of course but maybe next year.....Games start next week and we can't wait to how that goes.....More pictues to come for sure....

Another exciting thing for Draven this month is that he lost his first tooth and then like less than a week later her lost his second tooth....LOL.....

For those that do not know Gemma (not pictured) and Draven are my friend Christina's kids. Bryan and I love them to death.......

One of my Bridesmaid dresses......

Cake Plates......

2009-04-24T09:16:00.000-07:00

So I showed off the new dishes I purchased from Target a few weeks ago and the other day I was on Etsy and saw these cake plates that looked exactly like the dishes I bought. Once I looked closer I realized it was a bowl and a plate glued together.....so I immediately went back to Target after work to get more plates to make these.....I LOVE THEM...they are soooo cute and perfect for summer!!!

I gave one as a gift today and she LOVED it too......I wish I had more to make for all of my friends!!!!

Administrative Professional's Day!!!!

2009-04-24T09:09:00.000-07:00

The blue polka dot plates were $1.29 regularly $2.50 and the green chargers were $2.48 regularly $4.99 and the rectangular serving tray in the middle was $4.98 regularly $9.99..........

I know I left the red clearance tags on but I had to wait for Bryan's approval before I did anything, they are kind of girly......lucky for me he loved them too!!!! I can't wait to see how Christina's table looks when she moves in, she was able to get the whole collection which also included really cute floral and pink plates and bowls.......

Clearance shopping is so much fun!!!!! It hard not to want to go back and keep buying!!!!!!

On the road again.....

2009-03-11T11:59:00.000-07:00

Food Poisoning....

2009-02-02T08:45:00.000-08:00

So on Thursday I ate some Kentucky Fried Chicken with Bryan and not but a couple of hours later I knew something was wrong!!!!! All I have to say it I have never felt so weak and in SOOOO MUCH pain in my life....it's pretty bad when you can barely walk or pick up your phone to send a test message. Finally went to the Dr.'s and it was confirmed "FOOD POISON"....I guess I am going to be feeling some pretty good pain for about a week or so and eating does not sound good AT ALL!!!!!! The up side to this whole thing....Bryan has been a saint and I have lost about 8lbs. since Thursday. Unfortunately they can not give me anything, they say my stomach has to repair on it's own so hopefully I will be back to normally in a couple of days so I can go try on some wedding dresses!!!!

Love these......

2009-01-15T13:23:00.000-08:00

found these on ebay...absolutly LOVE them as favors for the wedding!!!! What do you think?

What do you think??????

2009-01-13T15:11:00.000-08:00

So Bryan found these save the date cards and now he says he has to have them....I am not to sure.....don't get me wrong they are funny.....so I guess we will see :)

I am beyond happy......

2008-12-22T08:13:00.000-08:00

So here it is...my ring!!!! I am sooooo happy!!! Bryan is the best and he did a great job!!! I can't wait to start planing!!!

2008-09-18T09:25:00.000-07:00

I received the Team Player Award at work during our last staff meeting, I was almost in tears while all these wonderful things were said about me!!!!! It is just nice to know that you are appreciated sometimes :)

From: Chilton, Gabrielle
Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 11:31 AM
To: Quintanilla, Margo
Subject: My nomination Team Player/Nordstrom Way

My choice has some outstanding qualities in my opinion and at times does not even realize her virtues. That in itself makes her so special.

She shares her knowledge with anyone willingly. She is very organized and will not hesitate to get up from her desk to show us where it is or how it need to be done to make our office flow. She keeps Personnel wheels greased.

She has a youthful and at times innocent yet very wise way of approaching a situation. She has a Chaffey Spirit that is contagious. For such a young person, somehow she is able to to bridge the gab between young and old. Her desire to keep her Chaffey Family together is strong and honest.

When Chaffey wins, big or small, she sees it as a win for her. She takes pride and ownership in her department and how much it functions as a team. Her creative skills lend a youthful vibe to our office. She makes me laugh daily and I miss her when she is absent.

To me Stacy brings much to our department that we can all learn from. She is a true joy to be near and to work with.

Respectfully Submitted.

GAB

Bryan and Stacy to the rescue........

2008-09-15T14:33:00.000-07:00

unfortunately I did not end up winning!!!!!!

lots more Disneyland pics to come :)

cuteness.....

2008-09-03T15:46:00.000-07:00

These is a little something I put together with the help of Lindsey Light and her very cute business cards. When I first saw these business cards I had thought they were magnets but then I realized what they were and thought I am going to make them magnets. I made these for Chelsey as a hostess gift for our monthly girls game night last month. I knew they would be a great addition to her very cute office.....anyways thank you Lindsey for sparking the idea by sending me these cute business cards.....

fun stuff......

2008-08-26T08:43:00.000-07:00

This is a gift I made for a lady at work who just became a Grandma, she will be going to see her Granddaughter for the first time in Tennessee on Saturday. I thought I would make her a little something and this is it, a photo album to fill up with lot of cute baby pictures :)

I also included a onesie and a bib that said "I Love Grandma" to top it off :) Sometimes I wish I could scrapbook and make cute gifts for people for a living :)

organization is key......

2008-08-25T20:16:00.000-07:00

So Bryan is having a dart tournament for his Birthday on Saturday and I had to come in with some of my exceptional organizational skills!!!!! I was at IKEA the other day and I came across this hanging bucket thing and knew it would be perfect for all of the many dart accessories I have now come to know and it looks pretty cute too!!! Once he put it up he was very pleased as well....this is the life I have come to know on an almost daily basis and so I of course had to put my touch on it.....it will be fun times on Saturday - good food * good friends - thats all you need :)

blah...blah....blah....

2008-08-14T08:54:00.000-07:00

i don't really have much to say......but I did want to show off a baby shower gift I made for a shower I am going to this weekend.....it is not the greatest picture. Anyways I love to put together gift baskets when I can....I feel like I do a pretty good job...so I thought I would share....
