Third layout


So happy to get another page done! {As my other son says,"Mommy, where's mine?"} I just chuckled. I guess I should do one for him next. They really love seeing their pictures done this way. Makes 'em feel pretty special, even though they already are.

This was another fun one to make. I had to crack open my new Serendipity order. Love the blues in this pack!!! But I don't like it when I am working well, and my block drops out of my hand and onto the layout. AHHH! So I had to stamp my capital 'H' where it is. Maybe you can't see it, but I know it's there. Sometimes unintended happenings create better art than you originally intended. {this wasn't one of those times} And sometimes you just have to live with the mistake.


Journaling read: A good nap always did you well! You were not a grumpy little boy....but a good nap always had you up and ready to GO again...It was always fun to come and get you up and out of your crib....I love my little boy. {MOM}

Before I call it a night.....


I want to share a layout I just finished. I love these pictures of my little darling. I remember back to these days. Those shoes, they were like a size 2 or something. SO small. She's in much bigger shoes now. These pictures just remind me of the priveldge and delight of being her mom.

{I had to incorporate the little buckle on her shoes somehow. So I took a chipboard ribbon slide from Close to My Heart and embossed it in silver. I think it did the trick.}

Have a great night, mine is ending.

Sincerely,
Sonja

A fun reason to post.





Well, I've not posted in a little while, we all had the sickies!!! We were just completely drained. And we lost about 4 days of school. And can I say just how hard it is to get up and get going again. We had 4 days of school to get caught up on, and get the house all back together. Thankfully there wasn't much laundry as we had spent the sick days in our PJ's. Always something to be thankful for, right?
Visiting other paper fanatics and their blogs is a lot of fun. Which leads me to where I am going. Erin over at http://inkysmiles.blogspot.com/ is looking for some "masculine" cards. So this just makes it so easy for me to pick something to share. (like easy). One was done for my Husband, son, and the other, well it's a no brainer, it only says "DAD" on it!! LOL.
So thanks Erin, for a fun reason to post.

Sincerely,
Sonja
