Crafty Tuesday

We are at it again…a little more craftiness and with these three layouts, I think Ad’s book is just about done! I mean, I have oodles of photos, I could keep going and going, but I think I’ll switch over and start doing layouts for 2006, and start including Em in the layouts. For all intensive purposes, I caught most of A.’s major milestones and holidays, so I’m calling it d-o-n-e.

A’s first Halloween. She was a lil’ pumpkin.

Her first Easter. I actually got this “kit” with pretty, pretty paper perfect for Easter, from my friend Kimmer. I improvised on a few things and didn’t do it like the kit suggested, but I think that is part of the fun and it turned out alright.

I love this layout. Let’s see how many photos we can cram on a page. I think I got about half of my favorites from Ad’s first Christmas. There were a lot of potentials. But I love, love, love the vintage paper…it is very fun.

What about you? Got something to share? Some craftiness you are itching to show the world? Leave a comment with a link to your goods.

Serious trip to the Park – Best Shot Monday

The girls were very subdued at the park yesterday. Lots of serious, “thinking” shots. I had one of Ad all picked out because it made me laugh out loud when I brought it up. And then I came across this one.

I am always surprised when I come across a photo of the girls that literally takes my breath away. Just an opportunity to stop and admire innocence and beauty for a moment. To forget about the frustrations and trials of the week, and just have that “breathtaking” pause of peace.

Okay, because I cannot resist, I will put up two this week. This was my original BSM before I fell in love with the one of Em.

That is a classic A. look. She is mad because her Crocs are full of sand. It cracks me up everytime I look at. Seriously, I get this look. A lot.

The rest of our park photos are up at Flickr and for more great BSM photos, hop over to Tracey’s.
