LO Share - On the Move

 

Quick little title page for 021's album.  They started motoring at a very early age, and haven't really stopped!

LO Share - Baby

 

I try to follow the Library of Memories system, and this is the Title Page for my older's Baby section. Hard for me to believe that was 21 years ago! Yikes!

LO Share - Happy Birthday

 I really love the clean lines and simplicity of this layout.  Not a lot of anything to distract from all the pictures.  And I love that I was able to get so many on there!

Paper = Basic Grey

TitleZ and Journal BlockZ from BenzillaScrapping

Thanks for checking it out!

LO Share - Bithday

 Starting to dabble a little bit more in the pocket pages arena.  It's fun to do something different...

LO Share - Expecting You (Ben)

 Just a super sweet, and fast, LO to commemorate being pregnant with my first. He's 19 now!  Wow! and I think it was my first LO to use the giant punch from EK Success to make the circle cutout.  They truly are GINORMOUS! and so much fun!  LOL

Paper is Basic Grey, and I did the inking.

LO Share - Elle Tunes

Simple layout using Basic Grey to list off some of my fave songs...

LO Share - Preschool

Ah,  my youngest's first days at preschool.  Seems so long ago, I guess it probably was since he's (almost) 16 now. They had a great program there, at Little Friends (Friends Church), he would do preschool in the AM, and then daycare in the afternoon; that allowed me to work full time. This was right after we had separated and I moved back home with my parents.  It was so hard on all of us. I was so happy that I was able to find some place that he really enjoyed being at. A lot of times my mom would pick him up in the afternoons because of my shifts. He doesn't remember it, but I'm glad she got that time with him before she passed.

Thanks for looking!

LO Share - Crawl

Fun little layout that I did for my second son, who crawled very early...

LO Share Companion

Just a cute, quick layout I did to document my younger son's attachment to his pacifier.

Thanks for checking it out!

LO Share - Unconditional

This was a very simple, quick layout.  Probably my favorite kind!  My older son had such an attachment to his pacifier and this documents a bit of the story.

Thanks for checking it out!

LO Share - But I'm not sleepy/News from the Studio

Good morning!  It looks like we will be having a beautiful, sun-filled day today. We had a line of nasty storms go through a couple of days ago, so it is a welcome change!  We are also preparing for the upcoming nuptials of the eldest child of the bunch.  That is a very weird experience for me, but one that I am delighted to be included in.  The festivities start tonight.

We are continuing to settle into the new house and find our new rhythm.  It has been a lot of yard work and painting and unpacking.  In fact, it is almost time for the boys to have summer with their dad.  I can't believe it has flown by so fast.  It always makes me feel sad and like I have squandered the time.  I know I haven't really, it is life, and they have to learn that, but I'm also learning more and more every day just how precious it really is.

Yes, I was creepy and used to take pictures of them sleeping.  Probably wouldn't get away with that now.  015 always insists he's not sleepy and that sleeping is a waste of time.  It can become a serious issue around here.  But I think he's slowly starting to understand that it is a necessary evil.  The top picture, the most recent, he was probably 9.  I honestly can't remember why they both ended up in my bed that night.  Probably bad dreams.  When you are living those days (of not sleeping because someone kicked you all night) it is hard to keep in mind that they are precious days and it is bittersweet when you look back on them and miss them.

Layout Share - Truly Believe

Good morning!  Boy has God been blessing us with some amazing weather and beautiful sunrises here in Indiana.  Love it!    I've been working in the studio with the windows open serenaded by the birds and crickets.  Sweet music!

I know, I'm even a little late for the Christmas in July, and no one really wants to stop and think about winter right now.  It will be here soon enough.  It seems like just yesterday the trees were getting their leaves.

This is a layout I did a few years ago, with pictures from 1999.  Some of it was hard material.  Before we were married, let alone divorced.  When my mom was still alive (though right after her biopsy) and still very much herself.  But that is what this business is all about right?  Story-telling and therapy and healing.  It is a simple one, but that is OK.

Papers are Stampin' Up!, I don't remember who the stickers are, sorry.  And the Star BlockZ you can get here as acrylic and here as cardstock and here as digital.  Look for the acrylic and cardstock to be combined soon! 

Thanks so much for checking it out!
