Mmm, new paper!

So, LAYOUT time.




Playing with some Jenni Bowlin that I've had for a while, good ol' Heidi Swapp and some Hambly rub-ons. And I just realized that the "r" is so off-kilter -- It's actually supposed to be completely straight, and probably the ONLY layout of mine with purposely straight chipboard letters... Figures, huh? [I say this all as I'm rubber-cementing that R back where it belongs, hah!]





These are some detail shots from a layout I did about my grandfather... All Cosmo Cricket here and some Recollections chipboard letters.

Okay... So the other day I spent most of the afternoon playing fetch in the yard [my personal favorite] and producing freckles in the sun, apparently... Anyway, back to the fetch:






Nana stole Gus' ball, so he had to resort to the tennis tug of war toy... Of sorts.


Enough computer for me... Bed!

Old photos!

I don't think I can post without having pictures... A sickness, maybe? Oh yeah, that's my mom up there, when she was about 19. Cute, huh?

I am EXHAUSTED but I know I won't be able to sleep if I try... I've been trying to get my rats nest of a room together so that I can actually enjoy it for the few weeks I have left... Right now I avoid it at all costs. But organizing bins help...:






And this would be Kat when she was a bebe, with Grumpy in the grass. I do love having a scanner.

Mothers Day, oh my!

So last minute mothers day gifts suck. Shopping for my mom in general is pretty terrible, actually, cause she's got what she wants/needs anddddd I feel like I buy her the same stuff over and over again. So I took on a project gift instead... And I just finished. I got to use my Bazzil Bling, Heidi Grace stickers and some random paper I've had for a while... All in all, I only bought the tins which were on sale, 98 cents a piece. =)



They're these cool little magnetic tins for storage -- I figured she could fill them up with brads/ribbon etc. I hope. Or they'll be all over the house filled with random trinkets? Again, I hope. As long as she uses them in some way, I'll be happy.














Okay, when I said only 98 cents a piece for the tins, I wasn't factoring in charms I got for her pandora, but still!

Summer feels GOOD.

After work today I was able to play with layouts using my new and wonderful pictures...





And when I got home I snapped some shots in the yard -- I think I want to do a "Home" book before I leave.



Gus' butt is all curly from being in the pool. =)


However Katie didn't have a bathing suit and therefore had to make due with whatever access she <i>did</i> have to the water.


I think this is my favorite "flower" -- lame?
