Unlike Your Mama You Embody the Halloween Spirit

Long title. More CHA layouts for The Girls’ Paperie. This is using the new Toil and Trouble line.

The journaling Reads:
Little boy, I am so glad that my dislike for Halloween has not affected you one little bit. You love it anyway and make sure to get into the spirit of it each year. My favorite was in 2008 when I bought you this dinosaur costume and even though you wanted to be batman you fully got into your costume and clawed and roared like a dinosaur. Seeing you makes me appreciate Halloween.

The journaling Reads:
This is one of the biggest reasons I love taking so many pictures of you. I can never tell which one will be a milestone. Here’s a simple looking photo but as it turns out it was one of the last before you lost your tooth. I am so glad I have it. Captured forever. June 2010.

You Are Always Watching Your Brother

More CHA layouts for The Girls’ Paperie.

The journaling Reads:
You are always watching everything your big brother does. Observing, learning, and also laughing. As a younger sister myself, I am very familiar with the sense of awe older siblings bring to our lives. I love watching you watch him. You know what? So does he.

The Best Part of Our Day

More CHA layouts for The Girls’ Paperie.

The journaling Reads:
The very best part of our day is the moment Daddy walks through the door. Both of the kids run to him and jump for a hug. And I am very happy knowing my love and my helper is now at home. It puts a big smile on all of our faces. – May 2010 –

Loving Dressing Up

As promised, here is one of my layouts for CHA. This uses papers and stamps from the Paper Girl and alphabet stickers from On Holiday.

I love love that stamp.

The journaling Reads:
Since we’ve had the boys, I rarely ever get dressed up. But recently we were invited to a birthday party and I got to wear my pretty but comfy black dress. It was nice to get all dressed up and fit into my pre-kids clothes. We need to do this more often I think.

Weekly Layouts – Thumb Sucker

Another layout I did just for myself.

The journaling is about how David never sucked his thumb so watching Nathaniel comfort himself this way is new to me and how tiny his thumb looks in his mouth and how it is helping him and how I am glad he’s found a way to soothe himself.

He Loves Making you Laugh

Since I don’t have a craft project for now. Here’s another one of my Lily Bee layouts I did recently.

I love all the things David does to make Nathaniel laugh. And how much we both love to hear his laughter.

Weekly Layouts – 4PM Blues

This is with the July Kit from A Million Memories. Love this kit!

Every day, right at 4pm or so, Nathaniel starts getting grouchy and whiny and unhappy. It’s how I know we’re getting close to the end of the day. We then eat dinner and start preparing for bedtime.

You Have So Much Beauty Inside and Out

Last Week, while I took a break waiting for the new CHA products from The Girls’ Paperie, I did a few Lily Bee layouts. Here’s one.

Since the papers were so happy, I thought it’d be fun to use Kraft as my background.

I Hope You Always Laugh and Conspire Together

I swear I don’t like sketches. They always stress me out. But for some reason, two months in a row now, the My Mind’s Eye Sketch Challenge immediately inspires me. I look at the sketch and I have ideas right away. Last month it was the punched background and this month, I looked at the sketch and I saw empty circles. Right away! I don’t even scrap circles, I have no idea what’s up with that.

Since I had some My mind’s eye goodies in my A Million Memories July Kit that were sitting right on my table, I decided it was serendipity.

I love this photo of my two kids together cause they look like they are laughing at an inside joke. They look like they are conspiring. And I deeply hope that they continue to be such good good friends forever.

I took the opportunity to finally use that 3-d glue by Helmar, too!

Weekly Layouts – Your Moms’ Group

This is done with the January A Million Memories Kit.

Journaling Reads:
One of my favorite parts of David’s first year was
the Moms’ group that I was a part of and I was worried that we would never get to have this with you because I have to work and we have David.

As it turned out, we got lucky. Our new house is in a complex with a lot of other new moms and we decided it would be fun to meet weekly.

So for the last three weeks, we’ve been meeting and you’ve been playing with a bunch of other little boys your age and I am so thankful that you get to have one little hour a week just for you.

As the years pass, it will be wonderful to see you grow up with all these friends in your neighborhood.
I love you, my boy, and I am glad we get to have this.

Weekly Layouts – You and Me Always and Forever

This was one of the June layouts I did. It is for the Creative Imaginations sketch challenge for June. I turned the sketch sideways and used paper instead of extra photos.

Since Jake and I have almost been together 16 years, I thought it was a great topic to celebrate the man who makes me happy every single moment of every single day.
