Great Weather = Outside Fun!!!!

 

We had a beautiful day yesterday, not to hot but hot enough to set up the pool. This was completely my DH idea. I have to admit I was a bit sceptical at first, yes I am ashamed of myself. It turned out to be the best day that we've had since we moved to our new place. My son was so excited and he had so much fun playing with his daddy in the pool.

DADDY-ICHI

This is my DH on his scavenger hunt for his birthday present. I love doing crazy things like this to surprise my husband, it makes me feel like a kid again. His present was a collection of Zatoichi. Zatoichi is a blind swordsmen from Japan who travels by walking from town to town saving the underdog. The stories are just amazing and if you don't mind reading subtitles then I definitely recommend this collection.

Now back to the layout. I haven't added the journaling yet, I am very bad with journaling. I save it for last thinking if I get the layout done the journaling will just happen. As you can see it doesn't happen for me. This is a very simple layout with very few embellishments. I find it very hard to scrap pages of my husband because I don't want the layouts to look to feminine.

Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

 

Laughter

This is a layout that shows our everyday happiness. I truly believe laughter is the best medicine. I hope I can instill this in my son and that he can try to find enjoyment in everything in this world. I hope everyone has a beautiful day. TFL

 

Little Monster!!!

This layout was inspired by this sketch. This is a great sketch with tons of room to do your own thing. I really enjoyed the versatility of this sketch and plan to use it again.

It feels great to be able to get some scrap therapy and relax. I am out of classes for the summer. Finals kicked my butt. I finished with all A's. YEAH!!!! I have to send a shout out to my mom who just graduated from the RN program. She is such an inspiration and the hardest working and strongest person I know. I love you Mom. Thanks for everything.

I hope everyone has a beautiful day and remember to see the magic in the world!

 
 

HAPPY EASTER

I hope everyone has a beautiful day.

What A MONTH!!

If anyone out there has moved in the past few months, I feel your pain. We just moved from an apartment to a beautiful house. It has been tough with school, work and the family, but we got it done. It is a great little place in a wonderful neighborhood and, we finally have a yard. YEAH!!! My DS has had a blast being able to go outside and have a place to run and play of his own. I did not realize how little privacy we had living in an apartment, until now. It feels good to have our own little place to call home. We still have a few things in boxes, but it is coming together nicely. I have definitely been having crafting withdrawals. Soon it will be summer and I will have more time to get things done. My DH and I were able to drive around and check out some of the local shops and I am so excited to say, we are surrounded by antique and thrift stores. I am in heaven!!! Now I have to figure out how to have a free minute at the same time I get a free buck to spend.
