Proud mommy here... haha

I have to say, I am a proud mommy. My son takes after me a lot. He's funny, cool, independent and creatively talented. And he's only four. Last week, we were in my craft room when he asked me if he could make a page. Heck yes, I said! So I gave him a white piece of cardstock, some random stickers and a picture of him with his best friend Parker. And this my friends, is his very first layout!

Celebrate

It's hard to believe that my baby sister will be heading off to College Park in just a few weeks. Oh, how time flies. It seems like yesterday when I was feeding her, changing her diapers and holding her like she was my baby... I love this girl to death and I am so happy for her. She has made me proud and I am proud to call her my sister... Katie, if you're reading this, YOU SIMPLY ROCK! I hope you have a blast in college. Fun times are coming your way! I know you will do great.

Out here with you

Happy hump day! Today I have a fun layout using lots of yummy papers and embellishments from Crate Paper's "The open road" collection. Ah, I totally love how this one turned out. I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out what I was going to do with the top. I decided on a triangle with a border strip made from washi tape and a fun stitched star! Sometimes, walking away and coming back to a layout a day later works wonders!

Fun times

Yesterday we had a blast on the boat. We took it out for a little bit to watch the fireworks on the water. They were literally over our heads at one point. I was able to get some incredible shots! All I did was keep my figure pressed on the shutter as the fireworks were going off. I had several shots that I deleted, but wow! Take a lookie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I spy a hummingbird...

Earlier today, Edward came to me and said, "hey mommy, Come see something. I have something to show you. Bring your camera to take a picture!"

We went outside towards the garden and I immediately saw what he wanted to show me. I seriously cannot believe that I captured this shot!!
