Jadan is silly. Norman was burning some pictures to CD for me when Jadan discovered that the labels from the CD's actually had left over stickers. He went to town, peeling and sticking them. As I was walking out the door to my best friend's sister's baby shower, I snapped his picture. Later I discovered that we were challenged to use a book cover as inspiration for a layout. I of course remembered that we got books at the book fair the other night, and so I told Breanna to run downstairs and get me her book. I had the perfect layout in my head (Breanna's Grumpy Layout is below). Jadan couldn't be outdone so he ran downstairs and got his book. He bugged me and bugged me until I used his book as well - "Dora Saves the Mermaids". This is what I ended up with.
This is our Christmas tree this year. Norm and the kids put it up as I was making Thanksgiving dinner. It keeps them out from under my feet, and they all four decorated it. We have several ornaments clustered together of the same color, but it's beautiful just the way it is.
Christmas Traditions: Stocking hanging
There is an ornament that hangs with our stocking on their shelf. This is an ornament that was sent to me by a friend. This ornament is made of metal and is a rustic heart, with many jewels on it. It is hung in the middle of our stockings to represent the little jewels I have in my heart for the little one's that went on Angel's wings to heaven all to early. Today is the anniversary of my second loss, and it allows me to share with my children, family, and friends the memories of happiness, and saddness of loss regarding siblings that should be with us today, but only were in our hearts briefly.
This is the layout I had in my head when we first had the children's book challenge. Breanna sometimes has the tendency to sleepwalk. This is one day when she was taking a nap, she wandered into my room and fell back asleep on my bed. I thought she had waken up but apparently she was still asleep, because she doesn't remember me snapping the picture.
This is a layout, "Deck the Dog in Boughs of Holly", I did for a friends of mine using her freebie scrap materials (polkadottedplum.blogspot.com). They tend to feature my layouts on thier site. Thanks Lauren and Amy. This little guy was my Christmas present last year from Norm and the kids, my little buddy Harley.
Jadan Decorating the Christmas tree on Thanksgiving Day. I have several more pictures and will be adding layouts as I get the chance to scrap them.
