winter is here

Lately it has been raining and cold here. Only getting up to 48 degrees. Some might laugh, but for Texas that is cold! hah I do prefer this over snow even though I sometimes wish snow would magically appear on Christmas and then disappear afterwards. After living in a place that had snow it was fun to open gifts, eat a Christmas dinner, and play in the snow. Kaylee really misses it.

thankful

Happy Thanksgiving. 

I am thankful for my two daughters and my wonderful boyfriend who would do anything for us. <3

when i grow up...

I made this layout using Shimelle's sketch of the week. I'm glad she used the frame paper in a different way. I've had this forever and never used it since I had no clue how to work with the flowers around the edges. For the pink strips I simply used the backside of what I cut. The challenge was to make a Christmas layout, but I didn't have any Christmas paper (or something that could go along with it) that had a frame around it!

When Kaylee grows up she wants to own lambs, live on a farm, marry a farmer, and be a vet. She has talked about this for almost a year now. This is one of the reasons why I love to scrapbook...I forget what I wanted to be at her age, but now I won't forget by the time she is my age and asks me about it. 

grateful

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so I thought I would make a layout about being grateful for my two daughters. I love the way this one turned out. I cut out patterned paper for the leaves and used a white gel pen to make the leaf veins.
