Dog Days of August

It is hard to believe it is August! The Dog Days of Summer..Sometimes you need to stop and tale a little snooze to catch up on all of the outdoor fun.

Must be all that time at Camp, the Beach, & all the Swimming in the pool...

It is also a good time for Mommy to catch up on a few projects like these 4th of July Layouts:

And a couple from my Studio Calico July Kit, "Elmwood Park".  Love all the fun patterns & colors from this Summery Fresh Kit!!

I hope to get some more Summer Layouts done this week so we'll see how that goes..
Wishing you all a Wonderful Week!  Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Summer Days

It has been over a month since I posted, just because it seems like Summer Days lead to being busy outdoors which is not a bad thing at all.  So many pictures are taken but it takes a little longer for me to post because the days are so much better being outside in the Sunshine and Fresh Air.  Needless to say the girls have been busy playing outside:

taking care of the Flowers:

Eating Ice Cream & Popsicles:

Swimming in the Pool:

Celebrating the 4th of July:

I have also completed a few Studio Calico layouts that I wanted to share:

Birthday Celebrations..

My little peanut turned 3 last month! Hard to believe this little doll on weighed 4 lbs. 14 oz. when she was born, full-term and all. She is a joy and I love to see her turn into a little girl with lots of personality. She loves to help Mommy, loves cleaning & organizing, loves singing, watches everything, and has a fabulous sense of style! What a Doll!
Happy Birthday!

Speaking of Birthdays, I finally finished scrapping the pictures from Isabel's Spa Party.  I don't know why it always takes me so long to scrap events rather than day to day life layouts. Here are some of the pages:

So much fun! Lots of Pink, Glitter, & Bling..My favorites!

I also love scrapping me and my husband's photos from when we were little and comparing them to the girls.  I have a whole album dedicated to just those types of layouts and I must say, it is one of my all-time favorites to look at.  Every once and a while I get the urge to add some pages, even if the photos of the girls are from way back when.  Here is three I did, using up some older Sassafras stuff that I love:

Mommy at the top C. 1975, Bailey on Bottom C. 2005 -2 little Baldies!

Thanks for Reading! Enjoy your Wednesday!

Vacation Time

 

Why is it when you get back from a vacation you realize that you wish you were still there? It seems like you never fully appreciate it until you are back in the swing of things of your routines at home then oh.....to be back on the beach relaxing.....

Steven and I had a great time in South Beach, Miami to celebrate his birthday and for a much needed getaway. We stayed at the Delano which was super-chic and modern.
