I made this layout for my niece. She is 8 and they've just adopted two kittens. One orange and one black! Very cute they are. I hope she'll love this. I've asked her mom to pick her up a frame for it. The photo will slide under the words. I think I might add some flowers...I'm so use to doing boy layouts I forget I can get girly!!

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

..::FuNnY fArM::..

Here is the layout all finished up!! I am so pleased with it!!!!! I might attempt page 2...not sure tho! This was a lot of work! The little paper pieced mouse is so small! BUT the hardest piece was...the pig!! Yes the pig! I could NOT get it to look right! The picture is horrid...will take a new one tomorrow!!

Have a GREAT rest of the week!!!

..::Trying to get back to "normal"::..

It's been a rough week + but I'm fighting way back into the everyday life. I have never in my life felt so horribly bad about a situation where I knew no one involved. I wish I wasn't so "overly sensitive" ...If only I had a penny for every time someone called me that...My heart is just broken for these babies...I know God has a plan...I just can't see what that is just yet...

At any rate, I'm working on some new paper piecings. I seen the cutest layout on ebay by craftyemg and just have to scraplift the concept! I can't imagine who would pay so much for a layout but this woman is the champion of selling them high...hundreds of dollars high even! Check out some of her work on her ebay profile.

So here is what I have done so far...I think the cow is the cutest little thing ever! It's all cut with SCAL...can you believe the cows collar is a moon?!

Hope you all are having a great week and please please please don't miss the chance to say I love you...

..::More Doom and Gloom!::..

I am going to once again ask you all to pray. This time for 3 little children and their families. A neighbor - basically in my backyard- had twin boys 3 months ago. I would watch her pack them to the car and back and think she has it rough. I even at one time said to Brent "can you imagine having two Tobias'?" She also has 2 little girls. Older but still little.

Very early Saturday morning one of the babies died. She's been charged with Reckless Homicide. The story the news tells just doesn't add up and I'm trying not to pass any judgments. I did not "know" them. Whatever the case may be - one little boy will grow up without his twin brother and 3 children will have to say goodbye to a baby brother. 3 children will grieve the loss of a brother - without their mother. NEVER should this happen. This has been so hard on me as a mom to look out my kitchen window and know a baby died in "that house" what could I of done differently? How could I of helped her to help her babies?

Please say a prayer for these babies and once again - hug the ones you love a little tighter, and make sure they KNOW you love them - tomorrow is not promised.

..::a little hiatus::..

I haven't been around much lately and probably won't be much for another week-ish. It's been a stressful week and only two more weeks and things should calm down. With all the change- Trever is having a hard time, The dear lady who bub volunteers with and we all love so very much - her son died - on Mothers Day. I can't think of anything worse and my heart breaks so very much for her. She is the sweetest woman I have ever known and I pray every day for her to keep strong. Please say a prayer for her. I'm trying hard to get in scrap mode but it's just not in me at the moment.

I hope you all are having a fantabulous week/weekend and hug the ones you love a little tighter...you just never know when it might be the last ever hug...

I wanted to try a new style and I really like the way this turned out. I still need to do a little sewing on it. All the flowers and the butterfly were cut from off white card stock and I used Tim Holtz distress ink to color them. I love the way it worked out on the butterfly! I'm amazed also at how much Tobias Zadoc looks like Tyler in this picture. Tyler was probably 5 months old in this photo.


Hope you all are having a fantabulous week and I will visit blogs sometime today I hope!

I played with these pictures in Paint shop and loved the way they turned out. The layout wasn't what I had planned but meh, its good enough!
