A Picture Tells 1000 Words.....


It's been a while since I've scrapped or blogged - I've been living life spending time with the kids enjoying some relaxing time while we can! I'm savoring every moment with my son before he starts the new chapter in his life - one where he's not home anymore. One where he's married and living in a  different state than me. One that I'm not one of the central players in his life anymore. I try not think about it much - it just depresses me so!!

I made this layout for a challenge that someone posted over at Studio Calico - one where we lifted a layout from the person that posted right before us.

I love this photo - it says so much I hardly needed any journaling on this layout!! LOL I used products from my May Studio calico kit (with add-ons). I LOVE the AC thickers that were in the kit this month - I think I need to buy about 10 more packs!! They are perfect and skinny and the font is so fun!! I also used a tiny little tag that I bought from Ormolu this past December (it's folded over and stapled to the top of the tags on the left).

Thanks for stopping by!!
