Summer break usually means sleeping in and lazy starts to the day around here. We all slept in until 8:30 yesterday morning and that is unheard of around here. Our kids have always been early risers. Nick doesn't always get up right away, but he actually wakes up pretty early.
I felt so tired and sluggish all day, I couldn't believe it! So today I got out of bed the first time I woke up instead of trying to squeeze out every last minute of sleep. We'll see how the day goes :) I'm kind of hoping it will allow me to have some early morning scrapping time before Ashley wakes up.
Tony finished replacing the well pump last night, so we have water back in the house! Thank goodness for handy husbands! Twenty-four hours without water was long enough.
I finished another layout yesterday to share. In the May Studio Calico kit I got three of the new October Afternoon Cherry Hill Wild cards. One of mine had a little doggy on it and I knew instantly I wanted to use it on a page about Logan and his doggy. I was looking through pictures and came across a picture of Logan from March of 2007 holding his beloved doggy. It's actually a professional picture from JC Penney's, and it's one of the few studio-type pictures I really love because it really shows his personality and how he always carries doggy around.
Looking at this picture fascinates me for two reasons:
1. He's the same age in this picture as Ashley is right now, so it's fun to compare them and remember what he was like at this stage.
2. I can't believe how clean and plump his doggy is! His doggy right now is about half as full, has had a few stitches and isn't even close to the same color! A true testament to how much he loves him!
This one is definitely ranking as one of my favorite pages right now! I used products from the last four Studio Calico kits. The grey-dot October Afternoon paper, the yellow thickers and the MM flowers are the only things not from a kit.
And now Miss Ashley is awake so it's time to start our day!
Love that page, Rita! :) What a precious, precious picture to have and scrap. My little man has a "lovie" that is a duckie blanket. Too too cute...
I hope that you were able to have a wonderful day....maybe even some creative time.
Glad to see you back!!
