Too Much Sunscreen14 viewsMy daughter took these pics of my husband while we visited California this summer. She wanted to document how her dad/my husband uses too much sunscreen (as evidenced by the SMEAR of lotion on his phone).
I used a sketch from Sketch n Scrap and a TSR kit.Aug 21, 2021

Welcome Home16 viewsThis page is about my mom and her home - she had lots of water damage when her pipes burst during this February's Texas ice storm.
Mom JUST moved back in to her house in June (3+ months for renovations!). The house required lots of new stuff - flooring, paint, cabinets, etc. Even now, there are still some finishing touches and insurance issues to resolve, BUT last week, for mom's bday, we were able to celebrate her and her "new" home.
The design is from a Rochelle Spears sketch and I used lots of Pinkfresh.Jul 25, 2021

L.A. Eats15 viewsThis page is about the wonderful meals we ate while on a family trip to Los Angeles. My nephew went to UCLA, so he had lots of food recommendations, and then our hotel was in a good spot for coffee shops. Each tag has details about our meals - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - SO many good eats!
*Note: the steak in the photo was too rare for my taste, but most of my family loved it.

The design is based on a SNS sketch that Deanna posted on ACOT.
Thanks!Jul 21, 2021

La La Land12 viewsThis is about our recent trip to Los Angeles - to visit my son, who has a summer internship there, and to celebrate my nephew's graduation from UCLA, plus his army commissioning. My sisters and their familes went too, so it was a great time!
I lifted a layout from the Scrap Our Stash blog.

Celebrate10 viewsThis page documents my daughter's 19th birthday. I used one of the May 2021 highlighted Laura Rumble sketches, plus a lot of Elle's Studio products that were in my stash.May 16, 2021

Lucy-Approved19 viewsWe just got new flooring, and this page is about how my dog "approved" of the new rugs we just got, so much so that she'd plop down on the rugs as we were trying to position them. At least we know she was comfortable!

Thanks,

Taking Our Shots20 viewsFor May 1 2021 sketch - a page about my family's getting their COVID shots. I used a lot of Pinkfresh for one of their NSD challenges.May 04, 2021

Spring Cleaning11 viewsThe page is about how my husband and I bathed our dog Lucy outside. Usually, I bathe her inside a tub because she hates the water and would love to bolt. She was pretty darn good this time, though!
I used a Sketches in Thyme sketch.Apr 30, 2021

Who's Taller?13 viewsI wanted to document this photo of my husband and 13yo nephew comparing their heights. My husband blames it on our nephew's cowlick - ha! I used the 3/22 sketch posted by Jan and included "confetti" - paint splatters and star stamps, star chipboard. The papers are from various 6x6 pads.
Thanks,

Stronger20 viewsI used tore paper strips from an older Paige Evans line (actually scraplifted a page she posted on FB) for the background. This page talks about my mom, and how strong she's had to be this past year. Today, she got her 2nd COVID vaccine shot, so I HAD to do a page about her!:-) Mar 30, 2021

Thrill Ride12 viewsMy kids LOVE rollercoasters! This documents our trip to Six Flags Fiesta Texas last weekend - so they could get their coaster fix in. The pics here are of the Superman coaster, their favorite. I used a Scrap Our Stash sketch.Mar 29, 2021

2020 Grads20 viewsWe had 5 high school seniors last spring - my daughter, and 4 of her cousins (2 on my side, 2 on my husband's). I realized that I hadn't done a page about them yet, so here's one to document their rough end to their senior year, and hopes for their futures.

XOXO - Selfies with Lucy23 viewsThis is a collection of selfies with our family dog, Lucy. She tolerates all the pictures we take of her, and we even get wet kisses when we take too long. She's the sweetest. <3
