I know we are all going to miss ScrapMommies! I'm so sad to see it go! What a great group of ladies I met there... I hope to stay in touch! :) I'm so excited though, that Amy Bleser has added me to her CT! Yay! I love working with her stuff! As if you couldn't tell that... I actually have done a couple of layouts with her SM kits in the past couple of days before I was added to the team. Not sure if she will add either of these kits to her SSD store or not... credits: Madison has decided that there is a "reeeeally big liiion" living in our oven door. I'm not sure why, but it is so funny! I wish I could put sound on a page so you could hear how she says it... it cracks me up! We have named him Joe, and we go to visit him at least once per day!

I thought she was going to color on paper (natural assumption, right?), but really she wanted to color her nose green! Like Punchinello's! She says "Look Mommy! I have a green nose!" Have you seen this? DigiDares blog It looks really cool! I love inspirations! I haven't done my layout yet, but totally plan to! Ooh, I have done a couple of layouts with Ginger's new kits at SOTB too! credits: I keep scrapping these older photos of Madison! Makes me miss her being a little baby! :) Dreaming In Technicolor kit by Ginger Thibodeau from Scrap Outside the Box flower from Ginger's Shine kit at Scrapbook Elements layered sketch #6 by Ginger Thibodeau font: pea jessi credits: As a 2 year old, Madison's birthday choices were very un-elegant, so I wanted to pretty up her McDonald's page with pretty swirly papers and fonts! A Tad Retro kit by Ginger Thibodeau at Scrap Outside the Box fonts: one fell swoop, jeanna journaling: Since we had already had your birthday party over the weekend, for your actual birthday we let you pick whatever you wanted to do. So we spent the day at the zoo in "Appyallis." You fell asleep on the way home, and when you woke up you wanted "chickens at Donalds." So that is exactly where we went! Of course your dinosaurs had to come too! After that we were off to your favorite retail establishment... Meijer! They have hamsters and lobsters, after all! Then we headed home for a homemade (read: Betty Crocker!) chocolate cake complete with a number 2 candle for you to blow out. It was a great day! I was glad you were able to completely enjoy your birthday with Mommy & Daddy! (and dinos!) K
