365 days 15, 16 and 17

I've been falling behind a little here...
Day 15 is all about how CRAZY my schedule is! For a sahm with no job, 2 kids under 5 with NO serious lessons... I don't get how I have such a crammed week!


Day 16 Just a really fun layout I did for the SCS Friday night scraps party. The challenge was to use chipboard, metal and Val's template.













Day 17, Just another sweet picture of wee Raifey at the scrap table.

Day 14

I wasn't sure which picture of the cat to use as my POTD - but this one shows how she's 'nested' on my scrap table, which shows how long it's been since I occupied said table... I need to get back in the swing of daily or near daily work. I'm not gettin' much done these days! Here's hoping my next photo will be of a completed page!

Day 13

Day 13 - bits, bits, bits...
My house is filled with bits! Beads, sequins, rocks, fossils, sea shells, coloured glass, ribbons, BONES (!), trinkets, sea glass, jewelry (broken or whole), stickers and miniatures... my house is FILLED with them - and all the associated bit-holders, like this jar filled with 'lucky charms' by my dd.


bits! aaarrrggh!!

day 10

What a little imp - this is Raif waiting for Thomas the Train to start - with that 'you know I love you but will shred something later when you're not looking' expression. sigh. he's my boy!

day 9 - jekyll and hyde kitchen

Friday - it's self-portrait day!
Here's me in my half-ripped apart kitchen. It's only been this way for five years. Hey, I have some CLEAN wiring in my house, let me tell you!!

day 8 Papa Snuggles

"Papa snuggles!" This is the cry that we hear at 3 am! "Paapaaaaaa!!!! I waaaant Papa snuuuugles!!!" I love the fact that he cries out for his father - it's so cool that he has that kind of relationship with him. I hate to think of a child distant from his father, or a father who can't 'snuggle' his son back to sleep. I love that my dh is so devoted and kind a parent that it's HIM in there, night after night. Sigh, though I hope this phase ends soon, 'cause I like snuggles too!

day 7

Well, this is $35 I'll never get back - but if you ask Ani, it was worth it! Her new obsession is mummies and ancient Egypt so this little excavation kit was MAGIC to her. So sweet!
