Latest Creation

For something I didn't enjoy making I sure put on alot of pix. Perhaps because this little project almost got the better of me. But after many hours undoing, washing, scrubbing, recutting...it is done.

I had to finish it for my LSS-- only a month late (oops-sorry), I had to have some extra help on Friday night, because after attempting this acrylic clear album for 3-4Xs, I finally gave up. So Friday, after Tagg's soccer & ice cream I went to the scrap store with a few other ladies who were super encouraging. I got the majority of the work done there, then brought it home to add embellishments and other stuff. I just couldn't get my mind around the fact that whatever I put on the one side you could see on the other side. I love the scalloped edge of the album, but it also meant that I had to keep the papers/photo in the middle of the book; or cut around all those scalloped edges (no thanks! too much work).

I call this my "Musings"-- I added a few little quotes & picts of the kids-- since they are where the majority of my comtemplation and reflection comes from. I am also just finishing a sample album for my sis Robin. She and her huband own the canadian rights to the Photobooth Co.

; one of their options for clients is to have them put together an album filled with photos from the photo booth, and handwritten comments from their guests. So she asked me to design something. Now I am not Talia, but I've kept it pretty basic, using some digi-stuff to fill up the pages. But in surfing the web, I found this most beautiful quote. My new Favorite:

"I will always love her.

She will always know."

you could even switch it for your kids ("I will always love them. They will always know.")

I've been reminded how precious my babies are, even if they've become SASSY. whew... lately I am so frustrated by what little unkind people they have become-- where do they get it all??? Scott & I have been trying hard to curb their words (I hate you, you are a bad mommy) and their hitting, scratching....(Berke has 5nail scratches down her back right now from her big brother, he even drew blood! After it was funny to hear her lecture him "You don't touch my body!"). We feel like we are slowly losing the battle.... I truly hope this is all a stage & soon I'll recognize my little ones again.
