a week of photos.

I am just loving this Photo of the Day challenge - it makes me look at my life differently. Focus more on the little details in life. I dont have time to update my blog daily, so here is a whole week's worth of photos.

Trevor loves to paint. Think I could sell this on Ebay? lol

my favorite gift ever

This potholder has been hanging over my kitchen stove since 2001. When Trevor was only a few months old, they made this at his daycare. It was my 1st Mother's Day gift from him and one that I will treasure forever. I love to compare his handprint, now his hand covers the entire potholder :::cry:::

Stickles Freak!

Stickles. They are awesome. And seriously, never thought I would use them since I mostly do "boyish" layouts. But now, everything I do must have a little Stickles on them, or else its not finished! Every scrapbooker must have them. In every color. They are so pretty!!!!

a gift from above.

It was important to my Grandpa that his things get passed onto those he loved.
My Grandpa has been gone for a few years now. This year my Grandma gave the little boys some John Deere banks that were Grandpas. Its something that Trevor will cherish forever.

bringing back memories

This is my lil handsome nephew Brett. The clothes he is wearing and the toy he is playing with bring back LOTS of memories for me. The clothes were once worn & the toy was once played with by my son, who will be 7 shortly. I got to watch him on Tuesday night and it was such a joy! I love his little giggles!!!

Monday, we had to go to Target to get my son some new boots for a couple reasons. And wouldnt ya know....we are upto a size FOUR now! Just a mere 2 months ago I bought a size 3 for him! :eek:

an obsession?

My child likes trains. .......NO, he is obsessed with them.
First the movies...then the toys....now this?
A gingerbread train!? I didnt even know they made these kinds of kits!
Well, he got one for Christmas from his uncle and he was beyond thrilled!!!
So, over the course of the weekend we attempted to put this thing together.
Not too bad, huh?

Its sitting next to our gingerbread house.
Pretty soon we'll have a gingerbread village! ha.

"It's time to let it out."

Did you know this is the "saying" for the Kleenex brand?

Interesting.

Photo of the day for Jan 4th...... I'm sick. blah.

pure luck?

I checked my emailed today and found something out of the ordinary - an email from Layle Koncar from Scenic Route! Unbelievable!!! I had entered a layout for the December Product Challenge and was chosen as one of the winners! Is this pure luck? I keep going back go the Scenic Route website to make sure that my name is REALLY there.

nice & soothing

Hot cheddar potato soup, with ham. Yummy!
It was nice and soothing. My throat has been all scratchy lately, so I figured a nice home cooked meal would help me feel better. It sure has!!!

January 1, 2008 photo

This candle burning sums up my day. We had a small fire in our apartment building today - luckily, it was contained to just the dryer. However, the smell is still lingering around our complex many hours later. This candle burning helps to cover up the smoke smell.

2008: A year in photos

I am going to particpating in a Photography Challenge at ScrapFreak called 2008: A year in photos. I am hoping to learn more about photography during this challenge, as well as documenting the little moments in my life.
