A favorite thing + Life Art 2007 Wall Calendar.
Tags:One of my favorite things is that my parents like to take photos. If they have been watching Simon while I am at an event I can pretty much count on coming home to a CD full of photos from their time together. So totally cool. The above three are a couple of my favorites from while I was in Japan. My Mom and Dad are so good at capturing the essence of Simon. And they are great at moments. Don't know that I could ever really express my thanks to them.
Catching up on stuff around here today. Simon and I ventured to Target this morning and had fun checking out all the Christmas goodies on the shelves. Picked up a Dora Christmas DVD. Totally put me in the mood to make up some holiday projects...we shall see. For our tree I am thinking gold and red this year - a departure from the silver of the last couple years.
Do you have a calendar for 2007 yet? I have been working on a Life Art 2007 Wall Calendar on and off for the last month or so and I finished it up last night. Click on the "view calendar pages" from the link to see each month's design. Each month features a theme "word" and creative thoughts related to that word, including a prompt for creating a layout. This would make a cool holiday gift for a creative friend. Huge thanks to Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals for use of her digital papers and elements.
Hope everyone has a great Friday!

One of my favorite things too-matter of fact some of those type of photos made it into my ABC's of Color spread. Sad to say I haven't been able to upload it to the gallery properly. Check it out on my blog if you like, it's called "Bliss."
Does the heart good to see our little ones smiling when we're not around, doesn't it? ")

If I had the money to buy a calendar, this is THE ONE that I would buy. I have seen all the calendar kits coming out and they were just not cutting it. You have touched the essence of who I am. Great work!

Just e-mailed my hubby the calendar as a hint for a Christmas gift. Just got the Paper-Source holiday guide and am ready to spread some Christmas cheer. Last year I switched my decorations to all red--loved it!
