Found : I Love My Home

Simonart103_web

I found this sweet drawing in Simon's backpack today. A great reminder of all that we have to be thankful for in our lives. Can you tell which one is me? 

Around here summer is currently speeding up our schedules rather than slowing them down. Preparations are in full-swing for a bunch of different family adventures.

I'm also in the middle of putting together the Stories of Summer posts which will begin next Monday and run through July 6th. I'm really excited about the mix of content, including a bunch of new faces & names you might not have seen before.

I had a really nice time at Technique Tuesday's BLISS event this past weekend. My Storyology class was well-received and I hope to take some time in the coming months to get it ready in a PDF/video presentation format and make it available as a downloadable class. I was reminded once again how amazing this hobby is in the way that it brings people together.


Summer

And these two, well, they're ready for nicer weather and anything happening outside.

    Hi Ali-
    It was great meeting and talking with you at BLISS! Your Storyology class really made me think about the way I scrapbook. I've always been the one to buy the latest and the greatest...but have realized that its the story and the photos that makes more of a difference. I will definately work on telling my own story like we talked about ;) Thanks for coming and hanging out with us!

    There is nothing better than a child's art and their sweet, first attempts at handwriting. Love this! Sweetie pie Simon... nice art!

    Loving Simon's drawing. It is sweet how Anna is in your 'arms' and he put your glasses on. A mama needs to see. Very nice.
