hi. hey, remember when i said i was gonna do 365 layouts this year?? have you been playing along?? i wanted to point out the counter i have in my side margin------> to the right. its a running total so you can follow along. jennifer gave me the idea :-D thanks jennifer!!! here is a recent fav. i busted out the sewing machine and stitched those ribbons onto the layout. i love the look and yes, im not scared to,,,
a} put a picture of my son on a pink layout {mainly because of his board shorts} and mainly because he is manly enough to rock pink!! ;-D
b} put flowers on the page as well
it doesnt bother me,,, should it??
did you make yourself a similar goal?? how are you doing on it??
~ciao~

i have been cranking out layouts like nobodies business. its so rad!!! this is one that i finished as of late and i love it!!! there was a project that i worked on and it was to scrap about something out of the *norm* for us scrappers. a tattoo,,, or something,,, i cant remember the other suggestions. anyway, i had to go ahead and take this opportunity to scrap *my mother of the year tattoo*!! ha, im sure if you know me, you know exactly what tattoo im speaking of,,,, anyway, here is the layout., loves it!!!! ahhh,,, the silly things we do before we are mamas,,, even though i still have no regrets,,,, :-D
