Don't fall off your chair :)

I scrapped!!!  Yup, it actually happened!!  And I enjoyed it ... but just like that the bug is gone again haha.

AND of all things I actually went with a yellow layout!  My least favourite colour, but I do like the layout :)  This is Katie and me on her very first day of school, she doesn't mind challenges and tackled the nerves of going to school without even blinking about it.  She was so keen to get there and see what her classroom looked like.  She loved getting all dressed up in her uniform and she smiled all the way through her day!  She is an absolute 'go-getter' in life and I know that that attitude is going to get her to reach her dreams one day!


Katie was doing some scrapping with me and got lost in her own layout!  She is always so proud of herself when she finishes her layout and i'm still in the process of shuffling papers.  She is a competitor, eveything is a competition here, even eating dinner is always noted by who finishes first.  Didn't she do an incredible job!!!!  She placed the layout next to my bed, standing upright against my bedside light, and when i went to bed that night my heart just absolutely glowed, she loves doing that, leaving me little 'suprises' of drawing and letters and things next to my bed for me to discover.  How much sweeter joys in life can you get than that!!!! :) :) :)


And just something beautiful from Melody Ross.  I'm focused on seeing and being thanful for the miracles in every single day!  Cause you know what, i'm lucky!  I have the most amazing family, the most amazing kids and some of the most incredible friends one could wish for.  Mix that together with the fact that beauty surround me every single day in simple things like nature and weather and colours ... lucky.  I might not have in all together all the time, but together with these people who love me .... together ... I have IT all ... lucky :)  And well ... I'll let the future suprise me with any extra little gifts it might chuck my way, until then .... life is beautiful and perfect in its imperfectness ... just the way it is.  Enjoy the quote, enjoy your week :)

Love both of these gorgeous layouts. Can't say yellow is a fave of mine either but your layout looks gorgeous all the same. Hope you're enjoying life up the Sunshine Coast.
