Merry Christmas!
So, I will leave you today with Kennedy's visit to Santa this year! She was sooo ready to see him and not scared at all! But she did get a little stage fright while on his lap! ;) I don't think she ever told him what she wanted - good thing she had written her list before hand to give to him!!

Cardstock is Core'dinations....see how I sanded the brown to let the pink show through along the edges? The Hambly gold rub ons were a blast - I just layered them and put them wherever I felt like!

MUD
Our first challenge was to create a layout using 5 photos! So here is my take on it! I have scrapped a few photos from this day before, but they are so darn silly I had to scrap them again!!! Kennedy and Taylor have become SUCH good friends - I guess starting off their first playdate covered in mud was magical! ;)

Halloween Crafts with Kennedy

I am so glad my daughter has a heart for crafting like I do! ;)
My next project came from the amazingly talented Linda Albrecht! You can check out her "Pumpkin Head" here!
I had fun making this project. In fact, Kennedy helped me some! She picked out the pumpkin head with me nd even painted the inside of the basket black for me! I am constantly inpsired by the fabulous Miss Linda - I am so glad I finally tried one of her projects. I have been in the altering mood for sure now! However, I need to work on my glue gun skills! I went a little wild and overdid some. ;)
Also, I have fun scrappy news to share! I have been asked to join the DT at The Sampler Kit Club! You can see the announcement HERE! Soon I will have some great projects to share from their inagural kit!

Random Moments...
Just recording a memory I don't want to forget!!!! :)
Sept 29, 2009
Kennedy and I are driving down the street listening to Brandon Heath's "Give Me You Eyes," It is a gorgeous day - completely clear, blue skies. Out of the blue, Kennedy points to the sky with a huge smile and says "Sammy's up there!"
"He is?!" I respond.
"Yeah!"
"Is that where Heaven is?" I ask.
"Yea. I'm pointing to the sky!" she laughs, just in case I can't see her finger pointing upward.
"What do you think he is doing?" I ask.
"I don't know. I think he is swimming!!" she happily chirps.
"Oh fun!" I add, with joy so great it almost bursts my heart.
