Joshua (3 and 1/6 years old – but who’s counting ;) ) started to climb in and then stopped. He climbed down and said, “Ladies fwirst”. He then proceeded to help his little sister Autumn into the vehicle. Ahhhh, melted this mommy’s heart.

The best part is that I know where Joshua gets his sweet, helpful nature from – the gentleman that always opens my door.

And Andrew (my tiny sweetheart) is wide awake and kicking on my lap. He is giggling at something, which is a new talent. He also has big grins that just started about a week ago. So fun!

I posted my contest layout early on Wednesday. It is one of my favorite layouts. Guess that doesn’t hurt, eh? I had a fun time putting it together – and love the photos that Jim Bob took. Fun all around.

And while I’m on the subject of scrapping, I will include a layout I did of Autumn a little while ago. Her smile makes me smile. This one was for a color challenge at Scrapartist. One of my all-time favorite digital scrapbooking sites. Awesome products – and lots of inspiration and encouragement.
Exuberant

I will do a separate entry about my National Scrapbooking Day (I had a blast!). But I will post a pic here of my first attempt at digital paper. Well, okay, not my first attempt, but the first one I half-way liked. :) I used a tutorial by Rhonna Farrer and it was so straight forward. Love that!

My first paper

I didn’t quite get to the distressing part – will work on that soon! The day was very busy, but it was fun to learn something new too. Okay, more soon. Good night!
