WSC 17: Friend
August 31st, 2007
I’m going to get out the owner’s manual on my camera. I have been having a rough time with the pictures. I get where I want to be, click and the camera won’t take the picture. Seems like I am too close (or something). I promise the glitter doesn’t look as tacky IRL! LOL!
So ~ here is my take on Beate’s Sketch this morning. I love the circle off the side. It’s a perfect accent for a 4.25″ square card. I could chop the edges of the flower of, but it will still fit in a regular card envelope this way…I think I’ll leave it! Lots of errands and such ~ so I’ll let you keep blog hoppin’! While you are at it, check out Charmaine, Sharon and Jenn. See what they thought of Beate’s Sketch today! Thanks for stopping by!

your smile, your laugh, your kisses
August 20th, 2007
Here is my baby, and I am vulnerable today. She has made that leap from the confines of our happy home where we can protect, nurture and guide her every move. Today, she went to kindergarten.
I was fine as this morning approached. Clothes were laid out, backpacks packed, lunch menu discussed and approved. I had plans to breakfast and celebrate the beginning of Mom’s Winter Vacation with friends to preoccupy my mind. But, in that moment when I knelt in the classroom to take a picture of my baby girl with her teacher, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in this same spot, same chalk board, same teacher, same grin exactly 2 years ago, and at that moment it was like yesterday. So fleeting…
Courtenay will only have one photo to mark the start of her school career, and it isn’t because she’s the second-child…it’s because at that moment, I thought my heart would heave out of my chest, and I didn’t want her joy diminished by a sobbing mother.
She embraced the day with the same smile and laugh that she has always been known for…this page was done a while back, but today more than ever, may she always know that I … {heart} your smile, {heart} your laugh, {heart} your kisses…..{heart} you, baby girl!

Beate’s Sketch: Near & Far
August 17th, 2007
It’s Friday! And, you blog hoppers know what that means….Beate’s Sketch Challenge! You can see it by clicking the link, and I know Beate wants you to play along. Her original sketch is for a square card, but I went the more traditional route to give you a different take.
