Smile

Although my nice long weekend has come to an end I am still smiling. I got a lot accomplished and I was actually able to give my brain a rest. It has seriously been on overload for weeks now and it was nice to just get off the computer and not stamp a single thing all weekend long.

My family appreciated me sitting on the deck, reading magazines and just being present. Then it hit me....I am working so much that I am not present I am just here. Not good. Things are about to change bright and early tomorrow morning.

Anyway, I have been scrapbooking a lot lately and that has just totally got my juices flowing. I literally dreamed a sketch last night and woke up thinking about it and wrote it down...color combo and all. Guess what....I do dream in color....SU colors.

Here is a super quick 8x8 layout of Maddie that I made last week and I will eventually turn it into a larger layout and add some journaling too....after CHA...shhhhh....it's a sneak peek {the oval smile sentiment}. I love this face and her sweet and innocent smile. Little do you know that this girl is one little "firecracker" and is constantly on the go. Yes, this is the one that just had two fractured wrists....if that tells you anything. So to catch her laying on the trampoline with this sweet face was definately worth snapping a pic.

Ok the clock just struck twelve and I am up one hour and thirty minutes past the time that I promised myself I would go to bed and I still have my last load of laundry to fold. Yes, laundry is still my real life.

See ya on the blog!
