Posting from work (ssshhhhhh!) so only have time to leave you with this.
OMG!

Just a silly pic of Indy that needed to be scrapped. You can see the whole thing here. These little moments really are the MOST important! Hold them close!

This is a direct copy from Ali Edwards, but it was so moving, so profound to me, that I had to share it:
Anna Quindlen : "...but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three on them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4, and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."
See? How quiet is this message that should be shouted from the rooftops? Too quiet, if you ask me. Spread the word: "...treasure the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less." I know I am.

No really, I DO! Not what you think, but so much better. The 1st of each month is the BIG REVEAL at scrapsahoy.com for the monthly destination. This month we're going to Ireland! We had Daisy D's and Sassafrass Lass as our oh-so-generous sponsors, and they were great to work with! Love this little tease of what I've been working on! Also this season, we're having a great Holidays Around the World showcase, so be on the look out for it, beginning Dec. 15. So much inspiration and of course we'd always love you to join our community - registration is free!
And more teasing: I have a cool announcement coming in less than 2 weeks! That's all I can spill for now, but there are some really sly hints to be found here if you've ever noticed my "style." [ t ]
I'm not too late for Studio Friday, it's only 11:36 pm PST! I took Carsey for an impromptu "mommy-daughter" date and we went and saw "Dreamer". Sweet movie. Horses are so beautiful. Dakota Fanning is such a great little actress. We had the whole theater to ourselves (late show, which was a treat in itself for Carsey to get to stay up so late.) Last weeks topic was "Round" which I missed, and this week's is "Sweetness." Since my date tonight with Carsey was so sweet, and I just happened to be working on round Christmas ornaments last night (featuring Carsey's smiling, happy, sweet, face) it was a perfect fit for both last week and this. Two birds with one stone, eh? Now, I've cropped it tight because this is "supposed" to be a secret, like Christmas, not to be shared until December. Don't say you saw 'em here

edit: but you CAN see them here.
