I spy Indy making a card for Mr. Dragoo, her 1st grade teacher using STUFF SHE FOUND at school. They have an "art box" full of assorted stuff and they are free to take from it as they want. She brought home a treasure trove of little stamps and foamies a few days ago and added them to her very own STASH! This girl is going places!

A friend of mine is sweet enough to think of me when she needs unique gifts, and she recently ordered a couple wedding albums. I love making albums - mine are meant to be picked up, turned over, touched and much loved. Kept on a table to make you smile. What I love about them is that each one has its own little personality. This one I made last night. Mixed some yummy Blitzen (Basic Grey) papers and some equally yummy BoBunny papers, a bunch of flowers I punched and stamped and layered like a mad woman, MM rub-ons and some of my favorite Amuse stamps. And out came this little cutie book. I can just picture it with those breathtaking black and white wedding photos! Vertical 6"x9", 12 pages.
Also a shout out to my new friend Lee. She has mad-crazy-beautiful-happy-sassy style! Hi Lee!

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.
