Effer Dare No. 68


For the Effer Dare No. 68, "You in the raw" (take a self portrait- with no make-up and your hair not did). I even took my pic on Monday morning, which is my least favorite day if the week. I hate Mondays with a passion reserved for all things bad and evil.

Mission accomplished



Aww, ain't she purty? Carsey picked out her 8th grade graduation dress this afternoon. This girl was a JOY to shop with. We were in, and OUT, of the store in less than 15 minutes. The second dress she saw she loved. Tried it on and this was it. Of course, when you look like this, how could you not look adorable in anything?

So proud of her, and excited at her going to high school and the whole wide world ready for her to experience. I have a layout I did a couple years ago that says "Say yes to life, even though you know it may devour you" and I still feel that way. Want them so much to see and do and LIVE everything they possibly can.

Life: Pick your own

This one is oil pastels. Doing this totally transported me back to elementary school where we had the little student box of Pro-Art oil pastels. Funny enough, but when I went to the one and only craft store in town, that was all they had available. Works for me! (Someday I'll move past fruit...) Thanks to Kal's OP tiplet.

Also made another little album for a friend's baby shower (she knows it is a boy). A fold-out page for each month's photo (up to 1 year) and lots of space inside the fold-outs for journaling. Again, used Lain's basic formula, although this one is a bit larger to hold 4x6 pics.
