The Making of...

Journaling:

It's so fun to see the cousins work together on these movie projects.  Kelsi is a great writer/director.  Afton, Kaylinne and Brook are willing and talented actresses and even the little kids do a great job despite, bit words, hot weather or tough working conditions.  The making of GREAT MEMORIES!

The making of A Pirate's Life!

Nothing

Journaling:

Human nature is so funny and so dramatic.

It cracks mu up that when we have a small inconvience we dramatize and say, "Oh, there's nothing worse than..."  when in reality, there are LOTS of things that are worse.  Of course I have to marvel also when, we as humans, revel in a simple joy and then say, "Oh wow! There's nothing better than..." and for the moment there IS nothing better.  I love being human.

Here are some of my nothings...

Better than:

Good music while I'm cleaning

Costco frozen yogurt

Wearing super cute shoes

The smell of fresh baked bread

Waking up in the night and realizing you still have 3 hours to sleep

Worse than:

Cigarette smoke blown in your face

A cold toilet seat

Forgetting your cell phone in the charger

Having to unload the dishwasher to load it again

Food stuck in between your teeth with no toothpick or floss handy

Stubbing your toe while making your bed

Traveling when you have the flu

Afton Style

No journaling necessary on this layout.  I like the bright colors, it fits Afton's personality.  I also liked what I was able to do with the photo.  It was an old "film" photo so I couldn't do any computer editing.  It was a very cluttered photo with people in the background and a head in the front.  I was able to cut the top and put a flower on the bottom.  Now you would never know it started out to be a pretty lousy photo.

I Love Your Guts

Ooooo, I like the way this one turned out. Paint is one of my favorite things to put on a layout, just for that extra touch!

Journaling:

How could I do without this guy? My life would be dull and boring without having his guts to love!
