Aren't these papers luscious? Every time I see this cranberry paper, it makes me think of Strawberry Daiquiries. :)

Seeing Autumn

Here is my layout using the Bountiful Blessings kit from CottageArts. Isn't that a beautiful background paper? Aren't those colors luscious? It was perfect for my photos, too.

This summer has been a bit trying. The boys seem to be bickering more than normal and pushing the boundaries just to see what I will do. So when we took a trip to our local museum, and they were able to dig for dinosaur bones without the normal fussing and fighting,I was happy!

This is the kid's first trip to the beach!

Nothing Can Ever Take Away The Love

This page is very special to me. It depicts my daughter placing wildflowers upon her brother's grave. Adam would have been 9 years old this past April.

I am trying to teach my children that they should honor the memories of those that have gone before them. Gone but not forgotten is my mantra.

Nothing can ever take awaythe LOVE a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger EVERY DAYRemembrance keeps them near. Unknown Author xoxo, Kaylie.
