Happy 1st Day of March . . .

It was too perfect a day not to play outside.
Hubby played hooky and we went to Castlewood State Park.
















Just a beautiful day . . .

A very unusual winter in St. Lou . . . another February day with temperatures in the 60's is just crazy but I'll take it!  The crocuses are up and awake in my yard and the trees are starting to bud.

2/19/2012 & 2/20/2012

It's a 2 fer . . . forgot to post yesterday's photo, it's homemade, it's delicious and my amazing DH made it just for me!  Not just fancy coffee, an Irish coffee, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



Today's photo is a layout using Best Creations.  Not my normal style of papers but I needed to make a sample and it's perfect for this 4th Grade pic of Zachary.   Mr. Berra's 4th Grade was all about space, science, rockets and both of my boys were lucky enough to be in his 4th Grade.

This is brand new paper from Best Creations.  Normally when I do destination pages I don't use background papers with images like the Capitol Building above.  I feel like the pictures do the job for me.   I do like how they work with these old b/w '60's era pics because they aren't very good photos to begin with and I don't have very many.  I think the great paper takes the pictures from crappy to pretty good!

I picked up some great papers for Venice & Pisa too!

Valentine's Day

On Valentine's Day, I have a special place in my heart for Chinese food . . .  I met my DH in 1974 and our 1st Date was on 2/14/1974.  That was a long time ago but he is still my favorite Valentine!

Photo of the day, 2-9

I wasn't going to use these photos but found this souvenir drawing from the London trip so I made a similar layout to the one from earlier this week.
