ok i lied because i have to post these photos

I took my little(st) sisters out for a mini, mini session (for web photos like all the other cool kids) and ohmygoodness if I didn't come away with some beauties. Forget flowers, these two are the best subjects, I swear. And, I'm pretty sure that top photo is my favorite of Sarah. Ever. Hope you like 'em girlies!

I will be away most of the next few days as my mother in law will be in our home visiting. I cannot wait! We don't get to spend time with her often since she's out of state but our time together is always wonderful. I'm looking forward to long talks, laughter, and a relaxing time.

I leave you with some current favorites of mine:
♥ I am going crazy over this photographer!
♥ A great message (and so creatively written).
♥ Fun project idea.
♥ Great childhood reminding diptych.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hap-happ-happy Birthday!

... to my Mom (who verbally pinky promised not to look at my blog until tomorrow when I've given her this gift) (and if you do look, Mom, you're in BIG trouble ;) )! I created this mini book using April's Studio Calico kit - which I love, love, love!! It was such a fun kit to work with and I'm looking forward to scrapping a few pages with it, too!
