Well they say time flies when you're having fun. ;) It's been a busy and great couple of weeks. I've been off enjoying my life which is always nice. I had a wonderful visit with family while in Georgia. Tomorrow I'm going to a scrapbook crop so I'm sure I'll have some related layouts to share. ;) This is a mini book I made for my grandparent's anniversary which we celebrated while I was there:

♥ We had some "weather" and then I left for work to see this above my home (wow!):

♥ We enjoyed a day at the beach:

♥ I took C + V to disneyland... which was interesting + challenging. ;) Here is a photo of me and miss C:

♥ V turned 3 years old!

♥ I have officially passed the 25 lb. loss mark.. I have lost 27 lbs total.. and 19 of those since we moved here. :D 27 lbs. = 3 gallons of milk and 8 sticks of butter. Disgusting. I'm glad that's gone. Ha!
♥ I finished my 5th book (goal=30/year) of the year so far. Reviews / feedback coming soon.
Just wanted to say Hello, its always such a joy being here and look at your beautiful pictures. Hope you will have a wonderful week!
Greetings from sweden!/nina
