Hi all! Sarah here today to introduce myself to all of you. Let's see, where to start? I live in Chicago, IL with my husband Ron and two little girls Frances and Isabel. I have been srapbooking for over ten years now, but when my daughter was born I started doing it more regularly and discovered the whole world of online scrapping and blogs! What a fun adventure it has been!
Frances and Isabel are the subject of most of my layouts and they give me so much material to work with. I love pink, flowers and all things girly. I cannot live without my trusty heart punches! I put a heart on almost every project somewhere. I will also "girl up" pretty much any paper line to use for my two little ladies.
This is my 2 1/2 year old Frances. Don't let the picture fool you! She is my fiesty little one! She loves getting into all kinds of trouble.
And this is my sweet little Isabel. Her picture about sums it up. She is as sweet as they come. She is my little love bug and always wants to be with me. We call her the little Koala because she is always around my waist.
I created this mini album to share with you today. When I first saw this "Garden Girl" mini edgy album I knew it was perfect for the photos of my girls and me on Mother's Day.
I chose the saying "Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful" after one of "those days". Frances wanted a cookie for lunch and I told her no, she had to eat her lunch first. The plate of chicken nuggets, fruit and carrots was thrown all over the floor while she yelled "Mommy I dont want you anymore!" I turned around for a minute and Isabel crawled over to the dogs' water bowl, flipped it over and proceeded to splash around. I still don't know how she crawls that fast! When she tried to start crawling away and her wet knees kept slipping on the floor I couldn't help but laugh. They may not always behave like perfect little angels, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Frances will not take pictures with Isabel so I made a section for each of the girls. Here is Frances's section. I punched holes in one of the noteworthy tags and included it to journal on.
This is Isabel's section. I included another noteworthy tag to put my journaling on for her.
