Since I'm just about packed & ready to go... I decided just ONE more page couldn't hurt. ;-)
Bryn asked for the American Girl Doll paper pad for her birthday, so I bought it for her at Michaels. It has the CUTEST paper in there. I loved this particular piece & asked her if I could use it. The "scene" on there has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on in the photos, but I adore that monkey & I when I read the bottom, this particular night came to mind. The bottom says, "Creativity can happen when you're acting silly. Draw a picture that will make people laugh." So... I added the photos from the parent dance I was involved in. You know... the one where I had to stand on some dad's legs & play the guitar? Yeah... that one. And then I added some silly google eyes to the monkey hanging from the tree & a couple other random things. Basic design + journaling. And in a busy month like this one (with regard to travel AND creating) BASIC is good!
Bryn said, "You made that page fast, Mommy." I know. It's so unlike me...
Your creativity amazes me! Now, get back to packing Missy!!!! LOL
