Everyday's a holiday...

As you can see, Amber and I again took a totally different tack on this page. Her page, featuring her son, is bright and sunshiny just like his cheery personality. The page is about his love of the "Jolly Holiday" song from Mary Poppins, which I started singing to him one day to try to keep him calm. Who knew it would be a hit?!! :) It is a simple layout to be sure, but the bright colors and trademark glitter usage make it sparkle and shine.

After finding a set of cds my cousins had made for the family for Christmas a few years ago, I decided to see if some of the files were available as jpegs so I could use them to scrapbook. I was surprised to find a wealth of photos at my fingertips, and after a lot of happy tears through reminiscing, I decided to make a page featuring my grandfather, who died ten years ago this past January. I think about him quite a lot, and I had been wanting to create a page to honor his memory for some time. I just never knew that I had so many pictures available to do so! The quote I used for the title is "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." More often than not, when I think of him these days it is with a smile on my face and a warm feeling in my heart, grateful for the time I had him in my life.
