Nine year old. Wow. Seems like just yesterday that she was a preemie infant sleeping in an open drawer beside my bed. Then seconds later, she was three and we were rushing to get in the car to get to the zoo for her birthday party. Her dad was telling all the kids (we had five at home at the time) to go go go. She put her little foot down, popped her hands on her hips and shook her finger at him saying, "Now you wait a minute!" LOL THAT was the day that my Morgan showed herself! Six years since then and they seem to have floated away like the little bubbles on this simple page.

Peace, Love & Joy

Thought I'd share a few scrapbook pages. We are finally printing some of the billion pics we have from our digital cameras. Yep, that's me and a very rare glimpse of The Unknown Stamper. We were out letterboxing and having a great time. Bob is usually behind the camera but he let Morgan have it for this hike and she snapped this one when we were not expecting it.

Hope all your days are filled with Peace, Love and Joy!

Surf's Up

Spring has arrived and brought with it the surfers! Yes, we do have them year ‘round here, but Spring brings even the spleeny pouring over the sand in hopes of catching a ride. We love to go to the beach and watch. Sometimes we lug our 10 foot board out and the kids have a go at it. I do too, but I’m not telling you when ‘cause I don’t want anyone I know watching me!

We got this set, aptly named “Surf’s Up” at the same time we got the Jeep in the Hit the Road set. Morgan thinks they go together perfectly. She’s been stamping boards to go on top of the Jeeps for days!

This card came about because I was playing around with helping her come up with ideas for a background for her stamps. She didn’t choose to follow my lead, but I kinda liked the mulberry paper and tempting turquoise mixed to make the waves. Of course now that it’s made, I’m imagining a bit of white mulberry peeking over the blue in spots for the breakers. Next time.. yeah that’s it.
