Here's another one...a reeeeally old one. I created it when I decided to enter the first CK Scrapbooker of the Year contest. I didn't ever hear back from CK, but I ended up with a bunch of layouts I really loved. So that was a good thing! The scan on this one doesn't look so great, but just FYI, this LO has a torn edge and the large V is distressed with a crackle stamp, chalk, and all sorts of ink. It looks really cool IRL!
Looking at these old layouts of DS makes me smile, because (after his colic was over!) he was such a sweet baby. He is such a great kid -- very special. Of course, every mom thinks that!
However, I wasn't so pleased with him this week. This sweet little boy, six years old, snuck a pair of safety scissors down to his room and cut holes in his bedsheets. Holes! While they were on his bed! I asked him why he did it and he opened his pretty blue eyes and batted his eyelashes at me and told me he forgot why. The whole "let's charm mom" thing didn't work, so now he's saving up allowance to buy himself new sheets. That didn't go over so well.
"But Moooooooom! Allowance is for LEGO and NOT for sheets!"
Yeah, well, suck it up and keep your scissors on the paper next time, little buddy.
I just don't understand him at all!

I love, love, love your "Vulnerable" layout! And the saying underneath!
I feel a "deja vu" when I read about your scissors story. My boy is only four but it's something I could easily see him doing. Yikes!
Very much enjoy your blog, Amanda. (I really like the stars in the background. Pretty cool.)
ROFL! Hope he has a good allowance so he can get some sheets AND some lego! ;)
LOL - ah motherhood. Thanks for sharing that story about the scissors. Love the layouts - and Amanda - your journalling is so wonderful. Wish I could better communicate some of my thoughts on my pages but journalling is not my forte.
Scan and post those old pages!
Thanks ladies! I very much appreciate the comments you leave on my blog. It makes me feel like I'm doing something (sort of) valuable. LOL
Are you kidding? What could be more valuable then passing on a legacy to our great grandchildren! :) Essential, I say, this scrapbooking work of ours in essential!
