Growing in Unity - Day 2 {You Me Us}



Happy New Year everyone!  Today is the first day of a brand new year!  What are your dreams for this year?

I would imagine that my mum, with her sisters in the photos above, had all sorts of dreams.  And a story to share. Even at their wee age.

This is another page in my incredibly overdue project to scrapbook my mum's old photos.  The stamps I used in this project are from the SMAK Kit - April 2012 and Sweet Summer - KOM June 2012.  This was fun.  Now I really only have about 40 more pages to do and then I'll be done.  I really need to amp up so she sees this before too much longer!

 So, on this first day of the new year, I look at the past.  And dream of the future.

Tell me your dreams!

This is a lovely layout. Reminds me of my sister book I am trying to create. My sister is no longr with me though. So I dream that she somehow can see and know what I am doing and feeling as I create it.

Great LO! I re-did an album for my parents and they absolutely loved it! Try to get names and dates written down now if you can, because later after they start forgetting is too late.

I love seeing treasures like this and your Mom will enjoy looking through all the lovely pages you've created with her old photos! When my mom fell and broke some bones and had to be placed into nursing care, I found a big box of old photos she'd had hidden away, and I worked night and day to document them into a scrapbook which she cherished until the day she passed away. I'd take that scrapbook with me to visit her and it was always brand new and exciting for her to look through the pages and relive her precious memories. Keep at it - your mom will cherish hers too!

Warm Little Sweetness

I must admit that I have become quite fond of making little bitty sweaters.   It all started on a recent trek to India traveling for business. I needed to carry just enough yarn to keep my busy bee hands occupied during the evenings in my hotel room. There are just so many hats a person can make, right?  Anyway, having limited quantities of yarn, I decided to give a small sweater a go.  This is the first one I created. I had just the perfect little buttons to add! (It really is amazing what one might find in their cosmetic bag) I love it.  This sweater is also featured on the Pinque Peacock blog   since I used her buttons.  (Go visit and see the buttons up close) This makes the sweater a really one of a kind project! This next one is perfect for a little preemie.  It's so tiny, but features a great big snowflake! Close up of the snowflake…. I also sewed on one of the StampinUp! Frosted Finishes Embellishments.  I think it finished it off nice

Precious Boy

A quiet, misty morning walk in late March 2012. This little precious boy puts a smile on my face every time I look at him. I mean, really, who wouldn't smile like there's no tomorrow at this little guy?  I love him.  Every. Little. Thing. He almost (ALMOST) competes with my husband. My sweet husband with a similar expression.  What do YOU think?

Pour Vous

I finally took the opportunity to put together a couple little gifts this afternoon while my husband was once again slaving for the man on a Saturday afternoon. This is a little bag that holds a necklace I made for my daughter. For once I can honestly say that this was NOT difficult to create. Here's a close-up. Next up is the photo of the address label. I just LOVE decorating the OUTSIDE too. It just makes opening up the surprise package all that more exciting.
