Beauty - Day 12

Today I saw beauty in my two kitties, Sherman and Patches. Growing up I was always a dog person. We always had a dog. I knew that when I had a place of my own I would have a dog. Well, along came my husband and youngest son. LOL. They are cat people. Cory had cats and a dog when he was growing up. So, he always planned to have the same. I am not really sure where Ian's fascination came with cats. He was given a stuffed kitty, whom he named Spud (after his sitter Deb's cat), for Christmas when he was one. Since then, Ian has amassed quite the stuffed kitty collection along with our two real kitties, Sherman and Patches. Even now, as I type, they wait for me to go to bed. When I am on the computer, they tend to jump up to get petted while I am trying to type. I never knew how these two creatures could come to be such an integral part of our family now.

Beauty - Day 4

Today I was able to spend the day scrapbooking. I don't remember the last time that I have been able to work this much or have gotten this many pages done. I will need to use my Cricut to cut a few titles, but the pages are all journaled and done otherwise. I was able to update Alex's school album (I hadn't done anything in that album since he was in 2nd grade. He's in 6th grade now). I also updated Ian's kitty album (a small 7x7 album with pictures of all his stuffed kitties. He loves this album and shows it to anyone who comes over). I was also able to update by SS friends album using some of my most favorite paper from Basic Grey. The BEAUTY of the paper makes it my favorite. The colors are so bright and vibrant. I just love using this paper.

Here's one of the may layouts I did today using this paper
