I've been at it again.....

This past weekend my friend Tammy & her daughter Bees came for a visit, the house was super busy! Kids in & out all weekend.
Sometimes it felt like we were Never going to actually "play" because she was having to cut her trip short. She usually comes on Friday and stays till Tuesday (wahoo! lots of girl time!) But this time she didn't get to come till Saturday and she had to leave today.
I had a few ideas about what pics I wanted to work with & I had seen a few layouts lately that sparked my interst, but there was LOTS to do this weekend.
Finally this morning we were able to sit down at the tables and REALLY play! :o) I realized that I had never done a LO that features Jim.
On my birthday while in Paris (Tennessee not France, lol) I was shooting some pics and discovered beautiful lighting under one of the trees on the courthouse lawn and quickly grabbed the guys and started shooting. I LOVE the way they turned out and decided to do a LO about "my guys".
I ACTUALLY finished a LO in one day! Before 6pm even! LOL! This is a HUGE thing for me, I'm soooooo slow when I "play". I had lots of help though since I "lifted" this LO from dnksmommy. She's one of the blogs I read - over on the right (Ramblings from a slightly demented SAHM's mind) , go on give her a try if you haven't checked her out yet. :o)
She recently added a slide show to her blog that shows her work. I saw this LO & knew I had to try it. Here's a link in case you want to check it out:

and here's what I did with it......







I hope I did her design justice. I know I enjoyed working with it & I love the way mine turned out.
It was definately a first for me. In addition to not having done a LO about Jim before I've never done one with valentine supplies, although I have thought about it, planned for it, & bought for it for YEARS. :o) I decided that the pics I scrapped about "my valentines" didn't actually have to be taken on valentine's day they just had to pics of the ones I love.
Now why didn't I think of that before???? It sure was liberating & I think it made Jim feel good to finally have a page about him. :o)
There's sooo much More to "show & tell" about this past weekend but it's getting late & I'm very tired (we didn't go to bed till almost 5 Sunday morning!) so it'll have to wait till later.
