Just had to share

I put this together last night and just had to share.

 

I think its one of my current faves.

I tossed up whether to use those photos on this LO for a while. They look very 'boyish' with Sarah in her rugby top. But I just adore them. And figure they can be part of a very pretty girly LO.

 

 

Can you see that beautiful leaf ribbon? I got it from Stamp and Create in Milford. I met Judy, the owner and she showed me this. Had to buy it even though I was only going for white cardstock and dimensional magic. LOL!

Unfortunately you can't see the beautiful tulle very well that is following the round curve of the paper. Its one of those LO's that looks better IRL. But hey. That's life.

Talking of life. I made one of those 'bad mother' mistakes this morning. I forgot it was Daffodil day at school. Every other child in the class was buying and wearing a daffodil. And I had left my wallet in the car. Argh! Sigh. So After scrounging around and finding most other Mum's also left their wallets behind (see I'm not that bad! LOL), one Dad very kindly lent me $1 and the girls selling them very kindly let me take 2 for $1.

Now I KNOW that I shouldn't pander to every little whim and fancy the kids have. And I don't. But when every . single . other . child in the class has a beautiful yellow flower pinned to their chest...... you get the story!

And washing. I have decided that I really don't like washing. Not the actual job of washing. That's relatively easy, but the fact that it never ends. Ever. I left the washing for a couple of days cause I wanted to put it out on the line. Then when it started raining again yesterday morning, decided that I really needed to get it all done and did 4 loads of towels and sheets, and 3 of clothes. My goodness. The machines were going all day. And now, guess what? I've got a heap of folding to do. LOL!

And its raining again this morning, so the rest of it (yep, I told you there was alot!) can be done today.

Wish me luck.

Later.

I have a Mt Washmore of folding to do at home...

Gorgeous layout, the ripped curve is really unique and I like the B&W "boyish" photos with the flowers :-)

Ah yes, laundry ... thankfully I don't mind it that much (I'd rather do that than wash dishes!!!) but it's still a job that never ends. I'm glad my kids are now old enough to help out with the folding & putting away :-)

OMG Trina that is such a gorgeous LO - I already have it copied for a bit of scraplifting!
Understand what you are saying about the washing - although for me it is the endless, thankless cooking day in/day out that is starting to do mu head in - and I LOVE cooking!! well, sometimes. I think it is forever having to think of different things to make??????
