Sketch Entry

I sent off this entry to Scrapbook and Cards "Based on a Sketch" contest. I like the way it turned out. It's a bit simple, but sometimes that's the best. Some pages take hours to do, and if I stick with that, then I will never even complete an album. Sketches are great, because you don't have to put as much thought into it. You take a look at the sketch and create something around that. Sometimes, if I have to come up with the layout myself, I will just sit and stare for who knows how long. Sketches get the juices flowing. I love making pages of my baby girl. The sketches make it so easy to produce lots of pictures. You know I have a ton. It's hard not to take pictures of her. She is so adorable. Here is the entry I submitted.

School Days


My baby bird started a new class this week at school. She is now in the Infant II class. This is for crawlers. She made it there before everyone else in her class that is younger than her. She is also already trying to walk at only 8 months. She was moving her way down the couch at seven months. I bought her one of those walkers that you push behind a few weeks ago. She has gotten really good and it, and she is very fast. They started her on regular food in this new class. She has eaten sausage biscuits, a cheeseburger, pizza, chicken, and no telling what else already this week. She has only taken one nap each day too, so she is usually exhausted by the time she gets home. There is a lot more activity in this class for her. I'm sure she loves that since she is already so active. There are kids in there who can walk too. That will help motivate her to do it as well. I can't wait to see what she does next.
