FriENDS....

Friends is a hard word to spell, so I tell my students to say "friends, fri-to-the-end because you're friends to the end".  This is definitely how I feel about Pokie, we've been friends since high school and WILL be friends to the end:

Thanks for being my friend to the end Pokie!

Family....

I'm really enjoying scrapping some of my childhood photos! 

I tried to get a picture of the original layout that inspired this one, but the internet/computer wouldn't agree, so if you'd like to see it, click here. 

Shoot, realized I forgot the paint rings...might go back and add them, might not!

 

Team Emma....

This is one of those layouts: Andy swears Alex will one day hate me for the photos; I'm not happy with how the journaling looks; I don't love the title stickers; but I love the papers (& the boy in the photos!).

Oh well, I'm leaving it and moving on.  It's about preserving the memories for Alex and this one does that, so on to the next!

Go Fly a Kite...

Here's a super quick layout that I made (it only took me an hour! Ha!):

One thing that we miss from our old house is our awesome neighbors, but thankful for photos to help us remember.
