1st Snowfall

This is for Kathryn Mhire's Element Challenge. We had to find a creative way to use buttons. I designed a snowman and used the buttons for him.

This was my son's 1st snowfall at 3 months of age. He thought it was interesting as long as they did not land on his face.

January Quote This

This is for the January 2007 Quote challenge. Lynne, this kit fit the picture so well! Thank you for making such a wonderful kit.

I wanted to experiment with white space. At first it really challenged me but I think it turned out quite well. If you have any suggestions on how to use white space better, please tell me. This was scary terrain.

Allergies

This is a different spin on the Ad-spiration Challenge for January 2007. Theirs was about color and I started thinking about all of the different colors of food that my son eats and how it has changed due to his allergies. Out of the pictures, the only one that does not make me want to cry is the far right because that is the only one that does not have wheat on the plate because we finally knew about his allergies. Allergies are very difficult thing to deal with but it is getting better with each and every day. Right now he is even eating crackers as I type this. That is a huge blessing to me because he finally has crackers that he can eat.

Beach Fun December 2006

It is just wrong that we were on the beach playing in the water the day after Christmas. I loved it though. I know I don't want to live in California but there are times that I just need the warmth of the sand and surf.

Mommy's Christmas Traditions

One of my neighbors in California had a absolutely huge Peanuts Christmas display. Santa would come every year and actually was someone we knew. This year was the 40th anniversary but the house has been sold so it probably was the last year too. We took my son for our goodbye to the display. To be able to take my son there was so emotional for me that I actually cried. He loved exploring the whole display.
