better than Christmas

You may have seen my gush on Facebook about my newest purchase.  I got to play with it a bit this morning.  Love it!

album for rose

I had a spare album hanging around that I was going to use as a sample but after I changed the album sizes that I offer I didn’t have any need of it.  I decided to keep it for myself.  Here is the album I made up from Rose’s last official photo shoot.  I know you’ve seen all of these pictures probably many times but I thought I’d share the layout with you.  I can’t wait to have it printed!

I especially love the last page.  Through last year I jotted down some of the funny things Rose said so that I wouldn’t forget.  I figured her album was the perfect spot to keep them.  Plus, the picture portrays her personality perfectly.

It kills me that she’s getting older.  I wish time would slow down for the precious first few years of her life.

sunset

I was cleaning up my folders and ran across this gem.  I took it during my very first photo shoot back in ‘08.  Makes me feel peaceful.

preview | emily + toj

Two of my sisters came in town this week for a visit.  I can’t tell you how happy I am when they are here.  They are my best friends (besides my hubby of course) and when we get together I wish so much that it never had to end.  I miss them terribly.

This is my sister Emily.  Tonight I took her family pictures.  Here is a little preview of her and her husband.  She also married a Jordan.  We call him Toj….  ”the other Jordan”  ;)

project 365 | apron for Rose

Last week I painted a picture for Rose’s room and of course Rose was at the other end of the table painting too.  All she talked about for the next week was that she needed an apron to wear when she paints too.  So, I made up some sketches.  She was so excited.  She carried the sketches around with her everywhere and sat patiently at the table waiting for me to finish making it.

Here she is with her apron.
