Journaling: Starting in 2005 we have done a family portrait each year. This year we did the portrait at home with me taking the photos using our Sony Cyber Shot digital camera and a tripod. I took over 102 photos but only had a very few that were perfect and only one that was perfect for our Christmas card. There was some not so perfect photos that I really liked because they showed us as a true family and not as a “perfect” family we are not. Here are some of my favorites.

Wow! That is what I have to say about the newest Songbird Avenue kit for December. Wow! The new kit, Noel, was designed by Meredith Fenwick , Jan Crowley and Michelle Coleman of Little Dreamer Designs. All the profits from this kit are being donated to Make a Wish Foundation of Utah. So what are you waiting for?

Noel

Included in this kit are: 12 patterned papers and 6 solid papers, 12×12 inch layout template (PSD) by Janet Phillips, 2 glitter branches, 1 vintage photo mat, 3 postage stamps, 1 red poinsettia, 1 cream poinsettia, 1 tree trio element, 1 word art embellishment, 1 poinsettia ribbon (also with shadow), 1 folded paper, 1 folded ribbon frame (also with shadow), 1 bow, 2 photo frame stamps, 1 copper bookplate, 1 copper brad, 1 9-photo stamp sheet, 5 coordinating ornaments, 1 ornament border, 4 coordinating stitched ribbons, 1 snowflake border, 1 tree embellishment, 1 alpha set (0-9 and lower case a-z)

Journaling: If I had to chose my favorite men from all the world, I would not chose an actor, a model or any one famous. My favorite men in the world are my husband and son. No one can stand up to them. I love them more than life it self. Sam and Liam keep me going each day. They make me smile. They make me laugh. They make me happy. I can not image a life without them in my life. My wonderful men, my heroes.

Journaling: Hello from Ft. Fisher! We are having a great time. Liam loves playing in the sand, as evident in the photos. He is a little afraid of the water but hopefully he will get over that fear before our 4th of July camping vacation is over. Candace
