Moms Art

The other day I found the still life drawing by my Mother (shown in the layout above). As I was looking at the drawing, I realized that I have the vase she drew on the mantle above our fireplace. I am pretty sure that she created this drawing when she was going to college when I was in Jr. High School. I went to look at it, and also realized that the vase was one she did... with her Signature "Ro" at the bottom. I have already done a few page layouts with her drawings on them for Matthew, so I thought this would make a great addition. The photo of my Mom used in this layout was taken at my brother Brian's Wedding. The backgrounds used on these pages were created by me for the layouts, eventually I plan to create a Southwest Kit with them. It's on my never-ending list of things to do! :)

Wildlife Wonders

This is a new kit I just finished. It will be available at www.deco-pages.com very soon. This kit can be used for all kinds of pages, both for boys and girls. Here is just one example of what you can do with this kit.



This is a photo of my son when he was going to a day care center a few years back. This is what the journaling says:

Matthew, when you were 3 years old, you started going to Starz Academy for a part of the day so you could spend time with other children. Before that, you stayed with your Grammy whenI was at work. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done was leave you alone at theday care with “strangers”. You cried, I cried all the way to work that first day. But you had your Winne the Pooh bear with you, and for the first few months that you went there, you HAD to have him with you. One day, we forgot him at home, and I had to go and get him and bring him to you because you were so upset. But eventually you didn’t need Pooh any more. But I have him hidden away for you.
