Life on Film {Restoule Lake, Part 2}

Another few images from our lovely, and I mean lovely, week away... That view of the trees... Well, let's just say that's the view from Jay's favourite spot, the hammock...

Weekend Project {It's Your Day: Board Book}

Fall is here... And I'm looking forward to getting back to some weekend projects (hopefully)! I've been thinking about how to make the a wonderful book to follow Bren's first year of school... I've long been inspired by Dear Lizzy... And I adore this book... It's the perfect set up to add little pieces hear and there... Pictures, artwork, her first writing (can't wait for that)! Perhaps I'll get started this weekend!

Life on Film {Junior Kindergarten}

My first baby started school yesterday... And I just had to share this... How sweet is she? She walked away from me... Without looking back... And for that I am both truly thankful and a little bit sad... There are very few moments when she needs her mommy anymore... And that's good, right? When I picked her up at the end of the day, she ran to me and said "School is perfect Mom!"... What more can I really ask for?

Leah, on the other had, was a bit down without her big "sissy" around... She said on our way to school yesterday morning, "Mommy, I'll be all alone"... And on the way home, she turned around and said to Bren, in a most earnest voice, "I missed you." It was a moment I hope I will always remember...

Life on Film {Britain Lake}

It's a big day here today... My baby, who's not really a baby anymore, goes to school for the first time today... I am so happy for her... She's been so eager and excited to go to school... And I am so thankful that we get to send her to a school we fully trust and believe in... Where the truth that we are teaching her at home, the truth of God's Word that she hears faithfully each week, will be honoured and affirmed... I'm amazed at how quickly the last four and a half years have passed... And I can hardly believe that today, I need to let her go a little... I'll miss my girl... But this is the beginning... The beginning of the roots and wings... And with that, I leave you with a few treasured images from our overnight getaway to Jay's parents cottage on Britain Lake...

Exciting News...

Dear friends... I have very exciting news today! On Friday, I closed my shop at One Story Down... And today is the grand opening of my new shop at Design House Digital! Back when I first began scrapping digitally, DHD was the first shop that I found... And it's been my favourite ever since! I am beyond honoured to be joining the team and consider myself amongst the strongest talent in the industry! I am very, very excited! In celebration of this new beginning, my entire shop will be 30% off until the 5th! And until Wednesday, get The Kate Vintage Fabric Bits for FREE and grab The Sweet + Spicy Doilies for only $1! What fun, eh?

New today, inspired by The Sweet + Spicy Doilies, The Sweet + Spicy Papers... I love these papers... And I'm so pleased with how they turned out! I hope you like them too!
