reading, organizing, shopping, momming too close to the sun. Home is wherever the Army sends us.
Home from an amazingly magical+beautiful vacation.
Sigh.
I have so many pictures and stories to share. I’m not quite sure how to share them.
One HUGE vacation post? Or should I break it down into
Austria
Germany
Switzerland.
Thoughts? It’s no secret that y’all are the best blog readers and friends out there…period. I’d love to hear your input.
Until then, I’ll be uploading photos and responding to comments (yes, still!) on the Roll Call post.

A sweet friend of mine decided that some of our old Two Peas group should do a layout and post it today and I was more than happy to join in.
About six years ago there was an amazingly supportive group over there. We chatted, uploaded layouts regularly, and the gallery was the best. So much encouragement and feedback. I really miss those days sometimes!
Here’s what I made. Choosing the photo was a no brainer. As several of you said…this photo of Lucy was screaming to be scrapped!
I stuck with a white+gold color scheme and used modified journaling from my Wordless (ish?!?!) Wednesday blog post…Easy peasy.
Supplies: Carta Bella Wildflower 6×6 pad, Martha Stewart tissue flowers, Freckled Fawn metal flowers, Crate paper stitched labels, Chic Tags star rubons, MME enamel dots, American Crafts gold thickers, Twine and Ink gold labels, doilies
TGIF, sweet friends!

Today I wanted to share my 2014 PL title page with y’all.
I decided to keep it simple and chic and I stuck with black and white + metallics.
Product wise I dug into my stash and used several printables.
Supplies: Gossamer Blue (gold heart card), Paislee Press (white card w/ script), Fellow Fellow (Let’s Go and Be Amazing card- I changed the background color),Mary Oliver card- my design (see below), MME washi tape, American Crafts thickers, Recollections glitter alphabet, sequins, doilies, Freckled Fawn feather veneer, Crate Paper patterned paper, Heidi Swapp together banner
I really wanted to include one of my favorite quotes by Mary Oliver but I couldn’t find a digital representation that I liked.
So I decided to make my own. I want something elegant and simple that matched my color scheme.
As lots of you know…i do NOT sew. So I closed the confetti/veneer pocket with washi.
I love the card so much I decided to share it with all of you. Enjoy!

Happy 2014!

Today I want to share a couple of items that I am loving lately.
Up first…my Artifact Uprising photo book that I made with my Florence iPhone photos.
AU has a great website where you can make books with any photos…but for this book I used the Artifact Uprising free app and ordered the book directly from my phone.
Amazing quality and EASY to make. Win Win. I’ll be ordering these for each trip we make. I hope to have a big basket full of them at the end of our three years here.
The next thing I want to share is this 20 Questions Birthday Interview Blurb book by Nicole Reaves. Cutest.Idea.Ever.
The book has a set of questions that you ask your child on (or close to) their birthday. These are for Cate and Lucy and they go from 3 – 18.
These are going to be such a treasure for them to have one day. And the quality is outstanding. Find out more HERE.
Okay, that’s all for today.
Still working my way through all the comments on the “Roll Call” post. I am determined to respond to each one…even if it takes me a year. HA!
Love to you all-
xoxo
