Day 111

I’m so glad I took on this project.  It only takes me five minutes a day!!  I just plop her on my bed and make crazy faces and funny noises until she gets tired of me!  On most days Blaise is my photography assistant.  He loves to use our bell set to get her attention and often times he snaps away next to me with his play camera.   I’m not traditionally a “take-my-camera-out-everyday” kinda gal, so this project is really forcing me to move beyond my comfort zone.

Isn’t it just amazing how fast they change during the first year?  It’s just a miracle.

Have a WONDERFUL day!

100th Birthday!

Last week we had a little party for Frankie’s 100th Birthday.  100 days old!!!  The kiddos made her hand colored birthday cards for her keepsake box and we had cupcakes.  No cake for the birthday girl YET!

I can’t even begin to tell you how thankful we are to have this doll in our lives!!  She has brought us so much sunshine and joy.  So thankful!

Top Secret!!

This is the other baby announcement that I designed for Frankie.  I thought it would be fun for our friends with older kids.  Each small envelope has a business sized card with mini photographs to look at with the magnifying glass.  My very favorite part is Frankie’s teeny tiny finger prints.  I used an archival ink pad to take her “prints.”

nap time reading

This afternoon Frankie and I devoured the most recent edition of ARTFUL BLOGGING.  Heartfelt reflections on “finding your voice” and “living your passion” + the most stunning pictures make for the most perfect nap time reading!  If you are a blogger and haven’t yet browsed a copy of this publication… DO IT!  You can find a recent copy at Barnes and Noble.  I promise you’ll be completely revived for why we do what we do.  :)

baby toes + this magazine = pure delight!

I’m not accomplishing much these days.  These chubby chubby cheeks just keep calling my name!  I want to pinch-squeeze-nuzzle-kiss them all day long.  I did pull myself away from her cheeks for long enough to finish her baby announements!!! I’ll share those with you next week.

 Hope you are finding lots of lovely things to distract and delight you.

God bless YOU and YOURS!
