Dare to be Free
The story behind the page:
I've been busy making pages using Ashley's kits. I've done 3 since last night, but this one is by far my favorite. The colors look like they were made with Dare's trunks in mind. And the picture is really cool. Actually, the shot was marred by Mikey's butt bent over and playing with Trev, but Ashley herself cloned his ass right out of there (literally, LOL). Just a fun layout.

Many Facets of You
The story behind the page:
A lot of people don't seem to realize I have three boys. Poor Elijah almost never gets his own layouts. So I thought I'd use pictures of him for tonight's SBB calender challenge. Plus, after today, he's the only one out of the three who didn't act so badly that I wanted to drop them off in the woods to be raised by wolves. I wrote a nice long journal entry about it in my
SBB gallery (first couple of entries right now, but I'm soon to add this layout to my gallery so they'll be the 2nd and 3rd in a minute). If you are at all curious about how my meeting with Nancy, Amy, and LeeAndra went, you'll want to read that because I'm not sufficiently over the trauma to talk about it right now. It was seriously that bad. If it weren't for meeting them, I'd say this was probably the worst day in recent memory.
Kit is Twisted by Ashley Olson, available at the SBB store.
Just Beachy
The story behind the page:
Ok, *NOW* would be the time to talk about the book I read at the beach the other day. Anyway, these are just some images from our day trip to Ocean City. We don't go all that often and this is the first time we've went when the water was warm enough to enjoy. The past few times it's only been through sheer will power alone that the men folk were able to tolerate it. I am a non ocean-y person. The thought of sea creatures brushing up against my legs and feet just freaks me out. I do enjoy the general ambiance of the area though and wouldn't mind having a beach house someday (Ha! Who would?), right after we win the lottery.

What Do You See?
The story behind the page:
I've made gobs of pages lately but I don't feel like posting any of them here. Mostly because everyone who might actually read this blog has already seen them via Hello or my SBB gallery. So I continue to not update because I don't really feel like I have anything new to bring to the table. Lame.
This is a page I did awhile ago. I gave the boys my old camera when I got the new one and for as long as the batteries will hold a charge, Dare is out there snapping pictures of everything. I've long since stopped saving them. Now I just clear the memory for him so he can fill it again. But I saved the first camera full he took. These were some of the more interesting shots. And so a layout was born.
I started reading a book the other day. Well, I started it a few weeks ago honestly, but really got to start reading it at the beach on Thursday. It's pretty good. It's called Swan Song by Robert McCammon. A heartwarming tale of the end of the world by nuclear holocaust. I have no idea why I enjoy those kinds of stories so much. Although this is a change of pace from my usual end of the world by zombie infestation books I usually read.
There was no real point in sharing that, I realize now. If I had finished the beach layout I've been working on since Friday then it would at least relate somewhat. Oh well, it's my blog and I'll write what I wanna.
Papers are Daisy Days By Kristin Cronin-Barrow. Font is Dear Joe.
