new babies...

For the new challenge over at More than words challenges, I created this layout...
We've had a couple new arrivals in the family lately and still another on the way in the next couple of weeks (if she makes it that long) so I had plenty of lil ones to choose from for this page...I thought the quote was quite fitting for the first time parents...this lil guy holds a special place in our hearts..he's the first grandchild

thank you so much for coming by....Have a wonderful week!

Fantasy and Wings

The word inspiration Fantasy and the creative challenge word wings seemed to go hand in hand for this month...the word fantasy made me think of fairies...as a little girl, I used to believe that fireflies/lightning bugs were little fairies. So I created a scene with little magic garden fairies.

More than words

 I tried to capture the sparkle and shine, it was really hard with such poor lighting (it's been so cloudy for days here and I just couldn't put off taking the picture any longer or I'd forget LOL )
