Lost and Found

While I was going through some old files on my computer today, I came across a layout from October of 2017 that should have been published 10 books ago. I hadn't even missed it, but when I found it, I was delighted. It is one of those layouts that I'l cherish forever. This is Ashley and Mason in true form and I love it.

In case you can't read the small print, this is what it says. "Mason: Wow! You are tiny!
Ashley: But...but...you have shoes on!

Triplets are so much fun, even when you just see two at a time.

Now that I've found this,  I will put it in the book I'm working on right now. Hopefully that will be published in about one month.

So glad I found this  and now that I know they can get lost, I'll be much more careful.

MORE ABOUT THIS LATER.

Kiki, Lucky and Izzy

Our daughter's family includes three cats who dressed for the Christmas season this year. While this layout was meant to show their  outfits for the season, it  turned into a reprimand for Izzy when  I saw the crumpled Kit Kat wrapper on the floor beside him.  Even though I can read my dog's mind, I really don't know how a cat thinks, but I just had to guess what he would have 'said' had I scolded him for eating the Kit Kat.  Actually now that I think of it and realize the difference in cats and dogs, he would have probably 'said', "Yes  I ate that Kit Kat! What's it to you? This is my house!!  My food! Get lost!"

But doesn't his face look too sweet to be thinking that?


So, I had fun making this, but now I have more information...and it will definitely make a big difference in this layout...to be fixed later. Guaranteed though, it won't be as much fun next time.

First of all, all the cats are females...has to be why the little one with the Kit Kat wrapper looks so sweet, right?  And she likes to play with empty wrappers, so they give them to her to watch her bat them around on the floor.

Oh, and they can't read or spell! Who would have known?

For Better or Worse

The phrase for better or worse can be used in more than just wedding vows.  Our whole lives are like that. No one has it good all the time, not even our Ava. She leads a good life, had a great Christmas, but now she is in bed with the flu. We are praying she gets better soon. We are also thankful it is not the scary corona virus.

Hot Chocolate

While we avoid StartBucks, we know others who love it. One of them is our handsome grandson, Mason.  Funny thing is, he doesn't drink coffee.  So why does he like Starbucks? He says they have the best hot chocolate. He calls it the 'toppest' of top tier hot chocolate.

Take Time for Photos

So what is our hurry? So many times we miss these opportunities for good pictures.  Jerzee's sports Pub near us was well decorated for Christmas this year, especially at their entry.   It was the perfect set up for photos.  It just took us a minute to capture our smiling faces on the way in, before we had gained a couple of pounds eating their delicious food.

Well, the only way I could actually put Christmas layouts on the blog at the right time of year...would be to go  back to the past year. I'm just not wanting to do that. And since it is mostly family who reads the blog, I'll just put them on as I finish them...who knows, as many as I have and as slowly as I'm working, we  could be seeing Christmas all year.  Well that just isn't true since I put a very few of all the layouts  I make on the blog. To see them all, we need the books. Thanks to Shutterfly, we can do that.
