This is my little grandson Tristan getting ready at our house to go to one of the family Christmas parties. Nothing in this world makes life more sweet than a childand little Tristan makes mine sweet indeed. His little presence brightens my world till it gleams with happiness. Everything in...

Have you forgotten that magic timejust a squinch before its time to go to bed? You usually got something sweet to eat, a story and lots of hugs and kisses from your parents and thoughts of what you planned to dream. There were giggles and the ever-present phrase you tried, Can I stay up just a...

The photo is of my grandson, Tristan when he turned 2. His party was at his Aunt Jocelyn and Uncle Jakes in California. He was soooo cute! Next February, hell turn four and I dont see how I could love him any more, but each year my feelings seem to grow even larger, if it were possible! I love...

Its fun, huh? To masquerade as someone elsecompletely get into a different persona. But, I think if were honest, dont we all put a little false front up for some occasions? I think of myself as completely plaina little kooky, but plainwhat you see is what you get and really honest and open...

I thought how Im like an ostrich, hiding hiding behind a maskwhen it comes to New Years ResolutionsI dont really believe in making themfor me they seem to be self defeating. I get all excited thinking of the new me and end up disappointed in myself when I fail at my resolutions, so I hide...

And yet another group of photos from JJ (Lily Designs Mily Photography). This precious little girl and the way she was photographed just seemed to becon me to use her for this wonderful freebie. And I wanted to get the point across that its never to early to teach your children to let their...

Ever notice that phenomenal burst of energy children get when you tell them its bedtime? I sure remember Steph and Joss, laying there, rubbing their little eyes and yawning, but the second the dreaded phrase was uttered, they suddenly came to life! The whole time I did this lo, I thought of that...

Tristan was born with a couple of little birthmarks (hereditary) and theres this little one on his forehead. Stephanie always laughs and teases me because I frequently clone it out for layouts. This type of birthmark is affectionately known as an Angel Kiss. Now Im kind of glad he has it...

Little angel, nestled softly on a cloud, floating high above in your dreams your soft giggle is heard as if it were aloud and life can be just exactly as it seems! by me DONT LAUGH!!! I did this in about 2 minutes and Im not a poet in the first place, but this seemed to becon for a...

After all, isnt it what we all desire and some of us are blessed enough to have found. What do they saylove makes the world go round or without love, I have nothinga million quotes for a beautiful emotion. Everything in this lo was created from the fabulous, softly gorgeous kit by...

I learned a long time ago that the only aspect of our lives with which we have any control, is the futurefrom this second forward. You cant change the past and it does very little good to dwell upon past mistakes in judgment, with the exception of learning from them. Cherish your triumphs, and...

Notice the pun on the title, the lo, and the content? LOL! Such fun! Is there a better place to relax, dream, reflect than a garden?....or just outside somewherethe oceanby a brookin the woods. The ultimate surroundings for getting in touch with yourself and a piece of quiet solitude...

This is one of my favorite photos of Tristan. Although hell be 4 in February, it still sits in the great room and I suppose it always will. I cant think of much that warms your heart more than seeing a baby asleep.And I really feel that he was delivered from above. Hes my only grandchild, and...

When thinking about what to do with this kit, I remember a RAK of beautiful pictures of Smiloches DD that she was sweet enough to give me! I found this one and it was perfect! She was sitting under a tree in the grass, holding a leaf and she had little bits of the ground on her little white...

Nice short title, huh? LOL! The meaning is simple.surround yourself with beauty. Focus on the flowers or garden of your life and try and keep negativity away from you. Its sooo harmful and serves no good purpose. Of course there are times when tragedy strikes and we cant help but be sad...
