Love the journaling, and I'm in your boat--had to offload a bunch of stuff I don't use (but can't bear to delete) to an external drive. Love your bold beautiful layout!

Nothing to report yet, though yesterday it looked like maybe there would be. False labor is a tricky warm-up!

Seven hours in the birthing center yesterday for monitoring...then home. The kids had a long day. Waiting is hard! :)

Stunning work!

The flower bouquet contrasted with the practical supermarket background--that kind of says it all to me about support. Love is often to be found in the details. Love your design.

The background really enhances the photo. Lovely, seamless blending!

I bet your house smells fantastic! Nice use of the ribbon!

Lovely portraits, beautifully presented. Your page radiates such warmth!

Count me in on the journaling fan club. It's an art to draw those dotted lines among things--helps make sense of the Circle Game, doesn't it? Past, present, and future all really do connect. Emotional reading for me, and of course beautiful visuals, especially what you did with the Christmas cactus.

Masterful embellishment on this spread! (and love the bunny)

There's always fixin' to do, that's for sure. But there's also a feeling of rock-solid been-in-this-landscape-a-long-time that we love. Who knew an old house would turn out to be such a great addition to the family?

The blending is masterful here. Love the stars!

I'm sure you know that background with the reindeer face is perfect! Great use of Kitschmas!

I have only two side shots for three babies and regret that...hence the snap snap snap on Emma and, yes, the body con movement has definitely liberated pregnant women from "confinement." Remember our maternity clothes? Infantile! Not so these days. Yup, the farmhouse is a sturdy soul from 1876...

Love the use of poetry as journaling for these gorgeous photos.

Which is more exciting, the new baby (due date tomorrow) or the brand-new range for the farmhouse? Two focal points make for a good excuse for some over-the-top star-play.

Loving the Santa background--this is so nostalgic. Congrats on the Standing O!

Fun! What a fabulous way to jazz up portraiture. Such a warm, loving vibe to this page...congrats on that Standing O!

Simply classic. Love the light. Love the stars.

I know what you mean about the mixed feelings about zoos/sanctuaries, I experience that too. Excellent work on the pandas though, and I especially like the greenery under the button--reminds me of bamboo.
