Happy weekend everyone! I hope you've all had a good week. Mine has been super busy with the day job so I'm more than ready to grab some time for myself this weekend. If you're up for doing the same, check out Lynn's new goodies in the store at The Lilypad! I was quick to pick up the Ashby Mini Kit - those subtle, vintage tones were perfect for a photo I wanted to scrap of my grandson which you can find here. The Ashby Mini Kit has a great selection of papers and elements wit

I failed at t

Last time we were in Paris it rained nearly every day. And it was smelly and it was dirty ... and it was fabulous. And despite everything, just about every photo we took I love (and want to scrap several times over). EVEN the one with the fountain growing out of DD's head ... AND the one where the inclement weather meant she dressed even more like a very small hobo, causing the Parisians walking with their beautifully turned out and co-ordinated children to turn and stare

When Daughter-Two was a newborn we decided it was time to upgrade to one of those fancy "digital' cameras everyone was talking about. So we went along to a megastore and asked the scruffy but apparently knowledgeable youth that approached us about our options.
