Frog Prince





Brandon will always be my little froggie. When we brought him home from the hospital, he was such a tiny little guy. When you changed his diaper, he would have this big milk belly, skinny little hips and no butt. He looked like a frog laying there waiting to be diapered. So everything became frogs - his bedding, his stuffed animals, even a lot of his outfits tend to have frogs on them somewhere. Can't wait until he's old enough to sit still and let me read him a bedtime story, because I've got the whole collection of "Frog and Toad"...

The kit is "Night Butterflies".

Forced to Take a Few Days Off Work... Time to Scrap!!


I've hardly had time to sit in front of my computer lately, between work and running here and there with the kids. But I had a bit of a scare this morning. I found out 2 weeks ago that I am pregnant again, but this morning I had what the doctor called a "threatened miscarriage." Scary words to hear when you're expecting. He put me off work today and all next week with strict instructions to relax - just what I needed.

So I'm taking this time to catch up on working with some of the kits I've bought or otherwise stashed away on the external hard drive.

I made this page on Paint Shop Pro 10, which came as a freebie trial with Paint Shop Pro 9. Wow, you can sure tell the difference from how Jasc and Corel handled the program. With Jasc, everything was user friendly and easy to work with. But since Corel took over the franchise, they've needless complicated everything and moved things around that never should have been mucked with. I'll continue to use the older Jasc versions, thank you very much!

I'll get down off my soapbox now...

Mom got some peaches at the store about a month ago. She let Brandon have a bite and his reaction was so cute I had to get out the camera. He had just got his front teeth and every time he would bite into it, the juice would run down his chin. I love watching little ones react to new things...

The kit used is "Sweet Peaches".

I'm sure I'll be posting more over the next few days :)
