So much to say (and even more to show!) For those that make it through everything, I applaud you! Here we go...
That's right -- 40% off EVERYTHING all weekend long (including Monday!) I don't have BIG store-wide sales very often and this will most likely be the last one until the Fall. So hurry on over! There are SEVEN brand-new template packs and there is one pack that was originally part of the QUEEN OF THE CROP swag bag. So that makes EIGHT new products! Lots of different styles to meet the needs of a variety of styles! Want previews? Here you go!
And here are a BUNCH of layouts that my CT and I have done. Some of mine you have seen, but I wanted to show them again with the template sets. Even though I have been making templates for nine months now, I am still amazed at how they can turn out. Some may look just like the original template, and some are very different and yet the starting point for the inspiration was there. I love that you can add to and subtract from them to get a LO that truly meets your needs. I love seeing what other people do!

Thought you got enough to look at already? Well grab another cup of coffee and sit back because we had a GREAT day yesterday and I took TONS of photos (I loooovvvveee digital!) I won't share them all, you would be here for days, but I will share a few I love. Mostly straight out of the camera here, but I see lots of potential!
We had lunch with a friend at Focus on the Family and then we headed to GARDEN OF THE GODS park. It is definitely my favorite place in the city. I just LOVE it. It was a bit chilly out but once the wind died down it was glorious out. Alaina was loving it and about every ten feet wanted her picture taken...and then she wanted to take our picture! The boys had fallen asleep on the way to the park so they were pretty groggy and were very happy riding in the stroller. Finally towards the end the boys decided the join us and then I got to have two kids posing and telling me to take a picture. Caleb's problem is that he really just wants to SEE the picture so he usually moves before I even take the photo yelling, "I see! I see! I see!" Then he comes up to the camera and barely glances at the photo and says, "Whoa, cool." Silly guy. Anyway, here are some pictures...
Caleb was trying to run away and we were trying to get him to stay for the picture :)
This is soooo Caleb...
It was a wonderful day and really nice to just be outside, being together!
Today is a full day...lunch with Whitney, one of my Creative Team members and her kids. Then down to the church where Jason worked when we lived here. Then tonight I have having coffee with my good friend from college...it will be so good to catch up (without the kiddos!) We used to have lots of late nigh chats on my bed in college. It will be good.
Tomorrow is another full day...I am driving north to meet up with Laura, another CT members. I also plan to do some shopping. Then lots of other stuff we want to squeeze in. Sunday is church and visiting, then Monday morning we head back to Nebraska, finish packing up the house, and I PLAN on leaving for Michigan on Wednesday. We'll see how that goes. Crazy couple of weeks, but great nonetheless.
I hope you all have a FABULOUS Memorial Day weekend!

First, let me say YIPPEE for the big sale!
Second, and more importantly, let me say THANKS for your inspiration...not only your digital creations (which are fabulous) but also your blog. Your emotions and how you process them are so real. It is helpful to know that we all face many of the same challenges - but how you handle those issues is a daily source of inspiration to me!!
Enjoy the rest of your vacation - your pictures are great! And thanks again for all you do!!

You have the most amazing creative team with some of the best layouts I ever see around. Awesome for you! I especially liked Whitney's of all the baby layouts specialized for them. Very cute idea for grandparent gifts.
Loved seeing your photos of Garden of the Gods. It is also one of my favorites to visit, although I think I have to drive further to get there than you, LOL, since I like in Kansas City.
You and your family have a fabulous holiday weekend!
