Sketch it!

This week I had the opportunity to
play along with the Friday Formula on the CMK Blog.

I really love sketches!
I find them so inspiring and a great way to jump your mojo!
Aside from that, I love how you
can take elements from it and
make it your own! Kind of like I did
with my layout below. I kept with the theme of the circles and just moved them to the side to fit my page. I also
used the strip for inspiration as my background papers too!

You see sketches can be for you to
jumpstart your creativity every time!

Play along with this sketch and have some fun too!

The story of these photos is one I've told, but will share again. After we had gone to see the play "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" we ate dinner at a beautiful Italian place and then started walking around. Or was it the other way around? We were walking looking for food... I don't know. But I stopped right in front of the Hard Rock Cafe and said, I wanted a jumping photo. I know that both Sarah and Melissa thought I was nuts but I have to get a jumping photo every time because they are SO much fun! I think they got the bug and wanted to jump too so we moved down where it was less crowded and started to jump. It was a lot of fun creating this memory with the two of them! We had such a good time playing around together! I miss them so much! They were good sports in their dressy clothes to just go for it and jump with me! Fun times!

My grateful list this week:

1. Time off to sit in my pj's all day long.
2. Our beautiful yard.
3. Milkduds.
4. Laughing with A&D.
5. Family time because it is a very important part of us.
6. Scrapbooking fun stuff that comes in the mail.
7. Time.
8. Knowing that I have a Savior who will rescue me when I look away at the crashing waves.
9. Board games.
10. Peace.

You know I've enjoyed these past few days.
We've had tons of family time, did yard work,
I was able to start spring cleaning {well it
wouldn't be called that now huh? I guess you
could call it fall cleaning!} the house room by room.
I clean every week hard. The house is always tidy, always.
But I don't often go and do the baseboards and
straighten, or organize everything in each room.
So that's what I've been busy doing aside from lounging
around in my pj's, laughing with my family, playing board
games, Wii, and hanging out. It has been a really
lovely time to say the least.

I sure hope your weekend has been as blessed as mine has been!
