Too funny...too weird
Wasn't I just saying that I was very protective of my children's images??!!??
The little one beckons for me to come to her and this is what I find...

Still working...not sharing...
I'm a bit frustrated that I'm working on an altered scrapbook of memories but am not comfortable showing my completed pages with the world.
I am quite protective of my children's images (and my hubby is "off the charts" security wise, so showing pix is out of the question.
AAAGGHHH!!! I love the latest spread I made but if I blurred the photos on a graphics program the post would be completely meaningless.
Sorry, I guess I just needed to vent...or let people know that...yes, I am still working on stuff, along with spending countless hours outside in the heat watching my kiddos play. Ok, I'm whining but with the high temp and humidity it feels like forever!

Beginning to harvest

My cute little yellow pear shaped tomato plants are starting to ripen!
These are actually #'s 4 and 5 off the plant. I was overzealous an ate the first 3 after a quick rinse before documenting my success.
I'm crossing my fingers that the big tomatoes ripen as well. I've been having trouble with them turning black on the bottom...not all but some.
The challenge now will be keeping them watered and alive in the 90+ heat.

Memories frozen in time
After finally getting around to ordering a ton of digital pictures, I figured I should really have somewhere to put our memories.

This is the title page.
I'll likely add a picture of both kids below the word Cherish.
I tend to do a *summer memories* book each year but I'm not going to limit myself to that this time. I'm not really sure how this altered book/scrapbook will evolve. Since I'll be including photos of family and friends I won't be showing many pages. I will show the completed book, at least from the outside, when finished.

Flowers
I had a chance to play a bit yesterday.
I mostly worked on putting the tip-ins I've received together with my own pages in a patriotic theme book. I think I still have a page or 2 coming so I can't say I'm done with that one yet.
Although I did make one new spread in my just for fun altered book.

I can finally reveal the full picture from the sneak peek I gave last week.
Theresa got her gifts in the mail and is very happy, so I'm happy too!
