there's a new word up over at onelittleword today :)
& this round is lynn's turn & she's chosen REFLECT....oooh a good one!
last year patty came up with awesome concept called "sum up summer"...each week during the summer she did a layout that would record in photos & in words what occurred that past week...it was concise, it was consistent & it was totally doable...i totally played along by doing posts each week on my blog & i LOVED it...but this year i really wanted something tangible that would hold these stories...
summer with the kids is jam packed & it seems to just whiz by so at the end i'm always like "what the heck did we do all summer???"...so this round i chose to create this journal which will be a home for my summer weekly wrap ups...& it is perfect timing since summer "unofficially" starts this weekend...
as you can tell....i'm still deep in my kenner road may kits for this month....love 'em :)
& because i couldn't bear to use up my cabinet card chipboard piece (i've got another idea for it), i traced it before sewing it on here...now i've got 2 of them...actually i guess it is really endless how many i can make now, huh? yay!!!
so hope you have a happy wednesday!!
xoxo

yea!!!!!!!!
i love what you're doing!
i guess i should be deciding if i'm going to do that again this year since school is getting mighty close to the end.
your album is so pretty - have fun filling it and you know i'll be watching to see what you are adding to it as you *sum up summer*.
