They had posted Sketch #164 which I thought was such a good example of less is more!
I created the below LO from this sketch:

On one of our trips to Disney, she persistently asked for a Disney dress (ie, costume!), and I kept telling her no - 1) because she grows so much and so quickly that I think it's a waste of money, and 2) because she would wear it a couple of times before moving on to the next thing. I told her that she could get shorts or a t-shirt, RobinJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08255107698736390244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570823266597525609.post-83877720882490873892011-07-16T20:05:00.001-04:002011-07-16T20:10:59.299-04:00Saturday ShareHello! I hope you are well! I've been doing a little scrapping this week. As usual I created a LO of my favorite subject, Temple! It's hard to see the name of this LO--it's Sweet Cupcake.
This is a picture I took of Temple a few months ago when we visited the Kennedy Space Center. She's wearing her father's hat. I also photoshopped the photo to give RobinJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08255107698736390244noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570823266597525609.post-34038789968022285512011-07-08T20:55:00.000-04:002011-07-08T20:55:05.153-04:00Some Stuff!Hello!!! I know I've been gone for a very long while. My first issue was my extremely demanding job, which has now been taken care of--I resigned! My last 2 weeks were the longest 2 weeks I had to live through, but I am proud to say, effective July 1st, I am now a stay-at-home-Mom!!! And if you ask Temple, she'll tell you it's the best job Mommy has RobinJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08255107698736390244noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570823266597525609.post-9776672208921122282011-05-31T09:00:00.001-04:002011-05-31T09:00:13.312-04:00ARTastic's New June ChallengeThis month's inspiration comes from the painting, Argenteuil, by Edouard Manet

I know it's been a very good while. I was actually without my computer for the first 2 weeks of the month. We spent Christmas with my brother-in-law and his family and my laptop caught a virus at the hotel where we were staying (I'm still unsure how McAfee got disabled) but my laptop was wiped. Thank goodness the tech was able to save my pictures and documents.
