winter break!

winter break begins today at 3pm. *so happy* ready for a break and looking forward to the following with the family...

• sleeping in
• hanging out in our pjs
• making christmas cookies
• sipping hot cocoa
• wrapping presents
• being with family and friends
• our christmas party

we're expecting snow tonight and tomorrow. we could receive up to 12". i would love to celebrate a white christmas. *perfect* we'll probably be somewhere warm next year (probably okinawa, japan) so it would be lovely to have a cold, snowy christmas this year.

wishing you all a very merry and blessed holiday!

Kaisercraft Hideaway Collection

Here are three layouts I designed for Kaisercraft using the lovely Hideaway Collection.

 

One of my favorite songs is by Lee Ann Womack and titled I Hope You Dance. The lyrics say it best. It says what I hope for my children. My favorite line... I hope you never lose your sense of wonder. It is easy for us all to lose our sense of wonder - to become cynical and jaded. Instead, I hope all of my children stay on the path of wonder. I want them to believe in themselves and to know that they can accomplish anything they want.

 

My favorite little hiding place in CA - Cedros Park. I haven't found anything here that can compare. I'm searching for it so if you know of a little place like my Cedros Park please leave a comment or private email me with your secret! xo

 

The writers for Grey's Anatomy are brilliant. I love Meredith Grey's quotes and I used one here on this layout. It was exactly what I wanted to say to my little girl.

The paper and all of the brushes and embellishments are by Kaisercraft using their digital kit titled Hideaway.
