Or that I'm going to like it
But change is inevitable.
8-years ago, I was thrown into the whole "motherhood/stay-at-home-mom" thing
Literally overnight
I was headed to work after my "regular" 38-week check-up
But I never made it.
Instead, I gave birth to the sweetness that allows me to be a mother.
By the time she started school, I had another ankle-biter,
So my time at home was, once again, consumed with the likes of "babyness."
Ashlyn started school Monday & is doing fabulously!
Come Thursday, Camryn will start PreK-4!
I will have to start getting up at 6:00
EVERY SINGLE MORNING!!
And I will be home by myself for the first time in 8-years!!
Times are definitely a changin'
And I'm not sure I"m ready.
I'm not ready to have both my babies in school.
I'm not ready to get up early everyday
I'm not ready to let them both go.
And I'm not ready for change.
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to being a SAHM, without the kids.
I will fill my days with uninterrupted cleaning & scrapping.
And maybe some exercise, if I decide to get off my lazy bum
But, that doesn't mean I'm ready to see my babies get older.
THAT, I'm just not ready for.
As promised, I've been working on some layouts.
I've so needed to scrap some pictures,
especially since I'm 2 1/2 years behind!!
I used Pencil Lines 98 and let me just say.....................
I LOVED this sketch.
This was the perfect sketch for some multiple, not-so-great pics I have.
Events where no one photo really stood out,
Yet, I wanted to scrap the event so the girls would remember.
The first is from a dance competition workshop Ashlyn got to attend in 2006.
She wasn't on the dance team yet, but her bf invited her to see what it was like.

These pics are from Ashlyn's kindergarten play.
Unfortunately, I didn't jot down any notes
And I don't remember much from the event.
I love how this layout turned out though.
I decided to stitch 2 lemons on the layout
And I think they turned out great!!

And that's all I have for now.
Hoping to get one more layout done today.
And spend some quality time with Camryn before tomorrow.
Have a blessed Wednesday!!

Wow! Those lemons did turn out great! Love the workshop layout too. Look how young Maddie looks! Wow! what a difference a year makes!
Wow, I am sure you will love some alone time! I will have to wait for a while to have that again. As hard as it is, especially since my husband is out of town and I am all alone with the baby, I love every minute of it.
Beautiful layouts. I will try to catch up, eventually, on mine.
i adore your interpretations of thsi weeks Pencil lines sketch
thanks for taking part
