Come and Play Along

at 52 Sketches 52 Weeks.  Here is this week's sketch.

And here is my take on it.  This was a super quick layout for me, it only took me 20 minutes to put together.  I obviously can't get enough of pearls these days!  These ones are a mix of Kaiser and Basic Grey.  I loved the packaging that the alphabet came in, so I used the woodgrain printed package for one of my circles.

Dear Cosmo Cricket,

Thank you for having the DHPB on you website.  It has saved me many times!  I'm pretty smitten with your products, your blog, your sense of humour and your new website.  I have professed my feelings several times, like here.

But, I have to ask....what is a Cosmo Cricket? 

Here are a few of my recent layouts using CC.

So...if anyone can tell me what a Cosmo Cricket is, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks,

Heather

Capturing moments

like this makes me happy.  Perhaps it was because they spent 48 hours apart and really missed each other.  Perhaps it is because they are starting to spend more time together and actually getting along (knock on wood).  Perhaps the religious paraphernalia at grandma and grandpa's house was having some kind of miraculous effect on their relationship!  Whatever it was, I'm glad I caught it on camera.

Little Fish

This layout is for this week's sketch at 52 sketches 52 weeks.  Ruby loves the little pool in our backyard and would spend all day in it if we let her!  She has gone up to Ken's parents for a few days and took the dog with her...so it is pretty quiet around here!  Norah is loving being an only child and getting all the attention!
