Cluster frames from Kristin

Kristin's ScrapDesign has a new set of cluster frames in her Pickleberry Pop store...

This is Lovisa Lin practicing for a piano recital in February. She is really good, and has wonderful talent (even though I say so myself :) but she's lazy when it comes to practicing LOL

Lavender Sweetie from Vera Lim

Vera Lim released another kit this week, it's called Lavender Sweetie...

And she has the coordinating Magic as well...I love Vera's magic - it's always perfect!!!

This is my very independent three year old, trying very hard not to fall down some steep riggedy stairs, while climbing down to a floating pier in a town in nortwest Iceland which we visited in July. She adamantly refused any help, insisting she could very well do this herself. Which she did - and she was very proud of herself when she finally got down there LOL

Alannah from Lyndsay Riches

I just loved the colors in this kit the minute I saw it!! Lyndsay Riches just released a reloaded version of her Alannah kit...And I made this...

A rare photo of myself and my older daughter in November 2004. I'm always on the other side of the camera LOL

A collab from Vera Lim and Sausan

Vera Lim and Sausan Designs made this gorgeous fall kit, called Whimsicowl Autumn...I didn't do a fall layout with it. I used it to scrap Lovisa......during a rare heatwave in Iceland in July 2008 :)

Chore Chart from The Ettes

The "Ettes" & Company are guesting at Scrap Orchard at the moment. They have some gorgeous kits, and I got to play with their Chore Chart kit......I made this with itIt's the story of my younger one's potty training back in January. I thought she'd never quit, but once I figured out that she knew when she had to go, it was just easier to go in her diaper than to the potty, then I figured it was time to just take away the diaper and put up a chart. She got a sticker every time she went successfully in the potty - and within three weeks we didn't even need diapers while she slept at night, so I thought it went pretty well :)

Glaze Dreams from PST Designs

It's a gorgeous winter/Christmas kit, cold and warm - extremely beautiful in every way!!! It's called Glaze Dreams and it's available in PST Designs' store at Pickleberry Pop...

Here is my first layout with it...These are my husband and our younger daughter enjoying the snow in our backyard in March 2008 :) We have a big spacious yard with a little sledding hill - and they were both enjoying him running around with her on the sled LOL She was laughing the whole time :)

A collab from Edeline & Camila Maria

Edeline Marta and Camila Maria just released this fabulous collab at the end of last week. It's called Flourish and it's available at Scrap Artist and After Five...

Here's my layoutIt's my beautiful niece in July :) My brother's family lives in the States so we don't see them nearly enough. It's a shame, since my niece and my older daughter are the same age, and my nephew and my younger daughter are also the same age. Each pair gets along famously - so it's really too bad they only see each other once a year.

Blog Train

Welcome to Scrap Orchard's Honey Bee Blog Train :)

Halloween is getting close, and there are tons of fantastic Halloween kits in all the stores.

I made this layout with it...

I love those legs - and I love that my gorgeous daughter's glasses make her look a little bit like a kind witch LOL

They had their first performance at church on October 4, and she enjoyed this so much!! Unofortunately, I didn't get too good photos, usually I just snap away, but since her dad was working and couldn't come to watch, I had promised to videotape the whole think. I can't scrap the video - but it was much better than the photos I managed to get while also holding the videocamera LOL
