More school clothes shopping in February!

Do your children wear out their clothes as quickly as mine do? I bought all new clothes in September, and the jeans are already all getting holes in them. Not to mention they are almost too short and too tight now.

Why do they have to grow so fast? It's so sad! I miss my baby, but I love the stage where she is now and I can't wait to see the person she'll be next. Oh, parenting is so full of weirdness. LOL.

So we went to Old Navy tonight to buy new jeans and we couldn't find anything that fit. She's between sizes right now and it's so frustrating, lol. So we bought t-shirts instead.


I guess we'll hit the mall tomorrow and see if we can find something that will be long enough without being so long she'll trip. Something that is not too tight in the waist yet not so big that it's falling off her hips. Oh, wish me luck!

New Products!!!

Have you seen the new Sing Spring kit by Sausan Designs?

Oh, I just love it. I was thinking of a few specific photos when I bought it but I ended up scrapping something completely different with it. I ended up doing a zoo page! LOL

Anyone who knows us knows that we love the zoo, that is one of our favorite places to go. So I have tons of zoo photos from throughout the years, and in this page I used one of my favorites.

Journaling: "As a pre-schooler, you’ve already determined that the ideal location for your wedding is at the zoo. Since you plan to be a veterinarian at the zoo, you might as well get married there too! 2004."

















This next layout uses several new products by Tracey Monette. I really enjoyed creating this page; doodles are totally fun to work with.

Here are a few previews of the products I used, all available at Scrapbook-Elements.

Basically, it's Elizabeth being completely silly during a road trip a few years ago. My sweet girl is full of personality!

Oh don't you ask me about buying clothes with kids, in our case especially DD! She seems to be between sizes everytime we go shopping for her, and she seems to grow out of her clothes overnight...LOL.. Alissa, TY for showcasing my new kit and it makes me happy to hear that you loved it! I love this zoo layout! It is pretty unusual for a zoo layout but this is what I love about your style. it rocks!!
Have a great day!
