This is a page for Jake's pets scrapbook -- big pictures, not much journaling. Just eye candy. :)

I am so blessed
HOW COOL is that stamp sheet? It's from Meredith Fenwick at www.ScrapbookGraphics.com, called "Covered Stamp Sheets." Freaking AWESOME way to easily get 9 pictures on a page. :)
Building our backyard
this one is, obviously, all about the story. I broke it up into columns and paragraphs to make it easier on the eye to read. This project has taken SO much of our focus and time during the month of June, it's definitely something I wanted to record! (And yup, I used the same type of columns that I did on the last layout. Once I find a nifty trick, I use it over and over!)

Fun idea for e-mail forwards
My friend Cara sent out an e-mail yesterday about being a child of the 70's and 80's. Since I was born in 1979, I don't remember the 70's (although I think I would have really enjoyed them!) So I picked out all of the items on the list that applied to me, changed only one (I didn't watch the movie "The Day After" or whatever, but "Night of the Comet" DID freak me out, so I substituted that one), and put them on a scrapbook page with some pics of me from the 80's. I have a scrapbook just for the ME kind of pages, and I think this is a great addition -- I had forgotten about SO many of these things! And as much as I hate the music and hair (and fashion!) of the 80's, you have to admit, it was a simpler time. (I can't believe I just said that. LOL)
I think what's important when you're doing a layout like this, is to include a note from yourself, as I have done in the pink section. I shared WHERE I got the list, and why the items listed were chosen (what they mean to me.) This whole list makes me laugh so hard, and I can't wait until Jake's old enough to read it and ask me about all the crazy stuff.

I live in a zoo
Boy, it doesn't get much more "real life" than this, does it. I remember loving to be in the midst of every toy or craft item I owned, so I don't mind when Jake does this -- as long as he helps me clean up! :)
New Swing!
Here you can see our new fence, and my AWESOME new swing. (Obviously, we're not done yet with the landscaping. LOL) Jake seriously is obsessed with our new backyard and LOVES to just sit on the swing with me and talk. It's SO SWEET!

Carefree Childhood
sidenote: being an adult is over-rated. I miss the days when summer meant 3 months of goofing off!!!
