Sand

I'm so glad we got my son a sandbox! He has the best time diggin' in that thing! We actually got him one of those turtle sandboxes for free through Freecycle.org It is a forum based site that lets your join a yahoo Freecycle group near you. I get emails that tell me when people are either offering things or wanting things. Well I happened to see that a lady was getting rid of her son's sandbox since he'd outgrown it. My husband picked it up that very afternoon. All I had to buy was some sand to go in it! How awesome is that?!

Anyways, here is a sketch that I did from 52 Sketches, 52 Weeks. It had lots of layers, so it gave me a chance to use up some of my patterned paper that I wasn't so fond of. Which interestingly enough, I love it on this page. I wasn't crazy about the polka dots paper until I acutally used it. I've had it for probably 7 or 8 years. haha.

Sketch # 13

Well a friend of mine referred me to a scrapbooking site called 52 Sketches, 52 Weeks. At first I was a little hesitant that I could keep up with making one layout a week, but after doing my first one, I'll have to admit, it wasn't that hard. It was actually easier than just sitting down to do one on my own. I guess this is because they actually give you a layout that is supposed to inspire your own. And it did! Here it is:

These buttons were a great find! Guess where I got them? A thrift store! I was so proud of my bargain. I got a whole zip lock bag full for only $1.00! The sea horses are from the Cricut Doodlecharms cart. I just love the googly eyes!
