How Can You Not Love This Boy?

My son is quite the character. I can only imagine the fun and games that await me as he gets older. As it stands, he definitely has a future in physical comedy. He is so full of energy and is constantly making us laugh with the things he says and does. For a kid who only started talking at 3 1/2, he is sure making up for lost time.

He never just smiles at the camera - There is always a pose!

He has his own sense of style.

Oh, to be that young and carefree!

Without my boy, this world would definitely be a duller place.

Fantastic shots of James, pleased to read your life is not dull.

Enjoyed revisiting your older posts. I think we should do this more often.
Just read 'My Morning Workout' again and totally agree with Cynthia's comments:
"My dear Annemarie, not only are you a goddess with graphics, you also have a talent for writing comedy!!! absolutely loved this!
You are a STAR!!!!!!!"

OK Mrs Star give James a big hug for me.

James is just SOOO cute! It's funny that he always poses for the camera. You're lucky - some kids are shy and don't want their picture taken. Obviously, you're not going to have that problem with him. I haven't been to your blog in a while (shame on me!). Love the layout!! I'm counting on giving you a hug soon. xoxoxo

He looks like a fun little guy! I have my first boy after having three girls, and he is so much fun! We are enjoying him and how different he is from his sisters. =)

Hi Annemarie, I just read Peggy's post about decisions - then your response, which I liked very much. I guess, upon reflection, that it is helpful to look back on decisions that haven't worked out well in order not to repeat the mistake. I seem to have plenty of decisions in that category! Just wanted to say thanks for your thoughtful insights. Jan

Great poses, James! I see a scrapbook page layout in the making!

I can't believe how big he is! And Daniel was a late talker too. Now we can't shut him up!

I Love Tissue Paper

Image
If you saw my Discipline collage , you can tell I have a thing for tissue paper. I have used it make inchies and to paint mountain/sunset scenes. Now I am working on some ATCs . I have done some before using the same cardstock I am using this time. However, I am tired of this background and want to alter it some how, so here's where the process went. (Note: I did try it on some sample-sized pieces of cardstock first so you might see those pop in from shot to shot.) I began with a plain piece of cardstock (it is supposed to be green/yellow.) I lightly drew a line on the card. I then squeezed some glue onto the card (don't ask why it's blue...that's another story.) I used scrap piece of stock to spread the glue to get a perfectly straight edge. I laid the tissue paper onto the wet glue and pressed out the bubbles. (You could use a brayer, it gets messy.) I trimmed the excess tissue. (I have torn it before, too, for a different effect.) After the glue dried, I took the c

I'm Baaack...At Least for a Bit

Long time no post. So what brings me back? Quirky Dutch Summer . Week 1 has me making my own art journal.  This sent me on a field trip to Hobby Lobby where I found quite a deal on journals, canvases and a pad of primed sheets of canvas. (More than 75% off.) I then dug through a very old stash of acrylic paint. All of my art supplies are in the garage after I cleaned out my office for Thanksgiving a year and a half ago. I needed room for a long table. I also didn't want my company seeing my messy workspace. I've not brought much in since then. That's what I'm liking about Quirky Dutch Summer. It has me playing in my art stuff again. I have no plans this summer and my youngest is about to leave for cousin camp, giving me plenty of time to get my hands dirty. So let me show you what I've made. First I painted the front of the canvas. Then I painted the back and let them dry overnight.  I folded the edges over and glued them down. I used Aleene&

Change of Plans & Calendar Journal Time

Image
Well, as a family we were all going to use the long weekend to trek down to Texas and rip out carpet and paint walls. Come to find out, Gary doesn't have Monday off so it would make a really bad turn around time. So...we decided to stay home and make plans to go another time. Meanwhile, all I can envision is the money pouring out of my already empty pockets into the mortgage and utilities for a house we aren't using. :-( Now, I will look for some free activities to do in the city for the Labor Day weekend. I have seen several advertised on tv. I hope the temperature stays cooler than yesterday (102F.) Yesterday I lazed around the house feeling a little sorry for myself wondering why I don't have a job yet. So I got out my sketchbook and calendar journal and fiddled around. I have been thinking about working on a set of note cards to sell at some local gift shop. They would look like some of these: I just want to unify the theme of them so they seem more like a set.
