when I should have been doing laundry....

 Ella has a shirt that says this. I've wanted to make a page using this quate for a long time- but I wanted it to be just right. I love how it turned out- I'm glad I waited for the right idea to come along instead of forcing it. Ella loved it, too and was so excited when I told her we'd frame this one and put it in her room.
 These are 8X8 canvases that I made yesterday. One for me and one to take to the scrapbook store. I bought the brand-spanking new valentine's line from Crate Paper, Paper Hearts, yesterday and couldn't wait to cut into it!

I did this layout for a past prompt from The Creative Type blog, which was "best advice." Instantly I thought of my Grandma always saying "be sweet" to us as we were growing up. And she always said it in the sweetest, kindest way, which just made you want to be sweet, if only just for her! We lost her 10 years ago, today. Oh, how I miss her, but her memory makes me smile.

So, Ella is bouncing around, kicking me in the head... and I know she won't stop before I do, so I'd better go!
