A favorite quote of mine:
"One of the most difficult things everyone has to learn is that for your entire life you must keep fighting and adjusting if you hope to survive. No matter who you are or what your position, you must keep fighting for whatever it is you desire to achieve. If someone is not aware of this contest and expects otherwise, then constant disappointment accrues. People who fail sometimes do not realize that the simple answer to everyday fears is to keep fighting. Health, happiness, and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life, but what we do about what happens to us."
-Geore H. Allen, Former Charman of the Presiden'ts council on Physical Fitness

I don't know what to put inside this book, so feel free to leave me suggestions.
We went shopping at the outlet mall here. They had a stride rite shoe store. There were these cute church shoes for Rebecca, but they weren't quite the right size. So we just have pictures and no shoes :(
Rebecca and I are having a great time at my parent's house. Last night my mom and I went to a local scrapbook store and scrapbooked. RJ stayed home with her Bear and Unkie J and watched TV and had M&M cookies. We've mainly just been hanging out and shopping and eating out. Jared got all A's on his 6 week report so he got to go to Lobster Fest.
d restarting. I don't think the gauge is very accurate on this pattern. The first attempt at it, it was going to be too small. Also, I added 5 rows of ribbing and the next row I knitted all the way across to give it a ridge to show a change from the edge to the beginning of the pattern. My friend Jessica was helping me with all of this and we both agreed it made it look more finished.
And I used 5 Unity stamps all from different sets!
Happy Hip Hop Everyone! I made this book with a friend in mind. The idea behind it is to be a Date Night scrapbook that is all ready to go. So it is super easy for a friend, especially if they are not the scrapping kind. 
n the right they fill out the journaling "prompt"/box. It is instant memories. 
12x12 layout of my little girl dancing at my brother's wedding reception. I used the dream stamp from Trifle Sentiments, Simply Adorable from Mix-up of Cuteness and a butterfly there in the right corner, that I don't remember what set it came from. I also used the tea time toile on the left side on the background, but you can't see it in the photograph. I like the subtlety of it IRL. The paper is by Stemma.
d flower. Easy peasy.
