Summer vacation is over and the kids are back in school (pout) but I have to say, I’m so proud of Drew and Holly and how they’re growing up and maturing so beautifully! I miss them when they’re not home with me, but they’re already doing so well in school. I can’t believe Drew is in 7th grade and Holly is in 5th! There have been some other things going on since my last post which aren’t great, but I’m just not in the mood to discuss it now so…
I’ve been scrapping a lot and it’s been so satisfying. Then to top off a great scrappy September so far, I had a page selected by Gallery Standouts today!

I’m thrilled because it’s my favorite photo of Jaimee right now and it’s one of those times when you finish a page and you are really pleased with it.

Actually, many of the pages I’ve created lately have been some of my faves! Here’s one with three fun pics of Drew:

Tomorrow is the quarterly event at Designer Digitals! I love the all day chats! And for you… 30% off the entire store and freebies every hour at the chats! I’m hosting a chat at 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern called “Embellishing with Kathleen”. Can’t wait, hope to see you there!




love you Kathleen! these are all fabulous and your kids are beautiful, just like their momma!
BEAUTIFUL pages. I had to look at all the details. I cant believe how big the kids are. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful family. I sent you an email. BIG HUGS
Awesome layouts, Kathleen! Glad to see all your crafty goodness. So inspiring. Hugs and hope things get turned around from the “not so great” status to the doing much better status!
That surely is a darling picture of Jaimee, Kathleen! And your scrapping adds to it!!
Have enjoyed all the LO’s you have been doing. It is always an eye candy treat for me!!
