i've been swamped with some huge projects this weekend. and i'll still be swamped with them for a few more days. so no time for blogging that much. but i thought i'd toss a jillibean soup layout up here for you stare at until i get back.
tomorrow is the girls first day of school. the summer went by so fast. but i think they're ready to go back. they've been so great for me this summer. keeping busy and being great helpers to me with the daycare kids. but they're also bored and miss their friends. so i know they're excited in a way to get back to school. and i think we're all ready to be back on a regular schedule around here.
Love the page -- do you put both 8 1/2x11 and 12x12 pages in your same book? I like the smaller pages sometimes, but rarely make them.
Wow -- school starts today. We still have a couple seeks -- don't start here until the 27th.

I love this layout! I finally used a collage format on a layout like you have shown on your blog. I think it turned out fairly good. http://www.flickr.com/photos/krolski/3801168735/
Thanks for showing that technique!

I love the LO--think it's cool as 8 1/2 x 11! It's fun to scrap a different size now & then! Love the Jillibean Soup---it's on my wishlist!
Can't believe the girls go back to school already! They must be excited after the summer home! Good luck to them!!

Great page Laura! I hope all goes well on the first day of school. I remember all too well how bittersweet the first day back can be for mom. Good luck getting those projects done!

New to your blog; it's really great. I'd love to know if your studio island is custom made or if not, where you got it. I'm looking for something similar and was thinking I'd have to go custom.
