Crunch Time

 These pics of my lil' Nathan were snapped up one afternoon while the big boys were at school (last year).  I had been watching him all morning, thinking about how cute I thought he was and how much I was going to miss having him with me all day went he started kindergarten.  I was in love with his actions, sayings, how he dressed himself (including his multiple costume changes) and most of all...how he liked to 'snoogle' his mama.  I nearly peed myself when I went to take these photos and his big grin revealed a set of vampire teeth!  Never a dull moment, I tell ya! :)

 This paper line is Studio Calico's Elementary collection.  I scored a heaping pile of it last month during the last call sale they enticed me with.  I simply couldn't resist! :)

 Above, Jenni Bowlin chipboard star and Studio Calico 'C'. . .you know me and stars!

 I stamped an alphabe along the left side of the page.  When I got to the 'n' I changed the ink color, added stars and the number '4' for 'N'athan's age.

 I'm loving chomping into a section of paper...you know just randomly finding a good spot..and doing it! :)  {Love that lil clock sticker too...reminds me of the one our dog Charlie chewed up} :)

 This paper is so darn cute..I added a few {more} stars to it...

 More layers, stitching and Cosmo Cricket tiny text stickers {{{I LOVE THESE...can't wait to use the Chistmas ones I've been hoarding!!}}

I am so glad that I finally scrapped this day. Our days together were always so special.  Our time.  I was right to be so sad about the changes starting school would bring.  It's a big bummer not having my little buddy here with me.  But...I know it's for the best.

love, lisa
