Seek Your Own Path Lil'One

My layout for the One Little Word challenge : Seek
is digital this time.

He is our youngest. It is about our journey to help him communicate with us better.
We are working with him on his speech -- so this picture was saying so much to me when I was thinking of "seek"

I have so many more pictures of that day's walk but I only wanted to use one --- must.. use.. restraint ---can't resist -- must make a page two ---- more pictures of cute lil'guy :) heehee

"Stop" Layout


This is my "Stop" page for Challenge #2, over at "one little word"

So, all of the elements came together quickly after I found this one picture. Rockstar, concert, music, etc. There's even a subtle guitar shape thingie happening with the curves, but this was unintentional. {But I do keep tweeking the title. I definitely broke my no tweeking rule. I'm bad with titles.} I had wanted to place the little bird right on the guitar, I decided a little off the photo was better. But it's because of, I have to admit, I always loved the little birdie at the start of the Partridge Family TV show, I'm sure she was on a guitar. Maybe not, but that's what I remember - that cute bird graphic on the screen. sing it with me ...... come on get happy:)
{it is friday after all}

But back to story....This one I have been wanting to celebrate since last summer. I could have used the journaling for my stack of other "I love you - you are my wonderful kid-this is what I want to tell you" pictures.

But this one was the one I went with -
This garage-sale guitar
the guitar with missing strings,
it kept her so busy imagining,
singing, playing,
so happy writing her own songs.
Taking the guitar with her
anywhere and everywhere
when we would let her.
The phase didn't last though
we still have the guitar,
and I can hear her "play" it every now and then,
when she thinks no one is listening.

Where Does Time Go?


My page for the One Little Word Challenge #1 === "GO"
over here


How fun to stumble onto their very cool website earlier this week....it was just the right boost I needed! This was a fun one because I have been wanting to do a then vs now layout on my two older kids. Born just 10.5 months apart {yup, it can so happen} they have always been each others closest companions and worst enemies {though not for very long}.
