Mt. Rainier & Back to Nature Kit by CathyK Designs

This month’s daily download at Gingerscraps was created by CathyK Designs. I have to admit, I’ve stopped taking as many photos as I used to. I can’t seem to find the time for nature walks or things like that the way I used to. Work and activities with the little man just temds to suck the life right out of me. We are making a plan to try to rectify that this coming school year, but when I saw…

Physical Therapy Issues and Work It Girl by LouCee Creations

Santa Season Gets the Tree!

I recently got to work with the Santa Season kit by Clever Monkey Graphics.I absolutely loved the kit! So when Tracey came out with her first add-on for the kit, called Getting the Tree, I knew that I had to try it out oo.
