Reasons to Smile

So many reasons to smile today:
1. I am thoroughly known, loved, forgiven, saved and therefore...eternally grateful
2. My sweet Baboo grew sunflowers that are taller than he is

3. The kids studied without (ok, minimal) complaining
4. We all went swimming together
5. I finished off two layouts for September's layout class:

Paint splats inspired by Ronda

Yes, those are pink (ugh!) roses. And yes, they have (gulp!) glitter on them

6. Which means that I finished ALL my September class projects (here are sneaks of the other 2 classes)

Metal cover album using 10 Seconds Studio tools

altered suitcase using Sassafrass Lass paper

7. Because I finished all my class design assignments, it means I get to play with all my new goodies:
- a new batch of yummy Purple Onion stamps
- all the 7 gypsies goodies I got but haven't touched yet
- new products from CHA that Cyn, Mer and Laine brought back for me to play with

Hope all my smiling is contagious..... otherwise, drop by the store tomorrow. I promise to show you the real thing and throw in a hug for good measure.
