. . . yes, i do. i feel another cold . . . here it comes! of course, you know me, always ready with my herbal concoctions closeby this cold better not plan on staying for too long! i've been sneezing all day and have the itchy nose thing going, but as my pharma buddies would say, it's just seasonal allergies getting ready to sprout! whatever it is, i'm gonna take something to ward it off and go to bed early tonight (after my usual reward of an episode of AI for a long, hard day!). but, before i go, here's what i've been up to lately:
first, a few weeks ago ian took the initiative and planned an incredible family outing for us to Mt Vernon to sit by the River with the kids and have a picnic Ian-style (i.e. -- there was ice cream involved!). Who cares that Mt Vernon is about an hour from our house w/o traffic . . . and there WAS traffic -- he packed the ice box, and there we sat on the banks of the Potomac w/our sundaes. It was heaven! Here's little Hudson making sure he gets first dibs on the ice cream!
and some other shots of my favorite moments from this much needed escape from the everyday!
(Ian & I . . . he was probably telling some dirty joke, as usual, right before azelin took this shot! But, hey, at least I'm still smiling after 9 years of marriage, right!?!)
WHO can resist these eyes!??! GOTTA love THIS KID!
of course, it wouldn't be a family moment w/o me whippin' out my camera and making everyone pose for a family portrait! these poor people! i'm surprised they don't just hide the batteries for my camera or something! LOL!
then, I headed to scrapdoodles (my lss) for a fun weekend of cropping w/some old and some lovely new friends. had a BLAST with these wild & crazy ladies! gotta give a shout out to my girl, cindy liebel for inviting me . . . THANK YOU!!!
we look goooo-ooood, don't we!! ha ha ha! ;)
then, another scrap-filled weekend for the salem baptist church crop where i ran my first make and take and talked up graphic45 and showed off my latest g45 project ( a wallhanging of my little man's firsts & most favorite things -- pics to come, my friends, don't you worry your pretty little heads about that!)
in the meantime, though, check out the prettiest little cards you've ever seen back at the graphic45 blog. some GREAT inspiration there -- paper, lace, flowers . . . um, hello, it's AMAZING stuff these ladies are doing!!
that's a sneak at my card for the challenge (at the beginning of this post)! i mixed it up with a little Hambly transparency, graphic45, and oh yes, bring on the stickles!
wishing you all sneeze-free days!
much love, natasha

Azelin took a REALLY good picture. I think that one of you and Ian should be framed and put somewhere in your house.
