THANKFUL ...Papa and Myles

Accountability...days 5 & 6.....whoooooooowhooooooo....almost a week...and I am staying true..so far...so good!...Although..I admit these LAYOUTS (sans pictures) were done at a club at my Stampin Up!, UPUP lines...but, have been sitting "naked" since last year.....Sooooooooo...I thought these pictures from a visit from our Grandguys a few weeks ago fit perfectly!!

This is MYLES (will be 4 in May)...and his PAPA ( my hubby, Mr. Wonderful...aka: Mr. Lowes).Papa was on the ladder ready to hook up a tire swing...and Myles(aka: Smyly) decided he wanted to help.....The center picture is so fun...its like he's saying.."Now, Papa, do you think this chain is gonna hold the tire OK?"
This layout shows Myles looking over THE WALL, which looks down on the basement drive....He was being sooooooooo "brave".....and testing Mama & Papa with his constant curiosity!!...I still need a little more journaling on this page...But...at least its almost complete!!

I have been adding more cards to my ETSY shop..StudioBeeCreations....please see what I've been coming up with....using WHAT I HAVE....I LOVE creating this way....making use of my stash...

Come back tomorrow & see what else I come up with!!
