Getting Caught Up

Mia received her Livi Lu top in the mail yesterday. I was anxious for her to try it on because I measured her chest size with a household tape measure (sad, I know!), but it was late when we got home from soccer and it had to wait until this morning. It fits great and I love it! Lynn at Somewhere in the Sun is so talented!! Do you want to see some other beautiful models in their Livi Lu creations? See Lily (and Oakley), Ella, and Adalyn. Sorry if I left anyone out. I'm going by (a very poor) memory here for those that I have seen wearing this cute little top. I know we had to have ordered them all on the same day, because I ordered Mia's as soon as I saw Lynn's sweet Olivia modeling it. (OK, have I set a record for the most links in any one post?) :-)

Livi Lu 2

I went ahead and prepared this scrap page last night because I knew the colors in the shirt and that the photo would be vertical. I wish I could pre-make pages more often. It was pretty convenient to just plug in the photo today.

Livi Lu 1

Digital paper: Paint the Moon's Sakura Spring at Oscraps; Flowers: Paint the Moon's Funky Flowers at Oscraps; Frame and Ribbon: Dad's Rule by Shabby Miss Jenn; Beads: Misty Cate's I So Pretty at Oscraps.

As I've mentioned before, I don't like to get behind in my scrapbooking. I try to stay current because I scrap pretty much everything. We joke that we're going to have to build a photo album wing onto our house. Well... I'm behind. (I just need to stop taking pictures!) I tried to get a little caught up last night. Here are some pages from a trip that we took to the zoo about a month ago.
I love that Mia's feet aren't even touching the stage in this one.

World is your Stage

No, not a typo. :-)

Petting zoo

I love the look on Leila's face in this photo. She loves to go inside the Habitat Hollow, but she gets scared at the animal noises, in this case an owl. (It is pretty dark in the place.) I love that I caught her right when she heard the owl.

You Are a Hoot

Our zoo just added on a new section full of children's rides. It's great! The girls had so much fun trying out all the new rides. And we pretty much had the place to ourselves. I definitely see this becoming our Fall Hangout.

New Rides

Digital credits: I don't remember everything I used. (Oops! Is this a big faux pas? ) I recolored the paper to match the girls outfits, so I don't recall where it came from. The flowers are from Funky Flowers again. The stitching by Dad's Rule . "Hoot" letters by Shabby Princess Winter Chic.

Oh Michelle, Mia just looks so precious! I love seeing her wear it as a dress. Olivia just doesn't know what to think about all of these girls wearing her top! She always says "Ibia?" when I show her. Your pages are fantastic! The colors are perfect.

I enjoyed you zoo pages too. You got really good shots. Don't stop taking pictures! :D

Mia looks like a little doll baby in her top. I think there is a lot of little girls running around these neck of the woods in a Livi Lu Origianl...LOL.

Mia is such a beautiful little model. The shirt/dress is darling. I used to dress like that...sigh!

What a zoo! The picture of M and L looking out of the hole is priceless. I love the look on L's face. She is a doll baby.

Hugs from the beach. Everyone is sleeping and I am catching up on emails and blog posts.

Hey, I bought an external flash and I LOVE it. Thanks for the advice : )

What a great post. You do such a nice job of scrapping and I admire your talent. Lynn has really jumped in there and done such a nice job with her creations. It'll be fun to see what else she'll be coming up with. Mia does them justice for sure.

Love your blog!
