THIS DAY...

This day...
is a happy day!
This day...
my second grandchild was born.
This day...
there was a miracle.
Her name is Ava Elizabeth.
She graced us with her presence on this day...
Thursday June 30, 2011 at 10:52 am.

A pink bundle of joy, this baby is.
8 pounds and 6 ounces.
19 and a half inches...
from the top of her little head...
to the bottom of her toes!

She will be loved by...
Mommy and Daddy...
and
Big brother, Grayson.

Ava...
my wish for you...
is to grow healthy and strong...
be independent, but know your family is here,
to support you whenever you need us.
Grow up to be kind, loving and honest.

I love you Ava...
my precious Grand-daughter.

XXX OOO
Nena.

ROLLING WITH WHAT I GOT

Wow! It's been months since I made a scrapbook page. Today, I sat here looking at a blank piece of cardstock for over an hour. Geesh! Absolutely NOTHING!! Then I remembered last weeks inspiration night at Donna's. So I started with a circle, a stenciled swirly circle. Next, to add some layers. Out came the paint, ink, more stencils, lace and chipboard. I was on a roll... a slow roll. But after a couple hours and way too much thinking... this is what I came up with.
It still is missing the most important component, Little Miss Ava's photo. That will be soon... real soon.





The next is a project from a workshop, I took online last week. Christy Tomlinson's SHE Art workshop. It was great! I am learning to "let go", be free, try new mediums and techniques. I know... I just had a "lost my mojo" day with the girly page, but sometimes, even the best of artists have disfunctional days! Enjoy!!!
