tuesday . . .

Anxious, worrisome, nostalgic, exhausted, uncomfortable, excited, and curious these days - at least one moment of crying a day - usually because I am worrying about something going wrong. Nervous, but ready to have this little one in my arms so I know he is okay.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is Thursday - Christmas will be here before I know it . . .

I should be scrapping right now, that was my intention, but instead I am surfing the net & now blogging . . . just not feeling the creative juices tonight :) My mom is taking Ryan tomorrow for the day so I can get things ready for Thursday . . . hoping to squeeze a bit of scrapping in somewhere . . . I work so much better during the day . . .

I had a new post up on the BlueMoon blog yesterday . . . I was so excited to use the Basic Grey Wander line & doubly excited to fit on so many wallet sized pics!!!! Check it out . . .

A close-up on the title work showcases these 2 awesome alphas that coordinate with the Wander line - love the contrast of colors & materials :) And yes, that is a little Jillibean Sprout peeking out - love how well this worked with the BG goodies here :)

I have always been a bit daunted by the BG doily papers - but decided to cut this one up in strips & use them as border strips - love them!!! I also worked in some of their AWESOME die-cuts & a Jillibean sticker :)

Ryan & I don't get too many pics together - I am usually the photographer - so this page is really a treasure. I love these pics of us - it was such a great vacation together & during this anxious time of mine right now - this page is a wonderful reminder of peacefulness, happiness, contentment, and joy - looking back I was pregnant here - just didn't know it - only days pregnant - having miscarried just the month before - we were escaping a bit - as a family - trying to relax & just enjoy life - all the while - a new little life was starting . . .

And with that - I bid you all goodnight - off to rest this weary body & start anew tomorrow :)

BTW - loving this song tonight . . . not thinking about the words & their meaning . . . just the sheer beauty of the sound of it . . .
