Olivia's first haircut

We went to my mom's beautician, Jeffie, today to get Olivia's hair cut. Her hair was nice & long, but definitely getting a bit scraggly! I got a couple of nice locks to save, and her hair looks so much thicker now! Of course I forgot to get the "after", so I need to do that in the next day or so after I do it!

So I've been taking Jessica Sprague's online course "Good to Great Workflow" this past week.

Wow! I feel like I've learned so much, and I need to change my workflow with my photos. I've been unhappy with what I'm getting back from Costco, so hopefully this is the change I needed.

Anyhow, I thought I'd share a cute photo of Olivia that I took over the weekend. She found Brandon's Halloween costume from 2008 & decided to put it on. It was over a hundred out (this is a recurring theme for her).

I *love* this picture of the three kids!

December

I've had this layout sketched, with photos ready, for a few months! I finally found papers not quite a month ago, and finished it last night.

I just finished this layout the other night. Based it on a layout from CK's Kit of the month from Becky Higgins. I even saw this layout at Green Tangerines that my friend Brenda used.

August 2008

So I just realized that the pg # of each layout (as I keep them in a folder on the computer)

corresponds with the month number. Like this layout is "08 August". I wasn't even trying :)
