Scrappy News

Just a simple page I did. I love the teeny tiny buttons I found in my button drawer. 

In some scrappy news, that I've been waiting to share...

I have a layout featured on the Aussie Scrap Source blog!

I was ecstatic when I was asked to share the page about Ryan.

I hope you all are having a great week.

XOXO,

Holly & Co.

Thoughtful Tuesday - Week 1

 I'm instituting Thoughtful Tuesdays as a weekly blog entry.

A place for thankful lists, random acts of kindness shared, and other happy thoughts.

Today I'm thankful for listening ears. Both heavenly and earthly. These ears never grow tired of hearing my worries or self-doubts. They always respond with patience, kindness and understanding.

For my sweet husband, who can read me like a book,

and just knows when I need some time to myself or a hug.

For traditions. It may seem silly, but traditions have me looking forward to holidays and events for months ahead of time. I love being a part of something that was started before I was born.

ETA: Free ice cream sandwiches at work. Yum!

Have a great Tuesday everyone.

XOXO,

Holly & Co.

Our winner is...

Raquel!

Raquel let me know what letter(s) you would like and so I can let Lisa know asap.

Thanks for everyone who entered, look for another giveaway around post 400.

XOXO,

Holly & Co.

Welcome to Summer

The sign at San Juan High School said it was 109° on the way home.

That is way too hot for my snow loving blood.

We headed straight to the pool armed with some cold lemonade.

I grabbed a couple of pictures of Zoe swimming. She's such a water baby.

Happy quarter century Babe!

Ryan turns 25 today.

Lucky for me he doesn't read this blog, so I can post silly pictures like this :)

We had a nice low-key day. 

Lunch with Ryan's family at Chevy's...mmm...guacamole!

Home for a nap.

Trip to Fry's for a birthday present.

A visit with friends and some dessert.

Now home to play with the new gadget!

To the sweetest husband and father, Happy Birthday babe.

I love you.

I let Zoe play with the camera tonight. She kept saying, "Cheese Daddy!"

She took about 50 photos with her fingers covering the lens. 

I'm so proud she taking after me. :)

Through the eyes of a toddler.....I'm surprised their weren't photos of her sippy cup in there.

Well folks this is post 299, so next one is the giveaway post!
