Life is Good

I am one of those people who believe that it is okay to admit to myself "I like what I did", and I truly can say that about this layout. When this paper came into the store, I knew exactly that I wanted to do a layout with it, using the little squares as a sort of house for different elements or pictures. I started off by just stamping that fabulous "Ali Edwards" stamp, and going from there, just wanting the pictures to show a little of OUR everyday life. It is wonderful to have photographs that document the ordinary everyday, and these photos were all taken to include at different times in my Project Life. There is no denying that the "special occasion" pics are just that.....SPECIAL! But it is these everyday moments, that we tend to just forget, never print the pics for and sure as anything never do a scrapbook page with. Well, it is these pictures that have NOW become a huge part of my scrapbooking process.
It is the "wonderful ordinary everyday" that I want to be able to look back at, or my family to be able to look back at, and remember.

I encourage you to do a layout depicting a little of the everyday goodness in your lives. Nothing fancy, no special occasion, just the simple everyday stuff.
Wishing everyone a holiday season filled with health, happiness and time to craft.
