The sweetness in my life ~

Our boys are truly our blessings in this life!!!

I've scanned a few photos that I've shared on Facebook

and I thought I would share them with you here as well!

Our second and third born, David and Brad! Only two years apart and VERY animated!!!

They were about four and two years old here...now?

30 years old and 28. REALLY?

A sweet photo of David at the beach when he was just a wee little one.

A precious photo of our fourth born, Chase...he looks like he's up to something!!!

He's now just about to turn 24 years old.

A sweet photo of Noah, our baby who is now 17 years old...he was only about two here!

This is a photo of our oldest son Brent who was a mere 1 3/4ths year old checking out

his new baby brother David...in 1984.

My goodness ~ Brent is 32 and now David is 30.

A precious photo of Brent when he was only about four ~

Chase, our fourth born is such a sweet angel here and only a teeny toddler!

David and Brad. Exactly two years apart to the day!!! Discussing The Night Before Christmas....

And here is a much more recent photo taken just a couple of years ago...

Our beautiful babies!!!

I hope you don't mind me sharing my sweet sons with you ~

I've been looking through old photos
and just can't believe how fast the time has gone by.

Cherish the moments dear friends!!!!

A few scans for you from my sweet gifts from Lisa!!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Friday and weekend!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

Just a few bits to make you smile ~

I love going through my old photos...

I don't know if you really love getting repeats but

I never tire of these wonderful old photographs...

vintage graphics from ephemera...

or photos of something beautiful ~


(Remember to click a couple of times
on the ones you want to save!)

Sweet baby girl:

A scan of a sweet notepad that had a lot of damage

and I fixed up a little for you in Photoshop...

Look at this little boy's haircut!!! Precious!

A most wonderful, wonderful quote:

One of my favorite photos I've taken...

I love these beautiful old treasures ~

A wonderful book to get you in a holiday mood!!!

I'm thinking I need to go pull it out right now...I took a few pics

of the inspiration inside ~

 I so love this artist's work so much...

I just love beautiful things.

They inspire creativity and

always, always make me smile!

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday precious friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

A few gifts for you and remembrance ~

I've been an absolute bumbling idiot lately.

Thinking of tons of ideas, thinking of patterns I have,

trying to find the things that I know I have somewhere...

Truthfully, I'm all over the place over here!

I did run across more of my beautiful ephemera collection and

scanned a few new things for you.

And if they look like repeats...just give me a break

and say to yourself, "that girl has lost it!"

I hope they're not....

a beautiful guardian angel print, click on it a couple of times

so it will it's largest size when you save it to your computer!

A few years ago I bought a big ol' pack of French ephemera

from Corey Amaro of Tongue in Cheek

and this was one of the many pieces she mailed me...

I don't think I had scanned this one yet to share ~

A precious illustration:

I will never, ever forget where I was eleven years ago today.
We all remember what we were doing, right?
This tragedy rocked the world and still makes me cry...
Today I am remembering those whose lives were lost,
those who sacrificed their lives to save others...
and those where were left behind to salvage their lives
without their precious loved ones.
Our world would never be the same again.

Thank you all so much for your encouraging comments

about our sweet grandbaby who seems to be VERY happy where he is!

You KNOW I will be posting something as soon as the action gets started

but obviously this little angel is LATE for his party!!!

Have a wonderful Tuesday my dear friends,

hugs and love,

Dawn

The Christmas spirit ~

If we can get through the busy schedules and the shopping frenzy,

the Christmas spirit is such a beautiful thing.

Caring and thinking of others....being more thoughtful....

I've always wished we felt this way all the year through.

I went through all of my past scans and decided to offer these to you again,

you may have them already or maybe not ~

Print them out in the photo program on your computer and size them

the way you want them. Wrap a gift in plain kraft paper and then glue one

of the images to the top of the package...tie with twine and it's done!

These aren't really Christmas images but beautiful to me:

OH! Lisa of Tarnished and Tattered is having a sweet Christmas giveaway!!

A gorgeous cone filled with wonderful treasures...

Wishing you a wonderful Friday dear friends,

hugs and love,
