"more better"...

ahhh....sweet little sayings coming from the mouth of my little one lately make me smile so big....everything right now is "more better"....she has to stick her tongue waaaaay out whenever she wants to make the "th" sound....I love to listen as she develops her own way of saying everything....I adore her and love her more than I think my heart can  hold sometimes :)

I've been doing a little scrapping lately...sometimes I have to pushed into creating pages...but I always LOVE the process once it begins.  I've been working on a new kit for The Scrappy Gourmet and so I had the chance to go through pictures of my little one and had so much fun remembering exactly where we were, and precisely what we were doing.  The kit contains a double page layout, cards, and a wall hanging.  Here are a few sneak peeks for you this morning.    sigh....my heart can hardly stand to look at pictures of her when she was so little....it wasn't that long ago...but she's grown so quickly.  I still remember where we were....a pizza parlor in Palmyra, New York....we took a 12 day trip by plane and bus with 15 little cousins (I think that's how many we had at that time).  We traveled all over the beautiful Church History sites back East and I have to say....I LOVED every minute of it.....what an amazing experience...chaotic?  YES....but so much fun with that many little ones...the whole tour bus to ourselves, and hopping from hotel to motel every night for 12 DAYS....Sierra was 22 months old at the time.  One of my most favorite memories was watching the faces of the airline passengers as we boarded the plane with that many tiny children...they looked totally terrified....but we put them at ease an provided free entertainment.  Everyone was given some bubblegum to chew to help their little ears while taking off  and landing...and then you'd hear a chorus of little ones calling out, "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE"  as the plane started taking off followed by rolls and rolls of belly giggles...soon the other passengers were laughing too...so much fun.  Thanks so much to my father and mother-in-law for taking us all with them and sharing this wonderful time together.

Here are peeks at a few of the cards in the kit.        And a sweet little wall hanging peek for you.   

Hope you're having a wonderful week.

Come back at midnight tonight for a special Papertrey Ink group post!

glorious work melissa, your attention to detail never ceases to amaze me, and makes me wish for an inkling of your creative eye and talent ;)

Absolutely beautiful. You brought tears to my eyes. Which really hasn't been difficult to do lately.
I have often thought about going to Palmyra and seeing some of the history of the church. What an awesome experience.
I also love the quote you used on the scrap page. I have seen it many times before looking for quotes to use for my sisters projects. I can't wait to see the whole thing.

Those cards are about as cute as they come. That darling bird just tickles me pink. Can hardly wait to see the whole kit!! What treasured memories of your trip to Palmyra. Our oldest daughter served her mission there and LOVED it. Very, Very special. Will be watching Scrappy Gourmet in anticipation for your kit. NJ
