isn’t she lovely?

I don’t know about you, but once in a while I’ll come across a photograph that just makes me gasp.

This was one of those. This is my friend Sarah, who is expecting a baby in the next few weeks. Isn’t she just lovely? Isn’t this just one of the most beautiful prego pics you’ve ever seen? I just wanted to share it, in case it inspires anyone else, like it inspired me. (Kudos to her friend, Michelle, who took the picture.)

What makes me love the picture even more, is what you can’t see. Sarah was having an emotional, stressful day … feeling like a run-down mom (you’d never guess that this is her 5th baby!). Late in the afternoon, she and Michelle just stepped outside in the 10-degree weather for about 10 minutes and this is what they got. Like Sarah says, “It’s amazing what a little hair fluff with the fingers, some lip gloss, and a cute dress can do”.

Completely unrelated (but speaking of being inspired) … I’ve got some catching-up to do on some idea books. Here are a few of the latest releases from CK that I am looking forward to reading through:

1. Month by Month Scrapbooking by Amanda Probst
2. Get Creative with Type by Brian Tippetts
3. 101 Expert Solutions for Scrapbooking

I always enjoy browsing through a new idea book, hot off the press.

It seems as though MOST of you are having great success in using the files from the free download that I posted (in the last post). That is terrific! If your luck wasn’t that great (yet), try clicking on that link again. It should work just fine for PC and Mac. Sometimes the download gets interrupted or something. Or if you have a friend who got it okay, have her e-mail the file to you. If it’s still not working, and since I’m not able to (individually) help you trouble-shoot, please ask your husband, sister-in-law, co-worker, ANYone that has some “techy” skills, to help you. I want you to be able to use these, if it can help you.
