My kiddos are too funny and a Friday Freebie

My boys have finally discovered they love to climb. They have been climbing for a while but I have not encouraged it. Well, the last two weeks they have decided they like doing it and who cares what mommy thinks. :) I knew Cameron was in the pantry today (will be so very happy to have a regular door again in two more weeks!) and all of the sudden I just knew something was up. Sure enough, I rounded the corner and he is climbing the shelves! Oh no...I am in for it now. He tried it again later and I put a very quick end to that one. They are smart little boogers I have to say. He knows to move a box or something in front so he can use that to step up. Hmm...pretty soon they will be outsmarting me in a lot of ways I am sure.

Okay, I finally took the plunge and made some things for the first time other than papers that I made with overlays. Now I am not saying I will end up being a fantastic designer or anything like that but this intrigues me. I want to learn. I like to learn. I need to learn. I just have to understand things for some strange reason. And it's fun to give things away. :) So I am hoping to start doing at least a Friday Freebie. I am having fun playing around and I always need a good challenge.

I used Sir Scrapalot's Grab Bag #2 to make this cute little mini. Got some very cute goodies in there and seeing the stars with it just being the 4th of July made me feel all patriotic. So hopefully you can do some 4th pictures with it. :) And if you do use it for something please let me see what ya made. I would be so honored to have someone use something I make in their layouts and would love to show it off here too!


You can download here or click on the picture. I still need to do some TOU but for now just enjoy and use it for what you see fit. I would also welcome any feedback!!!!! Good, bad or indifferent. I am just now starting to learn how to do this and have such a LONG way to go!

I hated that climbing stage. Alison was into that big time. That's probably why she is such a good gymnast and pretty much fearless on beam and bars. I just remember finding her standing on the dining room table if I turned my back.
