I should explain who these 2 handsome young men are in this page. These are our nephews, Elijah and Andrew. Elijah is my sister’s son and Andrew is my husband’s sister and her husband’s son. That picture was taken at my inlaws’ lake home. We take Elijah there with us for the weekend at least once a year. He and Andrew get along so well together even though there’s a 5 year age difference between them.
Ugh, I just noticed the journaling has typos in it…I think i saved this as a pds before i made it into a jpg, I’ll have to check. *Note to self: Double check journaling prior to saving as a jpg!*

New Blog Look!
Well, in my endless search for free scrappy things online, I ran across Sweet Scraps. Christie is the blog owner and she has the sweetest kit available for free! It’s called “Simply Adorable” and it really is just that!
The theme of her blog was made by Allie with one of her kits. It’s too cute, so I went and checked out Allie’s blog and she has other themes available and also directions on how to use them. I tried to use the kitty one but the background was a little dark for me, so I decided to make my own!
Why pears? Well, it’s a long running joke from when I worked in the grocery store. I’d smell the pear wrappers…they really smell like pears!! And it just escalated from there!
So now I collect pears. My kitchen and dining room “theme” is pears and I have pears everywhere in my house. Here are a couple photos of the kitchen and dining room.
Razzle…aka Yidda in the dining room window
Our baker’s rack and my pears!On a different note…I’m going to try to display one of my completed pages each day I blog and I’m going to try to blog everyday. I may not have a lot to say and who knows who’s reading, but isn’t that how it all starts? Someone reads one blog, something catches their eye and then they come back. That’s how I’ve found most of the blogs I read on a regular basis.
I’ll post the page a bit later, I need to make one today
