I have been a busy little bee....

Now that I have some more free time on my hands, I have been creating more. I have been catching up on scrapping some of the many photos that I have printed out. All of the layouts in this post use photos that were taken with my iPhone.... I love that gadget of mine. I don't have the 4, but I love mine, even without the flash for the camera. 

Anyway..... on to the layouts. 


We took Keith's parents to Bellfontaine Cemetery when they came to visit us at the beginning of summer. For those who aren't familiar with the St. Louis area and it's history, this cemetery is a very famous one. It is the final resting place to many famous people who made St. Louis their home. The monuments are absolutely gorgeous, and so detailed. I took quite a few photos as we were walking along the path. So I have plenty to work with! If you get a chance to come to St. Louis and you are looking for something free and historic to see, come here. There is a walking tour you take on your own, just by following the line in the road, and reading in the free guidebook they give you. All of the famous monuments are marked with numbers, so it isn't hard at all! 



We were playing baseball with the kids a while back, and after we had picked up everything, the kids decided that they were going to spy on our neighbors. I think they heard the little girl from next door, and that is what originally prompted them, but they were seriously spying. They kept whispering and putting their heads together, and then would come tell me what they saw very quietly. I know the neighbors must LOVE us. LOL



I know, I know... she really isn't ALWAYS so sweet. Recently she has been though. I just really liked this photo of her. She just LOOKS sweet!! 



I'm a sucker for pretty flowers. I love taking pictures of them. Because there were so many on the walk in the cemetery, I got a TON of shots, some of which I put in this layout. I have been trying to use up my scraps these days, before going on to using full pieces of PP. I have this drawer at my desk that is full of scraps. Large and small. It's crazy. I could make probably 100 layouts just from my scraps. 



I love my coffee. Hands down. If I don't get it in the morning, don't talk to me. There has always been a rule where I worked that until I have my first two cups of coffee for the day, you better not talk to me. It won't be pretty if you do. I have had many staff regret talking to me before I got my coffee in me. LOL 



Last, but not least, one of the cutest boys on the planet... my nephew, Aiden. Don't you just love the face he is making in the first photo? Luckily, he was all smiles in the next one. Kids change moods so fast sometimes. Not much different than a lot of adults that I know! 

Hope you all enjoyed my shares! I'll be back with another project later!!!
