today we knew everyone would be at work so we hit the beach early! we got a prime parking spot, too! 🙂 here’s the little ham:
my boys were good to me.. stayed close and just built sand castles. 🙂
we love this beach. so much smaller, less crazy, we feel like we are far, far away from the city! 🙂
and during els’ marathon nap, i scrapped! for fun! again! this time, i was scoping out blogs for challenges/inspiration and found valerie’s sketches. me likey!
do you know any other blogs that do those challenge things? i liked the idea of this one but the current challenge was too similar to the way i normally scrap. so will be checking that out again another time. i am on a roll with the daily posts! since we aren’t going to the beach tomorrow, i hope i have something to blog about!

jamie,
my fave site ever is:
inspire me thursdays.
http://www.inspiremethursday.com/
plus if you have never done their stuff you can go back and do it now so you have lots to do. not necessarily scrap related but definately you can find inspiration there for sure!

which beach is it that you go too? or at least this one here…
I think I’ve been to the beach once or twice this summer. not nearly as much as I would like though.
thanks for sharing the challenge site. I always like looking at them, and think that they’re good ideas but very seldom do I actually do them…

Hi Jamie!
I’m a big fan of yours way back 2004 and your style is really awesome.
Els is sooo cute with those glasses! Tnx for sharing, it really brightens up a gloomy/rainy day in here.
I particularly like this challenge site because the sketches are created by different designers.
