Have you checked out all the Simple blog party so far this week?
Here's a list of links to the Simple Scrapbook peeps who blog...or bleeps, if you will.....
I do believe the Simple Philosophy will live on...
one of the things I love most about my personal take on that philosophy is the importance of finding your voice and letting that shine through on your pages. I've had friends tell me that when they read my journaling they can hear me saying the words exactly how I've typed them...for me, that is one of the best compliments I've received about this little craft of ours.
Here are a couple of my favourite layouts that I think sort of show what Willis is talkin' about.
This one is an oldie. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's about 5 years old. And if I type it and send it out on the interwebs, well then, it must be true.
This one is newer, but every time I look at that smiling little face I remember how happy he was using his God given ability to rhyme words with his brother's name to make him mad.
(*note* can you believe that when we named Lucas we honestly looked at each other, rather smugly if I do say so myself, and said, "and the best part is, there are no mean rhyming words for Lucas!" - in my defense I was 9 months and 7 days pregnant at the time, but I'm not sure what GG's excuse is....)
In all fairness, I believe you need a layout with words that rhyme with Jacob, or Jake......

It was his eyes, then his face, that I recognized when I saw you at Costco before I knew you.

And that is why I so love little boys. Life is never boring.

These are both super cute layouts! Aren't boys such fun? lol And why can't girls have "really big eyes" like that?! My goodness, you're gonna have your hands full with that one!

Those eyes are huge and gorgeous, oh wait you can't say that about a boy, they are huge and striking! ;)

His eyes are beautiful. And the Lucas-rhyming game... that made me smile. :)

Your comment about your "voice" - I love that. That truly is a compliment that someone can hear you talking as they read you words.
Love the LOs - who cares about the actual date on them? They tell the story of that particular moment, and I have to say - yup. I can "hear" you talking about you dear sons. ;)
