Created using the Scraps of Darkness Victoriana kit and the December kit featuring the Bo Bunny Enchanted line. - paired with the Dusty Attic Cogs, DA0001.

This is a photo of my boys that I took in Aug 2011.
My oldest had just moved home from living 1000 miles away for 5 months. He was thrilled. OK yeah, he doesn't look really thrilled in the photo.
I chalk that up to teen angst. Inside he bubbles with excitement I am certain. I think....
