I've been sitting on this layout for a month now, and I'm so excited that I can finally show it to you.

This is my FIRST design team project for the Paper Mixing Bowl. Paper Mixing Bowl is an online challenge forum which is open to anyone. It's so creative and fun! Each month Sarah and the DT put together a recipe card of technique, color, and sketch specifics, and then you get to put a layout together. Come over and play, submit your project, and YOU could earn a spot as a GUEST DESIGNER for the site.

The photo is my two girls, of course. Daughter #2 was home on leave from Alaska over Thanksgiving. The two of them laughed and giggled and made fun of mom, who was simply TRYING to get a decent photograph of the pair of them together - which I finally DID, but in spite of them.

It's odd. I knew that they would develop a relationship apart from me, but it's funny to think of them being friends and knowing that I had NOTHING to do with it. I'm so glad they have each other.
