All you need is colorful paper (I used $1 bin scrapbook paper from Target), scissors and glue. Oh, and an 8×10 frame.

April Favorite
First, I can’t believe we are going into May already! Wow, too fast.
Now, for this fabulous little guy below. We have moved across the country and are so lucky to be renting (wish my house would sell) next to a great family. Two out of their three children are the same age as two of mine. They play together great. Their daughter plays with my two daughters and is always keeping the peace. THANK YOU! So, great! AND the best part we get free babysitting for date nights!! I love it!
I was so excited to get this shot of their little guy. I love his eyelashes and blue eyes. I dreamed of snapping a picture of him since I met him (exaggeration but thought about it a few times). My children’s eye are dark (still beautiful) so blue is very exciting to me.
