They make my heart soar...

....my children, that is!!!

Kurt had an outstanding flag football year. He led his team in defense the whole season and captured nine flags in one game. And, he was pretty good on offense, as well. In fact, the coaches were calling him, "the hands guy", (thus the title). He scored at least twice this season. I loved this photo. So, when I read that American Crafts was having a Autumn Week Challenge, I thought what better opportunity to sport, (pun intended), this favorite photo of a Fall sport. The challenge is up until Thursday. I linked the challenge. Everything on this layout, except the photo, some inks and white cardstock are American Craft products. The design is a Julie Bonner sketch.

Jason is soaring this year, in other ways. At two years of age, he had speech delays, and we came to learn that he is on the Autism Spectrum. I was in such denial, initially, because he is so extremely intelligent. Yet, fine motor, gross motor and social interactions have been a challenge for him. Jason has had specialized care since he was two, addressing his weaknesses. I can confidently say that he has narrowed the gap significantly from his peers in just the last year. He amazes me!

In this layout, Jason is flying a kite that his grandfather had for him in Nova Scotia. We are on Crescent Beach.

It uses all Pink Paislee elements, except for the title, stitching threads and base cardstock. Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.

Thanks for coming by. Have a marvelous week!
