Our Boy Canvas

When we were in Florida on vacation, I stopped by a scrapbook store in Orlando that had several canvas' done. I loved them and as soon as I got home, I decided to make my own. Kevin had this picture of Taylor printed and we were having trouble finding a frame for it, so I saw it laying there and ran with it! I love it, I see many more of these in my future. This one is 18" x 24".

King of the Hoop

Taylor tried his luck at hoola hooping at Rockin' Ribs. He discovered he's pretty good at it and it's fun!

Rocket Power

Taylor got a baking soda and vinegar powered rocket for his birthday. This was the day of the first launch. Somehow I ended up covered in vinegar. What are mothers for?

Little Gym Performance

Dad came with us to the Cardinals game where Taylor's gymnastics team performed. Louie tried to eat Taylor's head!

Ta-da

This was a layout I did for one of his Little Gym performances at Cardinals Stadium. He had his best handstand ever that day!

Rock Star

These pictures of Taylor were taken after he decided to try my makeup on one day when I was getting ready. He thought it looked fun...and hey, he likes to paint...so this was the end result, him looking hilariously funny in blush and eyeshadow! I told him he looked like a Rock Star.

Cart Racing

Our next door neighbor has a go cart that he let Taylor drive around the cul-de-sac.

Gold Mine

We bought Taylor some mining rough at Meramec Caverns. This is him sifting through it and finding the minerals inside.

City Museum

This is a layout that I did of the kids at City Museum in St. Louis. This place is amazing. It is all recycled material that makes it up complete with an underground cave system. They loved it.

My Boy

Taylor loves to climb the rocks at Sequiota Park. This is him doing just that.

Artist

THese are pictures of Taylor and Nik at the corn maze painting their ghourds. They were VERY into it.

Explore

Last fall we brought Nik to the corn maze with us. They had a scavenger hunt and these are the boys as they hunt for clues.

Math Whiz

This is Taylor's easel that at the age of three, he filled with algebraic equations. Needless to say, this year he begins WINGS. :)

Boys Rule

This picture was taken when Taylor was having trouble with his kickstand on his bike. He got out the socket set and went to work.

Play

This was taken at the Japanese Gardens. Taylor saw this statue and just began reinacting Fish out of Water from Chicken Little.

It's Not Art if You Don't Get Dirty

This was taken at Artsfest last year. Taylor dipped his hand in red paint and made a craft. The best part for him of course was just getting messy and acting silly.

Dance Like No one is Watching

This was taken at a Sock Hop during Taylor's Kindergarten year at Field Elementary. He definately has the music in him. He will be starting hiphop this fall.

Discover a New Love

When we went to the French Trading Rendevous at Fort de Chartes in St. Louis, Taylor got this handmade bow and arrow. Grandma Diane bought him the matching quiver and he spent the next few days practicing shotting a target we put on a box in the backyard.

I used one of the Bazzill Cardstock with an edge and mounted it on cardstock and outlined it with a Signo White Pen.

Not Another Haircut

Sometimes we just don't have the time to make it to Cookie Cutters to get Taylor's hair cut when it starts to grow out, so this is a picture of me giving him an in-between cut. He HATES these...and they never turn out that great. But hey, it works. I liked the way this turned out with the dark black as the background against the bright colors

This Place is going to the Dogs

We had tons of pictures from ArtsFest last year, and I noticed that many of them were of Taylor petting the numerous dogs that were roaming around, so I decided to put this page together. I think it worked out nicely.

Themed 6" Scrapbooks

These books are covered and designed for a specific theme. They are 6"x6" and have 20 pages inside with page protectors. I sell these for $25 - $35 depending on how much goes into the supplies and the time required to put them together. I create new themes each week and these are currently for sale at Candles by Sonia in Galloway (it's connected to Firehouse Pottery). I will also be selling these (along with many other items) at the Fair Grove Heritage Reunion September 29 and 30th. I am also happy to accept custom orders for which there may be a slight additional charge.

I See Your True Colors

For this layout, I used a bunch of pictures that I had of Taylor doing colorful and artsy things. None of them really warranted a page on their own, but together...how perfect!
I used a variety of lettering in a variety of colors to make the title stand out.
