Now onto my projects for the hop -

If you know me, I have boys. Everything about me is boys. Even the two dogs are boys ... I'm surrounded by them and can't get away :) I must admit that I love it though. Nothing like snuggling with my boys!

Nothing says BOY to me more than Pirates, Cookies, Trains and Smiles ..... for that I'm sharing some of my personal layouts capturing each of these fantastic traits of my little ones.

First, we have PIRATES .... YO HO!

Who could be afraid of this cutie?

What Boy does not like a good homemade cookie? Especially when they get to lick the bowl?????

Now for the TRAINS. This layout is from the year that we first discovered trains. It's been years and my boys have yet to tire of the wonderfully complex world of trains. The more trains around the happier they are. I do not see this fascination ending anytime soon and fully expect it to carry over to adulthood.

And Finally SMILES ... the type of smile that makes you chuckle and your heart melt a little bit.

The kind that you want to capture in a box that you could somehow open every now and then when you need a pick me up.

There are some fabulous project for you to see from Day one of the hop ... If you want to check out Day 1 of the hop CLICK HERE.
