Loveliness, thy name be Naomi. 
Take a look at what she’s made!

[ Shapes | This Moment Captured (title+camera) / Frames (Sliders) / Banner (Borderlines #2)

Love everything about this…the banner, the layered frames, the photo…all of it.
(And I sort-a wanna have that ruler background she used too. ;) )

I would not consider myself to be ‘vintage’ in any fashion (no pun intended). Yet, my youngest daughter loves wearing my ‘vintage’ clothing from the 80s. What??? Thirty years can’t be vintage, can it?

Well, just like Jordan, Naomi has made something modern looking using something vintage–a photo of her and her brother at Easter in 1985.

[ Shapes | Bloom (easter) / odds AND ends (here+now) / This+That: Spring (bee) / All About You (me&) ]

 I love all the mix of shapes she used here….all the layers and such…they all look fabulous together!

Now Naomi…we will never be vintage…and we’ll keep telling ourselves that. Okay, maybe when I’m 80 I’ll call myself vintage. ;)

Our little Miss Naomi has been rockin’ the shapes lately.
Take a gander at what she’s made!

[ Shapes | Envelopes / For You (scallop edge envelope) / Borderlines 2 (lace)  ]

It is indeed wonderful.

I love the way she used the envelopes here.
And with the stitching?

adore.

Just makes me want to scrap all the more.
Maybe I’ll have some assemblence of an office next week?

A girl can hope, right?

The last big wall and ceilings will be plastered tomorrow.
Next, new moldings.

Then . . .  carpet. I’d much rather have the lighter shade, but the darker (medium) shade is much more practical  . . . curses. Dang me and my practical side. It still looks good. Can’t tell you how excited I am to get rid of the brown 30-year old carpet we have now.It’s been a long-time coming.

Once that’s all done I’ll be moving all my office stuff back into the space, but will have to wait for cabinets and my new desk. At least my stacks of office stuff won’t be in my front room anymore.

Getting very excited to get this done and all organized!

Little Miss Naomi is sharing a wee bit of love with us today before our ‘love’ month is over.  

[ Shapes | XOXO ('love you') / Feathers ]

Totally love her choice of patterned paper for the feathers!
gorgeous girl!

.  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  

and now, some

Today I get to (get to???) do my taxes. 
Oh the joy of it all.

March is Friday . . . in case you didn’t know.
Friday???

Slowly working on remodeling the downstairs.
Blinds have been out of the windows for a few days.
It’s been glorious with the morning light beaming in!
Makes me happy.

I don’t know how I’m going to work if I move my office for the remodel.
oh boy.

Still working on trying to simplify + find balance . . .
but I keep adding to my work load.
How does that happen???

Got cheated with my Sunday afternoon nap due to the creative
process party that occurred in my head when I laid down.
(soooo not fair)

Hmm . . . I feel a new class coming on.

Can’t wait for spring!
(so tired of snow)

I got my Christmas stuff down finally . . .
*ehem* like only a week ago.
(sad, I know)

Okay, that’s all the stuff I think I have in my head at the moment.
Best be getting all my tax stuff together now . . . procrastinating.
ugh.

Are you working on Project Life?
Been looking for some creative ways to do it?

Well, our little Miss Naomi has been busy working on her Project Life this year.
Check out her amazing pages!

 [ Shapes | Need Directions? ('love this') / Monthlies (January) / inFORMS (calendar + postcard) / twentyTHIRTEEN ('2013') / Life Additions #1 (weekdays) ]

Okay, can you say giddy?
totally love!

I love the way she combined  . . . well . . . everything!

amazing.

We have a special treat coming from Miss Naomi today!
Absolutely gorgeous!

[ Shapes | More Background Basics (diamond background) / Say What #2 (title) ]

I love the way Naomi did that diamond background! Sometimes a ‘harlequin’ design can be a really strong-looking element, but not on this page. Uh uh. It’s so soft and subtle. Mmmmm . . .  love it!

Before we get to today’s project, I just wanted to put out a little reminder about this going on . . . in case you didn’t see Monday’s post.

This is the time of year when our hearts turn to being grateful.  Grateful for what we have and who we have in our lives. It’s just natural with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays at hand. So of course now is the time take a few moments and create a page about the people you are grateful for like Miss Naomi did here:

[ Shapes | Giving Thanks (grateful) / Need Directions? (arrow tab) / Modern Nature (pussy willow) / This+That: Summertime (leaves) / inFORMS (post card) ]

I was amazed at how many shapes were on this page! Everything is so subtle yet put it all together and you have a page full of gorgeousness. And I love the post card image printed on kraft cardstock. Looks so old fashioned. And how Naomi added text to the arrow tab . . . and the vellum leaves? love.

So this is my challenge to you today:

Take a moment and right down ten things you are grateful for and why.

If you don’t do a page with it soon, at least you’ll have those thoughts ready to go when you are.
I’ll be making my list as soon as I press Publish. :)

And now, for a little flashback showing a couple fun things Nichol made last year!

And how about this one?

( For details on this, look HERE. )

Hmm . . . There’s that snowflake again!
