I managed to squeeze a few quick moments (while shuffling between the needs of the two boys!) to make this page for Joash. Oh yes, I think I haven't mentioned that we've decided to call this one Joash. We didn't expect to have pronunciation problems with this one (believe me, the name we picked before this one was WAYYY harder to get right), but in case you're not sure, it's pronounced "jo-ash". And it means "fire of Yahweh". WOW. Strong name. Why we named him thus is a saga worthy of another blog entry. Or a scrapbook page. Stay tuned.

Please excuse the rotten picture - it was hard to get the shot to line up straight... I was working on a time constraint!

And here are a couple of other cool layouts (if I may say so myself! :-)).

Time, time! I need more time!

Oh, and an update on the last entry - I just received my layout back together with a complimentary issue of the magazine. Oh, how I LOVE receiving packages in the mail! July's issue is so so fabulous - lots of great project ideas (apart from scrapbook layouts) - and I think I might be receiving their special issue "30-Minute Pages" (2 layouts for me in there) in a few days time. How very very COOL! CK rawwwkss! Now they've got me gushing 16-year old. Geez... so un-glam for a mother of two.

wow bren, there's just no stopping you hey? simply great! wished i had things to scrap about too.

Brenda, I just love your style. You blend paper and computer journaling so well. Every page looks so simple and elegant... you've got me wanting to try and expand my computer generated titles and journaling. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great layouts Bren! Glad to see you're back. And great name for number two too!! There's so much meaning in the name. Pray Joash will always burn with God's fire. See you in a week!

Great page for Joash. Just love the "we've been expecting you". Might have to lift this phrase... I'm 7 months with babe #3!
