Remember this picture?

I think I've posted this moment once or twice already. Ava has pulled all of the folded clothes out of the closet on more than one occasion. SO, being the calm, patient-scrapper Mom that I am, I decide to snap pictures at moments like this knowing that they will turn into scrap layouts someday.
This layout {click on it to enlarge it if you can't see all the details} was done as part of my submission to the Fancy Pants Design Team contest a couple of weeks ago. Scrapping and submitting layouts during the busy holiday season is yet another reason why some of you didn't get a real-life Christmas card/picture this year. Now that the calls have gone out and I didn't get a phone call from Fancy Pants, I get to post my scrap pages online. That's half the fun of making pages, I think...sharing them!
So, thanks for all the nice comments and emails about sick kids. We've only had one 'sick moment' so far today (and NO, I didn't snap a picture of that to scrap at a later date...I do have some things in my life that I like to keep private). Things are looking better, and my laundry baskets are empty, for a brief moment or two anyway. I love being caught up on laundry! You know what else I love??
Chocolate Bread Pudding with Spiced Whipped Cream.
Chip baked one up for Christmas. I DID take pictures of that...and we enjoyed every bit of that dessert- even the leftovers the past few days. I will attempt to post the recipe here- so if you are looking for a dessert to ring in the New Year in a really great way...well then this would be my top pick. Scrap pages, laundry and dessert. Yep. Things are nice and normal around here today. =)
