Is this Becky???


So when I got over the excitement of this month's Scrapbook Etc. being in my mailbox I took a second to look at the covergirl. For those of you who know my sister Becky... Doesn't this girl look JUST LIKE her kid pics! If this was a random picture in a box at home I would think nothing of it-- That's Becky! Everyone has a twin... this one is just young enough to be her daughter! Just thought I would share :)
PS... I dog-eared like every other page in this issue-- SO GOOD!!

Spring has Sprung... for a few days

We have been loving this spring weather! Hallie was out with her new bike. Reese, Hallie, Bentley & I have been out on walks, too! Can't wait for summer!

Hallie has even started her bug collection! Gotta get to work on my scrap project for Thursday!
