Feminine 2-Page Layout: Close To My Heart's "Lucy" Kit

Happy day before Valentine's Day! I hope you have big plans with your sweetie tomorrow. We did our big date this past weekend since Dawson has a basketball game tomorrow night and also due to the fact that I am feeding the basketball team tomorrow. Should be fun!

By the way, we went to see "The Vow" and "Man on a Ledge" this weekend and I loved them both.  Yes, we are movie lovers and a mini-movie marathon was our idea of a fun Valentine date. Yes, we are boring.  I'm okay with that. ;0)

Today I thought I'd share another project that I have created to go with the "Lucy" display I am making for several members of my team.  You can read about that in my last post.  Don't worry...their layouts don't have my photos on them.   The one you are seeing here is the one I created for myself.  It features photos we took the day before I left Chicago of my beautiful mom, my beautiful daughter, my beautiful granddaughter, and me.  Here are a few close ups. Also, check out the supply list below for a few explanations on how I used some products.

I LOVE Mondays because it is the day that we receive our weekly email from our missionary son, Tannon who is serving in Granada, Spain currently.  Along with today's email came a couple of photos. I love seeing how happy Tannon looks while spending these two years (only 7 more months!) serving the Lord in Spain.

I also wanted to share a couple of very cool photos of Dawson playing basketball this year.  We have a guy here in town that does amazing sports photography and he comes to the games and takes tons of photos. YAY, Mark Spencer! We mothers love you!

Well, that's it for today, folks. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day tomorrow.  Make sure to tell the people you love the most how much they mean to you!
