The other day I'd just finished a layout and had all the scraps and bits and pieces lying around on my dining table. So when I saw Julie's post about the Stuck?! bonus sketches this month, and I saw this sketch:
I thought.... hmmmm.... and within an hour I had the bones of this page in front of me:
He's such a funny little thing. The things he comes out with!
Last week he had a casual day at school. The kids had to take a gold coin donation, and the money they raised was going towards an orphanage overseas. I asked Jamie if he knew what an orphanage was and, without going into too many details that might distress a small five year old, we discussed that it was a place where kids lived when they didn't have parents. He thought about that for a while, and then turned to me and asked "so, are they going to be able to buy some parents with the money we give them?". His expression was so earnest and he looked so concerned that maybe the money they were raising might give these kids the wonderful ability to purchase some parents. Nawwww. The way that kid thinks. It warms my heart.

Love what you have done with this sketch. It makes me a little sad when my eldest stopped playing with the girls so much. The youngest still doesn't seem to notice. Love the way kids think tho. We would all love to buy the children new parents if we could :D
heheee - nice work kathie! ;) i love that you have used the paper strip edge for journaling! It is so you... and i just love that you have put your heart into it {as always}... and yep, my boys are real boys, but sometimes, so are my girls!! esp when it comes to sport and competing. Just goes to show, there is no hard and fast rule! thanks so much for playing along! :)) xx
Oh he is a sweetheart! I'm so glad that you saw that sketch, your layout is absolutely gorgeous. Dear little fellow, I love the way he see's a problem and comes up with a straight-forward solution, that will take him a long way in life!
I love this KAthie. The paper reminds me so much of 70's bday cards! Totally cool!
Kathie, this is and outstanding LO! Thanks for sharing!
That is truly adorable Kathie!! As far as boys and girls playing, Ethan (no 3) does not adhere to that scenario AT ALL. In fact he is ALWAYS talking about the girls he plays with at school, so someone forgot to teach him that lesson! LOL!
Connor still doesnt really notice, he will paly with girls and boys equally... even though hes the same age as jamie, he is still quite delayed for his age...... love what youve done here,
Such a cute page! I absolutely love your style. How do you get the paper to be so perfectly distressed around the edges? What a fun sketch to work with also! Gorgeous :)
