The girls found a bunny while on our family photo shoot. It made cooperating for pictures so much easier. The bunny, however, may have gotten the raw end of the deal. Just as he thought he had evaded them they were back for another look.

My first project is this layout:

On one of my trips to Wyoming this summer I got to see the wild horses. They kept their distance (on a bluff across the river) but I was so thrilled to finally be seeing them. They were guarded by a magnificent white stallion. He had every reason to be proud of this beautiful herd!

They clay dried quickly then someone dropped it and now it will never look the same. Knowing my household I snapped a photo of it when it first came home. Now at least it's memory is preserved.

Paper:Bazill, Fancy Pants
