Sweet Baby Love

If you are looking for my DAT'S Designing Divas Blog Hop post, click here or scroll down one post. There is still time - you have until Midnight (EST) tonight, Monday, April 16th to complete the hop and qualify for the prize.

Our first challenge is to make a project with a scrapbooking theme - sure hope you can join us! This challenge is open until April 30th. We look forward to seeing your creations!

Now for today's post:

This is the inspiration photo for this week's challenge at Inspired By. I love it and it was just what I needed to kick the lack of mojo! Thanks Laurel!

I started off with something basic - I didn't even stamp on this one!

I would also like to share over at Little Red Wagon where the challenge is to use a spring palette.

WORD OF THE DAY:

I've decided to start something new, a bit of a personal goal I've set for myself. I am an avid reader and often come across words that I need to know more about. Sometimes the word is entirely new to me. Sometimes I understand the word in the context of the story perhaps, but would not be able to confidently use it in everyday speech. I have challenged myself to consult my dictionary more frequently to look up these words and it has been fun!

Of course, I encourage my boys, who are readers as well, to do the same, and would like to be a good role model in this respect. So, I am going to aim to post a new word every couple of posts or so, more to help me stick to my goal than anything else. If you happen to learn a new word, well that's a bonus!

Today's word

proponent - one who argues in favour of something.

I am a proponent of taking time for oneself to do such things as scrapbook.

Thanks for stopping by!
