It's Thursday and you know what that means --- a new sketch challenge over at Sketches In Thyme!
This week we have a sketch by Helen Croft over at Scrap A Little.
If you have not been by her blog, you must take the time and visit her. Besides her wonderful sketches, she has a lot of great tutorials and a wonderful design team! We would love for you to play along with us at Sketches In Thyme. Please stop by our blog and link up your layout and see what my fellow Mavens have created!
I love the picture on my layout.
It is of my son and his two little friends back from 1991. We had gone on a long car ride and the three of them fell asleep. My son Jeffrey is the one with the blankie stuffed in between his legs. When he was little, blankie went everywhere with him. When I look at the picture it reminds me of little ducks in a row, hence the title I chose.
All of the papers I used on my layout are by October Afternoon. I did some stitching with my sewing machine, a little distressing and some inking.
I stamped the clouds on some cream felt, using some new stamps I just got from American Crafts.
I recently received two awards and I want to thank my wonderful friends who thought of me. The first is the Cherry On Top Award which Barb over at Crafty Girl passed on to me.
The second award is the Versatile Blogger which I received from Li-bee-ti, my friend from afar over at Creations With Love.
Thanks girls, you make me feel special!
Now on to the blog candy . . . My birthday is this month and I thought I would give away some blog candy. I was out shopping the other day and found these new Halloween paper pads by Die Cuts With A View. Love the paper, so bright and colorful. I threw in a bunch of goodies - stamps, a punch, ribbon, buttons and all sorts of embellishments!
August 23rd!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!
Your blog is really quite fabulous! In addition to checking out your home in blogland I wanted to thank you for the comment you left on the Paper Crafts blog. I'm glad to hear that motherhood has been wonderful for you and I look forward to my time with Cooper. I'm trying to enjoy every minute and not stress out about the fact that one day he'll be in his 20s and not need me any more. :)
Thanks and love, Brandy J.
