… well, it’s a 30 Minute Thursday Challenge from Lain, but it’s Friday, and I’m just “a.r.” enough to not be able to type it.

This is a 12×12 layout of the boys from March 2002. The challenge was:

Use a vacation photo. Despite the snow covered ramps, this was a Spring Break vacation to visit my brother in Indiana. My husband warned me about the weather out there, but did I listen? Nooooooo.

Use a paper clip. Can you believe I actually had a yellow one laying around?!

Throw in some hidden journaling. Ok. It’s on the tag, behind the copy of a bumper sticker I picked up there – a wish for a mother’s sons to always live a life filled with pure joy and abandonment.

Since I had to photograph the layout, you can’t see Thomas’ expression – but I think it says it all.
