    We took the twins to the island for the first time to let them experience the sand and surf. 7 of 8 loved the sand and took to tasting it while 8 of 8 charged right into the waves--


  • octamom Posted 459 days ago

    Thanks--it was originally 6 of 8's and now 7 of 8 is sporting it!

    Beautifully done. Love the daddy-son photo, and the way you coordinated colours. The whole feeling of the book is so gentle and peacefull and nostalgic. Love it :)

    Your kids are all so cute and adorable. They seems so happy and are having a great time. I like you soft colors and the layering in your pages. Cute kids-awesome pages

    Love it! My beach babies also started off eating the sand and kicking at it, but it didn't take long before they just headed right for the sea. They are discovering a whole new world, and it shows in their beautiful little faces of joy!

    Somehow I missed adding you to my friends list, so I didn't realize you had published recently! I'm adding you now, so I can TRY to keep up with your artful creations!

    This one is beautiful, both in pictures and words! (Your ballet card and "Measure of a Man" are also incredible!)

    Thanks, too, for visiting "The True Story of Mrs. J." It's kind of a hodge-podge for my students but was fun to create.

    Not sure what's going on with my other blog. I thought I had made it public recently. At this point, there's not much to read, just some vacation updates Hannah and I posted and my experience as a volunteer for a CDC study. Future "to-do" list will include a Web site for professional writing.... Key word: future!

    By the way, have you ever submitted an article to, or been published in, a woman's magazine? Check out the "goodreads" section of Good Housekeeping. They actually post blogs, and your voice would be perfect for the magazine!

    Take care...

    I was so pleased to see a new blog on your page! This one, like all the others, is awesome! I continue to stand in awe of your use of the opacity tool for the photographs - some of them made large almost as a background. Nice job!


  • MrsPeel Posted 457 days ago

    I always love it when I get a message telling me you have published.....

    brilliant, beautiful,straight to the heart :)
    Love it!!!!

    Question...How did you make the picture of your son blue on page 6? I just love the affect and want to try it.


  • Miruspeg Posted 453 days ago

    Hello octamom!
    What a beautiful experience for the twins and to see the joy on their faces is priceless!
    Also so pleased you have a beautiful new camera, I can't wait what you produce next as your photography has been brilliant to date!
    I have been following you on your blog and I am amazed at your wonderful storytelling.
    Take care always

    Hello! I just wanted to pass along the instructions for importing youtube videos... I think I read somewhere that you had questions on how it's done????

    1. Go to the youtube website... locate a video you'd like to attach to your scrapblog, then copy the URL.

    2. Click on VIDEO on the left-hand side of the builder, then click on 'get video'. Click on 'youtube', then paste the same link as above (the URL you saved), then click on grab video.

    Now the video should appear under the VIDEO tab to the left of the builder screen. Simply click on it and drag it onto your screen.
