My Brother

hello all...

you must check out the layouts that were posted for the 1st butterfly crafts design team challenge. everyone's looked great! it was exciting to see what everyone came up with. mine is ok, but i was unhappy with the placement of the "friends" letters at the top. i didnt like that they overlapped the label...but i'll give it to those thickers...they stick good! haha! i didnt even press them down whatsoever and when i wanted to move them they were actually ripping the paper underneath...so, so much for that idea. does that every happen to any of you? you plan something out and then want to change it but it's too late so you just have to live with it?

anyhow. on sunday i created this layout. this picture was taken a few years back...it's one of my favorites of my brother, spenser, and i. i was home for college and we decided to go to the truck stop really late to have coffee and talk. he is so cool. but alas, our beloved truck stop in my hometown is no more...that is sooo sad. it was a staple of our high-school lives. (p.s. sorry for the glare in the full layout shot...i was having a hard time this morning with the lighting.)

and speaking of my brother, he somehow got involved with ultimate fighting and had his first fight this past saturday. i was scared for him, being as though he is my one and only baby brother. but thankfully, he made it out alive.
