It feels so good to have created three layouts in the past week. I guess there were a lot of layouts created in the last few months of last year for Craftsy, but I can't share them here, so it didn't quite feel properly documented. So it feels good to be back blogging and sharing my pages.

My layout share today is about a family hike we did over Christmas break with my brother, sister and nieces and nephews. I really love winter here in AZ. Lots of cool air and sunshine. Perfect hiking weather. We did a fairly easy hike that was about 2.5 miles. I will admit that I could feel all of the fudge, cookies and brownies that I had eaten in December weighing me down. Not cool. Thankfully, the delicious temptations are no longer around and I'm back to exercising and eating better.

The center photo on the page is one of my favorites from the day. Hannah spotted a heart shaped cactus and wanted me to take a picture. I love that she was paying attention to the cool details in nature!

Hope you enjoy MLK Day! I'm looking forward to relaxing and finding something fun to do with our kids.

Exploring South Mountain (Scrapbook Circle Sketch)

A couple of weeks ago Audrey went to a birthday party up on South Mountain in Phoenix. It was a really cool party location, but quite a bit of a drive from our house. The rest of our family went to dinner nearby and then had extra time before the party ended, so we spent some time walking around and exploring.

We had great city views from up on the mountain, but sadly the pictures didn't capture it. We were on the lookout for snakes and luckily didn't have any cross our path!

This is the perfect time to be living in Arizona and we are soaking up all of the outdoor time we can before the months of intense heat sets in. It was great to have some extra time and get in a little mountain exploring!

Today a new sketch by Diana Fisher debuted on the Scrapbook Circle blog and I used the sketch as a starting point for my layout.

You can create a layout with the sketch and be featured on the Scrapbook Circle blog in a couple of weeks. Details are here. 

Hope you have a great weekend! We have the school fundraiser carnival and will hopefully be spending some time at the lake too.
