Friends

I woke up this morning with a very sore back. Who knew canoeing would be so hard? I'm thinking some of that gardening probably made me more sore, but seriously if I would have known I would have taken some Advil.

I was able to make simple and clean scrapbook page tonight. I feel like I've been scrapbooking my Florida pictures FOREVER. So I'm sure you'll be glad to hear this is the last page! I'm ready to move on. I did finally use some of my Basic Gray Lemonade paper I've been saving in a 12x12 sheet.
 
 

My favorite thing about this page is the buttons. These are REAL vintage buttons that I happen to score at yard sale earlier this summer. Check them out:

Lastly, I finally picked out a photograph I wanted to order from Traveling Mama. There were just so many I wanted, and several that would play into my love of neutral decorating. If you haven't seen what Tina is doing check it out here. It's an amazing project. Plus the photography is 100% easy to get excited about.

Here is the photo I purchased from her shop (all proceeds are going to a school in Morocco):

First....LOVE those buttons!!!! I seem to have a button obsession lately...unfortunately, they are not ending up on my projects nearly enough for the amount I have. So, good for you for having those little treasures And for Using them!!

I also really like that pp....I have trouble using a full sheet and making it work, but it all balances well here. Another great piece is your vertical title! It looks like a great time had! :>

Hope your back eases up a bit soon. And hopefully, it feels like a good sore......you know, when you at least got something done or had fun to get the sore vs. just having it and wihtout a good reason......am I making any sense? Hope so.
