R.Y.L.E.E.

Well, this is page #3 in Rylee's book! I fiddled with this page for two days until I was finally satisfied with the outcome! I used a template from Grow with Love: Kids by Sara Gleason and Crystal Livesay and it's
Prompt #3: Word Play.

The goal was to create a page using the letters in your child's name to describe them... an acrostic. The lists below each circle was an afterthought because I realized with the elements and papers, it was really hard to see the actual words.

WOW!! This page got me the first ever GSO on the Gallery Standouts Blog!

What's in a name?

This is my 2nd page using the ]Grow With Love: Kids Edition templates & prompts! I used Prompt#2: What's in a name. This is a great set of prompts... for me especially because I haven't scrapped anything, well almost anything, of my daughter's first year. I've may have scrapped the photos, but not the story behind them! I'm excited to finish and one day print them!

When we found out you were going to be a little girl we went to work searching for a name. We didn’t want a common name so we made sure to stear clear of those on the most popular lists. We found your name in a book and we knew instantly it was the one! ooks, we say Rylee. Of course they had 3 or 4 other spellings of it, but this one, we like. It was different! Your middle name, is my middle name. That was your dad’s idea! You have Mommy & Daddy’s name!

To be a Mommy

This was a tough-- yet-- easy page to complete. I used the Grow with Love- Kids Edition- Template 10- {{Prompt #1: Remember... did you always?}} which is by Sara Gleason and Crystal Livesay available @ TLP.

When I was a little girl, of course I knew I wanted kits. I wanted 3:: Boy, Girl, Boy! And then, in high school, after having seizures for almost 10 years, I thought that it would be horrible of me to bring a child in this world that could possibly have epilepsy and have to deal with that disease forever, as well. So, at 16 I decided that I would not have kids.
Then, you came along. Miss Rylee Lynn, you’ve changed my life forever! Before you, I was dead set on not having kids, but now I don’t know what I would have done without you! You, and your dad, are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was blessed to have been seizure free all during pregnancy and so far, there have been no signs of seizures in you. I pray that it stays like that forever!
