It's hard to explain how it made me feel. I was pleased. It put a smile on my face. It made me feel like maybe she's getting it. And for a moment I hoped she could understand the power in the book. When I was leaving to go she heard the door and came running over. I asked her what she was doing. She got this really embarrassed look on her face and said, "I was just reading some parts". I was so impressed that she had grabbed that book and took it outside to read in the warm sun. I was also impressed that the book she choose to pick up was the BOM. I hope this becomes a regular occurrence, even if it's a different book. I would love for her to find a love of reading and get lost in the worlds that are found only in our imagination...and of course those books that are built on truth and excellence.
This weeks project (project 7) I was busy making thank you cards along with the valentines that went out early in the week. I also started something else, but only got the painting done so that project with have to wait for next week.
Have a great weekend.

What a sweet picture. My heart melted for you as I read your words and saw the photo. Amazing. Also, your valentine card was incredible. I love your simplistic designer style!!!! So cute--and so thoughtful! Thanks! love ya too!
I'm proud to have been a recipient of your most recent "project". They are completely my style--minimilism. Though i respect the craft this is why, I think, I haven't gotten into scrapbooking--less is always more to me.
Priceless photo. I could just look at your photos all day long.
The picture of her holding a little pet shop (I think) to mark her place in the book is adorable! You truly have a gift for capturing those amazing everyday moments. Love seeing your projects unfold!
I love the pictures! How cute to find her reading in the sun. The idea of that really gives me spring fever.
I can't wait to see your next project. It looks very cute!
How do you get those pictures? My kids have camera radar or something because I never catch them at anything- and this was a really awesome thing to catch!
Love the pictures of her reading scriptures--priceless. Good luck with all of your upcoming projects. Thanks for the sweet Valentine. So simple yet so elegant!
Love that you sieze those photo opportunities! You must just walk around with your camera around your neck! (?)
Can't wait to see what your next project is! -
I love that you captured those pictures without her knowing. So sweet.
Your card looks great. Can't wait to see what you're up to next!
as always SUCH uplifting thoughts/words and most of all beautiful pictures....
Oh, a perfect moment to capture. I agree - I so dearly hope that my children get lost in and appreciate the worlds available to them in a library of books. She picked a good one to start with!
amazing amy...you must be doing something right! what a tender moment. so glad you were able to capture it!
i cant imagine the joy you must have felt to witness bella reading the book of mormon... she is growing so fast!
we also recieved your darling valentines card and the book for estee... so thoughtful of you and all of the cards were adorable. she already loves the book!
thanks so much!
Great projects, but an even better experience with Bella. She seems like such a sweet kid. How cool that she decided to read The Book of Mormon. I can definitely learn from her example.
