{top 10 of 2009...

I was checking out Robyn Werlich's blog and she is inviting everyone to share their top 10 layouts/projects from 2009. So...here's mine....

this one because i just love the pic of us...


the circles were just so much fun to do...


love this pic of the boys...


it was fun to do a girly page...and this was the start of my woodgrain obsession...


another fun summer day with my hubby...


this one cause the kiddos look so little in these pics and our house has changed so much since then...


again more circles...and my way of sayin thanks to my hubby


hello misting...i think i'm in love...


this was fun because aaron got involved in helping me plan this layout and we laughed at how many trucks we've had since we've been together...


...and this one because it was my first page about our growing family and what's to come in 2010...


Don't forget to head on over to Robyn's blog to share your top 10!
Here's to many more creative days in 2010!!!
