It's Just Smashing..... Simply Smashing!!!

So quite some time ago,
my son asked me to do a scrap book for him
of the items he had on his door when he lived here.

He is now 20 and no longer lives at home,
and I have pondered and pondered exactly how I should do this for him, 
well I decided a Smash Book would be just the thing.
And since there are lots of pages in Smash Books,
I have been able to add LOTS of pictures and extras to his book
along with things that were on his door.

I am determined to get this done by the end of the month.
It is quite doable.

And I used a lot of my goodies from my CKC for February,
and I am adding this to LLL (Layout Love Linky) over at the sweet 
Ashli's blog over at the Purple Mailbox.
Please do check her out.
She is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!




He LOVES bottles,
so this is just a lovely page for him.


Yes, he made the paper several times 
over his HS Cross Country seasons.


And oh I got this little starburst
on a page and I used that little kite stamp
along with washi and twine,
and this adorable Kindergarten pic of my wee-babe.


He is gonna be so surprised,
this is a thank you card his
5th grade teacher gave him
for some goodies he gave her on Valentine's day.


And this boy has a very special relationship with his grandma.
They got their hair cut on the same day,
so they had to document it.


And oh do they have fun together.
I mean seriously.....
these two are all kinds of FUN!!!


Yep, there is that fun kite again,
alongside another fun stamp "Enjoy the Journey"
indeed.


This is me a few years ago on Mother's Day.
He takes me to a fun new to us
restaurant.
Fun!!!


This is something he had on his door.....
I am loving adapting these treasures to his book.
It is simply Smashing!!!  =)




Me and my boy at his Graduation Party.
Precious Memories indeed!!


And this is a LO I wanted to add to this post
because I am linking up to LLL.
I just love this one and this boy.
He is definitely a trip....
in a really good way!
=)


Thank you for coming and visiting me today.

I hope you have a 
Blessed and Beautiful,
Crafty Kind of Day ~~
