Sand + Sun = Fun-SOUS



 
I'm probably sitting happy and warm on the Beach some where in Florida as you lovely ladies are viewing my layout..LOL
sorry to be so cruel..LOL :O)
And speaking of beaches in Florida, these photos are of my daughter and I back in the summer of 1993, when we still lived in Palm Beach Co, Florida.. I was very pregnant with our eldest son Aaron and we decided to go to the beach with my mom and her friends (not pictured)..
My dd was very scared of the water, but got brave and ventured in after a whole lot of trying to talk her into it.  :O)
Well, aaaaaaaanyway, SOUS is having its Friday reveal again today, we did not have a sketch to work with this week, instead we were challenged with a "Summer Inspired!" theme..
I had so much fun designing and putting together this fun little layout..
I hope you like it as much as I do and I hope it inspires you to join in on the fun this week and get those summer photos scrapped..
