Look I did it...

It's week 4 over at CSI ( http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com ) ....  and oh what a challenge...color and embellishment choices that I would never have made for myself.... and just as importantly.. a fun and relaxed group of folks....so head on over and play along...

As I looked over the layout suggestions...I immediately thought of these photos that I had taken of Liam last summer... right after his 4th birthday... when he received his new Roller Blades and safety Gear...

He just HAD to do it all by himself!!.. and you know what.... he did!! hee hee
