Simple Pleasures - Artful Delight

Happy Monday everyone! I am so excited to share my Artful Delight layout this week. I love these Authentique papers from the Delightful collection that were included in the kit this month.
I think this is the first layout I have made of myself. There are a few reasons for this... There are very few pictures of me as I am always the one taking them and I really love scrapping layouts of my kids. My friend Denise took this photo. She did not do any scrapbook layouts of herself either. After she died, all of her families memories of her were in a box. To help her kids remember what a wonderful Mom they had, I and some scrappy friends have been working to rectify that. I thought it was time that I started scrapping some pics of me too. I want my family to have something to remember me by (not that I plan on dieing anytime soon).
Here are some closeups so you can see the other gorgeous things in the kit...

Now I have to share what I did this past weekend!!
 Yup, that's me at 13,000 feet jumping out of a plane for the first time!! I was coerced into it. My son wanted to do this for his 18th birthday. Well my sister is turning 50 in a couple months and her husband signed her up to jump with Trenton too. She called me and told me I had to jump with her, so I did. This is my sister (she got the deluxe package with awesome video).
Here is my son, Trenton...
I have to say though, that my favorite part was not the free fall, but floating down after the parachute opened (and I knew I was not going to die, lol). It is amazingly quiet up there. Here I am coming in for my landing...
We did this at Skydive Twin Cities. Its located in Baldwin, Wisconsin. I would highly recommend the video package. Totally worth it just for these awesome photos. I definitely need to find some scrapbook paper for these now!! 
Have a great week everyone!!

  2. Marcia, such a beautiful picture! and amazing layout, love these colors! to create LOs with your own pictures is worth only because it's pleasant to dive into those memories. love to scrap my own pictures which was taken while it was much fun or with other deep feelings.
    wow, you are brave, Marcia! your kids should be proud of you :)
