Lasting Memories Design Team - Simple Pleasures - Blog Hop

Good Sunday morning! I have some exciting news that I finally get to share with you today. I have been asked to be a part of the Lasting Memories Design Team! I am so honored to be part of this wonderful team and I am excited to work with this great group of ladies. We have a lot of fun challenges planned, so I hope you join in the fun.

Now on to the blog hop -

Hello and welcome to our very first challenge for 2015 at Lasting Memories! We're celebrating the new year and new Design Team with a blog hop. Super fun right?! If you're just starting the hop, be sure to start at Lasting Memories so you don't miss anyone - if you're last stop was Lasting Memories then you're on the right track!
Our challenge theme this entire month is "Life's Moments" and our first challenge is "Life's Simple Pleasures" .. we want to know what one of your simple pleasure's in life is. Chocolate? Coffee? Adorable children, pets or grandchildren?? SO many things to consider and we're excited to see what you create! What's my Simple Pleasure??? Here, let me show you!
 
Supplies used - Patterned Paper - Pink Paislee - Solstice, Heart Dies - Lawn Fawn, Lacey Circle Die - Spellbinders, wood veneer arrows - Studio Calico.
 
My simplest pleasure is my family - especially our granddaughter! After 13 years of no babies in the house, you forget how much fun babies can be. Being a grandparent is so much different than being a parent. I had always heard that while raising my own kids and never fully understood it until Ada came along, and I can honestly say it's true. I love getting to spend time with this little girl. She truly is a simple pleasure! And there is nothing sweeter than taking a nap with her and we do it every chance we get!

Your next stop is Tina. Go check out her beautiful blog and see what her simple pleasure is. When you're all done visiting the new Design Team, we really hope you'll have time to join the fun! All our challenges run for the entire month, so you have time to play! Thanks for stopping by today!
