Hi Everyone,
Well today will be a very very long day. I’m dropping Ethan off at school and then heading to work for 8am. I’ll probably be spending the whole day helping get everything set for the fundraiser tonight that starts at 5pm. Hopefully I get a minute to run home and freshen up before the party begins.
Tomorrow we are heading to the cottage to start painting and getting the place opened for the summer. I’m hoping between my brother-in-law and myself we can get the place painted in one day. I’ve got my fingers crossed…I’d love to have two whole days with nothing to do…except laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping…Oh now why did I go and starting thinking about that…
Anyway, yesterday I had the afternoon to play and worked on a layout of Ethan. He started taking piano lessons about two summers ago and we decided that after a years worth of lessons it was time to get rid of the keyboard that he was practicing on and get him a real piano. My favorite picture is of him leaning on the door watching the guys unload it…He was so excited and he plays the piano beautifully.
Here is the layout and a few pictures. I can’t believe how much Ethan has grown even from last year.
For the most part the layout is done with October Afternoon pattern paper. The music note paper is from Thrift Shop and the orange and white polka dots are from 5 & Dime…I also used a cream card stock for the base of the layout and a green for some accent.
That's a really cute layout.http://lorisartsyobsession.blogspot.com/

Congrats music man! Sweet layout! Alphabalious is my favorite font!
Don't feel too bad regarding your father's comments … In Junior High School my choir teacher asked me if I'd rather play an instrument 🙁 I still sing out loud anyway, ha, ha.Way to go Ethan! I'd love to hear you play on a video one of these days (hint, hint :)! I used to play the piano, but I've forgotten how to read music … The mind is slowly going!Lucy
Love the page and the ideas. My granddaughter has her piano concert in a couple of weeks so I'll get a few more great pics of her playing and all dressed up. Today I say a license plate with “P ano” Guess I could use that as a title too.
Great layout! It's wonderful to see a young man interested in the arts. I wish I could hear him play. Keep up the practice Ethan, maybe I'll hear you play some day!TFSJessica
