The journaling reads, Somehow I knew that getting that perfect picture for our official 'new daughter' announcement wasn't going to be easy! I tied the "It's a Girl" balloon to Kaylee's hand so I could try to get it in the picture, but she was convinced she needed to hold it herself. I wondered how long it would take before it would fly away. When it finally left us, Taylor said, "It's like Kaylee sent it up to Grammy in heaven." Austin thought about that for a moment and replied, "It's too bad she couldn't have put a note on it to let Grammy know she's here!" I smiled and told them, "I'm pretty sure she already knows..." We all stood and watched the balloon until we couldn't see it anymore...and it finally disappeared into the clouds.


Thanks so much for sharing your pages with me Leda. Reader's can see more of Leda's layouts and read all about her journey to adopt Kaylee on her blog, China to California: Journey to a daughter.

Wonderful touching story and great layout, thanks for sharing. Thank you for the template, I am fairly new to digiscrapping and use templates for ideas.
I love your sets "About A Boy". I have the birth to 18 months and am going to pick up the next set also.
My little boy passed away when he was 3 and I have been scrapping to preserve all the precious memories he left us, which are many. :-)
Thank you for all the wonderful sets and gifties you share.

Thanks for the amazing template!
Thanks for the template Misty.
I had tears in my eyes reading that LO! How precious is that memory? Thank you so much for sharing it with us and for the gift!
Those LOs have made me teary eyed...happy tears...;o) One DS and my loved-to-pieces DIL had to wait 14 years and 3 operations for DIL before they had a son...an absolute angel who definitely was worth waiting for...I am always so happy to hear stories such as Leda's.
Thanks a binch for the template...;o)
Thank you for sharing Leda's layouts. They are simple but yet gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing the template!
Misty, I was wondering if you would be willing to tell a new designer the steps to becoming a better designer. I have made 3 kits so far and have offered them for free on my blog. After this what is next. Can you sell directly from your blog or do you have to sign up with a store or be chosen? You always are so willing to share your experiences I thought that I would try and ask you if you would be willing to help me or others no what the steps are to becoming a great designer like you! Please feel free to email me at soccermom7975@yahoo.com, I would truly appreciate any advice you could give.
Thanks~Karie
Your blog header says it all...Always classy! Thank you. Janet

Wonderful story, thank you for sharing! Thank you also for the lovely template!
Aww - what a little angel she is!!! What a beautiful piece of journalling. It bought back a memory of a similar ballon incident with my daughter 11 yrs ago. So it's an inspirational piece of journalling also.
What an adorable little girl, and a great story. Thanks for sharing it with us. Thanks for the template. I love templates. I don't have much time to scrap, so they are a lifesaver!
