This week’s word is: Cherish

1 a: to hold dear : feel or show affection for <cherished her friends>

b: to keep or cultivate with care and affection : nurture <cherishes his marriage>2: to entertain or harbor in the mind deeply and resolutely <still cherishes that memory>

This word can be used in so many ways. I love how this word sounds when you say it and how it conjures up such sweet thoughts and memories. Memories that I …… cherish!

The following layout I did for The Scrapping Bug. It is of my sweet, precious niece, Chloe. I knew right away what I was going to do with this layout. I wanted to keep it fairly simple to showcase just how wonderful her blue eyes are! I used the word, cherish on the photo itself. I love the Cosmo Cricket rub-ons. They go on like butter and you don’t end up scratching your photos!

Beauty is defined as…..

• Beauty is a characteristic of a person, place, object or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology and culture. As a cultural creation, beauty has been extremely commercialized.
