So, yesterday morning, I went outside and just about jumped a mile when I shut the door, turned around and saw this:
That is the praying mantis in relationship to my son’s head. And he doesn’t have an overly small head or anything like that. It’s pretty normal sized. LOL
Cheese Mr Praying Matis dude. (or mrs?)
This next one, Pato knocked it off the door because he swears they can jump and fly, right? So, it was on my porch. 3 HOURS later, it finally made it here -
That’s the ledge beside my sliding glass door. I looked them up and I didn’t see anything about flying and jumping, did say they were really slow until they went to nab an insect then they moved with “ferocious speed”. And it said, some people kept them as pets. DO NOT put any ideas into Jordan’s head. LOL
Then this picture of Alyce was in my camera too, Pato took it, so I played around with it using Micheline’s Make me Bright (B&W) and Make me Pop Scripts on it.
I used Micheline’s Totally Bent Out of Shape Frames for these pics. I love frames. LOL

The preying Mantis is awesome! LOL. We had a huge one like that once and I so freaked. We watched her for a good while until she saw her next husband… LOL… Then I told the kids time to head back in the house. Sure did not want them seeing more of nature than they had to. They eat their mates. YUM!
Thanks for sharing your great work with the rest of us!
that mantis is beautiful!!!!!!! i think they are such amazing creatures
great layouts by your creative team 
OK thanks for my morning Scream….lol…..That is one huge bug!!
I wen to the tanning salon yesterday and while I was getting undressed looked down to see an Earwig about the size of my pinkie coming at me full speed! I’ve never seen one so big and I had to scream out loud, I hear the guy yelling at me “are you OK in there”….lol…
Your CT is Great! Love that one at the beach!
Thanks for the pretty papers!
Have a Great Day!
That was one huge bug! They’re actually quite good for plants as they eat aphids and other destructive insects. Thanks for the papers too!
I was watching Sesame Street while Nadya was nursing yesterday and saw an infomercial for soemthing called the ADHD roadmap. I thought of you and my mom immedidately. I checked out the site and it seems lefgit. The address is adhdroadmap dot com.
Alyce’s picture is very cute – she looks very inquisitive – and a little like she just got “caught in the act”! I love the surprised looks!
Have a fabulous Wednesday!
absolutely awesome Heather!
That would freak me out big time! Bugs are so gross and I especially hate the ones that jump!!! I love your CT layouts, they are FAB!!! Thanks for the awesome freebie, too!
I literally laughed outloud when I saw Jordan’s face in the background. First thing I saw was that big ass bug LOL! LOVE Harry Monkey lol.
Eww that thing was huge! LOL Thanks so much for the freebie, love the papers, awesome!
I’m so excited, I just got the coolest, dirtiest email from Diane aka carjazi! Can’t wait to dive in, you guys rock AND rule! Thanks thanks!
Oh, and… nice bug. I’ve always had a thing for praying mantises. They are some of my favorite bugs. As Shannon says, they are good for your plants. Gotta love bugs that eat other, nastier bugs.
Okay, dirt and bugs, I’m off to take a quick shower.
That’s a big mantis there! And great photo of your little one:D Soo cute! Awesome layouts too!!!
Have a great evening there sweetness~

I hate bugs! LOL. They always want to be in warm spaces. That means in your house or in your ear. I am gettin the chills just thinking about it…. but anyway thank you for the wonderful Papers. I love the textures.
