Stuck . . . at the pool.

It's coming up to the second anniversary of living in our house, so it was high time to document how important our pool was in that first summer after we moved here. 

I'm showing you two different stories here, both using sketches from Stuck?! this month.

Here's the first sketch:








and here's how I used it:




The hidden journaling talks about how my daughter struggled with the concept of moving house, but loved having a pool and spent hours playing in it. (she still does!)



The next sketch:





and my take:



The journaling (which I haven't added yet) will talk about how important the pool was to our whole family that first summer, especially as we were spending hours fixing up our old house to sell, and really appreciated coming home to just relax!!
