So this is the story of Moodle's Doo-Rabbit.
In fact, it actually started long ago (hhhmmm, about 3 years ago!) when Munchy was given a teddy-bear called Kaloo (it's really the manufacturer's name, but for lack of imagination it became the teddy's name) and she loves it. She loved it as a baby, she loved it as a toddler, she still loves it now.
In fact, it became so synonomous with Munchy that when Moodle was born, both sets of grandparents thought that it was only fair that she get one too. So she's kinda got two (I say kinda, because one isn't a Kaloo - it's just in the same style). And keeping with the theme, it doesn't have a name either. We just distinguish them by calling one a Kaloo Bear and the other Kaloo Rabbit (or Doo-bear and Doo-rabbit)
In the greater scheme of things I've made this layout about how Moodle has always been one who has enjoyed her comfort measures. She was swaddled longer than Munchy, she was given a dummy earlier than Munchy, she was given her Doo-Rabbit much earlier too. Maybe that's also a product of second-round parenting - we're a bit more relaxed about the 'rules'.
All of the products on this layout (apart from the alphas and the banner sticker) are actually digital elements that I've printed out. They're from Kitschy Digitals - I just love Danielle Thompson's style, and I credit her alone with turning me onto hybrid scrapping. I'm certainly not about to venture into the world of digital scrapping (yet?), but I am enjoying the hybrid side of life.

PS. If you get in really quick, there's actually a blog-hop happening at the moment starting at Jessica Sprague's. That's where I buy all my Kitschy Digital stuff, and right now if you hurry, you can go on the blog-hop and download some free digital goodies at every single stop (that's 33!!!!), including a mini-kit at Kitschy Digitals. But it ends Sunday night (their time) so you better go and do it right now!
