OK so I missed Friday by a long shot so you will get a couple in a row, but I have a great excuse! My Mom and Dad were here spoiling me and that is the best excuse!

I even got to scrap Saturday evening with 3 friends uninterrupted and the girls had a blast at build a bear getting witch costumes for their bears and cinnamon pretzels for fun.

I managed to get a couple cards and layouts done here is one, I love the colors on this one!

Here is another, these girls are just way too cute!

All in all a very lovely weekend! John got lots of study time and the girls and I got lots of pampering from Grandma and Grandpa.

Lori has been bringing home jokes from Kindergarten every day so i thought I would add my favorites here. Just so you all can share in the Kindergarten chuckles.

What does a mother ghost say when her kids get in the car?

Bookle Up!

Or how about, What do you get from a shivering cow?

A milk shake!

These will have you all checking in regularly I know! You’ll be waiting on the edge of your seat for the latest and greatest of Kindergarten humor! They make me giggle so I thought I would pass them along.

Happy Thursday!

Well Friday is here and I must admit I am glad to see this one arrive. Nothing major and I tackled it all pretty well but today I am a little tiered. Mostly lack of sleep, with John away I do not sleep well, but he is home yip skip! I have dealt with a couple of school issues and a swimming issue this week, none huge or life threatening, but well being threatening and just added that edge of stress tackling them here on my own.
So for the good stuff. Here is our beautiful wildflower garden. The picture does not do it justice. Who knew you could get this from a box of seeds just poured out and raked in? Sara announced this morning that she was excited to go to school today, a first since the first day of school this year, woosh, I think we rounded the bend. Lori is going to get bumped up into the older classes at swimming so I can throw them both in the pool in the same time and she is getting a lesson that suits her better. And John is home, hmm did I already say that?

Here is some of my creativity from the week, the first is Easter shots. This is in the lot that used to be empty across the street from us. These two would hunt for hours. Much fun!

And here is from the weekly challenge at the Apron Strings site. We were to use a die cut sheet as our base paper, so the blue you see behind the red and white edged paper is not attached. I LOVE how this turned out and it just fell together really quickly.

No plans for this weekend other then John counting down to boards in 6 weeks and hiding out at Pannera, and Starbucks. We are well! I will probably update here as my friend Gab gives me reports on her son so those of you who want to continue praying will be in on his hopeful progress.

Have a great weekend all and hug a friend! They deserve it!

Here are two of my latest creations. Both are based on challenges. And both are from new photos. This first one is Sara’s first day of school and I was challenged to use a sketch. I adapted it quite a bit but like the results.

Here is another fun one. This photo is from the same day but taken right after Sara yanked her second front tooth out. Show no fear! She just yanked it! And believe me it was NOT a dangler. She looks awesome with her big gap!

Not much action here, we have been battling the flu so lots of Tylenol and sudafed for us and TV time. We hopefully are on the mend and praying that Lori manages to miss it.

Have a great weekend and enjoy an extra day all of you who are enjoying one!

OK so a little behind on the August challenges and probably not catching up. This week there were several projects involved, make a card, make a page and sadly I did not have the time. however I did have the time to make this!

Sorry I had to remove the image here it is going to be published in the June issue of Scrapbook.com.

and this

And celebrate my Sara’s B-day like this!

So it has been a most amazing week. I also played around with a playlist so you can listen to music while you are here but that is a work in progress. So check that out a little later!

Happy weekend all!
