It's the Weekend!

I'm up and at 'em early this morning. Jess is at Tony's this weekend so we're making the trek to Dover Saddlery before we meet up with him to return her saddle. Thank goodness it's under warranty...who knows how much it would cost to repair the stirrup bar!

After our hour there (I'm sure there are lots of other things she "needs"), I'm headed to Let's Dish. Tony is picking Jess up there. Afer I dish, I'm going to stop in at my grandfather's while I'm in town and take him the kids' school pictures.

Long day on the road but all things that need to be done.

Hopefully tonight I'll feel motivated to scrap. If I keep sharing old pages here without making new ones the page party will be over before I know it!

Here's today's layout. I was so happy to find this paper to match Jessica's suit perfectly. It was the one time I specifically looked for paper to match photos. Pictures taken at our beach.



Until next time...

Haircuts and Birthdays

Actually those are both singular.

Sophie isn't going to school today, not feeling well, so I have to drive both this morning and this afternoon. Puts a bit of a cramp in my style today. That extra hour on the road makes a difference! But the good news is...I get a cut and color today. The color is no big deal, I'm on my regular schedule for that, but the cut will be dramatic. I've been letting my hair grow, and grow and grow, and it's time to whack it off! I'll try to get a decent picture when i get home and show it off.

Today is also Jonathan's birthday. Nothing too celebratory on the schedule but we'll have dinner tonight and I'll make apple dumplings per tradition. I bought him the new Warren Buffet book he wanted and might try to figure out something else today (though I have no clue what). He's got a heavy day at work today, bigwigs down from Wilmington, so he'll need a relaxing evening at home tonight.

I'll leave you with a couple pictures of Claire and Sophie taken at Punkin' Chunkin' this year. They are such good friends! Hope she's feeling better soon.



Until next time...

Lots to do and More Pages

I've finished the prep for Belina already and have my errand list ready to go. The rest of the week is pretty stacked up so I need to stay organized. Today I have to get pet food, we're out of all 3 kinds, drops some things off at the thrift store, go to the post office, look for some new jeans (though this probably wont happen) and hit the bookstore for a birthday present for Jonathan. Shhh, don't tell. Then I pick up Claire from school early for a doctor's appointment. It's just her regular yearly visit so it should go fairly quickly.

Here are the other 2 girls with their Disney face paint pages:





It's a good thing I had Dana's help with titles on these...one was hard enough!

I'm off to get breakfast. Have a great day! Until next time...

Lazy Day

I was so inspired and motivated about things in general yesterday and it all went down the drain today. It wasn't a total loss around here though...I got all the laundry washed, dried and folded and watched a movie we've had from Netflix for ages. It was Into the Wild and I *loved* it. I've been putting off watching it because it's 2 1/2 hours long but it was totally worth it. If you haven't seen it you should check it out. I also made a few phone calls that HAD to get made. Found out the Jessica's saddle is under warranty (the stirrup bar broke and it's only 14 months old) and not only are they going to cover repairs but they just might replace the entire saddle. Not a bad deal!

We're about to leave for the barn for Claire's lesson. Wanted to post another of those layouts that have been sitting around for a while. You'll see two more along the same lines as this...each girl got their face painted and thus a page to remember it by. This one is Hannah.



I think those butterflies are so pretty and compliment the art on her face perfectly.

Enjoy the rest of your day. Until later....

Scrapping again!

I've been in a sort of groove lately and enjoying myself with this hobby again. I finished a page today that I only started yesterday and just might even start another one tonight! I've done a few pages over the past several months but haven't been scanning or posting. I wasn't planning to bother with that again but decided today that I might as well just do it. So I gathered up all the pages I've done this year, scanned and resized. Not going to post them all at once, and might not even post ALL of them, but it's good to have them backed-up anyway in case tragedy ever strikes.

Turns out I've actually done 31 pages this year. And have 5 more that are really close to done but need some finishing touches. Scanned 15 today..what a chore that was!

So here's the first I'll post. I finished this one yesterday. It's bright and busy (Disney pages usually are) but I like it.



Finally used one of those Maya Road sheer journaling spots. I love them but haven't been able to figure out how to use them until this page! Yayy me.

Claire and Macy want to make more stickers (using my Xyron) but I'm out of tape. Sounds like a good enough reason to head to Micheal's! So I'm off.

Until next time...
