This weekend I bribed my kids to go outside and let me take some pictures. I had all this wonderful paper from the Playground I needed to do something with, but couldn't find any Wonderful pictures to use with it... Ice cream always gets them to do what I want, or should I say most of the time! some of the layouts I did 3 similar ones using the same picture, one for each of their books and one for my mom's calendar for Christmas.


I stole this layout idea from Tessa, thank you for the inspiration. I think I like yours better in the frame, but.....

Wow, two updates in two days!!!!!!!! Since it was a rainy crappy day yesterday I struggled all day to get my typing done and then decided to spend the rest of the day scrapping. I just did some odds and ends. I have pictures from Christmas, fall and Easter!!!!!! It is amazing how much more motivation I have to get something done when it is something I WANT to do!!!!!!!!

I love how this layout turned out with the Bobunny paper from the playground. I totally stole this idea from the Trendz magazine, but it was just perfect for the picture with Hayden and his preschool teacher. Those two just adore eachother, it is just like having another grandma. She would take him home in a heart beat and he would go with her no questions asked!!!! Although she might not adore him quite as much if she had to keep him for very long!!!!!

I made preschool books for Hayden's class. They turned out really cute and the parents loved them. Each book had pictures of the child, pictures of the child with the teachers, their hand print and poem and then each teacher wrote a note on a crayon note card, which I stuck in a 8 pack crayon box. Turned out cute, but glad they are done. I can't believe school is out now, I am not sure if I am ready for this or not, especially with all the rain we are getting my kids are going stir crazy!!!!!!! and therefore I am going crazy too!

I have created a monster out of my daughter!!!!!!!!! Sunday night I realized she was supposed to take treats on Monday since her birthday is in July and will obviously be out of school. So with limited time and ideas I ran to Family Thrift and bought Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies, brought them home and informed the kids "DO not eat them, they are for Haley to take to school." Haley goes out and looks in the bag on her way to bed and says "Mom, what are we going to do with them?" "What do you mean 'What are we going to do with them' we are going to take them to school and hand them out to your class". "No Mom, how are we going to decorate them?" So I quickly stamped happy birthday and punched a scallop and put it on there and she was tickeled so I chalked it up to a job well done and went to bed!!!!!
