In Memory

A beautiful life
that came to an end,
he died as he lived, everyones friend.
In our hearts a memory will always be kept,
of one we loved,
and will never forget.

It's hard to believe that it's been three years today that you were taken away.  You are forever in our hearts and minds.  We miss you.

Softball

My daughter had two softball games Saturday.  First, it is hot as heck and silly me wore jeans.  Thought I was going to melt out there.  I didn't realize it was going to be 87 degrees.  It had been cooler during week....next time check the weather.

Anyway.......I'm so proud of my daughter.  She started playing last fall, then spring and again this fall.  So I guess that's three seasons.  Saturday, she hit it and wow, it went high and far.........it was the winning game ball!!  So far their team is number one in the league.  Woo hoo!!

She's had game balls before, but today, just wow!  I think it's her best hit ever.

Here is my girl in action.

Mischief

It's been a busy weekend.  My daughter had two softball games yesterday that were back to back.  First one was at 9:30 and the second game at 11:30.  They won both games, yea!! 

I'm finally sitting down now and working on some CT layouts.  Here is one I created the other day using Oh Boy by Daybreak Scraps.  This is my youngest and he's always up to something.  Just look at the expression on his face.




Here is a layout of my daughter using Over The Rainbow by Valarie Ostram.  I love the colors of this kit.




Now I need to get busy cleaning and then relax with some scrapping.

The day ahead....

It's hump day, so the week is about over.  At least I get to leave work early today.  My daughter has a dentist appointment then a softball game at 6:00.  They rocked at the last game winning 13 to 1....woo hoo.

Sneak Peek

Check out these awesome sneak peaks by Daybreak Scraps.  On Friday Elemental Scraps will be having their $1 sale and you can pick up these for a dollar each.  How cool is that?

Weekend

Well, the weekend is pretty much over.  Back to work and school tomorrow.  Oh fun!  At least it's a short week.  Yea!  I'm in serious need of a vacation.  Need to see how much vacation time I have left at work.

Today the boys and I went to a park for some fun.  First we had lunch out there and enjoyed the beautiful weather.  I took Johnathan's training wheels off today.  We took the bike to the park and he tried to ride it.  He needs more practice and needs to learn how to balance.  As soon as I let go, he went for a few seconds then stopped.  He'll get there.




Afterwards he went for a walk in the woods for an hour.  Good exercise.  It was busy on the trails today.  Lots of people walking, playing in the creek or walking their dogs.




Today I got one layout done of my youngest.  The kit is called Happy Go Lucky from Daybreak Scraps.  I asked the kid to smile and this is what he gave me.  I rarely get a good picture of that kid anymore.



That's it for today.  Need to get the kids to bed now.  Mommy needs some quiet time.

Speed Scrap

Sneak Peek

Here's a layout of a new kit that will be available at Elemental Scraps on Friday, September 3rd by Daybreak Scraps.  Be sure to check back Friday for more details.

Vampire Diaries

I just realized this morning that Vampire Diaries came out on DVD yesterday.  How could I forget?  Need to run by Target after work and pick it up.  Funny thing, my youngest asked me last night when the Vampire Diaries were coming back on.  Yes, I have him hooked as well.

New Blog

Well, my other blog was giving me fits, so I created a new one.

I took a break from scrapbooking to focus on my family.  After being away from the scrapping world for over a year (wow), I'm back.  I missed it and so happy to be scrapping again.

So over at DST I was looking at the "CT Call" section.  One post really grabbed and me and told me to reply......so I did.  It was a call for Dawn at Daybreak Scraps.  Just something about her CT call.  It sounded like a good fit.

Lo and behold, I received a reply...........and an offer.  I get to be a guest CT for her.  I'm so excited.

I'll be working on a layout later with a new kit that she has coming out Friday, September 3rd.  Say tuned.
