Scrapalicious

Okay, maybe that title is a little overboard, but I did scrap today. :)  Jen challenged us to use anything on the Hero Arts blog as inspiration.  I couldn't put my finger on one thing that inspired me, but I found inspiration in TONS of stuff there.  I am definitely not a stamper, but I did pull out a stamp and use it on a card.  So I think I fulfilled the challenge's requirement, right?

I also did a digital layout, but can't share it at this time. :) That's about it for now. I'm wishing I had more time to scrap some more, but I've got to clean up the mess that Kenadie and her friend, Ella made in Kayleigh's room before she gets home.  She would NOT be happy.

Oh ya, here are a few photos from our trip to Malibu Grand Prix.  We went a week or so ago.  I've decided not to take Kayleigh's camera with me anymore because I don't like the photos that I take with it.  :(

Check out those long legs.  At her yearly physical last week we found out that Kayleigh is in the 78 %ile for height and about the 40% for weight.  I guess that's better than the other way around.  LOL

Do you see why I want a shot of Botox in my forehead? 

 

Can you guess who the ham is in our family?

Check me out at the batting cages.  I'll have you know I made contact with 24 out of the 25 balls thankyouverymuch.

Keith felt the need for speed.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Scrappy Stuff

I love a good sale, especially when it's at the most awesome scrapbook store EVER!!!  Ruban Rouge had EVERTHING 40% this week.  So of course I was all over that!!!  I got lots of fun stuff...flowers, flowers and more flowers.  I just can't seem to get enough. 

I also signed up for this event.  I'm really excited.  I haven't been to a scrap-related event in years.  And this one sounds like a lot of fun.  Plus all the proceeds go to support The Komen Foundation.  The best part?  If you wear pink you get 10% off of whatever you purchase. :)

I only wish that I had a scrapbooking friend to go with me. :( Any takers?

Welp, that's about it.  I'm off to use my new goodies.  I haven't even taken them out of the bag yet.  :O

Flowers

Look at these beautiful roses I received on Saturday from a special guy in my life.  Before you get jealous of my thoughtful husband, think again.  Although Keith is very good about sending/giving me flowers, these aren't from him. 

Let me explain.  Our school held a silent auction at the Dad's Club golf tournament a few weeks ago.  I had up for auction a scrapbooking session at my house for the winning bidders and a friend of their choice.  Two of my students won my auction and we held our event Saturday afternoon.  We had the BEST time!  I ended up with five kids (3 girls and 2 boys), and I supplied them all with an album and all the scrapbook supplies they could get their hands on.  Once they got settled in, they went right to work.  Each put their own creative flair on their book.

Oh, so when one of my students showed up at the door, he had this beautiful bouquet of roses for me.  Wasn't that the sweetest?

We had a wonderful time!  And guess what?  I was the teacher who raised the 2nd highest amount for the school...I missed 1st place by only $9.  Anyway, the proceeds go to a very good cause...shaded covers for our playgrounds.
