4th of July

Here are two pages from July 2009. Normally I don't do two pages in a day, but today I was able to. It feels good to be catching up.

Last June Page

Yay! I've completed all of the June pages! I'm uploading my pages to a print site right now and was happy to upload the completed the "April - June 2009" folder. I have been scrapping out of order so I do have pages throughout the rest of 2009 and a good amount in 2010, just not all of them. I'll have to see what I still have to work on for 2009. I was hoping to get all of 2009 printed super soon, but I don't want to print parts of my folders.

Summertime

Here I am crankin' away at 2009 pictures. Yes! As simple as this page is, I used items from five different kits (not mentioning templates or overlays).

I'm off to put laundry away and finish getting dinner together. We're having beef stroganoff with brown rice, apple sauce and sliced cucumbers. MmMmm! Happy Monday!

B&B

For some reason (colors, patterns, photo quality -probably), I didn't want to scrap these pictures. I wasn't looking forward to it. Today I was looking through pictures and thinking that I had scrapped through August of 2009 and could move into September 2009. Nope. I still have pages in June and July, yet August is done. Haha, oh man. I'm trying not to feel so behind. I want to enjoy the process!

I'm going to be making pizza for dinner tonight with a special bacon topping. MmMmm!

I'll close up with some encouraging song lyrics that blessed me today!

"I know my God saved the day and I know His word never fails and I know my God made a way for me. It's gonna be alright! Salvation is here and it lives in me. Salvation is here. He died just to set me free. Salvation is here 'cause You are alive and You live in me!"

Lambs

I was talking to a friend on the phone about seeing the lambs and it made me want to scrapbook the first time we went to see them. So much fun! I am looking forward to the Spring when we get to see a new batch. Maybe, just maybe, we'll witness a birth one of these years. That would be awesome!

Page 3

This is the final page of the Lapeer Days pages. It's a simple page and came together super fast - I like that!

Today is a special day because we got a new furnace installed. Our other furnace died on Monday so we were without a furnace until noon today. It was a chilly 4+ days! A couple of days I wasn't home during the day because it was just too cold. We used a couple of space heaters for two bedrooms, an Eden Pure, and the oven to keep the chill off until the furnace was installed. Waking up to a 55* house doesn't make you want to get out of bed in the morning! My week was thrown for a loop as far as new schedules go, but I'm trying not to stress over it. I plan to get back in the groove this coming week.

Tomorrow we're heading north for a yearly gathering at a hotel with Brandon's mom's side of the family. Lots of swimming and hot tubbing with the family is in my future!

Oh! But first, we get to stop at Macy's "along the way" because they are having a 40% off sale on food processors. The one I want is $70 OFF and since Brandon got a Macy's gift card from work, I'm really getting it free! It's awesome and such a blessing!

Brandon surprised me with the Anne of Green Gables movies, so tonight after our "breakfast" dinner, we get to watch some. I'm excited!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Tea Party

I took these pictures today with my kids. It was fun having a "tea" party with them. I know they really enjoyed it as well!

Face Painting

I tried scrapping these photos a few times and nothing was coming together. I had a hard time with colors because what went with Titus' face colors didn't go with Leah's. I finally settled on this and I like it. The red marks aren't totally red nor are they pink, so I think it "go's".
