August layouts

I signed up for another on-line scrapbooking class, it's called Got Sketch 102. It's a 4 week class beginning September 1st but the forum is already open this week with a beginning sketch challenge!

Here are a few items I made this weekend:


This is a little mini album to hold all the wallet pictures I took of Kenzie's 2nd b-day gifts. Great way to use up my scraps.


This is an altered altoid tin to hold pictures of my little nephew, soon to arrive next month!

Etsy & PeachyCheap

I've got this etsy shop on my christmas wish list.

It's customized camera straps from cotton candy I like the blue Vera Bradley design.




Another good on-line find is this site:
Peachy Cheap
They have a different item on sale up to 75% off every day.

1st Day of Preschool

She picked out her own backpak. I don't know why Target doesn't sell smaller ones for preschoolers, this one is bigger than Kenzie is!


Waiting outside for the teacher to open the doors.



After picking out her name from the table and sorting all the supplies into the bins, we got to play with paint! First I painted her hand, then she got to paint my hand for our handprints.



Then Daddy helped her roll out some playdoh shapes while the teacher went over the rules to all the parents.



It was a successful first day of preschool. The real test comes on Thursday when she has to go herself. I have a feeling we might have a crying spount like we did our first night at gymnastics tonight.

She had a new instructor and a room full of new students. She went in okay for the first 5 minutes then came crying out. When I asked her what was wrong she told me her nose was bleeding (which it wasn't); the second time, she told me I was sitting in the wrong chair and she couldn't see me; the 3rd time she said there were too many people there & she was scared; the 4th time she said there are boys in her class and she doesn't like boys; and the last time she came running out crying, it was time to go home.

Hidden Park

As a mom, I am constantly finding ways to entertain the kids. I take them to Burger King's playground, I take them to the library, I take them to our neighborhood park, I take them to the pool...whatever kills time and wears them out! My friend just told me about a park a mile from our house that I had no idea existed. I took the kids there Sunday afternoon and they loved it.

Anny's Wedding

The cake was beautiful...


Check out my date, isn't he a studmuffin?


My little princess with her new hair cut. She actually got a layered bob in the back. It's really cute on her!


My date left me for another girl. He has a bad crush on his cousin, Arianna, he kept on asking where's Anna all night.


Just me and the kids.


My cousin Bo and his g/f who gave the kids their free haircut. My cousin Anny and his new wife Amy. And my SIL and BIL.
