OH MY STARS!! LAYOUTS!!

When the weather turns south again, I get back into my scrappy area! Here is what I've been doing this past week. Some old, some new, but important to me and needed scrapping ......

Introducing the girls to some messy fun! July 2010

Easter 2012 was such a beautiful day so after dinner we pulled out the new fire pit and toasted up some marshmallows for some sticky fun!

Since our son is a Leapling, last year we just had to celebrate his 8th Birthday! It was complete with Happy Meals, Transformers, and a homemade birthday cake! He's such a good sport!

While waiting for Big Sis to finish her practice, Ruby discovered some "pretty white flowers". 

Every year I plant geraniums in honor of my Grandma George and this year enlisted the help of Ruby. She said they were pretty, but insisted that this one be hers to take care of. I think we have the next generation "green thumb" in the making!

Since the rains are due back for all of next week, I'm sure I'll have more to share shortly. Thanks for stopping by!

garden time!

Boy, have I missed my spring plantings for our fresh veggies during the summer months! This year we have rented plots in the community gardens from our local food bank and today I put the finishing touches on it and now to sit back, water as needed, and watch our fruits of labor grow!


If you look REALLY close, you can see our potatoes are starting to sprout!

And our first tomato on the left side, with another blossom developing on the right! YUMMY!!

I plan on sharing photos throughout the growing season, so stay tuned!

lonely blog....

I have been so busy lately trying to get the yard in shape, taking care of the little ones, trying to hold down the fort here at home, getting our garden planted, and starting up a new business that my poor blog has been ignored.

I haven't scrapped a thing in TWO MONTHS, not even assembled a card! But, the girls and I have been painting on a couple canvases. Ruby's is finished and on display in our home, but Makayla and I still are debating whether to go farther with the one we're doing together or not .... decisions, decisions! I'll post them when we're done with both.

So, now its just past midnight and I need to call it a day. I promise my next entry won't be nearly as long a wait as this one has been, even if its just to say Hello!

Godspeed
