SO we decided we would take the pantoon boat out to the river and had a GORGEOUS day! weather was perfect! water was calm! grilled out on the beach with some friends! kids dug for clams! SOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun! This weekend We are throwing an anniversary party for my parents 40 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amazing ! what a year---- my inlaws 40th wedding anniversary, my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary!, my MIL turned 60, Jim turned 40, my parent anniversary and then MEagan will be 13 this years YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am finally getting to scrap a little...... and looky at my Backyard! I promise i will try to be a little better at the blog.....

we are in the mist of all star tournaments. Jim coaches Meagan's team. SO far they have won the 2 games they have played! wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!! they play again wednesday against another GOOD team. Their uniforma are bright purple and the scrapper in me is thinking the Rusty Pickle Gueniviere line might do just fine! A little on the latest from CSS Tomorrow night 7pm Eric and Julie COmstock from Cosmo Cricket are coming to chat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a layout i did with the picture of the Eagles in Chetek!!!!!!!!!!! so cool! I based this on my july Island map. here is the sketch (note I changed it up a bit. but also did one using the 4 photos) show me your take on the sketch.........

Good question ........hmmmm I started cause i was going through some rough spots and needed something of a hobby for ME! I have always been Kinda crafty. But like projects I can start and finsih in a decent amount of time (NO CROCHETING APHGANS FOR THIS GIRL!) But why do I keep doing it??? It is my ME time. My selfish time. Its creative! Its fun! But now my me time is turning into time with my girls! they scrap with me.! ANd I still love it. I love the photos! I recently got involved in Design team work and creating sketches and I love that. Creating, helping, maybe inspiring someone to create something ! Cause there really is no right or wrong way! Its how you interpret the memory! I love it because I love it. I scrap. It makes me happy. It relaxes me. Its for me plus i get the bonus or doing something with the photos besdies shoving them in a box! take this I made this altered pencil Box with a Cosmo Cricket sponsored Kit... and Meagan lifted me.. and created this awesome little pen...
