Lets Have Some Girly Fun!!!

Summer is here and it's time to have some fun. While my boys head out to a sports camp of their own I will be over at Treasured Memories teaching girls ages 8 and up some fun projects. We will be making an altered frame where the girls will work with metal and learn how to make fun pinwheels. The will play with flowers, bling and liquid pearls too!

The chipboard book uses the Echo Park line that is so much fun! They will learn how to cover, paint and embellish their cute little books.

The altered album will be right up any girls alley! It says, "My Music My Way!" Just love this! The girls will work with metal, covering chipboard, layering paper to make this fun addition to any girls room.

Camp dates: June 29th, June 30th and July 1st. 10-2. Please contact me if interested in taking 1 or all 3 of these classes. I only have a few more spots.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Can I tell you how much I enjoy going to watch my two boys play ball. Drew has grown so much and I am so proud at his determination and drive to succeed at this sport. It is wonderful to see him enjoy something that he really really likes! He play a few positions, so that is always great. He plays short stop, third and his favorite is pitching. I hope he continues to enjoy this game and excel even further. He plays for the SBS Crusaders and he also plays for the LA Dodgers. Dax started his first year of tee-ball. Well, that is another story. He was actually too young to play this season, but good lord he's so good we couldn't see making him wait another year. He's been making mental notes from watching his brother! They agreed that if Jonathan would help coach that he could play. HA HA! This is funny....Jonathan is about to loose his religion with all these children! It's funny to see him in this role. I tell him all the time, this is what I go through teaching pre-school computer classes! Welcome to MY WORLD!!! Anyways, he has hit 5 home-runs so far. Catching and fielding is another story, but he will get it before you know it! Some dad's have asked if Jonathan will put him in coach pitch next year and that is a little funny to me. He can hit the ball that is thrown to him, that's not the problem, but he is just so young. I think I will see to it that he stays right where he is for another year. Anyways, I love me some baseball. Hope you enjoy my layouts as much as I enjoyed making them!

Catch Up Time!

Well, can I say NEGLECT! My poor little boys scrapbooks have been neglected!!! I am very busy with my two boys, baseball is in full swing and there is just no time for their scrapbooks. But I tell you, I have never started a new school year without having their previous year finished and this will be no different. I have no idea when I will fit this all in among, scrapbook classes, kids camps and the mega crop....BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE. My layouts may be simple but that is just fine by me! This is why I love scrapping boys...it doesn't have to be frilly and full of fluff! I love my boys! These pictures are from spring pictures. I used the old yellow bicycle line and I threw in a metal accent piece. Love the thought of using metal on their layouts...too cool!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAX!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

Hot Dog! Hot Dog!

Hot Diggity Dog!

It's Dax's Day

Whatcha Waiting For?

Get Up, Stretch Out, Come Join the Fun!

Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog!

Dax had a blast with some of his classmates at his birthday party. Well many of you that have followed my blog will know that I just love a good party! Kid's parties that is! The last 5 years have been so much fun...but I think I am done! I have had for Dax a John Deere tractor party, a sock monkey party, a frog party (with real live frogs), a robot party, and now a Mickey party. So my deed is done and I am retiring! Though we will have some movie parties and sleepovers I'm done with the big parties! I am happy to be hanging up this hat! Can you hear it in my voice? Well, they just tire me out! I am the one that cleans the whole house, gets the yard all ready; mowing, weed-eating, planting flowers, pressure washing and whatever else. I do all the cooking, planning, decorating...so I guess what I am saying is my husband is a very lucky man.
Look at this cute picture of all the kids, they ranged in all ages from 8th grade all the way down to pre-school. Dax really enjoyed his party!
This is his best buddy- Maddox. All I ever hear about is Maddox this and Maddox that. I hope they continue to be friends, he seems to be a great kid!
Love this sweet picture of my little man! I hope you enjoy my pictures and I have already printed them (which is a rare-occurance) and hope to scrap them in the near future! Let me just say...good luck with that Wendy!

Mother's Day

This Mother's Day will be a little sad for my mother. She lost her mother just this past month. So when I knew that I would be teaching a Mother's Day class at TM I just knew it needed to be special. I don't usually keep the layouts that I make, because they are property of TM, but this one is a little special to me, so I just may have to purchase it or re-create it for myself. I can see pictures of my mother and grandmother on this layout! I hope you enjoy. Believe it or not I actually have 4 classes completely FULL. How exciting is that? When I began teaching this class almost 4 yrs ago I had about 2 classes and they were somewhat full each month, but this scrapbooking class has grown so much and with this I have made such wonderful friendships, and several ladies that I could call my friend, my mom, my grandmother...these ladies are all so special to me! Of course, don't forget our special dad's, we will be having a Father's Day class in June and then of course a summer layout in July. Until then, HAPPY SCRAPPING!
