Stalling . . .

This morning, Aidan seemed ready to go to school - until we got outside! He slowly started to make his way to the car and then . . .He changed his mind! As the antics began I was so glad that I had my camera handy (fuzzy photos due to holding too much stuff and trying to take cute pics!!)He's off!!Ignoring Mommy's requests for us to get going.Did I hear you say breakfast is at school??
I am in the car! I am ready to go!!Or am I??

I Did That!

You know, like that commercial? Well, anyway - I did that! I figured out how to create a link to my custom scrapbook prices and order procedure information. I am so darn proud of myself! So, go check it out and let me know if there are improvements to be made or other ideas you have to make it better. Thanks everyone!


So, our little girl started 3rd grade last week. The whole summer was spent agonizing over whether or not she would get her favorite teacher, Mrs. Schmidt. Well, guess what? She got her wish. This is one happy little lady! The week went by without a hitch. She seems to really like her classmates even though her BFF's of past school years are not in her room. She has adapted well and made new friends, which is what it's all about, right?? So, here's to a continued great school year. Now, if I can just get the little brother to consistently be happy about going to daycare . . .

I've Got A New One

I recently met with a lady to discuss the creation of a family scrapbook and shadowbox for she and her sons. It has been really great to go through so many of their pictures and experience some of their memories. I have started their family book and this is one of the pages. I just love this one of her boys! They are in high school now, but look at those little boy faces covered in bubbles!
I have never made a shadowbox page before, but I am looking forward to the challenge. I have some ideas in my mind's eye, now it's just getting them out and into reality! The theme is the Grand Canyon so I am thinking about using maps and earth tones, and of course pictures of them hiking. That is a must! I will post a picture of the finished product and you will have to tell me what you think of my first time creation . . .
