End of the School Year Scrapbook

At the end of last school year, Jayne's teacher put together a cute little scrapbook for all of the kids in their classes. (I can't imagine doing this for 24 students!!) James's teacher sent home a CD with all of the pics from the year and Krista wanted the same thing done for him - I offered to take on this task. It was so much fun! The album was a spiral bound 10x7 album from Just a Buck with about 30 pages in it. I had a lot of fun doing this, reliving things that he would talk about and seeing the kids that i would see in his classroom every day that I picked him up. Thought I'd share!

FALL!

We have had the most beautiful weather here the past few days! Nice enough that we have even turned the AC off, which hardly ever happens! My allergies aren't liking it much but I am taking some OTC stuff to help out because I love the cool air! With all of this cooler weather comes thoughts of stew and bonfires and COFFEE, not just for breakfast! In honor of fall, I got out my supplies this afternoon and made a new fall wreath for the front door and an arrangement that sits on the table on the porch. I know it's not fall for like another month, but I'm a rebel!


Wow, it's been almost a month!

Things have been hectic around here and I've had no time and no motivation to accomplish anything scrap book related until this weekend! One of neighbors turned 44 and invited us to her birthday party last night. Here is her card and, you guessed it, a checkbook cover! =)
