My new binders...

Today I received six new binders! I was in need of some new binders - but 6! WOOHOO!! So I spent the afternoon sorting LOs into their perspective binders. I was able to decorate the 2006 album cover. So here it is.

I finally did it....

After making altered letters for the boys, I finally did my own letter! I am proud to say it is residing on my new scrapping shelf - and I'm happy!! :)

Altered boxes...

So the other day I picked up these cute little boxes, and tonight I altered them. I love the way they turned out...

WOW! Is it about over?

Okay - it is 2:30 in the morning, and I am just getting around to checking my blog. I haven't checkied it since last night, and for me - that is a record. So what was I doing? SCHOOL WORK!! Yep, that right. I spent part of last night putting together a "shot" list for my final movie for class.

Then today I took my wonderful and amazing neice to school with me so we could shoot away! By the way sweetie - THANKS!!! You are such a sweetheart for helping me!

So - the picture. Well I had to take YDS with me, no big deal he normally just chills out. So there I am taking some stills and video, when I realized - Wow he is awfully quiet. So I looked out the door, and there he was lying between the two classrooms playing his Gameboy. He wasn't even phased when I snapped the photo. LOL!!!

After the "photo shoot", we stopped by and ate at Burger King on the way home. But, from the moment I got home until about 2:00 I was working on my final projects for my class. Granted I know they aren't due until Sunday, but I wasn't going to tempt fate! So you would think that with my final projects done - it's over right? NOPE - There are still some presonal reflections about my own work, and my classmates (17) work that I have to do...So - is it over yet?

Announcing...

I finally have my own webpage!! This is really exciting. This website is a resume highlighting my scrapping works! Go check it out and let me know what you think!

This is the SLO sketch inspiration from PHutch's May collection. Thanks chica!! This was perfect for my friends page!

Off to camp...

We picked up YDS on Saturday, so today we dropped off ODS. He loves going to camp, and his best friend was able to go to the same camp with him! ODS will come home on Saturday, so we have one whole week with out him. :( But I know that he will have a blast; I just need to figure out what to do with YDS for this week. Here are some pics that I took this morning...enjoy!

Bonus Sketch...

In honor of Father's Day I have posted a bonus sketch on my sketch blog - go check it out! Have a great weekend, and don't forget to send any amazing LOs you use so I can post them on my blog!

The Boys of Summer

With YDS away at camp, last night I got the chance to focus fully on ODS at his baseball game. Normally ODS's games and YDS's games fall on the same night and time, only in different towns! So it was nice to watch ODS and my nephew playing ball.

ODS playing his heart out...





My nephew

Baseball Fans...

ODS had another baseball game tonight. Here are a few candid shots that I took of the family during the game.

Dog Days of Summer

I could come up with all the puns in world like - we have gone to the dogs - but I won't. The puppies got their summer haircuts yesterday. They both are pretty happy that they are cooler, maybe they'll actually stop laying on the air vents now! LOL!

YDS goes to camp...

YDS went to camp yesterday..he was really excited! He will be gone until Saturday, and I know that he is probably having a blast. It was raining when we dropped him off, but the rest of the week looks good as far as the weather goes. Here are a couple pics Dh took with his phone camera.

Football is Life Movie

For my Master's class in Instructional technology I had to create another 2 minute movie. If you have a slower connection it may take awhile for this to play, so be patient. You might also want to pause the scrapping slide in the right info bar. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for looking!
