Lots to share with you today :) We had our 3 day “Spring Fling” crop this weekend, and after 3 days, I *SHOULD* have lots to share… Although, most of what I worked on was the sorting of the HUGE bag of pictures that really just needed to be sorted… They are all now neatly packed into little plastic cases, and labeled so that I can find the photos I need!! Yeah!! It was a HUGE job, but man am I glad it’s done!!!

Here’s what else I did this weekend… The pics aren’t super, I will get better ones this afternoon I hope… It was so windy, that I did take them outside, but had to chase the layouts TWICE across half the yard ’cause the wind was blowing so hard… So, they’re just quick inside pics…

A two page layout, I actually cut and kitted this one for our Friday evening croppers :) I added the photos and date… The patterned papers are Cosmo Cricket, the QuicKutz font is Strawberry

This two page layout uses Little Yellow Bicycle patterned papers (which were hard to photograph inside ’cause they’re kinda shiny). The QuicKutz font is from Santa’s Workshop

This is a one page layout using Creative Imaginations paper, QuicKutz fonts are Heidi Swapp alphabet and Paper Doll

I forgot to take pictures, but there’s a set of 7 cards that were for Sunday’s croppers…

This adorable birdhouse… Made with Creative Memories papers and May Arts Ribbons (it’s for the May Arts Design Team Call…) More details will follow…

Oh, and I almost forgot… This frame, also Creative Memories and May Arts…

Whew!!! What a weekend!!! We also took the kids rollerskating on Saturday, and Kathryn to a friend’s birthday party on Sunday… I think I need a vacation to rest up from this past weekend!!!

Thankful Thursday

Hmmm…. Having a very cranky week… But, even with that, there’s a LOT to be thankful for…

Take a look at this…

OMGosh, isn’t it pretty?? It’s MINE :) well… technically… I bought it and it’s on its way to me… should be here in a couple days… I just LOVE it… found a very cool Etsy Shop that I can’t stop stalking Graceful Rosaries all her beautiful rosaries etc. are handmade… Not only is that gorgeous rosary on it’s way to me… but this beautiful rosary bracelet too… ummm… truth be told, the bracelet will be here sooner… Like, today probably… I LOVED it and bought it from her website… then discovered she had additional items on her etsy store… so stalked the rosary for a day before it decided, what the heck, I NEED that too… It’s almost lent, right? I NEED a beautiful rosary to start lent with… And, maybe more than that, I need some peace… and mindful quiet…

***edited to add… OMGOSH!!! My bracelet arrived today when I got home from school… It’s even MORE beautiful in real life!!! it’s so pretty!! I LOVE it!!

Oh, something else to be thankful for… CKC Manchester is coming, I’m taking several classes… AND staying overnight with friends… changed my reservation today, and am staying 2 nights!!! Thanks to my wonderful Mother in Law who will be picking up the kids those 2 days so that I can go!!

See… Look at those pretty rosaries, think about getting away for 2 whole nights… oh, yeah!! There’s a lot to be thankful for…

Thankful Thursday (on Friday)

This week, I’m thankful for VACATION, where I lose track of what day it is!! Is it ALREADY FRIDAY?? Goodness, vacation goes so fast… But it’s VERY nice to not have to get up at 5am… and not have to go to bed ridiculously early ’cause of the 5am wake up time…

We had a fun time yesterday (hence the missing Thursday post! )… We went to the Mapparium, the Mary Baker Eddy Library (where we saw a 1611 Bible… amazing), the Christian Science Church in Boston, and the MIT museum… Plus P.F.Chang’s for lunch or actually lupper… you know, that 3-4:00 ish time way too late for lunch, and way too early for supper… Super fun time…

Here’s photo of the kiddos just before we went into the Mapparium… Not a great pic ’cause it was from my phone… Will have to take the pics off my camera soon :) and add them…
