Some more to share

These layouts are the remaining ones from my June DT kit from the Scrapping Turtle. Some really fun pastel papers in this line. I found some baby pictures of myself with mom which worked really well with these papers so thought I would get them done. The last one is an older picture of Jenna and I at Joan and Jack's when she was 4 months. Thought it was a fun picture but didn't really have a story so the layout is about her nickname.

Swimming lessons

The girls did great in the swimming lessons this term. Jenna has moved from Salamander to Sun Fish and Laura from Swim kids 2 to swim kids 3. Here are a few pictures of their final day:

A couple layouts to show you

I know its been awhile since I posted some so thought I would try to catch up and show you what I have completed over the past two weeks. A few more disney layouts:








And a few with some older photos. These are both pictures from last fall. I don't have many of the girls with grandma so want to make sure I scrap the pictures when I do get them.



Not what was expected

for sure! We went out to test drive some vehicles last night. Got the kids all settled at grandmas, thought it would be a perfect opportunity as you really can't test drive with kids. Of course, the dealerships in the Sault close at either 5:30 or 6pm on Friday nights. I was so disappointed! It did not even dawn on me they would not have the same hours on Fridays as they have on the other nights of the week. Oh well, we'll have to try again another night.

Some leftover

papers from my May kit at the Scrapping Turtle helped me create these layouts.

And also created this one with some new goodies I could help but break right into. Its a picture of my aunt and her dad. I think I will add some journalling to it but want to speak to my aunt first to determine what that'll be.

June sneak peek at the Turtle

A little late, I know, but with the computer issues I've been having I was not able to post my sneak peek before now. Thought I would share it today.
I was given the Little Yellow Bicycle Baby girl snugglebug line to work with this month. Very soft muted pastel colours. Lots of fun sparkle and glitter on the papers!
Here's my first layout. I know I've done these pictures before but I just love them so couldn't resist using them again with this line.



Well, its been one of those weeks

We lost our computer 10 days ago. Everytime I tried to look for or open something, something else was missing. So, we closed it down and I went computer shopping this week.

We ended up buying a new system (and man is it fast!). They installed and transferred everything they could from the old system on Thursday and I was able to pick it up Friday. I have had to reinstall the programs we have run however as the material is there, just not the program to open/ work on something. I think I now have most of the programs we need installed (of course, there are two I cannot find the discs for) so I get to start playing on the net again.

The last two weeks have been busy too. Mom and dad were up visiting. Had a great time with them. While they were here, Mike and I took off for a few days down to Traverse City. Definitely nice to get away just us and the kids loved spending time with grandma and grandpa. Jenna had her last day of preschool on Friday and JK orientation on Thursday. Laura is now super busy with Soccer on Monday, T-ball on Tuesday and Thursday and Swimming on Wednesday nights. And Mike, well, he's busy working on building himself a new shed. He also decided to dig up the front yard a little and is putting in a retaining wall for a flower garden there. Needless to say, lots going on and time seems to be slipping away from me again.
