unpacking... does it ever end?

Since we had to run errands when we got home on Friday, I worked on Saturday and Sunday (don't ask!). I decided to start the process of putting things away today. I have 4 of the 6 drapes hung in the living room now and they look great. I will be hanging the big picture on the wall as you come up my stairs. The cake pans are put away. The silverware, and dishes are also in their places. I need to get a plate holder for the 4 saucers. We still have to hang curtains in Maddie's room and put the new bedding on Kenzie's bed. Our suitcases are starting to be emptied. Kenzie and I played v smile today and she loved it! We had such a good time. We also played vet. She loves her animals. I bought Kenzie a webkinz lion on Friday so she comes and helps me take care of it everyday now. Thanks Riley! You got us addicted! Such a cute thing to do with your children. We still have to find a home for the easels. And that is our life right now. Just getting back on track! Talk to you soon!

It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways.

We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
