Back to School!

Okay... I know what you all are thinking... I really should be working on the house instead of scrapping!! but I have a good excuse (at least that is what I told my husband!) Lauren was having a slumber party and no one was sleeping!! I couldn't go to bed with a house full of girls that were still awake so I might as well scrap!! I think that sounds good... don't you?!!! lol!!


So.... one of my bestest bloggy buddies did this amazing sketch... you may know her.... LEAH!! We see Leah's work each week over at Stuck On U Sketches (which is one of my favorite challenge sites... if you haven't been there yet, you really need to go!!) She does some amazing layouts and has so much personality... you just can't help but love her!! Anyway... She personally designed the sketch for their current challenge and I knew I had to play along!! AND one of my other super good bloggy friends, KIM issued the current challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters!! Their challenge is Back to School!!! How could I say no to these challenges?!!

I found some photos of my daughter with me and her friend Abby at Literacy Night last September. They had the best evening for the families. When the kids arrived, they each got to pick out a brand new book and of course the girls had to get the same one!! Then we went to a different part of the school where they had all these tents set up with little campfires and flashlights!! That is where these photos were taken! There were many other activities throughout the school... so much fun!!

And because I was on a major roll... and the girls still were not ready for bed, I whipped out a card for the teacher for the first day!!


















I know what you must be thinking right now... what a show off!! No seriously... I am not a card maker so I was pretty thrilled with how it turned out! And it was so simple to do!! Thank you Leah and Kim for the challenges!!

AND... I have some pretty fantastic news!! Are you ready?!! We finally bought a house!! I am not going to have to be homeless!! We are so excited that our move to Texas is really getting close....less than 2 weeks now!! Thanks for all your encouraging and kind words over the past several weeks!! You guys rock!! Thanks for stopping by!!
