Hee Hee! I am SO bad at updating my blog. Well, here it goes.

We had a very BUSY weekend doing holiday things! First, we took Brooke to the zoo and then to the lights display at the zoo the same night. She LOVED seeing all the animals and lights. Her favorite part was riding on the train. Here are a few pics:

I am working on my layouts for Transparent Touches. I am loving the kit I am working with. Even though we don't get snow here the winter kit is turning out to be GREAT!!

Here is a great new sketch website to check out. This is my take on their first sketch! I tried to think of a new way to add a fall tree to my page. I had seen this idea in a couple of magazines.

Here are some pics of our weekend trip to the mountains. They are mostly of Brooke in her new outfits!! This is her new leaf outfit, apple outfit, and fall outfit!

























Oh, and here is the ONE picture I am in from this past weekend!!

Hey everyone! Hope October is treating you well. We took our family vacation this past weekend to the mountains. It was a blast! We spent Saturday morning enjoying the outdoor scenery and spent the afternoon at the apple orchard. This year I bought Blushing Gold apples but Adam stuck to his favorite, Gala! Brooke had so much fun walking through the pumpkins and picking apples. She also got to play on the swing set and pet the goats and sheep. She loved the slushy apple cider and the apple cider doughnuts! I will post some pics later. I bought three special outfits for our trip!!

I just finished making apple crisp. Had to call my mom and Don to brag!!

For all my scrappy friends check out the new contest that is coming soon to transparenttouches.com. It is going to be a super, fun time! Also check out the new mini-class Val and Janna are having at gotsketch.com.

Happy Fall Everyone!!

Hey y'all! Hope everyone is well. We are sitting here today waiting for Tropical Storm Hanna to hit : ) It should not be too bad so we decided not to evacuate. I did stress out and pack EVERYTHING I could but decided to put it all away. We may lose electricity tonight but hopefully not. We bought plenty of food and water to live through the weekend!!! I'm not sure living by the beach is all it's cracked up to be : )

In the mean time here are a couple pictures to celebrate the start of football season!!

Ok, I am trying to get better at updating my blog. I started back to school last week and I have been exhausted. To keep me going my favorite scrapping site is having a blog party!! Check it out at www.transparenttouches.blogspot.com! TTT is offering some great challenges and games for some fabulous prizes.

I am also taking gotsketch class 102. Class 101 was so much fun I coudn't pass this one up. You can sign up for the class at www.gotsketch.blogspot.com. If you tell them I referred you I get a discount for gotsketch class 103 : )

Well, I better get back to Brooke. She has been deprived of her mommy all week. Have a great holiday weekend y'all!!


Here is a sample of my sketch challenge on the TTT blog. Go check it out!!

Oh my gosh its been a long time since I posted on my blog. Too much other stuff to do!! We had a big summer of traveling to Michigan, North Carolina, and Florida. Brooke LOVED seeing Mickey Mouse. Now we are settled back home and I'm back to school. Although I never like watching the summer end, it will be nice to be back in a routine!! Happy School Year Y'all!!

It has been a LONG time since I last posted. If fact, it hasn't been since last July. EEEE!! Alot has happened since then..holidays have been celebrated, I started working at a new, fabulous school, Brooke turned 2, and my in-laws are now official residents of SC!! Brooke has spent the year with her Papa and they are inseperable!!

This past week my mom came to visit and we had a blast. We visited all the local scrapbook stores and all other stores that carry scrapbook stuff, we went riding, saw mom's horses, saw My Pretty Pone Live (Brooke loved it so much she cried when we left!!), went to a beautiful plantation and enjoyed spring flowers, attended birthday parties for Brooke's friends, and went to the beach. Whew!

Here are a few pics from our adventures!!
