Ready to perform..

Look at what I won!!! I participated in the celebrations over at two peas during National Scrapbooking Day and won these KI goodies! I love getting scrap goodies in the mail, even better when it's a surprise :). And look, I've already used a friendship sticker in a layout! :) I have recently put together kits using the supplies I have on hand. I selected a few papers and matched up everything that would go with the papers. I can tell you it makes scraping a lot faster, easier and more fun.

The girls, as well as Mikhail, are getting ready to perform their year end again as well. We are ready for it! and excited for it. :) I think it's the best part of dance. All their hard work during the year pays off and they get to show off what they have accomplished.
Chastity's last batch of sock monkeys she made for her school entrepreneur fair sold in ten minutes, so we made 15 more. She put up posters at school and the day after putting up the posters sold these sock monkeys from her locker!! They sold just as quickly! I think she has started her own business, we sure didn't expect that. Even the squidward looking one sold, the kid who bought it called it that too! heehee

We put in our garden again this year. Last year I couldn't keep up with freezing the veggies that grew thanks to my flare-up. I am having a positive outlook for this year. The girls (and even Mikhail to some degree) did SSOO much work to help me get it weeded and planted. I'm so thankful and proud of them. My husband has been in camp for three weeks so far, wouldn't you know, right at planting time. But my kids worked with their broken Mom, we worked as a team and got 'er done. I told them one day we should put bricks or rocks around the garden so we could control the weeds better, it was only a thought. But guess what? They went to work placing the bricks around the garden with the bricks we had laying around!
Looking good so far...

a few of the seeds have sprouted already!
some were already small plants. We wanted to have a head start on it all.




It has been raining a lot round these parts. I love the sun, don't get me wrong, but we don't have to worry about watering the garden!

thanks for peeking

Hi, I love following your blog! And youtube as well. I have a question. On the mini 3 ring scrapbook you have on there, on the instructional one. I am wondering if I have bigger size chip board to make a bigger album, and 12x12 paper doesn't go all the way across the 2 pieces and spine, what would you suggest I could do instead??? I believe you are using 5 x 4 1/2 and my chipboard is actually 5x7.
Thanks so much!
