Cucks for Us!









Ok two of my girlfriends have shown off their wonderful tomatoe plants so I have to show you our first cuck! Isn't she wonderful? She smells so awesome hopefully it will taste as good as it smells.We will cut it open tomorrow and have cuccumber salad with dinner. We have at least 2 more but we have a ton of baby ones that I pray turn into bigger ones. We also have 1 very tiny tomato. Our herbs are just going crazy this year and the rosemary has been cut back several times but keeps on growing....

Scrapbook Retreat Here We Come!

its that time of the year were I get to go away with 12 of my girlfriends and have the most wonderfullest (if thats a word) time. We are off bright and early tomorrow morning to a retreat house just about 30 minutes away and I can't wait. Work has been very stressful this week for me more mental than anything else and I can feel it in my shoulder tonight. I am just praying the pain goes away as I have not been able to go to retreat without being in pain and I really want to enjoy this weekend. I hope to post pictures of what I have done, have a lot planned just in case I get bored of working on just one project. Gotta figure out this power planning thing sometime but not this weekend. I have my XXL packed to the max, my rolling file case (almost the size of my XXL case) packed, my cricut case, 2 tote bags, my punch case cause you just never know if you need a punch! and my tool case that doesn't include the cooler for cold stuff to make the trip, box of food and my clothes! My husband laughs at me for all the stuff I bring but he has never been to a scrapbooking retreat so he doesn't know that a girl needs all these things to function! Our friend Shelley thinks that we can fit 4 of us in her suburban with all our stuff so we can all ride together, I say if we do it will truly be a miracle and that God planned for us to fit cause I have a feeling there is no way we are going to! But having faith is a big thing so I leave it up to God if not I am so okay with driving my car (less chance of getting car sick too!) lol.... must pack the motion sickness pills just in case. okay off to play my new addicting game of Ice Breakers, I am determined to win it some day! Have a good weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

Weekly Challenge #18


Okay I am just loving this weekly layout challenge and can't wait for the next one to come out. This are pictures of Danielle thru the years of soccer. I really like how it turned out. Thanks Jeanie for getting me involved with this. I think I will use this layout again for other pictures and make the circle smaller but since I already had the circle paper it was so easy! Maybe I will get an album or two finished working this way! Woo Hoo won't that be neat.

52 Week Layout Challenge


My friend Jeanie has invited me to join her in this challenge which I think is great since now we will be able to maybe get some pictures done and have layouts that don't look exactly the same! lol. So I did the one for week #17 since it was up on the site, it was a simple layout but took me some time to do. I like how it turned out so we'll see. Here is the website if you would like to join along. http://52sketches52weeks.com/ Enjoy!
