Back to School

The girls headed back to school today. They were both so excited. Ellie is in second grade and Amelia is going to half day kindergarten in the afternoon. I am thrilled that I will still get to spend so much time with her. Here are some shots from the day...
















Ellie went to school in the morning and we headed to the park for awhile. Then we took a few more photos before Mia got on the bus. She was so thrilled to be riding the bus.














The following photos are from this afternoon when we picked them up from school. I think somebody missed his sisters.








The girls both loved their teachers and had so much to tell us. The walk/scoot home from school....what a great day!

Blending and Beyond - Registration Open

I have wanted to teach a class on blending for a LONG time. Today I am thrilled to tell you that registration is now open for "Blending and Beyond" which will be offered this fall at Getting It Scrapped. I want to give a special "thank you" to Debbie Hodge for giving me this opportunity. She has been AMAZING to work with and I think you will really enjoy the format of the class.




The class will be six weeks long and will start on October 10th. The class will consist of recorded webinars as well as live webinars. I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am about this format. I think it will be a great way to share my "go-to" techniques and allow you to ask questions along the way. Each lesson will come right from my desktop as you watch every step of my creative process. I have created six new layouts for this course that are packed with the techniques that I use daily on my pages. I hope that these pages and techniques inspire you to look at your photos in a new light. There will be a private forum and gallery for you to share the art that you are creating. I cannot wait to see what you create!





Here is a sneak peek at the layout that I will be creating for Week 2....



All products are from Designer Digitals.

More specific information related to the course can be found here.

I hope you will be able to sit next to me on this journey. I am confident that you will see your pages in a whole new light. I look forward to seeing you in class!

House Guest

We have the cutest little house guest right now..... This is the son of my best friend and we just love having him here. He quickly found out who the caretaker in our household is...



I found them out back in this position....they are so manly...














Quinn discovered this hill in our neighbor's backyard and was just gunning it straight down...I couldn't get enough shots.





Our little buddy is going home today and I'm going to miss him. We have all enjoyed having him here.


I hope you have a great weekend!
