Happiness

Last of the class challenges...we were to take photos and have one word to describe them...so I took pictures of puppies....whatelse? Tried to capture the fun of their playing outside. And the kicker of the challenge was it was supposed to be done in less than 30 minutes...I spaced that part of the challenge out until it was almost done.....so not sure how long it really took me to do...

S'Mores

I saw this quote and thot of my children :) Wanted to use these pics of the girls making S'Mores one evening when Pa built a gigantic fire for a couple of s'mores.......I love it when my girls are 'bestest' friends...they really enjoy each others company...well at least most of the time.
This was a completed challenge on the Sprague web site :) We had a celebrity designer do something special for us by creating papers and an acrylic alphabet and we were to use them in a layout......so here is my interpretation

New Layout

Did this layout for the last of Jessica's lessons...we were to take a picture of something and then use it in a layout....also another lesson was to make a template...so I did this paw with the custom shapes. I also did the overlay myself :) It was kinda fun to do out of the box things on my own :)

Missing Something???

Emma had just had her two bottom teeth pulled by the dentist. They were hanging by a thread and when she had them cleaned they just almost fell out. Then she promptly lost one of them in the car between the seats...Noel finally found it on her last time between the seats...She was so proud that the tooth fairy came while she was sleeping...

Accomplishments

This was a hard layout for me to do...I am usually the one behind the camera and not in front of it because of the weight. One year ago I joined Weight Watchers with it being my last hope to ever get my weight manageable...I have tried the program before a couple of times and it never seemed to work. This time I had my two girls who went before me and knew all the ins and outs of WW so with much reluctance I joined again. And this time it has come off....slowly but surely. I had hoped to be further along but this is a WONDERFUL accomplishment for me. Now for the next 60 to come off in this next year.

Still More

More Kangaroos

Kangaroo Farm

What an experience we had today. Today I went to the Kangaroo Farm by us....WOW! It was so much fun...I guess a lot of that was because Aaron got such a big kick out of the kangaroos. (He enjoyed them so much we wondered if he could get a service Kangaroo instead of a dog ) He had a blast feeding them...and touching them...and the turkey too :) We saw llamas, emus, ostriches, lemurs, kangaroos, wallabies, peacocks, ducks, chicks, a pot bellied pig, and things I can't even remember what they were. I even got to hold a baby kangaroo.....how fun is that...and got to feed a llama from my teeth .......pics will follow I promise

Other part

Wanted to scrap this series of pictures....Aaron saw Stan on the computer screen and was looking all over for him. It was really cute to watch him try and figure out how his face was on a screen but he couldn't find either behind the computer or under the computer or over the computer...so he had to look real close at the screen to see Uncle Stan.
All the elements are listed in the layout below

Digi In Deep Week one

Well here it is finally...my first lesson from the class Jessica is teaching this go around. The last two classes I was always done on Monday when the lesson came out and was chomping at the bit for more...this time here it is Friday and I haven't even looked into the daily emails I have been getting from her or taken a glance at the many layouts in the gallery for the class....hum...has life been a little hectic? But I think I am caught up with most things outside of my digi world and will try to do the other part of the lesson today and read the emails and see what challenges came in that I missed........I have another really cool set of pictures of Aaron and the computer with Uncle Stan that I can't wait to get into a layout....so hopefully soon
