Here is a layout I did using My Mind's Eye My Sunshine line from the ScrapDango July sugar kit.

The June 2008 Sugar kit at ScrapDango featured the Frenzy line from We R Memory Keepers. Loved working with this line.

Scrapworks Magpie & Back Porch Memories

The May solo kit at http://www.backporchmemories.com/ featured papers from Scrapworks Magpie line. The colors in this line are beautiful. Here are a couple layouts I did with the kit:

Playing catch up!!

I'm so far behind in my blogging! I can't believe I haven't updated since April. I'm going to try to catch up with "happenings" & some of the work I've done. The summer was great but seems to have flown by & now we're settling back into our school routine.

Some of our summer highlights:

• Jerry's Dad & Maxine arrived the middle of May to spend the summer with us.
• Jerry's Dad rented a beach house & we spent a week in the Outer Banks (one of my favorite locations) - weather was beautiful the entire week.
• Danielle celebrated her 12th birthday!! I cannot believe she is already 12.
• I was a chaperone for 2 youth events this summer - a week retreat at Liberty University & a 2 day event at Liberty Baptist - both were amazingly, powerful experiences. All I can say is Wow! I can't wait to attend both again next summer with our teens.
• We held a revival at our church & Dr. Danny Forshee was the revival speaker. He was an inspiring & motivating preacher - definitely recommend hearing him if you ever have the chance.
• I was co-director for VBS this year. It was a busy but fun-filled week.
• We added to our "family" - 4 peacocks (although we are down to 2 now) & a kitten.
• We went camping in the mountains near Crabtree Falls (my favorite place to spend time) - it's always so peaceful & relaxing. Jerry spent a week there with us, then Danielle & I stayed a 2nd week. We went to the orchard & picked Gala apples - our favorite. We also got some white peaches - first time I've tried those - totally yummy.
• We started back to school the end of August & are looking forward to another fun year homeschooling.

I hope to do a better job of keeping my blog up-to-date. :)
