May 2012

Card class was great, as usual. We made two cards. Here is one for Father's Day. The other card was masculine too but I didn't get to take a picture of it. James needed a B-day card for a co-worker, so he took it the next day to work. .

I worked on some more pages and did these two for Grandparents Day at Jack's preschool in February.]

The kids came to Tampa for the weekend a few weeks ago. We enjoy having them so much. The boys are growing so fast and are so adorable, sweet and very well behaved.

This past Saturday, Lynn and I went to Orlando for a day of R&R at the Scrapbooking Expo. We had a great time and, of course, spent too much money. We did a few make & takes that turned out nice.
Here are two of them. I may use the first one in my heritage album.

This one I did to put a picture of Sasha on it.

I bought some card sets and made one card when I got home. They are shaker cards, which I think are neat.

Spending the day at the convention was just the TLC we both needed. I bought several really cute page kits that I can't wait to do. Only 14 more days to work and then I am free for 8 weeks. YEAH!!!

Finally Some Finished Pages

I finally found some time to work on some pages. I really need to do pages on Bennett, but I plan to do that when school is out and I can devote a lot of time to his pictures.
These pages are from my birthday in January. James and I spent the weekend in Fort Myers. We drove down on Saturday morning and had lunch at a great restaurant and then headed downtown the an arts festival. It was wonderful. They had so many beautiful and unusual items. I would have loved to buy some but they were definitely out of our price range. Most booths would not allow pictures but a few said it was fine.

 The high schools were having a sidewalk mural contest. They were really talented.

On Saturday night we sent to the Murder Mystery Dinner Train. It was so much fun. The food was really good and the play was cute and funny. We will definitely do it again. They change the plays often.

Part of the package was a room at the Courtyard Marriott including a fabulous hot breakfast.
Afterwards we drove over to Sanibel Island. We walked the beach for awhile and then went to lunch at a restaurant right on the water.

I love doing these mosaic pages.
