The Madness begins ...


Well it's that time of year again. When Caela's and my schedule's are so crazy we don't have time to think. She started school on Wednesday. It's hard to believe that she is in the 7th grade. I can still remember her first day of kindergarten like it was yesterday. This will be her last year of public school because next year she will be in a charter school. UCP is designed to get them ready for college much better than any PS in the Greeley area.

Caela is still in dance. She has 8.5 hours of dance classes a week, which include ballet, jazz, hip hop, and pointe. She added a new lyrical class this year. She also auditioned for and made the Jr. Ballet Company. There are seven girls in Co. and they rehearse on Saturday mornings. Jr. B. Co. will have the opportunity to compete against other ballet dancers and they have a few competitons in Denver. Yuck! I hate driving in Denver, but I am proud that she made it.

I start my BIO class the last week of August. I am excited to get the ball rolling for the pre-reqs in Nursing. But I shudder at the thought of all the home work. I am hoping that the next three years will go by just as fast as this last year.

These are the latest scrap pages I have made, I am hoping to get as many done as I can before my class begins. I am going to try and figure out some time to continue scrapping during the school year. I am planning on some week nights and the weekends. I NEED to scrap. ;-D

This is for James baby book. So far I only have two LO's done. I need to get a move on but I am having a hard time thinking up boy pages. It was so much easier to do Claudia's book because I could make them as girly as I wanted. I have always had some difficulty with male related pages. So James forgive me if they tend to look too frilly. The papers are from a kit club that I belong to online. The technique is called Mola and for the life of me I cannot remember who created it. It is very similar to appliquing but instead of layering it on top you take away negative areas. (I think this is right??)
Anyway, I have entered it in the monthly challenges on the Scrapgoods board.




Here is one of Jacob and his new kitty Spankers. I don't think he was too eager to have his photo taken so he chose to hide behind the kitty. I think it makes the photo that much more endearing, so I took it any way. This paper is from SG too, it's their July kit.





I couldn't help but laugh at these photos. Benny so did not want his picture taken. Jake finally had to hold him down. I am just glad that my digi camera has a fast shutter speed or I would still be sitting there trying to get it taken. The papers are from August's SG kit. I love paisley and I couldn't help using some of it on this LO.

I will say it again. I need someone who lives near me to start scrapping with me. I think I have completely driven Caela and Michael insane with all of my scrap related chatter. I have made some online friends through the member boards, so I can talk to them about scrapping. It's really not as hard as people think, time consuming, but not hard.
So Steph, Vanesa, Tonya....somebody...come out and play with me!!
