CP weekly sketch

This weeks was my turn to do the sketch challenge. I have still to master my sketch making skills so you will again have to settle my hand drawn sketch.

Here is the layout I made.

Don't forget to play along with all our weekly challenges through the month!

I miss him

Isaiah left Sunday for a week long camp with boy scouts.

I felt really weird last night because I found my self really missing him. But I couldn't figure out why seeing as they are usually gone for weeks at a time during the summer.
Then it hit me. The fact that I have no contact with him is what is killing me. I don't know how he is doing or if he is having fun or learning anything. When they are with their grandparents at least I can call and check up on them. But they are out in the middle of the woods, with shotly cell service I'm sure, not that he has a phone or could take it anyways.


Now don't get me wrong I know he is safe and having loads of fun but not being able to contact him just makes me feel a little empty. I am always checking my email seeing if there are any updates from the leaders and counting down the days till Saturday.
You wanna hear something funny, though. The day after he gets back both him and Preston will be on a plane to Dallas to spend time with my in-laws.... I know! I am beginning to see an advantage to keeping your children in your house till they are forty. Ha, just kidding.

On a brighter note I believe the 2 page bug hit me because I managed to make another one. Crazy, huh.

Pink Paislee: patterned paper, cardstock stickers, kraft paper, unknown: tickets, ribbon and tag

Oh and I am way excited about Eclipse coming out this week. I have to wait till Friday to see it so I am considering boycotting all media till then.
Have a great week!

check out the crate paper love

The girls and I over at Croppin Paradise got to play with Crate Paper this last month. I loved playing with Pink Plum line, especially since I had some girl pictures to use!


Check out the blog to see what the other girls did with Crate Paper. And don't forget to swing by the CP store to pick some of your own!

new hair cut and some oldies

Every year Trey has this tradition to get the boys ready for summer. Preston loves it and Isaiah is starting to hate it. After all he has to keep appearances now.

They get buzzed. Right before they head of to Texas he pulls out the clippers cuts off their hair. Now they should be nice and cool in that Texas heat.

I am also posting some layouts that I have yet to post. I know I am a slacker.

Basic Grey: patterned paper and cardstock stickers, Scenic Route: letters, Kraft paper

Sassafras Lass: patterned paper and cardstock sticker, American Crafts: thickers

A two pager, shocking I know!

Pink Paislee: patterned paper and cardstick sticker, white cardstock
