Christmas hats and bows
Hey everyone!
Sorry I have been MIA, Christmas gets a bit crazy busy around here. I am happy to say that I we are done Christmas shopping, have a the house decorated, school play, piano recital and choir concert under our belt. I like the feeling of being able to relax until Christmas.
Have done a few layouts of my sweet L lately. Will definitely have to do a few catch up layouts for K to make it even. :)
This first layout was inspired by these adorable tags by Elle's Studio.
I created this second layout for Emma's Paperie. You can find all the supplies on the Emma's blog.
Hope you have a fabulous, relaxing week. Thanks for stopping by!

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
Happy December everyone!
Christmas is approaching fast isn't it? I have started Christmas shopping but have oh so much more to do! Hoping to get our Christmas tree and decorations up today.
I have been pulling out old Christmas photos and scrapping them. It has been so much fun and has really got me in the mood for the holidays. Found this one last night and started a new Christmas layout. This pic just make me smile. :)
Make sure to stop by the CMH blog to see her inspiration photo and check out the details for the new challenge. The winner will get to be our next Guest Designer.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Speaking of L, I created a different layout about her sense of humor earlier this week for the Challenge Me Happy Blog. Annelie gave us a wonderful layout she created as our inspiration for this challenge.

Reunion
Happy Friday everyone!
It is has been such a busy week,. My sweet girls have decided that they wanted to raise money for Compassion. After we discussed their options they decided they wanted to make and sell fleece blankets and donate the profits. I am very proud of them but it has created more work for me than I had expected. Each blanket needs to be cut before they can start tying them.
L had another gymnastics meet this last weekend. I really enjoy watching these meets but this one was even more fun than usual. While talking to a friend in Bloomington we found out that L was going to be competing against her old gym. :) Two of her closest friends and their families were there. :) Then as we are chatting before the meet I hear a loud exclamation and look up to see DH talking to a sweet friend of ours from Carmel. We used to usher with her and her husband her daughter went to L's gym before we moved to Bloomington. It was so much fun to spend time with all of these dear sweet friends of ours.
A few weeks ago I posted some pictures from our fall photo shoot. While I was taking pictures I got some great ones of my DH with the girls. They were acting all goofy as I snapped pictures. Once I started looking at them closer I realized how much he looked like he was imitating Superman. From there the layout just took a life of it's own. :) It was the perfect title, he really is such an amazing husband and dad. :)
You can find the photo that inspired the layout along with the supply list on the Emma's Paperie blog.

For My Sister
I come from a family of five. I am the oldest and I have one sister and one brother.
Personally I like this picture better. Haha
My brother is in the army just ending being stationed all the way in Hawaii. He will officially be back in the states this month. My sister lives in our hometown in Wisconsin. She has always been the the relational one. She is still very close to two of her friends from elementary school, not to mention keeping in touch with numerous others. She is the one that calls and texts often, makes sure everyone remembers birthdays and anniversaries. She is also the one that is constantly admiring my work and asking me to make cards and gift boxes for her friends. And that makes me feel good about my work. I am lucky to have her. :)
Recently a friend of hers had surgery and a group of her friends decided to put together a gift basket. After receiving a gift box from me for her birthday, my sister asked me if I could make one for her to give to her friend. I created two gift bags, one for her and one for a friend of mine for her birthday.
You can find the supply list on the Emma's Paperie blog right here.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!!!

We are the Champions!
What a long, cold, exhausting, FUN weekend! K had her soccer tournament this weekend and after 4 VERY close games, they came out the champions for the U14 girls. Last night was probably the worst weather with 45 degree temperatures and wind gusts of 20mph. Those poor girls were wind burned and frozen by the end of the game. We rolled back into town at 9:45, tired but happy.
After a bit of a rough start trying to find the right team for her in town, she has landed in a good place. These girls are sweet, supportive, fun and committed. Looking forward to the winter season.
My sweet in-laws came this weekend to take L to her gymnastics meet so that we could go to the tournament, then they drove all the way to Michigan because L wanted to support her sister and at least see some of her games. I think grandma and grandpa were happy to be there too. :) L did well at her meet, getting 5th all around for her level and mastered the fly away on the bars. I am so proud of her! She has been struggling with this skill and she did it at the meet!
Wanted to share a layout I did for Emma's Paperie last week. I didn't realize my banners were a bit crooked until I posted this, sorry. Hmmm... Anyway our assignment was to use banners and the banners on this layout are straight now :)
Sending out prayers to all may friends on the east coast. Thinking about you in the next few days! Hugs.

Fall is here
Oh the weather has been glorious the last few days. We had some rain and nasty wind this weekend but once that blew over it has been absolutely perfect. I just love this time of year.
The rain held off for K's game this weekend and I must say it was worth sitting in the cold to watch them. They did not win but put up a REALLY good fight. The team they played were ranked 3 divisions higher than her team and only won by 2 points, one of them which was a penalty shot. Her coach has set up another scrimmage against them this weekend trying to get the girls ready for a tournament at the end of the month. It should be good.
L's meet was a good show for their first meet of the season. Although not perfect, I can definitely see a HUGE improvement from last year. She is just so much more polished. I am looking forward to seeing her compete more this winter.
In between rain drops we were able to get some fall pictures taken this weekend. We literally had to dart to the car as the rain started coming down. They always say that overcast days are good for photos and the proof was this weekend. I was happy with so many of the photos. These were taken on a hill near L's old school, not too far from here.
So now for a quick layout before I go and snuggle with my sick L.
Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thanks for stopping by!

Found this great frame at Hobby Lobby and thought I would give it a try.
