has finally arrived and I want to give one away with some other goodies!!!!!!! All you have to do is post on this thread and I will get my kids to pick a name on Friday! I have only had a chance to flip through it quickly, but what I did see I loved! Full of inspiring ideas!!!! Jennifer McGuire ROCKS!!!! And so do the rest of the contributors!!
Here is the cover again-
And here is one of my projects from the book-
I used a bunch of rub ons and layered them on cardstock and then I cut out the flourish pattern.
So, we had a great weekend! Went to a birthday party for my BFF's Kelly's daughter. The kids had cake and then went mini putting! It was hot but fun!!!! Then we went to see the progress on the new house. Kids loved walking through it and throwing the nails around- little monkies! I climbed the ladder to see the second floor and then I was too scared to climb back down!!! Was sure they would have to call the fire dept.!!!! Rich finally talked me down! My Mom told me we have windows as of yesterday. Hopefully it all stays on track! After the house visit we went to visit my brother, SIL and Jake. The kids had fun but they did not want to leave! They never do! It was a fun filled day!
On Sunday we went to the circus and the kids loved it! Especially the cotton candy and popcorn!!! After that we went to my MIL's for a Father's Day BBQ and a swim. The pool was 80 degrees but man! it is cold at first! I really enjoyed spending the time with the kids and our family! I missed seeing my Dad though. I will have to make it up to him!! Do something unexpected and special!
Here are a few pics from the weekend-
Rich and the kids!
My FIL and the kids and Reed.
Dev- she is a nut! Seriously!
I had a blast chatting with the girls at Scrapbook Goddess last night! They were a hoot!
Ok, I am off! I have a tone to do today! Remember- post if you want a chance at the Rak!!!!!
Sounds like you had a great weekend!! Take care ;)

I had to laugh at the not wanting to climb back down the ladder! I have done that too many times, you think I would have learned the first time! LOL Stairs are always good. :)

Sounds like you had a GREAT weekend! when we were building my kids loved to throw the nails from the first level into the basement or outside and guess who had to pick them all up when it was all done?? Yep, me, so they wouldn't step on and then have to take to the er for a shot in their butt!

For a split second I was with ya there on the ladder and my stomach did a flip. I'm sooooo NOT a heights person. Glad you touched down again safely. ;) Would love to have my name dropped in the hat Vic. Very generous of you!

Not a big fan of climping up nor down from a ladder...I really can relate. But, I do love a RAK...so, count me in.
