Today I wanted to tell you about my supplies for sale!! You can buy them from the links on the right of my blog- it will take you directly to Paypal. ***They are no longer available on my blog. Thank You***

Musical Melodies $2.00

This kit includes 17 highly distressed 12X12 papers and 13 elements including tags, photo corners, a border, and journal spots all in a classic brown and cream color scheme.

My awesome Digi Scrapbooking friend, Beth made a page using my kit. I am always impressed with her style and the cool digital effects she can do! Her daughter is so talented and every year they have recorded her playing her favorite piano songs- what a fabulous idea!

All the supplies used to make this page came from My Musical Melodies kit (except for the string and staples which Beth made.)

You’re A  Star Photoshop Template $1.00

This template is a two-page 12X12 fully-layered .psd file. It is ready for you to clip up to 28 photos in!!

This template was perfect for me to use to create a page of my extended family’s talent show. I think it would also be great for a sports page or highlighting the many different interests of your child.

(Papers and swirl elements made by Beth)

I am only selling these supplies for 1WEEK- so if you want them, don’t wait!

See you tomorrow for the Blog Hop!

Jessica Sprague Certified Digital Designers Blog Hop!!

I was intrigued about Digital Scrapbooking because of my friend Beth. She was a digital designer and creates amazing things. I have loved paper scrapbooking for over 15 years, so I thought I would never love sitting at the computer to scrapbook, but never say never! I took a digital scrapbook class at Jessica Sprague and was hooked! I have taken just about every Jessica Sprague class since. Recently I took her class that taught how to Design your own supplies. Now I am a Jessica Sprague Certified Digital Designer!

Some of us from class are participating in a blog hop. Yea! Freebies!

It begins on a week from Thursday!!

BTW- Jessica Sprague has a free class on her home page so you can see how to start digi scrapbooking. She also has a mini class every Friday for only $1.00 that includes everything you need (template, papers,  supplies and a video to see how to do it) for one page. These are her Photoshop Friday classes. Here’s my page from Photoshop Friday #1

Happy scrapbooking!

Swim Lessons

Andrew, Matthew, and David loved swim lessons this summer. I was worried that swimming everyday (rather than 2 times a week in the winter)  would be too much, but they loved it.

Andrew now knows all the stokes and swims laps.

Matthew can too, but he prefers cannon balls…

Everyone loves the last day when they get to dive off the diving boards and go down the water slides.

Austin begged me to take lessons and he looked forward to them everyday. He loved when he was allowed to splash his teacher and dump water on his head, but he refused to put his head in the water.

Kool Aid, anyone?

David always begs to do a Kool-Aid stand. I tell him to wait for a hot day (he asks even in the winter when its raining). So, he watched for a hot day on the Wii weather channel.

His brother was his first customer, but he did sell 7 other glasses.

The not so quiet, Quiet Time

Everyday we have a 1 hour quiet time after lunch. Everyone goes to their room and reads (supposedly) while my youngest sleeps and I have some alone time too. This time I heard loud sounds coming from Austin’s room. I had to go join the fun (and tell him to be a little quieter since Steven sleeps in the room next to him).

He had all his knights lined up on his window sill. He made a different voice for each one of them as they battled.  I love watching this little boy play!

Marshmallow Shooting

I cut a PVC pipe for each of them (and a friend) and  Andrew designed targets in Photoshop.  They put mini marshmallows in the PVC pipe and blew them at the targets. They kept track of their bullseyes by putting the marshmallow on the fence.  Steven decided to just eat his marshmallows. Then they found a new target…Those hit my forehead. That one hit and stuck to my camera lens.

Amazing!

Andrew, Matthew and I went to the Portland Mormon Choir and Orchestra concert last night- it was A-maz-ing!

Rob formed and directed the choir 5 1/2 years ago and now he is the board chairman and singing in the choir. I’m glad Andrew and Matthew enjoy going so I have someone to sit with :)

This was my favorite concert yet! Jenny Oaks Baker came and she was stunning and played flawlessly. The concert was captivating.

The concert included some theme songs from movies. Andrew and Matthew were especially excited to attend this concert because they actually sang 2 songs from Star Wars- I didn’t even realize Star Wars had any songs with singing! I barely grabbed this picture- it was so unexpected and funny! A Jedi came out and handed the orchestra director a baton- but it was a light saber- LOL! They actually turned the lights down and had sound effects like a light saber for a minute before they started the song.

 

The choir got silly and sang a medley from the movie Enchanted. They pulled it off and it was funny.

 

I’m looking forward to their Christmas concert- that’s always been my favorite (until now!)
