I can do it !

I downloaded some free software so that I can scan and stitch together 12x12 scrap pages !
Here are some I did awhile ago and just got to scanning. Thanks to Joy for pushing me to get going!





















In other news, I've got a busy few weeks planned.
I might be helping teach the sunday school at our church. I had a ton of fun with VBS, so I got the call for s.s. There is a meeting before the rally next week.

I'm thinking of going to a stampin' up party in Belle Plaine, I want to see the new catalog and maybe meet some other die hard crafters.

Ben's preschool is starting soon, so we have to go to registration and sign up for the parent class. Ben calls it night school. Last year we had a lot of fun and I even got brent to go for most of the second session. I know it drives brent nuts to do anything slightly crafty, so it was pure torture I'm sure ! :)

The owner of the local scrap store approached me about working there. She needs someone to cover afternoons/early evenings and it might just work out. No money of course, but fun work I'm sure. She said that we have totally different styles so we would compliment eachother well. Brent teased me about my 'style' being totally different from most everyoe else !

This, on top of my regular two 1/2 jobs. And brent's racing. And the winthrop house. And brent's super busy at work StiLL!

Hello there!

Is anyone even reading this? It's been a month, so i assume I'm talking to myself here....

Here's what's new:

• Work, some of it sucks, some of it doesn't. My morning job is draining the life out of me. My trucking co is rocking! I'm learning so much there and I like the variety. My old landscape job is driving me nuts. They are really pathetic, so I help them out when I can, but I can only do so much. Either way, super busy
• New (flipping) house, we took all of July off because it was so bloody hot, and brent's got a pinched nerve in his back. He was pretty incapacitated. We went back this week, and I'm trying to get into it again. I just want the kitchen done. There is so much painting and touch up to do. Plus I really need someone to help me put on the cabinet hinges.
• Brent's racing has been good and terrible. He's either in the top 5 or doesn't finish. It's dissapointing when he works so hard and doesn't do well. At least we've got a few wins this year to help it along!
• Brent's work: super busy. Annoyingly busy. Never around busy. Cranky busy. I'm way past this, hopefully when he finishes up a few more projects, things can get back to normal.
• We did VBS (Vacation Bible School) and it was so cool. Exhausting, but cool. My neighbor and I did the crafts for the 3-8yr olds. Ben had a blast and it was neat.
• Our friend george is living with us. I'm worried about him, but hopefully being here is helpful. we luv having him
• I've got banana bread in the oven.......mmmmmmmmmmm.
• I've been scrapping. Some of the best ones are below: (honestly when am I going to learn to scan and stitch layouts?)
• I think that's about it...........
