You should have actually had this post in your sights last Monday. However, after rambling on about being tired...blah, blah, blah...recovering from back to back vacations...blah, blah, blah...and posting a few pictures, my computer crashes. I was just too tired to start over again until now. And, because, if it wasn't enough, I have also started watching my best friend's kids for the summer. They are both Carlos' age and they are really like cousins. I've been too busy this week going to the playground and Seaworld, breaking up "who started what" & "he's being mean to me" arguments, making endless amounts of peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and having Jengi Olympics to be able to catch up with everyone.
Here's a picture of Team Demark, Team Mexico and Team Animal posing with the precariously balanced Jengi tower minutes before Team Godzilla sent it crashing......
At which point the "Olymic Committee" *aka* Mom had to intevene and subdue the screams and shouts of ANDREEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!! Team Godzilla was banned from further Jengi competion.
I did have a few moment to work on another few pages of my Summer Journal. The theme for these pages is Ode to Summer......
The pages are still a work in progress. This page was really a challenge for me for some reason. At first I loved the direction in which it was taking....then, I did some things to it that I didn't like. I then tried to fix it. I' not sure how I feel about this page. The July 24th is from a little vintage calendar page that was in one of the packs I got from Jen. It's my wedding anniversary.....
Here's the next page......
hee, hee....like that vintage picture circa 1983? That's me and my best friend at the lake (and, no, that's not a dead person floating in the water next to us......at least I think it isn't). I used this picture because my grandparent's cottage holds so many great memories for me. Lot's of summer fun was had there. I'm really happy with this page so far. It's still is a work in progress, but I'm going to try to work on it later today.
I also wanted to show you something I won over at Sarah's blog Joy for the Journey.......
It's this huge Nancy Drew journal....I just love it Sarah! Thank you!!!
Ok, I am off to try to catch up on all my emails and everyone's blogs! Talk to you soon!!! Karin
