Green!

So, I've noticed lately that I'm hooked on green. Not the earth friendly, Eco, biodegradable, recycle green (although I do recycle). I'm talking about the color. I am in looove with apple green in particular.

Chappy!!

Emersyn just loves chappy!! Every time she comes over she heads to my bathroom and says "MiMi, I need 3 chappies"! Then she has to apply each one. Since she got a boatload for her birthday, I was able to put mine away in the drawer.

Our Princess turns 3!

Sketch Along Tuesdays #22 at "Frosted Designs". This is my first time posting a layout at a website other than Two-Peas-In-A-Bucket or Scrapbook.com.

I'm not crazy about the design of my title. I might change it or get over it.



I hope they don't mind over at Frosted Designs that I changed the size from a 12x12 to 8.5x11.
This was loads of fun and I can't wait to get started on another sketch challenge.

Very productive day. I went to see Peggy and worked on looking for photos to scrap. Even though we didn't actually cut any paper or paste anything down, she still enjoyed herself and considered it a "scrappy" day. Not sure if I posted this picture of the two of us in a previous post or not. We went to Baker's Square for lunch one day and I got the waitress (do they still call them that?..server?) to take this picture of us.
I'm hoping to get Wendy to come over to Peggy's and take our picture while we scrap. I think Diane would love that. Peggy's Alzheimer's seems to be progressing rather quickly...it's just too sad.

On a lighter note, Eric seems to be having waaaay too much fun with the camera settings on his Droid. I will for sure have to ask him for pointers. This picture was taken while they were at the park. People were flying kites and Eric just happened to have a couple in his trunk.
Emmy flying a kite!
Love the color and crispness of this photo he took. Another awesome shot of Emmy...
Covering a shell to hide for later.
Too sweet!! I love the colors of this one too. He's getting great at composition also! With the bad storm we had last night, Eric and family were without power for most of the day. We had them over for dinner. I did go into the office after lunch with Jenn, but the office was without power all day too so it looks like my plans to scrap and knit tomorrow are going to wait until after I get things done there. Speaking of lunch with Jenn, we went to the Tree House in Avon. Quaint little antique shop with amazing lunches. I had the lobster bisque and strawberry salad...yum! and Jenn had the chicken/artichoke soup and turkey salad. Both were delish!! We did have to deal with some pesky bees while trying to eat out on the little patio.

A good run.

Went for a 2 mile run this morning. It was a good run although I might get out there earlier on Friday to avoid the back to school buses and traffic.
