to once again keep this darn blog updated! Things have been a bit crazy in the past month...too much to get into right now...but I will be back with some updates on our lives...
One note....Brian will be having total knee replacement surgery on May 3. Please keep him in your prayers, praying that all goes well and for a speedy, smooth recovery. We can't wait for all of us to be able to enjoy the simple things again, like taking a hike at the park! :)

It's been 2 1/2 months...
Since I've posted anything!!! Yikes!!! We really haven't even been that busy! Here's a quick recount...
Haleigh may be skipping a grade next year...she needs the challenge...but, that's a scary proposition that we are only considering at this time.
Dakota won 3rd place in the school science fair. He then traveled to Cleveland for the Concept Schools Science and Engineering Fair (all of the charter schools ran by concept schools). He won Best of Category!!!
Work has been very busy (and that's a good thing!).
And, for the last two weeks, we've been "updating" Dakota's room. He's almost 12 and he has done sooo well in school, we figured he deserved a room makeover (Haleigh's is next...we just need a bit of a break). Here are the before and after pics...
BEFORE (Excuse the mess and the bad photos):
AFTER:
It seemed to have taken forever! Textured walls were definitely our nemesis. And, surprisingly, the red wall was the least of our worries!
So, I'm hoping to get back into the blogging thing...even if nobody reads it! :)

I'm back!!!
Long time no post! We had a super enjoyable holiday but, super busy (of course!). Now, it's back to business! Only two weeks into the new year and I have completed FOUR layouts!!! I have a goal of 125 this year (I made that many last year) and I hope to make it. Maybe even actually complete one of our vacation albums! That would be a bonus!
So, one of the layouts that I completed was for the challenge on American Crafts blog. It was a 30 minute challenge...right up my alley! This one took only about 20 minutes and the longest part was coming up with a title! But, I think that it worked out pretty well!
Materials used :
American Crafts Everyday pattern paper "Hiya"
American Crafts Craft Fair pattern paper "Rose McGrain"
American Crafts Letterbox pattern paper "Hello"
American Crafts Blue Skies flair
American Crafts felt Playroom thickers
