This is 13 - Scrapbooking

Good Morning everyone!  Happy Monday.  For us it is the first day of school...don't know how much actual school we will be getting done, so many organizational, setting up Ainsley's folders, exploring the new materials, but...... Today I wanted to share with you a scrapbook layout I made with photos of Ainsley....yep, this is Ainsley, who is now 13!  How is that even possible?  sigh

And when did 13 start looking like this?  lol  These photos were taken on our way to dinner on her 13th birthday.  Lots of older Webster's pages and Prima here...just a bit of texture paste as well...trying to keep things simple.

Well, I guess I have three teenagers now.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

Back to Monday

Hi everyone!  Oh goodness....it is Monday....and today is going to be our first "real" day of school.  We officially started classes last Monday as that is what the charter school we belong to requires.  That said, most of the week was spent organizing and getting ready for the real work to begin...and besides....the older two's online courses start today and the classes at the Junior College start next week, so it wasn't like they had a lot of work.  hee hee

Anyway, can't believe this is going to be our 11th year homeschooling!  Eeek!  Where did it go.  And Brighton will be a senior?  College apps, SATs, Senior portraits all in my near future.  sigh.  Watching my friends over the last week take their children to college and leave them....cry....I am just not ready for this.

Well, anyway....enough of that.

Today there is a new sketch and card challenge up at the Sampler.  You know I play with the sketch so....

and mine...

Gotta love what happens when teenagers play musical chairs.  So much fun!  lol  And I love the patterns ad colors in this month's kit from the Sampler.  Oh, and some fabulous Pink Paislee tissue paper!  swoon.

OK, well.....with that I am off to get these children some learning.  Don't forget to check out the card challenge and the other girls takes on the sketch.

Hugs.

and I'm back

Hi everyone!  Sorry I have been gone so long, but....Hawaii!!!!  Days spent playing in the ocean, hiking to waterfalls, enjoying the sand and beautiful sunsets.  So, here are a few photos of our trip that I am looking forward to scrapping.  All straight out of the camera since I have yet to find time to work on editing them.

Not much else to share today.  I am trying to get caught up on life...get school started.  Life with two teenagers is not easy right now.  sigh

Hugs.
