I have been spending my evenings making cards!

Its been nice to just sit and make either a large batch of cards or just one or two to fill up my stash. I have really been trying to get them out to the people on my list so please forgive me if i missed you! If you want me to send one to you just let me know!! lOL. Here is one that my friend Darla and I did as a team effort. We did them assembly line and then split them up!

Challenge layout for the retreat blog

This challenge was easy. All we had to do was pull a product out of our stash that we have had for more than six months. The pp I have had forever and the little title banner thin i have had sooo long that i really don't know HOW long I have it. I keep trying to use it on a layout then I don't and it sits in my little leftover bucket and just said "Robin use the dang thing"!!!!

BLUE THUNDER!!!

Today was the air show where I live. I wasn't all gung ho about it and even made plans to be out of town so I didn't have to deal with people and traffic. Since I live just a few blocks from the airport I didn't want to see what my neighborhood would look like during the festivities. But last week as the us navy pilots started test runs I was sad I was leaving!! I did leave town and had a BLAST!!! (thank you Lois!!), but I did come back home JUST in time to see the BLUE THUNDER!! A LOT of the tricks were right above my house and I managed to get some GREAT shots!!! It was so amazing I cried! Blubbering idiot that I am! Just wish the boys had been here to see them!!

creative play

I did finally get to be a bit creative this weekend. Didn't get a TON of layouts done but did get a bit! Here is one that is for a challenge on the 4 girls and a dream retreat blog! The challenge was to take a photo of something that represents summer for us. I took photos of my little garden!!

Today my oldest turned 13. I can not believe how fast the last 13 years have gone! We had a fun day filled with lunch at red robin, then off to see The Karate Kid, then home for cake and ice cream! Boys played outside as long as the light and wind would allow and now we are all tucked in watching the first season of survivor on dvd (never watched it)


I love this boy! Happy bday!
