This is a project that I have wanted to do for awhile.  I saw it in the creating keepsakes magazine a couple of months ago and fell in love with it. It was an Ali Edwards piece in which she used transparency very well in this word book.  This word book is made by Bo Bunny and I used 7 gypsies and Hambly patterned paper.  The alphabet stickers are American Crafts and the word stickers are Making Memories.

I used vertical 5x 7 photos.. they fit the best. I also loved using everyday photos of nonsense... I was a bit scared to crop the photos in the shapes of the letters, but when  I did, I loved it.

Holiday Project: Pumpkin Decor

I friend Lydia found this project online and shared it with all of us.   This project done by magpie, and when I saw it,  I knew I had to do it.  In her sample she creates a beautiful pear,  and I decided to do a pumpkin.  I found this Russian book in the lost and found box at work.  The book had not been claimed all summer so I thought I could make good use of it.   I also saw Anthropology use this technique to decorate their store.  They had four or five hung vertically in their store window in rows of 10 or 12.  

This is a great technique and you should try it... directions are on the site of magpie...good luck and have fun.

Cold Weather + Soccer Games

We all went out Saturday night in the cold weather watch the boys Chad coaches.  I was anticipating that it would rain, but it didn't.  We were able to sit right in back of the team with out bothering them and the kids were able to run around and up and down the bleachers that were near by.  
Te game ended in a tie, but the kids were entertained well.  

Halloween fun

We traveled to Kingsburg for the weekend to spend Halloween with my mom and my sister.  We went trick or treating with all the kids and got so much candy... Caleb (above) looked super cool in his vintage football uniform. Megan, who I didn't get a good picture of, went as Dorthy and Maddi pranced around in a clown outfit.  

She is too cute!!!

Ct went out like an army guy...my mom made this great costume and we got so many compliments everywhere we went. He was so delighted to walk up to a house stick his helmet out and get candy.
And Savana was a bumblebee.  She had decided to be a bee about three weeks ago and could not stop talking about it.  We all had a great time in Kingsburg.
