2 more: Jeff took the boys to see Thomas for the 3rd year in a row (I missed this year b/c I was working at the ER). Michael absolutely adores Sir Topham Hatt (whom he calls, simply, HATT), as you can see. Supplies: Karen Foster and Reminisce papers, Sandylion chipboard and stickers.


Journaling section 1: More of our garden produce! Gourds and Indian corn for decoration at home, church, & sold to friends & neighbors. Our garden (rented) on E. 14th St.
Journaling section 2: Mona came over to tell us what she had seen out her window late the night before. Our house was dark, she saw a couple guys tiptoeing, up & down, tip, toe, tip, toe up the steep hill of our far yard, pick up the gourds decorating our railroad ties in front of the flower garden, every last one of them, and tip, toe, tip, toe, back down the hill to their “getaway” car. We were sad/mad, but mostly just shook our heads and laughed. What the hell were those men going to do with those gourds anyway? They wouldn’t even smash satisfactorily like a pumpkin!

Supplies: Scenic Route papers, Prima flower, button, EKSuccess letter/number stickers

TFL! Cheri

A smörgåsbord for your viewing pleasure!

There is more journaling and a copy of the newspaper article sticking out from the circular pocket. For my scrapping friends, the supply list: Basic Grey Motifica paper, ANCIENT MAMBI stickers (I always liked their heritage line), and K & Company epoxy sticker.

The barn is a quilted piece of art I purchased through the Mary Greeley Medical Center Auxiliary art department. They always have a featured artist and works for sale in a couple hallways of the hospital. This artist is a nurse who works at the hospital. She painstakingly machine quilts around each tiny little element in the design, including each little brick in the lower part of the barn. It was our joint gift with my parents for my grandparents anniversary and a couple other holidays for this year.

Second image: Michael on our neighbor, Minnie's, swing. Junkitz papers, unknown chipboard circle and sticker, Queen and Co brads
Third image: Christopher at the park. This is a "scraplift" of a layout in the Basic Grey catalog from a year or so ago. Junkitz & Magenta papers, CraftRobo cut shapes (circle, heart), and stickers from my friend Kristina (see, I'm using them!!)...can't remember the brand off-hand.

Fourth image: Michael on the carousel at Adventureland: This was a class taught at Memory Bound Scrapbook store. Paper and flowers are MAMBI, die cut was cut on the CraftRobo, fonts are Rage, Dingos, ribbons are May Arts and circle stamp is 7 Gypsies.

Fifth image: A Day out with Thomas in Boone: I had to work at the Fast Track, so Jeff met his parents in Boone to take the kids on Thomas and do the various activities. He didn't bring the camera (2 boys are enough to handle), so we paid "mega" bucks to purchase the "professional" images...actually the boys smiled way better for him than they did for us the last 2 years, so it was worth it.
