Actually, I think at the time of that post the kids named him Milo. But then they thought Max would be more fitting. Anyway, the vet had offered to hang onto him, give him his shots (just in case for a precaution being with the other dogs) and put ads in the paper to try and find his owners. All for free mind you. They weren't able to find his owners (if they even wanted him) but when we went in there last week they said they had found him a home! I love when stories have a happy ending :) Of course, my kids still miss him and want him back. Me, I love dogs but 3 is just too many!!
Let's see, we've got safari hats, Woody hat on top of Olivia's safari hat, belts, a Twilight wristband, a suitcase, a Woody vest. And, oh yeah, that's Transformers underwear around my daughter's wrist. Don't ask...
Why do we as fish owners always feel it's necessary to get tank decorations that represent something that could eat our fish?? Not sure about that one. The kids have been bugging me to get some fish. So, I got the cheapest aquarium possible. I like to look at fish but I don't want to clean up after them. So a small tank is just perfect for us. There's 2 glowfish and 3 tiger barbs. The kids love them...and it's less hassle than a bunny or hamster. Definitely.
That picture on the front made me laugh. Check out the pipe in the dog's mouth. hehe It came from the priest of our church who's in Ireland right now. He's originally from there but has lived in the U.S. most of his life. He goes back home every July to visit family. I thought it was cute that the sent this to my kids knowing how silly they are and how much they like animals & dogs :)
The first one is my grandpa and the second is my uncle, both of whom I never knew.
Great history. I can't wait to scrap these (and the other 1100 photos on the CD my dad gave me. whew!)
All supplies from the June Studio Calico kit.
and btw, if you've seen my sidebar can you please let me know??? it seems to be hidden!
whew, there it is!
A flux capacitor for your A/C unit. I didn't realize it was from the future! Ok, maybe it's just a plain capacitor. And when this thing goes there's no cold air. Nadda. Zilch. And that's not a good thing in southern GA when the temps have been in the mid/high 90s for the last month. Yep, this went yesterday. It's always nice to spend that kind of money on an A/C unit that less than 4 yrs old. I tell ya, we've had nearly as many problems in new houses as we did in our house back in Michigan that was 72 yrs old. What's even nicer is spending that kind of money for a workman that was in your house no more than 15 min. Note to self ~ start a furnace repair business.
Notice in this next one I used the leftover piece from the shaped paper in the 1st one. Nothing goes to waste :)
For some reason I couldn't get the color right in this picture. It's an odd color green and it just didn't photograph well. The close-ups show the actual color of the green cardstock.
That's it for today. Hopefully tomorrow I can share some new Stampin' Up! goodies. Boy, their new catalog is my fave so far!!!
When I told my daughter about all the people tubing there she said "Did you do it???" which huge excitement in her voice! Oh yeah, I can't wait to take the kids there for a mini-vacation. They would so get into it!
This is what happens when you have 2 scrappers who are very excited to get away for the weekend...
This was around 2am. Notice there's no one else up. We couldn't figure it out. That first night we were up til nearly 4am. The second night til around 1am I think. Yep, we had most of the others beat. Guess they're not true scrappers.
I'm opting not to show the picture of Carol table dancing. Hey, her sweetie came on the radio (aka Kenny Chesney). She couldn't help herself ;) Oh, and there was no one else in the room at the time. Although, one girl looked shocked as Carol jumped down from the table as she walked in. hehe Good times!
I may have shared this next one in a previous post. I used some of my Shabby Chic Crafts tags in both of these. Now I normally don't use blue cardstock (I seem to gravitate toward white and kraft) but it was part of a past kit and I wanted to use it up. Plus it matched the summer theme of the photos.
So that was our trip in a nutshell! Lots of fun, can't wait for the next one!!! And Kellie, you'd better be there next time :)
Mmmm, those were good, too! And all of those chocolate chips were sitting there melting into gooey goodness. Everyone wanted seconds which is always a good sign!
I won this paper pad on the October Afternoon blog a week ago (actually, while I was in Helen on my scrappy weekend). I was so excited!!! I've been wanting to get my hands on some of that paper for a while now. Too bad I already did my vacation mini-album. But I'm sure I can figure something else to do with it ;)
I was inspired by Gretchen's recent post. I knew I wanted to use the red lace cardstock and then I jumped over to her blog today and guess what she used on hers? Yep! So I pulled out some of my scraps for accents and there you have it :) Although, looking at that picture I realize my ribbon is a bit crooked, gotta go fix that!
