It's August already!!!

With things at work still so busy it just seems like time is flying by this year. I can't believe that we are into August already. Before you know it the holidays will be here again.

Next week we are getting ready to start our 3rd and final bathroom upgrade. So it will be goodbye to the 1960's pink tile vanity and lenoleum floors and hello to ceramic tile and granite countertops. Nothing too fancy just brining the style up to date. We saved the hardest upgrade for last....the master bathroom. I'm not looking forward to the workers coming in and out of the house, but we can't do it ourselves so I just have to suck it up and deal with it.

I've also been keeping busy on the crafting side. Just yesterday I went to a local consignment shop to inquire about space availability. The owner of the shop seemed very nice, but right now they have a wait list for cards and tote bags....so it might be a while before I get a spot. I picked a place because it is less than 3 miles from my house, so stopping in would be easy. So keep your fingers crossed that a spot opens up soon.

I have been doing a lot of playing with my pazzles tool lately. I got it back in March and am finally getting some time to learn more.

Here are a couple recent pages:



This is my niece at her princess party last year. I normally hate purple, but didn't want to change the background in the pitures....so I went with it and have to say I was happier than I thought I would be with a purple layout.


and this is my nephew also from last summer when he had no front teeth. This little guy is getting ready for first grade next month!!!!
