My new Fav!

Anyone who knows me WELL, knows I am NOT a jewelry fan!

Men hate it...lol...no easy gifts! I have my ears pierced twice, yet both remain empty except for family pictures or holidays (LOL) I seldom wear even my wedding rings, my hubby even bought me an anniversary band a few years ago...as a lure to get me to wear it more. I do put it on to leave the house, but it comes off before my shoes even when I return home!


Last year, a friend gave me this sweet charm and necklace, to fill with a picture of my daughter and the other side she made an insert saying "guard mom" (for Colorguard). I'd thought about it, but just never found the right photo. Today I finally got around to putting in a picture and I LOVE IT!!! I will wear it ALWAYS....(ok to every football game this season is more realistic) but that's an improvement!

There may be hope for me after all!

Girl Monday?

NOPE....It's Girl FRIDAY, one of my favorite new lines by Cosmo Cricket! I made this lil flip book album in a convention workshop at GASC last weekend. The class was alot of fun and taught by none other than STACI ETHERIDGE, fellow Texan and scrapbooker extraordinaire! She was a great teacher, very upbeat, but kept the instructions good from all levels of scrappers. (ok, except the ones behind us who decided about 5minutes in there were gonna "watch" instead of create"....what's up with that? I think they might have been "pretend scrapbookers").

Everyone who has seen the book LOVES it...My #1 fan on this creation was my daughter who gets to keep it, as I used it to record her Band Banquet event photos!

Picture Day

As the colorguard season wraps up for this year, I've been waiting for a good day to take her our in her costume from marching season and get some photos. The weather was finally nice and the sky a bit cloudy this weekend...perfect for photos!

Here are a couple of my favorites...
