Gosh! Has it really already been two weeks!? I just don't know where the time goes...it goes by faster and faster every single day!
Well...we have had lots going around these parts. We have something really cool that we are doing at our church this week. It's called The Tabernacle Experience. The guys (including my super awesome Honey) put it up at our church on Friday and it opened on Saturday. Derek and I had the first slot volunteering Sat morning...and it was almost cooler watching people go through it than going through myself.
Then Sunday, was the annual kids program at church. Corbin did soooo great! He had a line and a solo part, also. I was so proud of him!! (I have pics, but haven't downloaded them to my computer yet)
And our choir is also working on The Odes Project to finish off the Tabernacle Ex on Sunday night. I am making 300 programs for this...and it is A LOT of work. More than I had anticipated. I'm anal and a perfectionist, so I'm not sure I can physically let anyone help me...but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea. We'll see.

The boys and Remi and I just got back from a walk and playing at the school playground. The weather is SOOO awesome. There were some gross buggies landing on me...but other than that we had fun. Corbin rode his bike. He is getting better and better. Bryson is starting to ride his little bike, too. He still needs some work :)


We had a really great Easter, too! Seems like it was months ago...
















And I last but not least...Corbin had a program at school a few weeks ago. He had to dress in something green...so I made him a costume...a bag of green jellybeans. Turned out pretty good!! :D












Ok...that's all for now!
Hope your week is going great!

Good Morning!!!
I am thrilled to be apart of a BLOG HOP this morning for the ONE YEAR Anniversary over at Triple the Sketch. I can't believe it's already been a year...time flies!! Hope you are getting a lot of inspiration this morning from all of the TTS girls.
This is the first blog hop I have ever been a part of...so it is pretty exciting! (I think!!)
Hopefully you have arrived from Elizabeth's blog...(You should be starting your hop at the Triple the Sketch blog. If you did not start there, please return to the TTS blog so that you don’t miss any of the fun!)

Ok, so we were to pick one of our favorite sketches from the past year and my favorite is #14. (It was actually REALLY hard to choose one!!)












Here is what I originally did with this sketch...one of my favorite LOs, from a really great day!!












I think this sketch is REALLY flexible for any size LO, cards or anything else your heart desires!! :) On this LO, I opted not to do the scallops on the whole page and just added a small, scalloped, chipboard frame to mimic the scallop edge. (click on images to enlarge)

Not only can you win a RAK at TTS, but you can also leave a comment here and be eligible for MY RAK:











(Note: There is a missing sticker at the bottom...where the arrow are pointing. Just wanted to let you know :D)
