A few layouts!

Just a few layouts I did at the crop a few weekends ago!

This Ice Cream in a bag was from a few weeks ago, when I was helping in his classroom, and they partnered up to make this homemade ice cream in a bag! And, it was yummy, no kidding.

This one is from my first Crop Suey kit! I love this pic. I think it worked out well with these papers,and vintage ledger.

And, this one of Chap is with the same Crop Suey kit!

I love this layout and the pics of my sister. This October Afternoon paper is so great. I can't get enough of it.

And, of course, that Accucut circle is not half bad either! :)

Minnie Marathon

I am just now working on these photos........but I was in a "lovey-dovey" kind of "hooray for me in my marathon training" kind of mood...............so I worked on these pages!

Watch out Martha!

Step One:

Take an middle-sized pumpking, some mod podge, and some Martha Stewart Glitter (MS works best b/c it is ultra fine)

Step Two:

Coat entire pumpkin with Mod Podge. Add glitter.

Coat stem with mod podge. Add glitter.

Step Three:

Place Bling'd out pumpkin on tray, and add a few natural elements....and Viola!

I am loving this one on my table!

An invitation for you!

Ok, so all of you bazillion blog readers (well, ok, really just 3).....you are cordially invited to church with us Sunday! We have 2 services! 8:30 and 11am!

Scott is singing at both services, and I just love it when he sings, so I thought I would shoot out the invite!

And, he is teaching our Young Couples class at 9:45 am, so won't you join us?!

God with us....or atleast me!

I did it! I did it! I did it! 14 miles today! Wow, what a great way to start a day!

I had a friend (he is 50!!) to run the middle 8 miles with me! I ran the first 4.......feeling great, he joined in, we ran, busy roads.......still feeling great......then at 12......i ran home! Literally.

The last 1 1/2 mile.....I put my ipod back in..... and had a little bit of Mercy Me goodness.

Then, at .80 to go......this song came on! Now, I like the Mercy Me version, but I really like the version down below (my bro-in-law) better. A little up-tempo.

So, that last .80 i ran.......hands raised in the air, smile on my face, probably almost skipping at a sub 9 minute mile...... praising God, thanking Him, and just beside myself! I was doing it! I was running it! 14 miles!

What a great day! Enjoy the video! I know just thinking of this song makes me happy!
