...i hope all my canadian friends and family who just celebrated Thanksgiving this past weekend had a lovely and warm long weekend! we didn't do much in ways of celebrating this year...kept it low key as the four of us are all battling off fall colds right now. so on sunday, mike bbq'd us steaks...i made roasted garlic/dill baby potatoes...caesar salad...and then onto the Jets game ( can't believe they lost! )...but there's still 81 games to go on the upside! HAHA!
...i have been inspired once again by all the crazy talent over at Studio Calico to try the newest rage in scrapbooking...a chevron design.
i chose to be brave and try figuring the design and how to cut for myself...and let me just tell you that although i am happy witht the outcome, i won't be doing another chevron design in the near future!
(wink)
i was happy to finally make a layout using one of courtney's pictures i took from her "13 year old" photo shoot...
...and i decided in the end to hand stitch the papers together to add some more character...
WHEW.
...hmmm...
i was thankful on tuesday to go to SPORT CHECK where i was helped by a very well informed employee to choose some new kicks for me!
"Momma needs a new pair of shoes..."
hahahaa....seriously tho, i have a crummy heel spur on my right heel that if any of you have ever had one can sympathize with me how painful it is...so with that knowledge, the guy in the store helped select the best pair to help a girl out!
Eep!
...AND..
as promised, here's the final take on my simply planned
30 Day Photo Challenge Mini...
...i really had fun with this project. the fact that each day's photo was already planned out made it a super easy and super fun challenge to complete!
I hope that those of you who did try it out with me also had fun and were able to complete the challenge as well!
...and one last thing...
thought i'd share a peek at what i am in the process of making for courtney!
this is turning out to be very difficult to pic which photos to use in this mini because i love them all...but i sure am having fun making it!
(of course you'll see photos when it's complete!! )
...be back soon...
:)
i love your layout!! and i get you on heel spur - hubby had that earlier this year and it was heartbreaking to watch!
