I am exhausted and now it's time to go on vacation.....

I have been a bad blogger these days. I am just trying to finish all my Maya Road projects, pack for myself and my boys, try and get the house in order before I leave, and work! Whew, I am exhausted before we even leave! It doesn't help that it is 105 degrees here (with the heat index) and pit dripping humid!! I am very excited to go on this vacation with my boys and my folks. My youngest is such an American history buff and I know he is just going to love visiting Boston, Philadelphia, and D.C. just to name a few places. I am so excited to show him these places he has only read about! I had better finish up those two loads of laundry and get some supper rolling for the kids! I haven't decided whether to take my laptop or not so if not....see you in two weeks!!

I have to share this with you......

Awkward Family Photos is the name of this site and it has had me in stitches for days!! Here are just a few! I can't stop laughing....only because I can think of 100's of photos of myself and my family from the early 70's and 80's that would certainly qualify to be featured on this site!!!! :)

 

 

 

My Maya Road tutorial is up!!

 

Come visit Maya Road DT blog to view my tutorial!! Enjoy your weekend!! :)

Birthdays, family time, and projects....

This last weekend was so wonderful! The kids and I spent time with my folks and my brother and his family. It was my dad's 70th birthday bash so we met up in Des Moines, which is half way for the Omaha families and the Iowa City family! I just wanted to wish my dad another Happy 70th Birthday and to say that it was so great for us all to be together to celebrate June 6, D-Day, Don Day!!! (that's my dad!)

 

 

Working and running kids to activities is all I seem to get done these days. I am busy trying to get all my projects done so I can ship them off for CHA before we leave on vaction in a couple of weeks. Lots to do and not enough hours in the day!! (sigh) I hope everyone is enjoying their Summer! I can't wait for VACATION!!!!

A wonderful weekend and a little Kelly Rae Roberts......

I had a wonderful time with my girlfriends this weekend as they whisked me off to Galena, Illinois, for my birthday get-away! We had so much fun and enjoyed the beautiful weather, the great food and fabulous shopping. I had one purchase and it was this....

 

I SO love the prints by Kelly Rae Roberts and this one just spoke to me! Thanks to my parents for the birthday money to acquire this little beauty! I hope to grab a few more as time goes by. Her work is so gorgeous and you MUST visit her site and check out the photos of her home! INCREDIBLE!!
