ScrapMatters A Perfect Picnic Blog Train!!

Welcome to the next stop! You should have arrived here from Maria (scrapmuss)'s blog. If not, you can start the train at Andrea's site. Either way, welcome! I've got a great freebie for you made from the super-adorable picnic-themed collab kit. But first, this summer's favorite memory has to be firefly-hunting. We took our boys to the field behind our neighborhood and went crazy chasing the glowing bugs. I'll always remember how excited they all were. To end the evening we sat down on the grass and just watched what the boys called "the firefly show". The field was filled with hundreds of fireflies and we just sat and were together as a family. Don't you love summer? So on to the freebie:

I hope you enjoy the cluster! On to the next stop, Natasha's blog. Happy Summer!

A Litte Catch Up

First off, there's a Speed Scrap tomorrow! I'm going to try to make it, but it's right when the kids get home, so we'll see. It's at 1pm MST and hosted by Christine.

This has been a crazy scrapping month!! Wow! The Queen of Scrap competition was in full force over at SM. It was fun to watch Erica compete and I'm so glad she stuck it out and made the top ten! She finished 140 layouts! I worked not-so-hard and finished a measly 38. Here's a few of my faves from this month:

So now let's see if I can make more than 38 layouts this month too!

[i]NSD Blog Train

Welcome! You've arrived at the next stop in the ScrapMatters blog train! You should be arrive here from Kim's blog. If you missed the start, begin at Andilynn's blog.

My idea of paradise is a day all to myself! Last year for my birthday, DH gave me an entire day to myself. I spent the night at a friend's home and watched my favorite movie. With the house to myself, I slept in, did some yoga, and headed to breakfast. After enjoying a delicious hot cross bun, I had a pedicure and spent the day shopping. My remember the utter relaxation I felt with no responsibilities or demands on my time. I took time to be silent, to relax, and rejuvenate. By the end of the day, I was ready to head back to the hustle and bustle of daily life and I can't wait until my next 'day off'!!

Hopefully my QP will remind you of paradise! Here it is! Image is linked to 4shared.
