Bad Blogger of the year award ....

It has been a little over 2 months since i have updated the blog. So much has happened since my last post that it is going to be difficult to share all the fun and excitement we have been up too. So in an effort to not exhaust everyone , I will keep it short.



I have been lucky enough this summer to sneak in a few moms nights out at Archivers with my scrapbook friends Terri and Jennifer. I have a gallery at Scrapattack where i have loaded many of my pages and cards. I did join a stamp kit club at Unity I love their products and I love getting a package from them. I recently won a prize on their facebook page, makes me love them even more! (thanks to my dear friend Tania!)

Oh La la - crepes, see photos below


So Grateful, this card is using the stamps from my June Unity stamp kit

July 15Th we celebrated out 15Th wedding anniversary! Gosh , i love this man!



We spent the 4th of July weekend in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. This was Kevins first trip to the city. The kids were excited to show them all the things they loved about our trip last year. Philadelphia never stops amazing me, around every corner there is something new, a peice of history the kids would never have learned about otherwise. The food is amazing, the history is incredible, the people (usually) kind. We love Philadelphia.
