Tuesday Ten Spot...the Monthly Edition
1. I finally uploaded pics that have been in the camera for a MONTH!
2. I have been sketching layouts for Brenna's Special Care Scrapbook. I have definitely come down to a more reasonable number of pages. I think I am on the right track. Marie has graciously offered to give me a scrapbooking tutorial which I am definitely going to take her up on! I can't wait to see where I can go with this. I really feel like this scrapbook is going to be much more meaningful than 400 pictures stuck in an album. I already am thinking up layouts for my second scrapbook and haven't even started the first one....look out....here I go with a new crafty hobby! (I'm so glad summer vacation starts in a mere 6 weeks!) Ooo, I already made some purchases (yea for Target Gift Cards!): A self-healing cutting mat and a retractable craft knife with extra blades. I know this is only the beginning, but I do have some other supplies that were already part of my crafty side. And I got my first copy of Simple Scrapbooks Magazine. I was pleasantly surprised to see pictures of layouts created by people I know, with pictures of people and kids that I know. How fun! Good for you Marie! I do believe I will be subscribing to this one. Simple, yet meaningful layouts that are perfect for important memories. It definitely helped to spark some creative thoughts in my brain.
3. Brenna is doing very well. We managed 6 weeks in a row at day care with NO sick days.
Darn flu bug got her last week so we missed a couple of days but she is getting back to herself. She randomly sings parts of "The Alphabet Song" in her own little jumbled way but r..s.. and tuv...come out fairly understandable. I am so partial but SO proud! She is growing up too fast though!
4. I am still working on the photography...sometimes I even get some really good ones. Thanks to those of you offering advice. Who knew I would have to take 10,000 pictures to get 2 good ones? It's been fun so far.
5. Did I mention there are 25 school days left until summer break? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE TO TEACH, but with OAT testing the last two weeks in combination with some pretty good weather (this week Not included), I am feeling ready for a nice break.
6. The present daddy brought for the little girl during his last road trip to Indy...the BEST purchase by far, have paid for themselves already for outside play! Wash them in the sink with some hot soapy water...good as new...no worries about playing in the dirt and mud like canvas shoes. Plus, ask her to go get her shoes (from her bucket of shoes), she picks these every time! "Doorah's" she says.
7. I love piggy tails on little girl's head!
8. She keeps reminding us "I'm Brenna" over and over and over and over again...we know, sweet potato...we know.
9. She loves to play outside and have fun...
10. She has become an escape artist...in a very interesting way. (She was complaining and complaining last night before she went to sleep...went to check and this is what we found...that can't possibly be comfortable.
That was our month...how was yours?

i can't wait!!
She is so cute. I love the one with the pajamas.
It sounds like you have had a busy month. I love the Simple Scrapbooks Magazine. It makes me feel like I can do great layouts.
If Brenna is anything like Aubs in a year or two she is going to want to scrap with you. Aubs is to a point now where she will actually ask to scrap.
