Happy National Scrapbook Day!

It's a pass time we all love! One that unites us in many ways. Sharing our moments and cherishing our creations! Through our passion of scrapping we have formed great friendships and fostered old ones.

Just think how many times have you called or emailed or even posted over this passion we share? Like sharing news of a great sale going on at Paperthreads or Hobby Lobby or the newest line of papers that you just saw at your local scrapbook store? AND when your stuck, you know you can always get help! By posting to a forum or a group to get that answer you need. If it's trying to figure out a setting for your machine or why your paper shoots out at a rapid speed. You know that someone will come along that can give you the information you need.

Of course we can't forget the many times we have laughed the times we have cried sharing our life stories through our pages, a phone call or reading from blogs. I can't imagine any other pass time that has brought so many together in such short amount of time. This is why we celebrate, it is how we are united and I'm proud to be apart of National Scrappers' around the world.

happenings....

many new things are going on here... with the school year in full swing the girls have had many new oppurtunities that they have sought out... and our schedule is getting full!!!

Jennifer and Kristen are now cheerleaders for the 7th and 8th grade football teams...we have practices once maybe twice a week with each saturday being the game day.

Julie joined Brownies and is so excited that mom will be attending some of the functions like camping. It will be our special time together she says.

The girls have also enrolled in our PSR program where they will learn more about our Catholic Faith. With Jennifer receiving the sacrament of Confirmation in May!

Our biggest and most exciting news!

Jennifer applied for and was accepted into the 2008-2009 Pure Fashion Show.

Yesterday we attended her first gathering where we heard from Leah Darrow a contestant from the third episode of America's Top Model. It was an ispiring meeting where I have to admit they made more cry more then once. And I just thought it would be an informative meeting. It truley is a movement of the spirit.

The girls were seperated into teams where they where able to meet the top models in a more personal matter. The mother's heard from the volunteers and a mother who witnessed the transformation of her own daughter who attended last year. More tears flowed!

When we were reunited they had a fashion show for us! The fashions... designs the girls made using a roll of toilet paper. It was so adorable and you could already see how the girls where already confortable with in there team.

From the meeting Jennifer and I met up with the rest of the family at our old parish. It was like a family reunion! Septemberfest where the kids ran around with friends and cousins. And the fest ended with a wonderful fireworks display.

Yes we do have a full schedule this year! But it's all good things and I'll have lots of pictures to share...that is if I can remember to bring my camera!

Want to be a part of my team?

Have a blessed Sunday!
