Thankful For Hiking Friends & Firefighters That Let Kids Explore

Back with another, Make It Monday Challenge from The Memory Nest.

This layout was so much fun to create.  We meet our new friends at the beginning of the year and have had great nature adventures together.  I am very thankful for our explorations.  Meeting another mom that likes to get her kids out and explore has been so much fun. 

Close Up

I also have been trying to find a few new sketch sites lately.  Some of my go to places have to closing down.  Here are a few challenges that I have entered this layout into My Scraps & More Sketches and The Studio Challenge - Chipboard, Triangles and Gold.

My New Ride

Today is a all new Make It Monday at The Memory Nest.  This week is a sketch challenge with a twit to use a selfie. 

I thought this challenge was going to be super hard for me since I only scrap about my kiddos.  But, it turned out a lot easier than I had thought.  I had the perfect paper to go with a photo of myself just taken last month.  To be honest if not for this challenge I never would have scrapped this photo of myself.   

Here is the example that I created.

Autumn Love

I was searching around for a sketch to create my example for the November Color Challenge at Sketches4All.  I saw this sketch over at Retro sketches and it was perfect! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you can play along too. 

10 More Spots Open On My List

I haven't been paying very much attention to my 101 in 1001.  Here is an update.  I still have 10 items open on my list.  I really need to finish writing my list so I can complete it.

11. Pay off credit cards.
Finally complete.  Although I just replaced it with 2 new car payments.  :)

43. Get a watering can.
It's not a pretty metal one like I had hoped but at least I finally picked one up.

84. Take a real family vacation.  Far enough to get on a plane.
Hello Tennessee.  The kiddos love the plane and we had an amazing time.  Makes me want to do more traveling.

80. Make brownies from scratch.
These turned out ok.  I thought I posted about this already but I can't find it anywhere.  

90. Take Trinity to get a pedicure(toes painted).
Trin and I went to a place on Father's Day while my Hubby and Son went to the car show.

88. Get a facial.
I just went and did this a few weeks ago.  Amazing!!!

87. Do zumba, at least once.
My SIL finally convienced me to go to a Zumba class with her.  Fun but not my cup of tea.

7. Take 10 hikes at various locations. (8/10)
We hiked on two trails both only about 20 minutes from the house.  After the second trail we ended at a fire station and the fire men let the kiddos honk the horn, look at equipment, etc...

While in TN we did  a few walks. I wouldn't call it hiking but it was walks outdoors up some hills and what-not.

 

An Apple Day

Hello and welcome back for the beginning of another week.  We are going to start out this week with a Make it Monday from The Memory Nest.

We go apple picking every year with my sister.  I scrapped this double to show off all of the photos from our trip last year.  The large one on the left of the kiddos and I is my favorite photo. 

Have a Happy Monday!!!
