Weekend Randomness

The weekend is almost over,
but for us it's not:)
For whatever reason,
our public schools are out tomorrow,
instead of last Monday, which was Columbus Day.
So, we've had our "3rd" daughter over since Saturday afternoon.
She'll be with us until school Tuesday morning.
We went to church this morning,
then came home & while the kids played outside,
William & I went room-by-room
& cleaned out things for our yard sale.
Yep, I really, really dislike yard sales,
but we could use the extra money
& lord knows we have enough stuff that could be sold.
Needless to say,
I'm now exhausted from being on my feet all day
& hauling things from small quarters down into the garage.
I also managed to make a loaf of scrumptious Banana Nut Bread,
which is almost gone now:)

Yesterday, I did get some layouts done.
I've really been needing to work on some layouts.
So, I got busy & got the following done.
This first shows pics of my nephew & Ashlyn.
He did NOT want her to drive his John Deere.
He was fine w/her riding in it, but NOT driving.
He tried pushing her out, pulling her out & even sitting on her.
She finally gave up & got out:)

These are just random pics of my girls being sweet together.
I know there will come a day when I won't see much of this,
so I documented it for them, just as much for me.
I love this 6x12 size.

This is my fav from the 3.
I used Tinkering Inks new "green" paper line.
I originally bought this paper for the back,
which has a ton of smaller butterflies.
I was going to hand-cut them all out.
But, the minute I saw this side, I knew what I wanted to do.
I exacto-cut the butterflies from the paper, but not completely,
ruffled & crumpled their wings for dimension.
Then, hand-cut butterflies from the opposite side
& pasted them on this side.
The paper also had circle patterns on it,
which I exacto-knifed & ruffled the edges.
This gave it a more dimensional look
& I love how it turned out.
Just pics of the girls being crafty at my scrap desk.
I though it was so sweet of Ashlyn to put Camryn up there
where she could watch & help:)

That's all I have for now.
Though I'm exhausted, I'm still gonna try to scrap.
No school tomorrow, so I can stay up later:)
