School has started!

Yep. we *eased* into our first day yesterday! Our kids are 6th, 9th and 11th grades this year. Our oldest is finishing up his last quarter at community college and will hopefully have an Associates degree in Computor Information Systems by Christmas.

We got our scheduling done and started the day off with Bible devotions and then right into math!
Slave driver , I know! LOL!

Anyway, just reflecting...we have at least 6 more years of schooling left till we graduate our youngest. Where have the years gone? We cherish each one.

Cool thing...I got my first 2 yards of fabric from my first ever fabric Co-op.

Cozy Crop was a blast!

Five of the six of our group were able to meet up at Stampede...a rubber stamp shop in York, PA. (Laurie, Joanne, me, Peggy and Starr...Shari was heading in from NJ, unfortunately she couldn't meet us here)

Here we are at a local Amish Family style restaurant...not a low-cal meal, for sure!

A couple of projects...this first was a cool make 'n' take from Peggy (our Georgia Peach)...
she shipped up all the supplies to Starr , her sister, before she flew up to Delaware. She taught us how to make this using a pocket folder and some awesome CTMH stamps, papers and inks.
Thanks, Peggy!!

This was a scrapbook page that was waiting for me to complete from my first weekend crop I went to on the Eastern shore of MD. Finally finished-used my Cricut with Shari's 'Zoobaloo' cart and painted with my H2Os) Now to finish the journaling!

Looking forward to next years...Sept 10-13th, 2009!

Cozy Crop is almost here!

Been busy with getting the kids hither and yon the past few weeks...now its the momma's turn!

Tom'w morning I head up to Lancaster, PA to meet up with 5 other friends. We met online at a cardmaking website a few years ago and I arranged for us to get together at a house in Lancaster made just for crops. We met up last year and we are doing it again tom'w through Sunday!

Whats kinda cool is we are all coming from out-of-state!
Indiana, New Jersey, Delaware, Georgia and two from Maryland

I am so excited we are able to plan this and get together again! Look forward to seeing the girls again!

See you in a few days!
