Gardening Journal


Kristen loves to garden. She actually has some bulbs coming up in a flower bed that I tried to plant bulbs in about 14 years ago. Mine never came up, but it looks like all of Kristen's are coming up. Since she has done such a good job with the clearing out of the flower bed and then planting all of her bulbs, she is getting her own gardening tools for Easter. I decided to also make her a journal so that she can keep track of what she plants and when. I am sure that she will really like this.

I was tagged.
The rules state that you need to find the 4th folder in your picture file and then find the 4th picture and upload it to your blog. Then pick 4 other people. Here is my picture. My 4 picks are on my other blog

It came, I am so excited


I spent about 1 1/2 hours on January 1st trying to order this kit. The web site kept shutting down. I wasn't sure that I even got in to place an order. Every one started getting their kits right away, and I wasn't hearing anything. Finally I called the company and was told that they had no record of my order. Since the kits were sold out there was nothing that could be done. Besides the ones that were getting their kits many were also placed on back order. It took over two months for the back ordered kits to come in, and then the company started shipping them. I finally get an email with a shipping number on it, but once again I check with the company and they still don't have any record of my order. Didn't know if it would come or not. Was so thrilled to see this in the mail yesterday. Thankfully, I have been keeping my pictures up to date. (Check out my project 365 blog, link on the side). Started putting the kit together today. Almost done with the first two months.

Are you getting tired of JYC yet?










I spent the weekend at a crop that our church was hosting. What a great time. My goalwas to complete my JYC album. I am sure that your are thrilled to know that I am almost done. I have to get some more pictures developed, but otherwise all pages are complete. Now I can move on to Sarah's album. I really am hoping to get caught up with her stuff now. I have all of her 7th grade year cropped and the paper picked out. Will see what happens next.

Valentine's Day





This was a joint effort between Kristen and myself. She tells me earlier in the week that she needs Valentines Day at school. Wouldn't have been a big deal, except this is conference week so I have to stay at school late two nights and have meeting the other nights. Anyway, I woke up at normal time this morning (even thought I didn't have school) so that I could get a box for made for her. She then had fun using up some of my embellishments and stamps to decorate her box. I think that this box is going to have to last for another 2 years. I can't be doing this daily. Of course this was done with no pattern. If I would have been smart I would have searched for a pattern online and printed it out while at school. Wait I couldn't do that because even though we had conferences and needed access to grades the computer search engines for the district were turned all blocked. At least she had fun and doesn't have a plain box or bag. Kristen has to be a little different from the norm.
