Almost out of here...

I have been so busy getting ready for our vacation. We are heading off to upstate NY to visit my husband's relatives. I finished my swap for the 2scd board and finished my circle journal page. Also had the car maintenance done, got every ones haircut, found a new pair of shorts and still tons to do. So I might not be posting again for a while.

Here is my entry for Carrie's circle journal...

The way I see it...

The young have tons of imagination and creativity, so let them have fun and time to explore without adult interference.

But the adults can take a photo or two of them having their exploring time....

Design Gig!

I have a design gig!! I am making samples for a new scrapbook store in Delano, MN. It is opening today. Here is the sign that will be hanging from the store front.


The owner really wants to keep the samples just what she has in the store. Since everything hasn't been unpacked at the store yet I am not sure what I can all use. So needless to say my first sample is a little plain.

The Fourth

Had a good fourth. Busy but good. We had some friends and family over for brats and hamburgers. Everyone just had a good time. Here are a couple of photos from the day.

Wow I have been tagged. Not sure where it started, so there is no stopping it now! Here are the rules, post 7 random things about yourself on your blog and then tag 7 others to play. The 7 people I tag do the same thing and so and so forth...

My seven random things...
* Don't care for ice cream
* Love to do sudoku puzzles
* If I have money in my pocket I can't find a thing to buy
* I go to the grocery store almost every day
* Will, Tate and I seat danced to "At the Car Wash" at Taco Johns today
* Love the smell of coffee but can't stand to drink it
* My first job was in retail and to this day I still straighten racks when shopping

Hum, now to the harder part who to tag...my choices are...

Camera and Strawberries

Well, I did it! I went out and bought a new camera. I bought the Nikon D40. I have only played with it a little bit and I am loving it!! Love the quick shutter response!

Only a quick post today as I am off to pick strawberries with the neighbor. I remember picking them a few years ago and they are so sweet and big this time of year. Can't wait.

Now the problem is do I bring my camera and get a few great shots and risk getting it dirty the first day I have it. I will be debating until the last minute!

Baseball

Tate's baseball is the cutest thing ever. When the kids hit the ball foul, all the kids on the field start saying, foul ball over and over. So this young girl in the stands made a comment about how they all sound like a bunch of chickens. The funny part is that they did. I got a chuckle out of her comment.

One of the times that Tate was up he was the last batter . There are no outs so the last batter is just to run and basically not stop. Most of the kids don't get that. But not Tate, of course he loves to run. So he hit and ran the bases like crazy. The kids are so young they always over or under throw the ball and because of this Tate got a home run. My baby got a home run, sort of speak!
