 Page one

I had 3 inserts from this week, an 8.5x11 with all our graduation invitations(did not take a picture), photo pocket page design E with tons of extra pictures and a birthday invitation (missing 1 picture as I am waiting on a reprint, 

and a 12x12 page to include all my targets from the day I learned to shoot. I added some Martha Stewart labels to identify which targets were from which gun.

telling my story in 5 photos

This is part of a challenge on Jenny's blog to encourage us to tell our stories. Each week she gives us a theme with 5 prompts for pictures. Here are my photographs from this week:

Something I can't live without:

I cannot live without my faith in Jesus. Everything around me reminds me of just how much a part of our lives He is. I enjoy spending time at church and in His Word. Having a quiet time with Him every morning is a must for me. I cannot even begin to think of what life would be without. . .

A favorite snack:

fresh baked Sugar cookies from the grocery bakery. LOVE them!! They are super sweet so I usually only eat 1 a day, but they are to die for. mmm!

Your ride:

that's my baby. My 2007 Accent. I have yet to name this car (although I am a huge fan of cars having names). I think to often I take it fro granted that when I am ready to get up and go she will just start. But thankfully I have not had any problems with this car. I sure do love my ride!

Weekend routine:

other than just hanging out we do not have much of a weekend routine around here. However with the summer just around the corner we are now in the season of "must-do's" every weekend. The biggie is mowing the grass and taking care of the yard and ponds. But we don't mind, we are outdoors-y people (is that even a word?) Can never get enough sunshine and fresh air!

a place you get your food:

my mind immediately jumps to the grocery store, even though there are plenty of other places we get our food from. (I mean it is garden season after all) We have shopped at Giant for. . .well forever I guess. My "little sister" Ashley works there so it's an added bonus to get to visit a little each week.

Project Life: Week 23

I was a teacher's helper as a senior to her 3 year old preschool class. . .and now she is graduating!!! Congrats Heather!!

Watermelon, the perfect summer snack

Putting in the rain shutters from my great grandmother. What a great invention to allow the air in while keeping the rain out.

Planting the green beans, it's a little later than usual, but hey better late than never right?

Enjoying the sunshine while still managing to get some things done

the amazing package from my dear sweet friend Lisa, full of scrapbook goodies for my new biz! THANK YOU does not even begin to express my gratitude, I am so blessed with amazing friends!!
