As Promised

Here are some things as promised.

Few are sneaks.

I have others that are secret. ;)

Spoke to someone in our legal office on the base. My original plans regarding teaching and selling scrap materials has been flushed down the toilet. Apparently I cannot use my mailing address because I do not pay sales tax (it's exempt). But I do have something else up my sleeve and I think it's going to work out better than my first plan.

On to the pics. The first few are from the Volksfest. Lizee, your comment cracked me up. A Volksfest is a festival ("Volks" meaning people I believe). lol. You're so cute. They had rides that the kids were able to take advantage of. Games, food booths, and a little flea market was also there. We spent a good amount of time in the Beer Garden enjoying some super yummy rotisserie chicken, german potato salad, and french fries. Oh, and this monster of a thing:

(Don't worry, he's sneaky, but not THAT sneaky).

Check this dude out. What you can't see are the three mugs he's holding in the right hand, while balancing the 7th glass ontop of everything! By the way, that's a liter of beer in the mugs. Josh and I people watched for a bit while in the garden and noticed that in the time Josh finished one beer, most of the guys around him were almost done with their second. It's like water here. ha!

SCRAP

Thank you card I made for Anberlin's Preschool Child Development teacher.
I finally made a door hanging for the front door. I used the new KI "Bloom" to cover the Fancy Pants chipboard. Also used some Hambly and Making Memories. Oh and I am officially in love with the Heidi Swapp mirrors!!


My crazy son. This isn't a super new layout, but I don't think I posted it on the blog yet. Used the newish BasicGrey Archaic line. Love the dinos!!

The latest Scrapping the Music challenge is up. Our song this week is the ultra sexy "Drive" by Incubus. I remember when that video came out, and drooling over the lead singer. lol.

My bulletin board, kinda unorganized. I've started hanging up my newest layouts up. And here are a couple of sneaks:

That's it for now folks.

PS- Want to know something funny? Josh went to school with Gabriel Garcia, the Texan on "Nashville Star." They are both from Lytle, Texas. I watched an episode of that show for the first time last night (not a huge country fan) just so I could see who he is. Have to admit, I love what he did to "living la vida loca."
