Back to camp photos. Shout out to Keitha for this piff...I was supposed to use the paper and chicks for a toy story layout from disney...but I think this photo just was too perfect for the paper and chicks. Thanks Keitha.

Puppy Love...this is how I get to sleep most of the nights. Mark says I'm the most protected mommy in the world. I call them my herd and I am the dog magnet at night time. Also...never leave the camera on the dresser when you sleep...you never know who will find it. Photos taken by the boys (not sure which one, I was sleeping) Oreo is the one sharing my pillow with her head on my neck, Scrappy is my pillow and Peanut is the brown one snuggled into my stomach. Most likely with her head on my leg.

More camp photos, taken from the camp photographer. The boys went on a field trip to see the blue claws game.

Shout outs to April for the swap elements.

Shout out to Pauline for the page kit on this one.

My little boy definitely came out of his shell this past summer. He is no longer afraid of animals.

page 132 and 133

The boys love cooking class at camp...although not the best of menus, in my opinion as the mom.

page 130 and page 131

Also from the same class that Robin and I took...still don't like the paper, but

they work for the misc. camp photos I have of the boys.

page 129 - Go Carts

So the

paper isn't my favorite...but this was a class Robin and I took at SDV, and I wasn't going to waste the paper since it was already together. The photos are of the kids at camp on the go carts. I still don't like the paper, but it worked.

I IRONED! It was so easy to do, and I love the way the kit worked out. All the extras (except the buttons) are iron-ons...cool huh.

Photos are of Scrappy when we first got her.
Shout out to: SEI for an easy page kit that I got from the memory expo last year.

page 126: IHOP

This is my swap layout for STW. Theme had to be breakfast. Anything else was up to us. I think it is neutral enough for a boy or a girl. Coming from the one who only scraps boys huh. Anyway, while I had everything out, and since I'm hosting the swap...I decided to just finish mine totally. :0)

I hope the other girls in the swap will not mind.

page 124 and 125

Same kit again. I even sewed on this one :-) This was Michael's spring performance in 3rd grade.

page 122 and page 123

Same kit as the summer performace photos. These are from Bryan's winter performance at school. Not sure I like the curtains out of paper, but it was something new to try in the kit.

page 121 - Rhino

Page kit is from a swap. Very plain, but since I loved the photos of the Rhinos I'm ok with it. I feel I take better photos of animals than of my kids.

page 119 and 120

This is from a monthly kit I get mailed, it is from gototreasures. I love it, I learned new techniques, and get great looking pages. The photos are of the boys from camp parents night. They sang a Journey song...we had a good laugh and they just looked so adorable.

page 117 and page 118 splish splash goes scrappy

The background was a complete page swap created by Elaine on Awesome. These photos of Scrappy playing with the hose and water slide were just perfect for it. My silly puppy actually slides down all by herself. No help..honest.

Camp Mickey and Minnie 2004 disney trip. I am almost done with this trip (thank goodness), just in time for our 2008 trip in December.

Shout outs to: Lisa (photo mat) Missy (photo mat) Becky (quote), Jan (journal box) and 2 decos from Jan all from ScrappiestDisneyswaps

more photos from the safari at Great Adventure. I think this was the most I ever saw all the animals awake and waiting for photos to be taken.

Shout out: to me for the swap title plus 1...from awesome swaps

Great Wolf Lodge Trip - November 2007

These are photos of the waterpark from the elevator

lobby on our floor. In the file folder I have 4 small journalling pages with photos on the flip side. This was a class kit I purchased at Junkitz, and finally getting around to doing it. I used rub-ons on the plastic tiles. Never would have thought of that one.

page 112 and 113

This was Great Wolf Lodge

Water park. The boys had such fun trying to walk across the pads without falling in...they made it across to find their father waiting...to pull them in :-). Then of course typical boys...we couldn't get them out for hours.

Shout Out: Pauline for the complete page swap (just added photos and journalling) from Awesome swaps. Thanks Pauline

page 111: camping our way

This will be the closest I ever get to "camping". I hate bugs! This was from our long weekend trip to Great Wolf Lodge in VA.
