We found a new park!

It's just as close as Corbin to our house and so we walked there. :)

Renna was tired, but of course that didn't stop her from having her own fun

The part I like about this park is that the benches are under trees!

Nice and shady.

The playground is much more interesting here than at Corbin

Renna wasn't too impressed though

Lily liked it!

It even has a spiral slide!

And many tunnels

But what did Lily like the most? the sticks!

If we were on a camping trip she'd be so helpful in gathering kindling.

Since I started posting layouts...

Here's the newest. I actually liked how it turned out, but I went into it with a "whatever" sort of feeling and it was pretty fun just twining around all that yarn and ribbon (attached with brads) We went on a walk today and I found a feather on the walk so I tucked that under the "nesting" title. I might do more layouts like this. That is.. with the whatever/fun sort of feel. My mom told me (right before I was about to work on this and wasn't feeling "up" to being creative) she said, "They all don't have to be incredible." HA.. yeah, that's true, and then I can create sometimes without any pressure that I usually put on myself.

Profound thought for the day: CREATE! It doesn't matter how or when or what for or if you are inspired or not. Inspiration will come as it will, but just have fun and do it. :)

from another album

So, I learned how to do some quilling to add to my scrapbooking and made an album for my cousins wedding (she's got married in Hawaii) and I forgot to take pictures of each page but here are just a couple highlights. My goal was to do as much quilling as I could to practice. It was just an 8x8 album. Very fun to do! I made a little shaker box of Hawaiian sand (I collect sand so I had some from Hawaii) to put in it. I love making albums for wedding gifts. Usually I'll take the pictures and do the whole thing, but couldn't go to the wedding of course. She'll have fun putting pictures in though! Her now husband is a great photographer so my meager pictures would have been lame to him anyway. This way they'll have a great place to display HIS stuff. I wish I could see it after she puts the pictures in. :)

The last wedding album I did was last year around June in case someone didn't see it and wanted to. :)

The interactive album that I made for a friend of mine... the pages are all out of order.. sorry about that.

I put them all up on facebook though so people can check it out there, but since I'd told a couple other scrapbookers who also had entered the contest that I put my stuff on my blog I figured I should add a few more pictures of stuff that I've done!

(The happily ever after of course is the last page. I just don't have time to put them in order...)

Doing school!

Lily learned to make circles in school today! She got a little crazy making them and was yelling "sUEkull" (for circle) the whole while. I love how the next picture shows her hand all blurry from the quick rotations! (Oh, and we were also making "balloons" with the circles.)

She's always getting better with the names of colors too! When we were driving home last night she was saying "Gween GO" and "Wed sTop!" as she watched the lights changing in front of us.
