So Very Much Going On!!

And sadly, not nearly enough scrapbooking!  But I finally finished my DT layouts for Sussies this month and got them all scanned in!  It was a fun kit to work with I just didn’t have enough time!!

From the LYB side of the kit (I usually don’t do the same topic for both of my layouts but the color in the pictures really did match pretty darn good!  I loved those little Maya Road birds but wasn’t sure how to use them.  I think it works, don’t you? 

Such bright fun colors!  These LYB papers are great for fall layouts!

 And from the My Minds Eye side of the kit - I took pictures of each student in 3rd and 4th grade and a class picture and for all the 1st and 2nd grade and a class picture as well!  I haven’t done kindergarten yet but it’s mainly because two of the students are only there in the morning and (WOOHOO) I’m carpooling this year and Jolene is taking them every morning except Fridays!

 

The second page is based on the sketch included with this months kit.  I added eyelets to give the scalloped circle a bit more definition.  I will probably add all the students names above or below the picture still and I may add “Grades 1 and 2” as well.

So, a quick rundown on my schedule for the next 6 weeks or so - and why I won’t scrap much :(….

Mondays gymnastics from 6:30-8:00 (A,T)

Tuesdays soccer practice from 4:30-5:30 (A) and 6 to 7(T)

Wednesdays gymnastics from 4:30-5:30 (S)

Thursdays soccer practice from 4:30-5:30 (A) and 6 to 7 (T) and Alexa could do make-up gymnastics classes from 6-7:30

That doesn’t include me helping with computers 2 days a week at school or working all day Tuesday.  And don’t forget that every single one of T’s soccer games is at 8 am on Saturday!  I get tired just thinking about it.  Thankfully it’s only until mid-October.  :)

Hope you’re at least getting some scrapbooking done!  (Oh, and in case you are wondering, I did not make the cut for the third round at TS with my Walmart layout - but I didn’t really expect to and probably didn’t have the time to make another layout for the next round!)….

One last thing, congrats to my sister and her husband who welcomed another baby boy into their family a few weeks ago!
