Braedon on Study Ladder

Braedon is quite into Study Ladder at the moment, set up by the school for the kids to log into and do maths work, exercises set by the teacher of the class. I just had to take some pics of  him at my laptop concentrating

CALICO Ghost Town Layout

This layout is one of a set I am working on of our US holiday last year... OH Dear I can't believe I haven't scrapped those pics and now I have this UK trip this year to do too.  Oh well. I will get there I'm sure. 

Calico Ghost Town was a wonderful place in California  and was  developed in 1881 during the largest silver strike in California. I have lots of pics of Calico so chose to do a double layout which is something I don't do that much.  
I used some old corrugated cardboard and mostly products from stash.

Bents Basin and the kiddies

Some pics Aimee took at Bents Basin this weekend. Just a spot of fishing, not that they would catch anything in Bents Basin  - its just really a swimming hole.  A big swimming hole that is and quite a nice spot.
I remember it quite well, going there with a group of kids when we were teenagers. We thought we could all swim across the Basin. hmmm Ok if your a strong swimmer, Not ME,  I nearly didn't make it and even now I remember how I felt struggling to get to the other side.   But I did make it across and I'm here to tell the story.. I haven't been back since.....

So this pic is of Kody and I think Aimee had the camera set on colour replace which can replace the main colour with another colour so she ended up with purple looking water. Looks quite effective.

Our Savalloy

Well it's not really Savalloy but Savannah, she just gets called Savalloy for some reason or another.  She is the bossy one of the four chihuahua's... I bought them collars with Bandana's on them, look rather cute don't they.

 

New Blog! New Look!

Well this is my new blog for just family, house and life in general stuff.  Of course that's not to say there won't be any scrappin on here, of course will post all my layouts and other work I do.
