Back to Scrappin'

Whoa! What a busy (but great) week it's been! In the past week or two, we've had two sets of neighbors move in. In order to seem more friendly (and less like a hermit), I decided to make some baked goods to welcome both the families to the neighborhood. I made homemade pumpkin bread for one family and homemade cinnamon rolls for the other. Hopefully they enjoyed them...I know I did!

I also started school last Wednesday (which, if you ask me, is the weirdest day to have as the first day of school). Even though I only have 16 credits, I can already tell it's going to be a tough quarter. My class schedule is crazy too! I have a nine o'clock class and then anywhere between a three and seven 1/2 hour break (depending on the day) until the start of my next class. In addition, I'm observing at least 9 hours a week at a local high school in order to complete the requirements for my education program.

Last monday I joined a growth group at our church. I didn't think it would be so hard to commit to a bible study group, but it's taken me several months just to get up the courage to join one! The group leaders seem great and I will meet them for the first time tomorrow - so wish me luck!

A couple of days ago I made my d.h.'s brother's birthday card. I haven't scrapped in a while...so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to post a photo of my project. I used my new cartridge: Animal Kingdom...which is definitely one of my favorites. The card reads: "Count Your Blessings..." on the outside and "If you were a dog, you'd be over a 100 years old!" on the inside. Let me know what you think:

Today was a great conclusion to the week. After church I went to my first ever Mary Kay party. The products were great and we got to jazz up our makeup! I had so much fun...I even decided to host a party of my own. Let me know if you are interested in coming!
