Be sure to check out the new Group we started on flickr for Work in Progress kits.  Also there is a flickr site just for view of all the kits, new and old here. I have learned a lot about flickr, like making sets and collections but I wish there was a way to merge them together and if someone knows of a way, please let me know...

The kits this month are just awesome!  However the project kit...

From my Button Farm kit.  It was so fun and so easy to put together and I can't wait to make another!  Covering the Maya Road box using making memories papers and flower embellishments.
Each tag is about 3 X 7 and they fit into the box when done.  I'm thinking of adding some of Chelsea's graduation pictures to each tag.


We had a fun day together celebrating Zach's birthday and ended...

If you Google the word elgoog which is google backwards - then all your searches will come back backwards.  Kind of funny!  And who would guess I learned that from my kid? 
Happy Birthday to Zach who is 14 today!
Today, June 17th is Zach's birthday!  After bowling and some birthday shopping he will pick the restaurant of his choice that we will enjoy for dinner...

Yes, Zach the kid I...

And I couldn't be happier! 
I was worried when I was putting the book together about the amount of pages I was trying to include, but I have to say its perfect!  The 7 X 7 size adds more to its appeal and I'd take more pictures of it, but I can't seem to get it from my hubby as he keeps reading it!  Very cool and I will so do it again!



Tomorrow is Zach's birthday and although...

We spent Father's Day the only way Joel would have it... getting something done.  And since before we left Saturday for the wedding he told me to call and order more mulch... I did just that, ordered another 8 yards.  That makes 14 yards for those keeping track... and were still not done!  Probably another 6-8 will do it... I hope???

But it was another good day with getting lots done, cooking...

Happy Father's Day on this beautiful day! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Here is Joel through the years, always a great example of what a father should be with the kids.

I lost my father in 1998 and Joel lost his father in 1999, so unexpectedly for both of us.  So quickly you life changes and there's nothing you can do about it.
What happened to Tim Russert is similar to the loss of...

for an outdoor wedding.


 
I'm so happy for my girlfriend Diane who has found some much deserved happiness in her life and a perfect day to celebrate it with friends.
 
 
 
 
 
We grew up together,the four of us that is.  We all met in high school in the 9th grade and have remained  friends all these years. 
Her husband referred to us as the "fab four"

I was so saddened to hear about Tim Russert yesterday.  I have always enjoyed him on TV and even read his book "Big Russ and me"   His love of life, family and politics you couldn't help but to be drawn to.  Just a genuine good person... so sad

As for my weekend, not too much planned, except today is the wedding of a friend of mine.  We went to her shower a few weeks back.  I hope this...
