Only five to go after this one. :(
I did get a bit of scrapbooking done this weekend.
Do you remember this sketch and layout?
It's still being worked on though.
Then my next scrapbook project is a layout using washi tape by Hazel and Ruby for an upcoming Paper Issues challenge. They gave us some great tapes to work with, but *This Tape* is definitely going to be featured on my page. Kind of excited about it because the topic of my layout is one of my favorite bands. Ok, not U2. They are "The" favorite of all time. No, it's the other one I did a blog post on not too long ago *Here*.
I am turning that post into a layout just like I said I would.
After that layout is done, I am going to go sketch crazy. I pinned a few sketches this past weekend that I really want to try. I am going to share them on the Craft Your Nest
blog on Wednesday, so be looking for that post.
As for family time, I absolutely love weekends when Mike is home. We actually were able to go on a little date Saturday morning/afternoon while Evan and Erin were with some neighbor friends. Then we had those same friends over to hang out with us for dinner and spend the night while their parents went to a reunion. A little bit of a babysitting tradeoff. :)
Yesterday, we had our annual Father's/Mother's Day brunch with the grandparents at Rooster Cafe
downtown. They have some pretty delicious crepes there and I had the pulled pork one with spiced apples and fontina cheese. Soooooo good!
Then we tried to get the annual family photo...
which I honestly love despite the fact that three of us are wearing sunglasses. And Evan has that pre-teen smirk that says I am too old for this (lol) But it is so us!
And we always try to get a photo of the grandparents with the kids as well.
We got a better smile from Evan on this one! :)
Anyway, enough about my weekend.
How was yours?
Sounds like a great weekend, Mary Jo, and yay for some scrapbook time, too! We had a pretty quiet weekend for us, but those are good every once in a while. :)
