I don't like August 1st!

Welcome to my new blog!! (my other cute blog template disappeared and so I had to choose a new one) I made a custom header while I was at it. I like seeing this happy girl's face. :)

Anyway... I have been MIA all this time and now it is AUGUST!!! Teachers don't like August because it means that summer is winding down. Christine and I have officially declared August 1st as "National Teacher Day of Mourning!" Just not ready to go back yet.. I know i still have time but it sure goes fast once August hits. ( sidenote... I don't turn my calendar page to August either... I wait several weeks for it to sink in.)

I have been a busy girl this summer anyway.. I have been ORGANIZING my scrappy stuff and it has taken this long. I have torn my house apart grouping and regrouping my supplies to make it neat and organized. This is a picture of my living room with stuff everywhere!! EEEKK (

I have to say, my stuff is now organized and i can FIND everything in my scrapbook world. It is amazing and exciting and was worth the countless HOURS spent doing it. The scrappy cabinet in the garage, the closet, my armoire. (nope, still not done, but my scrappy-land is functional and AWESOME! It makes me so happy to have a peaceful place.) ( oh wait, I still have the rest of the house to do but it's a start!!) Here's the closet in progress..

Summer is flying by which I know I mentioned but there are so many things we have been doing. My parents were here a few times visiting. Sammie went to horse camp two sessions. We took a trip to Legoland, went to the beach and waterpark. We celebrated our 15 year anniversary, went on a balloon ride, went to Farrell's, Cheesecake Factory, and celebrated a few birthdays. We saw a few movies and we may even take a trip to Walt's place in Florida before the summer ends, we'll see... details are in the works.

Well, that's all for now.

Here is a video of Sammie riding Pokey.
