We hope to leave by 9am and float tomorrow afternoon. My plan is to get a cabin for tomorrow night, rather than a hotel. I just like the partially rustic atmosphere! It isn't the full blown room-service thing, but it's not the sweat and bugs that come with camping this time of year either! Wednesday morning we plan to go to Montauk State Park and relax. Tobin wants to fish and I have a good book I am trying to finish. No reason to haul my scrapbooking stuff and I'd probably forget something anyway. There's just too much to that hobby to "pack n' take."
I received two Memory Makers magazines in the mail on the same day. I guess that means none for awhile, but I found plenty of layouts that I'd like to do! I found some that I like just the way they are and others that I will need to tweak a little. I don't care for busy pages, and that seems to be fairly "in" right now. This is a page that is fairly close to the way it is in the magazine; however, I did add three wallets to the design and made up my own title. I ran out of letters, so I had to use the exacto knife and cut the outline of some of the letters. I kind of like the effect. Every time I study the page, it just takes me back to the night that we played with the boys while Mel and Brian were at his graduation ball. Both boys were so well-behaved and playful! Koen and Tobin really bonded and had a good time with one another. In the larger pic, it is so cute because Koen was running towards Tobin, but his game was also that he didn't want to be caught! So, he is doing this football maneuver where you can tell that his momentum is toward Tobin, but yet trying to dodge him also. Tobin would act like he was going to get him, and edged closer and closer, but Koen was always out of reach! I just wish the page portrayed all the giggling and laughter that came along with this game they were playing. I don't seem to be in any pics from that night, but that is part of the deal when I am the only one taking the pictures!!!
have fun on your mini trip! i was only about 1oo pages into my 19 nineteen minutes book when we left for the trip. I only read on the way to and from Memphis. I actually finished that 400 and some odd pages book on the trip. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD! I loved it. I think every teacher needs to read it!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your page. Very cute!The big pic of Tobin N Koen is great! I spent hours editing pics today. I'm going to go pick them up tomorrow and then I'll be ready to start scrappin!
i'm not sure why i typed out the #19 and then spelled it out for you...too much special ed training in me maybe! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was a fairly quick page that looks a tad different than my norm, which is good!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had that book to take for Wednesday while he is fishing! Did you buy it? I think I'll take the Scott Kelby book too.
The funny thing is that I didn't even notice the 19 nineteen thing!
that is funny about the 19 thing. i didn't buy the book, it was on loan from my sister and it wasn't even her book to loan me. :) i need to go to the library and check out some more of her books. they had tons at wal-mart a few weeks ago and tonight when i went they were all gone!
