monday.

today I am getting a NEW dishwasher--thanks tax return!!  My dishwasher has been partly out of commission for a few months then completely out of commission for a few weeks meaning we have been hand washing everything--seriously not my favorite thing or anyone else's -kids kept trying to sneak off and not wash their own stuff--seriously?  YAY--for the new appliance that makes my life easier!

I wanted to share a layout I made for the Somewhere over the rainbow Challenge over on the Scrapbook Circle blog--there is a $10 prize so go check it out HERE if you are interested in playing a long!  So here is my take:

closeups:

For this affect I just cut the paper at about 1 1/4 inches and laid them the opposite directions 

Yep, we actually went bowling on the first day of Fall Break--A LOT of fun--the first time for two of my children--how did that happen?  We had a blast and decided that bowling with bumpers is FUN! :)  FYI I used the Story Time kit from Scrapbook Circle to complete this layout--with a few cuts laying on my desk...

Thanks for the visit!  Oh, and if you decide to play along with the challenge you have until March 6!
