Great American Scrapbook Convention
I was bound and determined to get pages completed at this crop. I've been to a few, but haven't ever really gotten many pages done, usually it is about 2. This year was going to be different. I spent about a week and a half, pre-planning pages. I put the pictures into baggies, added embellishments that would work good, picked background colors, found letters, stickers, anything I might want to put on the page and added it all to the baggie. So I went semi prepared to the Convention. So, I completed 32 pages in about 20 hours. I spent 6 hrs Thursday, 8 on Friday and about 6 on Sunday scrapping. It has been great! I feel so good. My next project is going to be birthday invitations for Kaydence's birthday party. It is coming up quick. It is going to be a birthday/Fourth of July party. I'm making a double sided invite. I'll post the pictures when I get em done!! Here are the layouts that I got completed! They still need their journaling, and a few need the titles, but I will add those today or tomorrow and put them into their albums! Hope everyone had as good a weekend as I did!!

Lawn Mowing 101
On another note, I've been getting ready to go to GASC and have been prepping pages. I was reading online about scrapbooking storage and found this super cute idea. The awesome part about it was that she had attached a pencil sharpener to the side of the bucket she used. It was great so I used mine and presto!! Here it is:
Today is also my brother-in-law's birthday, so I wanted to tell say:
Happy Birthday Kort!!

Happy Quilting
I love quilting. I really enjoyed this, even though it was a long process. I love the finished result and I love quilts. I have one that my grandma made and one from my great-grandma. I love them!! I have always loved having a quilt to wrap up in and I'm going to be making a few more with the material that I have here. I am going to have my grandma show me some more ways to make the quilt so I can have different varieties around. They will go awesome with the quilt rack that I found at a resale shop!! Hope everyone is doing good!

Easter, Anniversaries & the Beautiful Outdoors
On Sunday, the 19th, we celebrated our 6th Anniversary. I can't believe that it has already been six years!! It seems crazy that time has gone by so fast. We have had some ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. We went to the International Festival and we had a blast. It was featuring Ireland, so Adam, of course, had to try some Irish beer and we sampled some Irish cuisine. We were there for the better part of the day and had so much fun. We bought a few things for the kids. I ended up with 3 dozen roses for my Anniversary. I LOVE roses!! He brought some home for me after he got off work and when we were at the Festival, he bought me 2 dozen more. These are really special because they are wooden! There are 3 different colors made into a beautiful bouquet that I put in a vase on my night stand.
We have been wanting a picnic table for some time. I always had one growing up, and have wanted one for our family. We have been pricing them for the last few years, and always end up passing because they just seemed too expensive for a dang table. So, last week, Adam and I designed us a table that we wanted. We wanted a table that would seat lots of people and that would work good when we had friends over. We decided on a octagon shape. In the middle, Adam put a bucket with a hole to hold drinks. We will be able to fill it with ice and add drinks and they will be right there at the table with us. One of the best things about it was the price, we were able to make it from scrap wood and pallets that we had around the house. So all in all, it cost less then 10 bucks to make!! Around the area, we put stakes, to hang a canopy. We are still working out the details on that one to work right. We love it, this weekend, hopefully we will be able to get our first use out of it!!
We hung a hammock, and to do so, we had to relocate my clothesline, but it all works out good!! I finally found a bird feeder that I love that is squirrel proof. We have a few others, but the squirrels keep eating the food, I'd like to see them try now lol. And finally, my first flower bloomed. I have had some roses bloom, but my first flower that I planted from seed bloomed and they are beautiful. Thanks for sticking in there with me, I know it was long, I'll try to do better about posting more often!!

This is a close-up of our yellow onions. See how they are already doing good, it's been a month since we planted. They aren't very big underneath, but we can use the top as green onions while they keep growing.
This is some of the peas growing on the fence. Almost all of them have grown up enough to grab onto the fence to start climbing.
This is the front area of the garden, looking at this picture, on the left, are 3 more rows of veggies, and on the right are the tires with the bush beans and a few tomato plants we have left over.
This is the tire with pinto beans growing. They are doing awesome. Please excuse the white dust, it's seven dust. We've been fighting some stubborn ants and hopefully this will be the end of them. They've gone from the bed to the tire and hopefully this is it.
