First off... Happy Veterans Day to all of you! And Thank You to all the men and women who serve this country and have served this country! I probably am one of the most patriotic people around and even get teary eyed at our patriotic songs!! So, I hope you are enjoying your day with your family and remember all that this country stands for and what these brave men and women fight for!
I'm a little late on the Love, Tuesday thing because we've been out today... My oldest daughter had to have braces put on today!!! She was excited and scared all at the same time and said they didn't hurt putting them on but now she is in some major pain!! Poor thing, I remember those days and can almost feel the braces on my teeth... She has to wear them for about 2 years so she's not too happy. Poor thing can even chew food for the next 24 hours! So we've been busy today trying to keep her occupied and loaded up on soft frozen yogurt, smoothies and such!
Oh, I wanted to show you pictures from their show, Seussical!! I couldn't take pictures during the show so I'm bummed about that... But, I got a picture of Victoria during intermission when she was selling raffle tickets...
And this one is of Rebecca after the show with Isabella...
And here's the Star Boards I worked on for what seems like FOREVER...
Then we went outside after the show and Isabella wanted her picture with some of the Characters... (not her sisters though ;)- So here she is with the Bird Girls...(She didn't even know that those girls were her sisters friends!)
She was so happy when they did this and then she noticed one feather off of the blue girl on the ground so she quickly picked it up... Then she saw one fly off the orange girl and picked it up, then we found a green feather and a purple feather! She was tickled PINK that she had a feather from each bird girl! So, in the next picture you'll see she's clutching them in her hand as she takes a picture with the Cat in the Hat! (she wasn't crazy about him...)
She took those feathers to school the next day and can't WAIT to share them on her share day this Friday and explain all about them! lol...
So, to get back to Love, Tuesday... I am LOVING this day with the girls. I've been way to busy lately so it's been really nice to hang out with them today and spend some down time with them. Nothing planned, except the braces, and we just had fun going to get frozen yogurt, going to Barnes & Noble, and hanging out at home... We need that some days and especially since they've been saying I've ALWAYS scrapbooking (which really means working b/c I hardly SCRAPBOOK these days)...
Tonight, I will get back to work though and start putting up some instructions on the website! I will have it in the Class Instructions area and I think it will be a drop-down menu for different ones... I'll also be emailing everyone with the postcard file so you can print that out. I'm waiting on the "Mixed-up" album kits to arrive and then the rest of the kits will be sent out! I think I have about 6 or 7 people waiting on those right now. Everything else is shipped out! So, if you DID NOT order a mixed-up album kit, your kit is on it's way or already to you! I was shocked when one member said they got there's yesterday and I thought I had mailed it in the morning that same day!!! (I obviously was wrong on the day I sent it...)
I can't wait to start seeing some projects from you ladies too! Please remember that I LOVE to see finished layouts and projects you guys make! Please email me your pictures and I'll put them on the blog sometimes! Just because I have a design team doesn't mean I don't want to see your work and post if here as well! Speaking of the DT, I will be showcasing more of their work later this week! I will put it up on the website in the gallery as well as on here! I'm going to be featured on a website this week so I will most likely be selling out the rest of the Christmas kits! If you haven't had a chance to get these yet, I would suggest you get your kit before the 15th!
One last thing... My December kits are going to ROCK! Sorry, I know I'm taunting you but... I got some really cool ideas and some GREAT vintage finds! I'll have some sneak peeks next week!
Take care ladies!
Great pictures. I bet the girls had a lot of fun!

I love the pictures of the girls. That your little one doesn't like Cat in the Hat is Obivous. How great to share an activity with the fammily like this.
And congrats on getting the Star Board Done!!!
I'm itching to see the Dec Kit!

My kit arrived today and it is so beautiful! Almost to pretty to touch!! Laura, you have outdone yourself!
And to whoever the kit club member is that sent the extra "angel" kit to me, thank you!! Your kindness is heaven sent to think of me. I can't wait to use all the pretty things in the kit to document some special memories of Ellie. Cancer is not going to win and I thank you all for following our story and your prayers for my little girl.
Blessings to you all! ~ Niki
