Playing catch up!

I sure have been busy these last few weeks and I have missed blogging! I had planned to do it last week to show some of what I did at the National Scrapbooking Day crop I went to but then life of course happened and I didn't get around to it. I also promised I would show off my new 'do and so without further ado' (hehe) here it is:

I really feel like myself since I got it chopped. Even DH thinks I am a new woman! If you have always wanted to take the plunge with a really short haircut then I would definitely research haircuts with your face shape online, print out some pictures, and take them to a trusted hair tech. I love mine! I think I hugged her when I saw how it looked in the mirror...she was a little scared after that  =)

I loved National Scrapbooking Day this year. I wrote down the laundry list of challenges that Studio Calico was listing and I only managed to do two of them = (    Of course that's because I was busy doing lots of shopping at Scrapdoodles and I had the pleasure of meeting Frisk-a-teer, Wendy Jo (who is a RIOT!) and I won a new Friskar cutter. I hugged her too when I won it! Check it out on the Friskar blog here.

Here are the projects I did:

 This is my take on Davinie's card challenge

 This layout was inspired by a layout featured in May's Scrapbooking Trends mag.

 I did a two page layout that was from Stephanie Howell's challenge but I didn't have good lighting this afternoon so I will post it later! 

I had a blast this Mother's Day weekend. First on Friday evening we went to the Bible Study/Ballroom Dancing class we have been attending for about 6 weeks now. We learned to do the Foxtrot! Let me tell you that it is not as easy as it looks! Then we left on Saturday afternoon for Gettysburg, PA and went camping in a one room cabin. We spent the night eating steaks cooked by DH on the grill and sat by the campfire. 

  I bought some cupcakes from the commissary and they were a big hit with my two boys! 

The next morning my allergies, which had flared up before we left, were doing better thanks to the Neti Pot so I felt great on Mother's Day. We did some shopping and ended up seeing Iron Man 2, which according to a dear friend's daughter, is what all the cool mom's were seeing for Mother's Day. I think she was working her mom over to see it too...what do you think??

I also did TONS of antique shopping while camping. Did you know that New Oxford is the antique capital for central Pennsylvania? How fortunate that I was like 15 minutes away! I will devote an entire post this week with the wonderful things I bought. I want to go back before we move to pick up a few more treasures. Thank the Lord that my husband loves old stuff almost as much as I do!  

Here is my Thank You card to my husband that I made in the cabin!

Speaking of which, today, I am SO happy to be celebrating 8 years with my wonderful husband. I love him more and more every day and he is such a blessing to me from the Lord. Thank you, God, for loving me so much that you sent a man that could be my perfect match!

Have a fantastic day y'all!
