It seems I disappeared

 And another year has come and gone. I started a post in November which is still in draft. 

This is what happens when your grandkids live across the country and you spend most of the winter there and then fly back and forth the rest of the year. But, I wouldn't have it any other way! 

We have been back since May. The littles turned 7 and 5 this spring:) They are growing up so fast. Lauren has no front teeth! She has replaced her dolls with Little Live Pets.  Reilly still has his trains but he is playing with Transformers more and more each day. 

The art group is having a Pop Up Market on June 22. Since we returned from Arizona I have been busy getting ready for this. I have 

I have new paintings and cards. Should be a fun day! 

I am Back but will be Leaving:):)

 The grandkids arrive from phoenix in about 6 hours! The house is ready, the fridge filled with their favorite foods and goodie bags are all set. For the next month I will e busy! They will be in Michigan for a week including 4 days at our cottage up north. Then I am flying back with them to babysit until school starts mid July. I will not be back home until July 21. 

I did manage to get two layouts done yesterday. Both used the current sketch from Sketch N Scrap.

I chose to document Lauren's and Reilly's haircuts in February. I saved hair from both of them and used clear keepsake envelopes to include that on the layouts. Lauren went with a much shorter style. Reilly lets them spike his hair but then wants it combed down:)

 Thank you for stopping by! 

Time Flies!

 I have no excuse except.....................when we are with the grandkids for the winter, I do not have as much time to create and/or share:) I would not trade those days for anything though. 

We are back home now for a while. Last week I managed to complete quite a few layouts. Every couple of months Walgreens offers a coupon for a free 8 x 10. I have been collecting them and started scrapping those first, 

It makes the process quick and easy! 

For those of you who are still following me, thank you! I appreciate it.
