Turkey Day

I left Chaz on his birthday this year. I took the girls up to the cabin so he could have some much-needed study time alone. He studied for 10 hours on his birthday and didn't even get fireworks.




Not even a week has passed since we got home and I have already scrapbooked Thanksgiving! My goal has been to get all of 2009 scrapbooked by the time we get our tax return or, even better, by mid-January! I only have July through November to do. :) Only.

All done!

Here are the rest of the pages for my Cali trip...yay! I'm actually done with a scrapbooking project!

Next pages of Cali Trip

I finished these just a few minutes ago...and this template with the circles was tricky. But I did it! Yay for me!

Trip to California

Rather than post all the hundreds of pictures that I took (as well as my sister-in-law, Emily) I am posting the pages I digitally scrapbooked. I learned how to use free templates and once I actually figured it out, it was super easy! I took 2 days learning how and doing the 2 pg filmstrip layout and I have done 2 pages today in an hour or so. (And I bet if you weren't as picky as I was about choosing and editing pictures it would be WAY faster!) I will post more as I finish them...

Kristyn and Penny, note how crooked most of my pictures are. Be proud. (even if most pages were from a template)

Thanks again to Emily, for inviting me to tag along, and especially Emily's friend Melanie for letting us stay at her house and disrupt her sleep! (Ellie was sick, tired and homesick the entire time...there was a lot of screaming!)
It was super fun!!!
