When Life Throws You A Curveball.....

You catch it & move on.....

Good Early Evening Stamping Friends,

As the title to my post says...we've been thrown a curve ball but we're not letting that stop us!  What's the curve ball....we put in an offer on a home, negotiated, got an accepted offer & then we went through the inspection.  This home failed inspection & we started over since the owners didn't want to deal with their watery basement.  Second home....same process--a problem was found, we negotiated the *fixing* of this issue & we were looking forward to closing and moving in.  Well, we did the pre-inspection and everything looked good but we both had a funny feeling because the shower didn't look *new*.....the next day @ closing; we ask for the *proof* that the leak was taken care of as well as the damage to the dining room ceiling.....she couldn't produce ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!  The only thing she did was paint the dining room ceiling & put new caulk in the shower.  She said it wasn't a big deal & what were we going to do...not move?  I couldn't get the words out of my mouth fast enough before my husband said, "NO, we're not buying your home...this closing is off!"

We were in disbelief @ this lady's attitude but the look on her face when we got up to leave....that's all that mattered!  We're very upset about the wasted $$ on inspections, appraisals, attorney fees...we did get our earnest $$ back but still the disappointment is REAL!!!!!

Now we're living amongst a sea of boxes & chaos...continuing to look but haven't found the *one* yet & we're going to hope that the third time is a charm!  There are a lot more homes coming on the market now so we'll just keep our eyes peeled to the listings & think positive thoughts going forward...

I will be glad with this is all over & we can settle in and act like a normal family again!  I never would've thought in a million years that we would have this type of experience but I guess there's all kinds of people out there.

Thank you for hanging in there with me & I will update you as soon as I'm able to again...

Until Next  Time,
Hugs & Love,

Packing Up....

Good Afternoon Stamping Friends & Happy Friday!!!!!

I wanted to take a moment & fill you all in on what's happening right now and also take a bit of time to thank you for the comments, emails and messages I received about my Mother In Laws' passing.  I appreciate your thoughts & prayers more than you know & truly thank you for sticking with me during this time!!!

As the title of my post suggests; we're packing up our current home because we're in the process of buying our *Forever* home!  We've been looking for quite some time & trying to save as much $$ as possible but circumstances beyond our control has forced our hands & so now we're taking the plunge with what we have.  

I have been extremely busy packing up my craft things as well as the kitchen....the kitchen was easy compared to my things!  I purged 3 years ago when we moved here but I guess/suppose I've bought more than what I thought....that can happen when you stick your goodies in a cabinet or basket where it belongs LOL!!!!  I will be very busy packing the rest of the house as soon as I finish with my crafty goodies...I can't tell you how happy I'll be as well!!!!!

I will pop on here as often as I can giving you all updates on our move as well as some pics when I've had the chance to take some.  I can't tell you how happy we are to be making this step as it's been a very long 3 years but for the home we're getting....it's been worth it!

Thank you so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!!!

Until Next  Time,

Hugs & Love,

Death in my family....

Good Morning Stamping Friends!

Now that all my scheduled posts have posted, I'm popping on with a bit of news.....as the title says there's been a death in our family.  My husband lost his mother a few days ago.  Her funeral will be on December 1st.....Things will be hectic & I will be taking some time to be with my family.  Thank you all for understanding....

Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

The Creative Blog Hop

I was nominated by my friend Pia from Pias Papir og Perler.  We met through our blogs & I think she's just the sweetest person ever!!!  The Creative Blog Hop happens every Monday and hops from crafter to crafter.  We all answer the same questions:

1.  What am I working on?
I'm always working on my Design Team work.  I'm either coloring some gorgeous images or figuring out what my layouts are going to be.  Not sure which one takes longer...coloring or the design LOL!!!

2.  How does my work differ from others in my genre?
My style is very clean compared to other designers.  I tend to do very straight/crisp designs & my cards are never over embellished.  I do admire some of the other artists that can put so much on a card & make it look good but that's just not me....I LOVE being different :-)

3.  Why do I write/create what I do?
Card making/scrapbooking is so very relaxing & fun for me!  I'm a full time homeschooling Mom & this is my outlet...my ME time :-)

4.  How does my creation process work?
Believe it or not; it starts with the image I'm working with!  I can look at a stamp & immediately know the colors that I'm going to use.  Every once in a while I'll slip into a slump & need a sketch to boost my creativity and there's nothing wrong with that...I actually LOVE it when a card comes together quite smoothly just from a sketch!  I really enjoy inspiration/color/photo challenges....they really spark my creativity to another level which helps me step outside my comfort zone!  I'm also a bit OCD when it comes to crafting....I know how that may sound but it's true LOL!!!  Everything must be in it's place or I can't find it nor can I concentrate.  I have my flowers in their own space-organized by color so I can just peek in and know what I'm going to use.  I clean my space immediately after I'm done working on a card & just move on to the next one.  Last but definitely not least is I have to have some sort of noise in the background when I'm crafting/creating.  I always play a movie that I can listen to on my iPhone-(now I have an awesome tablet/laptop combo for my movies) & that is a MUST!!!  My concentration will be completely off if it's too quiet so yes I'm a movie fanatic when it comes to creativity!!!!!

I'm nominating Shuly of Shuly cartes as the next hopper.  Shulys' cards are absolutely beautiful & she has such an eye for design as well as the different elements she adds to her creations.  I just LOVE her style!!

It's Been a While......

Good Evening Stamping Friends!

I know it's been a seriously long time since I posted to my blog & I thank each and every one of you for your prayers, cards, emails and concerns for me.  I appreciate you all so very much & I'm so happy to have such positive people in my life! 

I am doing much better with my daily struggle dealing with my brother's death....thanks to an awesome counselor--Hi Jane!  I took her advice & seriously took some time for myself (after a pretty hectic summer schedule) to really focus on this final phase that I'm in.  Unfortunately, this phase is the hardest but at least I know that the light is getting brighter at the end of this tunnel I found myself in.

Grief is NOT easy & everyone grieves differently.  I had to push my grief aside & deal with all the ugliness that came with Rodale's death.  I put the game face on & faced everything that was thrown at me head on.  I honestly don't know how I made it through most days & to further delay my emotions; I've kept myself extremely busy.  Well, that was a huge mistake & my trip to Convention this past summer was the beginning of my most recent breakdown.  When I took a moment to just relax; that was when everything that I had been hiding came crashing back to reality.  I struggled everyday that I was there to stop crying & have a good time.  Thank goodness I had an awesome roommate that actually listened to me & it felt so good to talk about what I am dealing with.

I also know that most people mean well when they ask you how you're doing even though in reality; they really don't care & DON'T want to hear it and the most synical question that seriously brings out that anger that I'm dealing with---Gosh, are you STILL grieving over your brother?  You really need to get over it & just move on!  All I can say is that people are cruel....very cruel when it comes to death.  This is a process & not one that goes away after a few hours or weeks.  Some people take years to get over....really get over a traumatic death.  My baby brother's death was so very traumatic on so many different levels that it's not even funny!  I lost my mother to breast cancer back in 1998.  She suffered a very long & slow death.  I just recently lost my grandmother who also died very slowly.  When a person dies slow; you have a chance to adjust, to actually get used to the idea that this person will no longer be in your life.  It doesn't mean that you don't cry & grieve for them when they're finally at peace but it's a much easier pain to handle or at least this has been my experience.  I am not able to go into details about my brother but what I've found out has not been pleasant & the more I'm interviewed; that bandage gets ripped off that sore even harder and I'm beginning to resent the Government more & more each day.  I will never get closure here....I barely got his body & this is just the tip of the iceberg.

My shining star is knowing that I am almost done!  I'm not rushing, hiding or keeping myself so busy that I can't think straight anymore.  I have taken a step back to really just focus on me & that's the best advice Jane gave me.  I also talk with my husband a lot more because he was so very worried about me & just wanted me to *express* myself or let go of my feelings somehow.  Talking is awesome & it really helps when you have someone that really cares about you to help you through those dark days.  I'm no longer asked "Are you ok?" the statement is "You're going to be OK" and I can smile a real smile because I know that I will be.

My smile is much bigger tonight because I've been accepted to be a member of the Color Me Beautiful Design Team & we make our debut tomorrow!  Why a design team you ask?  I needed to get back to having fun & not just creating for my business.  I miss doing challenges & I'm looking forward to participating in those once again.  I'm not going to sit here & promise that you'll see a post every day but you should see at least 2 although I'm aiming for 3.  I've found that if I don't *plan* things; they actually happen so just make sure you come back tomorrow to see my *simple debut* card for Color Me Beautiful! 

Hugs & Love,

Daddy Daughter Dance....

Good Morning!
Well, as you can see from the pics posted above; what kind of weekend we had here!  Shopping for the perfect dress & accessories to go with it, visiting the salon to have pretty hair for the evening and finally the DANCE!!!!!

Bianca was so excited to go to her first dance with her father!  They had so much fun & I can't wait to see the professional pic from that night!  She went with her best friend Julianna & her Marine Dad.....I was told that they were glued at the hip the entire night LOL!!!

While they were out dancing the night away; Brandon & I went bowling and had a few rounds of Laser Tag. This was my first time doing the whole laser tag thing but I tell ya; it was really fun!  I had no clue as to what I was supposed to be doing & he shot me plenty of times....as a matter of fact; I think I was actually killed by him LOL!!!  We had a blast & I'm looking forward to another fun weekend like the one we just had!!!!!!!

I plan to get back to my craftiness....I say that loosely because every time I make a plan.....something comes up so I'm just going to do it!  Thanks so much for stopping by & I'll be back later!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Silence is Golden......

Happy New Year My Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday & I'm wishing that your New Year's will be filled with lots of love and blessings!!!

We had a very nice Christmas ourselves.  We spent the day with new friends from South Africa & the children had so much fun!  It's wonderful getting to know new people & learning about different cultures.  I almost thought I would spend Christmas in bed because I was so sick but I came through it & actually had time to get my kiddos better....a Mom's work is never done!  Our New Year's was very peaceful & quiet just the way we always like it.  We're not into partying so we spent our time watching movies & just having a good time!

The last few days I've spent with my oldest son Reginald.  He's now in the Navy & he left yesterday so I wanted to spend some real quality time with him.  It didn't make it any easier to say So Long to my baby but we truly enjoyed each other's company these past weeks.  I knew the day would come when he would leave home & venture out on his own and we've talked about this day for quite some time.....I guess I was hoping it would NEVER come however; we parted on very good terms & I'm looking forward to hearing from him in a couple of weeks.  I've been trying very hard to not get depressed.....trying to put my focus somewhere else but I know that if I don't deal with how I'm feeling; I will slip into another depression.

I do have some classes that I need to be working on so I will be starting/finishing those projects to share with you very shortly.  I'm going to ask that you keep my son in your prayers & myself as well.  I'm not so worried about him being in danger; it's just a Mother's love for her child being out in the world for the first time.  I'm hoping that every lesson we've ever taught him will stick in his mind & that he'll be smart about life in general.  I'm going to work now after I dry my eyes.......thanks so much for stopping by today & reading my message.  Take Care!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

I'm Up & Running!!!!!

Good Morning & Happy Monday Friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!  Ours was lovely & perfect for our very first Holiday in our new home.....we're truly thankful for everything good that's come our way lately & can't stop giving praise to God for blessing us each and every day!!!

I'm now posting from home even though I don't have all my things put away just yet....the Holiday sort of interfered with my *clean-up* work!  I have been working diligently getting things just where I want them so I can start creating again & I'm pretty confident that by this weekend....I should have something to show you. 

I do appreciate your patience as I get all my stampin' stuff organized & put away....I cannot create if I don't know where things are!  My main goal for today is getting the rest of my things in their place so all I have to do is pull out my cardstock & start stamping away!!!  I better get to work so I'm signing off for now!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Checkin' In Part 2.....

Good Morning Friends & Happy Monday!!!!
I'm posting from my local library again this morning but I'm happy to report that I'm not so stressed out anymore!  I realized that my expectations were just really too high & there were going to be some bumps along the road whether I liked it or not soooooo now I'm much more at ease & taking one day at a time to get my things all unpacked and in their proper places!!!

We had to disassemble so many pieces of furniture to get everything moved here & needless to say that with my DH being gone....I'm not having much luck finding the screws to put my furniture back together!  I'm not upset though---much to my surprise---I'm just moving on with what I can & will get back to those things later.  One of my bookcases was pretty damaged during the move so that's severely hindering me from having all my stamp stuff out where I can find everything.....this did make me pretty angry & I'm still not happy about that!!!

Deep breath.....I'm very elated to report that Brandon & Bianca had an awesome first week of school!  They both love their new schools & how friendly everyone is here!  Bianca was tested before she even started & was immediately bumped up to the advanced/gifted classes & I cannot begin to tell you all how much of a difference that has made!!!!  She's happy, excited about going to school & actually looking forward to whatever challenges the teachers put before her!  Brandon's counselor wanted to bump him up in classes also but I want to watch him for a while before we decide to really challenge him.  He does excellent in all his schoolwork, quizzes & chapter reviews but if you put a test in front of him....he fails big time.  With that being said; the teachers are going to monitor him, give him extra reviews & whatever other help he may need to get those test scores up.  Their ultimate goal is to have him in advanced classes his 8th grade year & I have no doubt that will happen!  I can honestly say that this was the best move we could've made for their education & well being and I only hope that they continue to excel in their classes!!!!

My hour is almost up so I'm going to sign off for now.  I will try to be back later this week with another update or better yet from my own computer....we'll see!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
Jackie

Checkin' In.....

Good Morning & Happy Monday Friends!
First off let me say how happy & thankful I am for all your sweet and uplifting comments & emails.  Believe me when I tell you that my eyes weren't dry either but now I shed tears of joy instead of pain & frustration!!!!

Sooooo, we're officially moved but by no means are we completely moved in!!!  I'm saying hello from my new local library since things are still a bit chaotic at home right now.  I don't even have my pc together yet but hope to very soon & that's driving me completely nuts LOL!!

On a very happy note, I did manage to get the kiddos off to school this morning without a hitch & I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll have a great first day.  There's so much that I need to do still & I feel like my head is spinning right now.......visualize me screaming at this point!!!!!  I'll post again when I can & thanks so much for stopping by!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
Jackie

Time For Change....

Good Evening & Happy Tuesday Friends!
I'm going to take a moment to explain why I haven't been posting as much to my blog:

I lost my baby brother 1 year ago & his death completely devastated me.  I didn't think I would ever get to a point in my life where I could smile & actually be happy again without breaking into tears but I'm happy to say that the day has finally come!  I will never get over his death & my heart will always ache for him....however; I'm now at peace with everything that occured June of 2010. 

My husband & I took the financial brunt of having to deal with my brother's death and I'm here to tell you that it wasn't pretty & it completely wiped us out.  It's funny how the insurance company can do whatever they want regardless to what's written in *stone* & people around you turn their backs very quickly when things aren't going as planned......a year ago I was a very depressed, extremely  bitter & angry person because of all this crap but today I'm just at ease!  I've found my happy place & it's really peaceful and serene....I've surrounded myself with positive, upbeat people and cut ties with those that choose to stir up all kinds of trouble.  What a relief that was!!!!  It wasn't easy getting to *my* place & I most certainly couldn't be rushed into this.....it takes time to get your head & heart together after all the mess we've had to deal with!

After falling in such a dark hole where we couldn't even see the bottom; I'm elated to say that we're moving this Friday!!!  I have just about my whole entire home packed up.....I'm leaving the food for tomorrow but my work here is done!  We're loading up the truck on Thursday & we're leaving this town for good very early Friday morning!  Maybe I shouldn't say for good since I will have to take a road trip once a quarter to do classes here for my most loyal, faithful & new friends alike!!!  Kathy R., Misti & Adriana will be truly missed!  These 3 ladies have seen us through our darkest days with hugs, groceries, shoulders to cry on......teaching me how to jump start my car when the battery died!  I couldn't ask for better friends & I wish I could pack them up and take them with me!  I do believe they know how much they mean to me & just in case they don't; I'll show them just how much I appreciate them with lots of Stampin' Up! gifts when I return LOL!!!!  You guys are awesome & I LOVE you very much!!!!!

My children are very excited to start their new schools on Halloween & to get into their new home this weekend!  I'm so happy that I've been completely honest with them about everything that's happened to us & I'm ever so grateful for their giving spirit.....my kiddos have been my lil' rocks through this whole process and they've taken good care of their Mama....I am truly BLESSED!  We're looking forward & not backward and I see a very bright future ahead for us! 

Thank you all for sticking with me through an extremely rough year & the words of encouragement mean so much coming from you all!  I lose my internet on Thursday & won't get it back until Saturday so please bear with me while we hit the road and get all set up in our new home.  I'm excited to be in a different town & meet new stamping friends.....after a nice long nap of course LOL!  I appreciate your visit & I'll be back as quickly as I possibly can! 
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

The Joys of Motherhood......

Good Late Morning & Happy Friday!

First off, let me say that life has been extremely busy getting my kiddos ready for back to school!  I didn't intentionally wait 'til the last minute to get all this stuff done but with money being tight; I had to *stall* until EVERYTHING that was needed was on sale!!  I'm actually glad that I did because I was able to save a LOT of money compared to purchases from previous years so I am a happy camper right now!!!!

I also had Kathy's workshop on Wednesday & we had a really good time!  She LOVED her gifts that I made her and I know I haven't posted any pics---give me a bit of time to show you what YOU can receive for hosting a Stampin' Up! workshop with me!   I also showcased a TON of goodies from the upcoming Holiday Mini at the workshop---everyone LOVED what they saw & we're keeping her party open until the 1st of September so they can all order from that book as well!!  If you want to get in on the fun; email your orders to me at happyscrapper2@hotmail.com

Now that you know where I've been----unto my post!  My card for today is one of the projects we created @ Diva Night this past Monday evening.  I forget what style of card it is but I really like it & will try my hand at making my own version very soon!  The stampset we used is called Flower Fest....the really cool thing about this set is every stamp except the leaf coordinates with a punch & that makes for much easier crafting in my book!! 

Well, that's it for me!  I'm waiting on my neighbor to call me about my dryer, waiting on a friend to show up to help me with a computer program & I have to pay the rest of the monthly bills sooooo I guess I'm done until Monday!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend!!!!!

Until Next Time,

Hugs & Love,

Supplies:  Flower Fest & Curly Cute Stampsets; Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral & Old Olive Ink; Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Whisper White & Old Olive Cardstock; Brights Collection DSP; Scallop Circle, Butterfly, Five Petal Flower & Fancy Flower Punches; SU! Rhinestones; Dimensionals

Excuse My Absence.....

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday Friends!

My children are my first priority & I could see that we needed to spend some QUALITY time together so I took a bit of time off from EVERYTHING and just relaxed & enjoyed our time together!  I do apologize for not posting that I'd be leaving for a while....HOWEVER, this was a last minute decision & their smiles of joy when I didn't rush to the computer made this lil' vacation even more enjoyable & I stood firm to NOT have electronic communication while we were away.  I have to admit that it was quite relaxing & we had sooo much fun just enjoying each others' company and now that we're back home & I've shipped my daughter off on a fun road trip with her Dad.....I can now stamp a little!  I'm working on a few thing for an upcoming workshop that I'm having & I'm waiting on Mr. Brown to show up with a box full of goodies----OK, so I'm busted!  I really came home because I didn't want my new stamps & stuff sitting out in the rain!!!!!  But anywhoo, I will share some of my new creations with you starting tomorrow so be sure & stop back by! 
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

I'm Still Here...for the moment!

Good Morning Friends!
I've been crazy busy this past week getting everything ready for Convention & I can't believe that I'm leaving TODAY!!!!  I'm really excited to get to Utah & learn some new things to share with you.  Unfortunately my schedule was so very hectic that the posts I had planned to go up this week will not...I'm hoping you bear with me though unti I get home.  I will try to *pop* in from Salt Lake City & give updates when I can.

Thanks so much for understanding & I look forward to sharing some fun new things with you!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Recovering......

Good Morning!
I am taking a moment to let you all know that the surgery went well but recovery is taking it's time.  The Dr. has me on pretty strong pills both antibiotic & pain meds so for the most part; I'm out of it!!    I had to go see him first thing this morning & I'll be doing that just about everyday this week so he can put medicated packs in my mouth.  Sometimes even after you follow all instructions; you still end up in pain but at least he's close by to numb me up & I truly appreciate that!!!

I'm not sure what I was doing wrong but my pre-posts didn't go live last week!  I don't know where they went but they're not on my blog.....I know I was distracted but I've never made a mistake like this before.  I do apologize & as soon as I'm feeling up to it I will post one of the projects that I did before my surgery.  Thanks for hanging in here with me!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Thanks For Sticking With Me....

Hello My Faithful Blogging Friends!
It has taken me a while to pull myself together after the tragic loss of my brother but I wanted to take the time to thank everyone for the emails, comments & cards that I received in the mail. It means a lot to me knowing that so many people that I haven't even met care so much.

I know that some people can blog their way through grief & I thought I was tough enough to deal with anything until I got the call about my brother. I can honestly say that I fell completely apart and haven't had a clear head in months. We were extremely close being that he was the baby and I was always his overly protective Big Sister. We had many great times together and with the Holidays upon us, it is really rough here in my home.

Thanksgiving was extremely sad because that was when he would always pull a surprise visit and the kiddos would be so excited to see him. I have many wonderful memories of him and will be working on his scrapbook very slowly as it's still extremely hard to go through all his personal belongings. I still can't believe he's gone and will never come home again. I have a LOT of bad days where I can barely leave my home but I know that in time--a long time--I will be OK.

My children have been AWESOME during this difficult time! They have lifted me up and let me know that it's OK, they've shown me nothing but love & I am beyond words for how I feel about them. I guess I've raised them right & have shown them the love that I'm now receiving. I thank God for them and all of you!!!

Bear with me a bit more while I get things together so I can start posting again. I'm seriously out of the loop & I hope you understand.
Until Next Time....
Hugs & Love,

Thank You All So Much!!!!!

Wow!  What a hectic week I've had getting everything in order around here.  After that heart-stopping phone call & driving back and forth over 2 hours making sure he was going to be OK; he's home and healing thank GOD!!!  I almost want to say he's back to normal since he's grouchy and a bit bi***y LOL so I think he's going to be just fine!!

I hope to be back on schedule with things as of this weekend but don't hold me to it.  Our life has been a bit altered with him not working right now so your continued thoughts & prayers are truly appreciated!  I will keep you updated as much as I can but do know that I'm not getting much computer time these days.  I'm truly thankful for all my *cyber friends* and hope to be back creating very soon!!!

HUGS & LOVE,

Prayers Please.....

Good Morning My Fellow Blog Readers,
My husband was involved in a terrible accident yesterday in his truck.  He's in stable condition and his spirit is pretty high but I want to ask everyone to please pray for his speedy recovery & my sanity.  I will keep you all updated on how things are going when I can.

Thank you so much and I hope you all have a Blessed rest of the week.
Hugs & Love,

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Everyone!
I found this poem online & thought I'd share with you all.  I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving & safe travels for those of you that will be on the road.  God Bless!!!!




Thanksgiving Feasting


When the Halloween pumpkins are gone,
And the leaves have all fallen to ground,
When the air has turned windy and cold,
Then Thanksgiving will soon be around.


Thoughts of loved ones all feasting together,
Pleasant pictures from past times appear
To dwell in each heart and each mind--
Then Thanksgiving is finally here!


The kitchen has scrumptious aromas,
The dining room looks oh, so fine,
Decorations with pilgrims and turkeys,
And now we are ready to dine!


First the napkins are placed on our laps;
Now the prayer for the meal to be blessed,
Then we stuff the good food in our tummies,
And we hope for it all to digest!

Brandon's Christmas Concert

Happy Friday Everyone!
I've had an extremely busy week with closing out Misti's party, getting ready for Brandon's concert, prepping for next week's technique class & add the fact that I do work part time......get the picture LOL!!  I'm showing you a few pics we took last  night after Brandon's performance @ school.  He joined the choir this year and is really enjoying it & his choir teacher just LOVES him!!!  The children did a phenomenal job with harmonizing their different parts & dancing along with the tunes.  We had a great time.....I hope you enjoy the pics!

I need to go shopping so I'm out the door!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
TTFN,
Hugs,
