Blog Candy

I have been the lucky winner of some blog candy recently. I'm always cruising blogs and leaving comments and was pleasantly surprised when I finally won!

Thanks to Carole over at Paper Arts for the cute embroideried tote.

I'd also like to thank the design team over at Platinum Scraps for the paper pack, markers and set of spellbinders nestabilities.

Congratulations Kappa Alpha Psi

Our week in Indiana is winding down and Indianapolis has been a great host city. Banners adorn sign/light post, street signs temporarily renamed, red carpet celebrations and great hospitality.

Bloomington

On Thursday we went to Indiana University in Bloomington. Kappa Alpha Psi was founded at IU in 1911 so one of the themes of the grand chapter meeting was "Come Home to Kappa." They are the only historically Black fraternity founded at a perdoominately white school. I tell you it has been a beautiful sight to see and I'm not sure the campus or Bloomington was ready for our visit. I don't think they expected such an outpouring, there are over 35,000 people in attendence this week and I think most of them have gone or will be going to IU. I'm sharing a picture that I took a few miles before we arrived on campus. I have taken so many pictures I will probably make an album for DH and FIL!

Anniversary

Today DH and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary. We are on vacation in Indianapolis attending his fraternity's 100th year celebration. We have lots of fun events scheduled already so we'll probably have to postpone our anniversary celebration until we get back home! So today I'm sharing a picture of us yesterday while we watched the Indiana Indians lose to the Toledo Mud Hens. We walked in the Kappas parade to Victory stadium enjoyed a catered cookout, the game and fireworks!

Status Check

I've been so busy that I haven't had time to blog or scrap. I'm actually entering this entry in the lobby of an Hampton Inn in Huntington, West Virginia. I'm waiting for DH to get himself together so that we can get back on the road to Indianapolis. He is doing better but still not 100 percent (he'll never get back to where he was). The car is overpacked as usual and we'll probably have to send our clothes out to be pressed. I didn't pack any scrappin' stuff but I will snap some pictures and share them while we're vacationing in Indiana. Wishing you and yours a safe, healthy and happy 4th of July. We will be going to a parade and baseball game tomorrow so stay tuned!

Freezer T-Shirts

I've been busy making T-shirts for DD and her friends, I didn't have enough vinyl so I had to use the freezer paper method. I think they turned out pretty good for a first try! I made t-shirts for DD's twin day(front and back pictured above) and field day, I used the flamingo from Life's a Beach since their school mascot is the flamingo.

Monticello

This is another LO for my daughter's 4th grade album, I can't believe the school is almost over and I'm almost done with the album. I have just a few more LOs and its complete! I have yet to finish her PreK and Kindergarten album, I have done grades 1-3 though.
