Wednesday Wanderings

Hello and welcome to another Wednesday Wanderings post!  This week we have been experiencing relatively nice temps, with the pollen being the biggest reason you don't want to go outside!  I've been trying to get myself ready for the next two weekends of being on roadtrips. 

I am planning to go to Cassie's weekend crop next week, while trying to sort through what I wanted  to take I came across several unfinished LOs that I thought I'd try to tackle this week.  Today I'm sharing one of those LOs, it is one of the pages that I was working on for my husband's fraternity album.  The LO uses some of the pictures taken when we went to Indiana for the fraternity's 100th year celebration.  This one is done without alot of fanfare, using paper and misc. items from my stash.  The pictures and their significance is what's most important.  I probably won't get anymore unfinished projects completed before I leave for the crop so I'll just pack them up to take with me!

Wishing you a wonderfully blessed day.

Happy 100th

In case you didn't know the Girl Scouts of America are celebrating their centennial this year. Today is a kick-off with many activities all over the world in honor of this great women's organization. I am proud to say that I was once a girl scout and now my daughter is one, she is a proud member of Troop 3008. My daughter's troop is currently preparing for a trip to Washington, DC in June where they will participate in a sing along as part of the 100th year celebration. So if you happen to see a girl scout today give them a high five for making a difference and being a part of such an awesome organization!

Kappa Kamp

Today I'm sharing a LO that I completed for the Anytime, Anywhere Scrapbooking Experience hosted by Tiare over at iClassygirl.com. This is the third LO for 2012, I'm still working on last week's LO which I hope to complete by the end of the week. The pictures used in the LO were taken last summer while we were in Indiana attending the Kappa Alpha Psi 100th year celebration. DD went to a basketball camp hosted by former NBA player Johnny Newman. I used misc. paper, the basketball and wall decor and more cartridges.

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!
