A Layout From last Night's Crop

Last night I actually attended a scrapbook crop! Back in October at the school auction, I purchased a spot for my mom and I in a scrapbook crop at the local scrapbook store. We had a great time! It was fun to scrap with other teachers and parents. We decided to try and do it once a month. I didn't accomplish too much thanks to too much talking and shopping. I did manage to get one layout finished. It's from the Magnifique Workshop on the Go. I wasn't sure I'd like the peacock-themed papers when I ordered them, but in person, the colors are STUNNING! I used it for some pictures from our Seattle trip over the summer. We drove over to Tacoma and found this pier where Mike used to fish as a kid. Yes, I realize I spelled pier wrong on the layout. I got my stamps out of order. Not sure how I'm going to fix it yet. Probably a little layering.

Yesterday was a big day for Brendan. It was kindergarten's turn to lead the Friday school Mass. He had a big two paragraph reading. He did so great in front of the 350+ people there. He read so clearly and did everything he was supposed to do. All my 7th graders were saying what a great job "Mini Schuette" did. It was a proud mama moment for sure :)
