It's August Already?!?!

First of all I want to wish my dad a VERY HAPPY 88th BIRTHDAY!!! LOVE YOU DADDY!
The month of July simply FLEW past! With Noah's two-week visit and then 2 1/2 days later my trip to Houston, it was filled with TONS of FUN! I can't believe that it's already over. You know all about Noah's visit. But the Houston trip... What can I say? There aren't enough adjectives to describe it! It was the most amazing time I've had in a VERY long time! Fourteen of us from My Sketch World got together on Friday night and scrapped, laughed, played, giggled, screamed, cried and enjoyed each other's company until Monday morning when we finally had to part company and say farewell till next year. Other than when Steve and I went to St. Thomas a few years ago I think it was the best trip EVER! :) And none of us can wait to do it all over again! We were literally screaming when we met and crying when we left. I LOVE my MSW ladies!!!
We were treated like queens with a Hummer stretch limo from the hotel to the awesome Mexican restaurant for dinner and back again. And the buses from the airport to the hotel and back, plus the buses driving us to Houston's downtown medical center and then over to the Johnson Space Center. WOW! Saturday we spent at Archiver's and scrapped from 10 AM to 11 PM then went back to the hotel and scrapped until we couldn't stay up any longer! God bless Lori and her Rooster Tails! YUMMY! :)
And believe it or not I actually was able to scrap while on my trip! I got most of a 21 page mini album (10 x 6) done for Noah about the animals he saw on his visit here. I just finished it but will have to wait for sunlight to take pics of it. And then I did 4 full-sized layouts as well! There's a slideshow under this post of the few projects I created this month.
And now on to August. My ONLY month "off" this summer! YAY! I plan to have great fun with the MSW ABC Summer Crop. You can find the information here - http://www.mysketchworld.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=6098 (Sorry I can't get the link to work here..... Will put it in my sidebar shortly...
There's lots of AWESOME prizes and fun to be had here so come join me!
In September my parents and brother are coming for a 2-3 week visit. YAY! And then in October my third grandbaby is due! WOOHOO! By then it'll be time for Thanksgiving and then Christmas! So my year is full of lots of excitement and photo ops. (As if I need MORE pics to scrap! Haha!)
Anyway, hopefully I can keep up a bit better in August with all the events and boards. Meanwhile, happy scrapping and remember Jesus loves you!
