My son is in the second grade and his teacher is tough. I requested her because she will prepare him for the third grade.   Every night it has been a battle getting him to do his homework.  On this particular night he did not argue with me. He did all of his homework.  When he was finished he smiled, told me he loved me and that I was the best mom in the whole world! Priceless!! And to top it off he said let's take a picture! He melts my heart! I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!!

The supplies I used are Simple Stories, Bo Bunny and American Crafts.  This is a picture of my son, Noah  and his best friend Kaleb.  It was the week before school starts and my husband and I took them to the movies to see Despicable Me 2.  We always try to do something special right before school starts.  He chose the movies. I took their picture in front of a big display for the new movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Hello September! I can't believe it is already here.  Along with the new month comes a new sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap.  Here is the sketch and my layout:

 

We have a new addition to our home, a cat. We knew there were a couple of stray cats in the woods behind our house. They had never come up to the house except for this little one.  My husband started feeding him and you know once you feed them they never go away! My son feel in love with him and named him Mr. Whiskers.  One day he ask if he could take my camera and take some pictures of him. I used these snapshots on this layout.  The supplies I used are Amy Tangerine, Jillibean Soup and Kaiser Crafts.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!
