I say we because the first day of school is just as hard for us parents as it is for the kids. It seems that my BIL Kelly survived Madelyn’s first day of school. He took half the day off to go with Belinda and Madelyn on her first day of kindergarten. Madelyn had a blast and eagerly got up ready to go again today.

Merci, Erin and Ansley had a great first day of High School… I’m not sure who’s stomach hurt more… mine or theirs. I tell you watching those three get out of the car and head into that great big school just about brought me to tears. I cannot believe Ansley is a freshman this year. She and her friends had a wonderful day. Yes… great big sigh of relief for me. All I could worry about was her getting lost, not remembering where her locker was etc… you know all those typical mom you need to cut the cord kinda thoughts.

(sorry for the not so great photo but I was doing good to get this one)

And here is Amanda’s last first day of high school photo “as said per my sister”. Man I can’t believe my first sweet, adorable little niece is a Senior and a varsity cheerleader too! Yes I live in Texas, cheerleading is a big thing here. Not sure why but it is. Anyway she wanted it.. worked her tail end off to get it and I am so dang proud of her for achieving her goal!

I am working on a sweet little project for tomorrow using the faux mosaic technique. So stay tuned… it’s a fun one.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. This weekend all I did was scrap. I am all caught up on design team assignments and that feels very good. Here is a layout I did for a challenge at ScrapGal. I want everyone to scrap a moment that just makes them laugh. The kind of laugh that brings you to tears and makes your tummy hurt each time you think about it. My sister Belinda was so funny when Mom was pulling her hair through a highlighting cap. Each pull she made the funniest faces or screamed. Belinda had us all in tears from laughing so hard.

I also worked on some Cocoa Daisy layouts using the June kit. Oh there are four little something in this kit that I think are going to be a huge hit. One of them I just adore. Hopefully I will be able to give you a sneak peek soon.

P.S. My little sissybug, it took me nearly 25 years but I finally got you back for digging your fingernails into my makeup. I hope you like the layout. It is now posted all over the internet. Love you and see you soon.
