First week of school

Well we are entering the last day of the first week of school. Getting back into routines has been a little crazy, like remembering oh yeah before I run out the door to work I should pack him a lunch, lol. We will slowly get the swing of things I'm sure.

It would be nice however to know who is teacher is and who is in his class. I don't quite understand why it takes a week to determine this, to me Trevor has basically wasted a week of learning since all they are doing is sitting in a room with the Grade 7 teacher, doesn't make much sense to me given he is in Grade 2, oh well this is the way things are.

We are off to do a corn maze this weekend, should be fun, and it seems as if summer is returning (this week has been very fall like) for at least the next two days. If you have never done a corn maze I highly recommend it, tons of family fun.

I have listed a few new items this week as well in my Etsy shop, this scrapbooking set is one of them, and the plan is to add more and more this weekend.

Also two giveaways going on now. The Christmas card giveaway ends on the 15th so if you haven't yet entered be sure to scroll down to check out the rules (really easy) and a great prize. Also for those of you on twitter,(http://twitter.com/kriskroppin)for the 749th to return the contest tweet you will win a 1 year card of the month membership as seen in my Etsy shop.

Good luck to all that enter.
Cheers

Personal Crafting

Do you ever find that when you get involved in selling your craft that you forget to do what you love for yourself?

This has been happening to me lately, don't get me wrong I am very appreciative of the custom orders and producing things for the store but I have to remember from time to time that I started scrapbooking to ensure that my kids had their childhood memories preserved. Well I am only about 2 years behind (I take too many pictures, lol).

With that said I decided to sit down and work on Trevors book, Halloween 2006, it was his first real Halloween party and it was held at Rors work. As you can imagine Electronic Arts could put together a spectacular party and sure enough they did.

Here are the pics of his layout

Anyway it will be my goal to keep up with the kids layouts, at the very least 1 per week per kid, really not unattainable.

I did also work on some Christmas gift tags that I hope to have listed tonight so be sure to check back.

Finally I will be posting some of my Christmas wish list items over the weekend so if you have anything I should take a look at let me know :)

Cheers
