Pencil Lines Sketch 234

Wow folks... Monday already??? Where did the weekend go... and to top if off this is Spring Break week for the girls! Yikes - they'll be home ALL week. This weekend we did do something special... we went to the circus! It was totally fun and it was great so share this experience with the girls... something that I got to share with my parents when I was little.

It still feels like a dream seeing my pages up on the Pencil Lines Sketch Blog... and this week's sketch by
Anna Bowkis was totally fun to work with... check it out:

Well, that's all for today... Thanks for stopping by!

Happy April Fools Day!

Hey Everyone! You know... I've never really been a fan of this day. A day that you play tricks on friends... and I was the one that fell for everything! I've even fell today for my 7 year old's trick. I'm gullible!

What I am a fool for... scrapbooking! Yep... I've been at it again this week. I just love all the new goodies that hit those digi-shelves today. So many goodies I want to play with... if only I had the time and money huh. So many happenings... that I truly don't know where to start today. So I guess that I'll just Jump right in... with the big news from Creations By Rachael! Did ya hear... here new store opened up today!
