Happy birthday sweet girl!!  Love you Ruby Tuesday!!

My sister has this awesome tradition where she takes pictures on the eve of their birthday so here are a couple of Marissa's Last Day to be 9 photos!

I hope you're all staying cool!  It is crazy hot here.

goodbye grade 3

We're almost there!  It's almost summer vacation.  This has been a TOUGH year and I am so looking forward to the time to recharge and spend time with those I love.

In honour of the almost last day of this school year, I thought I would share this page with a picture from last year's last day of school.  Cannot believe my girl is almost done grade 4!!

Before & After

Hello there everyone!!  Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!  I am happy to say that I have actually spent some time at my scrap table this weekend!!

Just wanted to pop in and share a layout.  This one is for the challenge (LCMB #296) over at Lasting Memories.  They are making everything "all about me" this month which I think is a great idea because we rarely scrap about ourselves (or maybe that's just me).  

 Created with Stampin' Up papers.

This page is also based on this sketch from Sketches in Thyme (Sketch #177).

More birthdays....

This week kind of got away from me.  Busy at work and germs invading our house means no blogging time!

So, there were a couple of other family birthdays this week that I need to mention.

My niece Morgan turned 8 on Thursday!

And my brother-in-law Mike is celebrating his birthday today!

Happiest birthday wishes to both of you!!!

Both cards were made at classes with my fave SU demo, Denise Donald.

Happy birthday!

My sister's birthday was on Friday.  I did not forget.  It has just been a crappy busy week and I didn't get a chance to post.  I couldn't let her day go by though without acknowledging it.

Happy birthday sisterfriend!  Thanks for being an awesome sister and an even better friend.  I love you!!

Here we are last year....

And here is her card I made at a long ago Stampin' Up! class with Denise.  I had to add some washi tape to it though because it got a little damaged in my stash.  Worked okay, I think.
