"To the Rescue":
There are actually 9 different papers in the collection & they are dang cute!
These are a few samples from the "Simple Pleasures" line:
There are 9 papers in this line too...these two lines are one of my favorites...so cute! All double sided...and we have them all! Come in and check them out this weekend!
It's my favorite comic to read every day. It just speaks to me. Here are the last two days:
Does the artist happen to live in my house? Holy cow! Sometimes the conversations are so close to home it's eerie...
This Thursday is kind of a smorgasbord of $1 make-n-takes. They're ones you've previously seen...and you get your pick on what you want to make, while supplies last. So here's your opportunity in case you missed one in the past couple of months! See you Thursday!
Anyone who has seen an Arizona Highways magazine knows that the photography in it is just beautiful...quite honestly, they do Arizona proud!

All you have to do is go to their website and print out the passport (click here).

We've watched the 4th of July parade every year from this same spot...since Kendall was a baby. (it's a great spot!) And because of that, I could post photos of the parade from, say 3 years ago & they would look exactly the same. But I promise, these photos are from this year :) The guy holding the US flag is our good friend Dave Saurer. We sat with his family during the parade.
I'm enthralled with the Hopi dancers. I love their traditional dress & costumes...well, except those flip flops that I just noticed.
As scrapbookers, we document the history we make. How cool is that?
The little boy in this sailor suit just melted my heart. He was SO cute!
Very clever demolition derby car! I was struck by how all those "portholes" were perfectly lined up. Someone takes great pride in the cars they're about to demolish. Impressive!
These horses were stunning. HUGE, too.
Using an old lens (that I don't love) but I love this photo!
Kendall & Kelsey, enjoying the parade. The best part of the parade? The guys standing behind us would suddenly burst into song & sing "I love a parade!" and after a few times, the guys across the street would sing back to them "We love a parade!" I have to say, I loved this year's parade...really & truly enjoyed it!
I have no idea who this little girl is. But I can honestly say, she is the most beautiful child I've ever seen.
I have a challenge for you: print out your 10 favorite photos from the weekend and create a 1 or 2 page layout and journal (it doesn't have to be deep...just list your favorite parts of the weekend). Lets knock it out now, while it's fresh in your mind. Email me your pages & I'll post them. Or post a comment linking your page to your blog. Come on now, it'll be fun! Promise!
What was my favorite part of the weekend? Well, I didn't take my camera (imagine that!), but we went on a 4 hour bike ride. Audra, Don & I rode from around Foxglenn Park, down the Urban Trail to Ft. Tuthill then to Ponderosa Trials, where we picked up MacKenzie, over to Campus Coffee Bean for coffee & 9 grain toast (a little bit of heaven, let me tell you!) & back home on the Urban Trail. I hesitate to tell you how beautiful it was...only because it was also deserted & simply breathtaking. Would want it to get all congested now, would we? Here's a link to the map.
Be safe...and take lots of photos!
From Laurie Schwartz:
Send me photos of your pages & I'll be happy to post them! It's inspiring to so many people to see what other scrappers do!
Look what I found at Hodge Podge Collectibles the other day:
That's not my actual typewriter...mine has not a scratch on it...but it looks just like this. It's a 1965 Royal Empress...and it's cool! Better yet, it was only $10. Cannot wait to use it! Already, Kendall has been playing with it & I heard her tell her friend that she loved it. It doesn't have a ribbon in it yet, but she was typing away last night. My husband teased the heck out of me for buying it, but it's SO cool! How could I not? I think I might put it in the classroom for you to use for journaling. What do you think?
