Now its time to clean up my craft room, who wants to clean when you are busy creating, it's a mess in there. Here are some layouts and a cards I did during the crop. I actually embossed 2 cards. Go me.

House of Serendipity Week 4

For week 4 of House of Serendipity over at Serendipity Scrapbooks we had to choose one of the DT to "Scraplift" I chose this awesome LO by Madeline below. She made that pineapple, pretty sweet LO. This week we are split in to two teams and are working together as a team to get a number of points. The contest has been a bunch of fun! I hope I don't get kicked out on week 5!

The Hard Part is over.....

All the really hard work should be done in the garden now, yesterday Doug and I unloaded a pickup truck full of topsoil and then a load of compost, all by hand with shovels.... My back was killing me today. Saturday our fantastic family and friends came over, Nathan Leanna, Bobby, and Randy came out to help get the fence up and get the boxes together. I'm so over turning dirt at the moment. We were in bed at 8:30 last night.

Doin Work

This is what our veggie garden looks like right now. You just have to imagine what all the veg tables will look like. We are going to fence in the garden so the deer don't get in. We picked up some 6' chicken wire fencing, we hope that will keep them out. Doug has been working on building some raised beds, so far the plan is to have 2 8x4' raised beds and 2 4x4' raised beds. This weekend we hope to get the fence up and put in our finished beds. If we work really hard we may be able to get some veggies in the ground.
This is the starting of our garden. So far we have dug up the sod and taken it out. Doug dug it up with the backhoe and took most of the sod out of the dirt. I helped him get the last of the sod out.

This is the first raised bed box that Doug made today. He did a pretty good job. I helped pull nails out of the boards so we could reuse them. The boards were from a shipping crate

House of Serendipity Weeks 2 and 3

The House of Serendipity is in full swing over at Serendipity Scrapbooks. Its been a lot of fun and all the ladies over there are making fantastic layouts. I hope I don't get kicked out this week, maybe if I'm lucky I will get picked head of household, LOL.

The Fun layout above is for week 3. Hopefully I won't get kicked out this week. We had 2 sketches to choose from for the week 3 challenge.

I didn't get kicked out week 2 this is my layout I had to use shades of red. I think it turned out pretty good, it's a pretty cute picture of Zoey and Isabelle.

March Kit (Part 1)

It's the first woo hoo, I finally get to share all the fantastic projects I was able to make with the Serendipity Scrapbooks March kit. This kit was loaded with beautiful Basic Grey Origins papers and Exclusive Serendipity Scrapbooks Rooftop Greenhouse papers. I was able to make 7 layouts, 2 cards, a little bird box, and a journal. That is a ton of stuff and I have some leftovers to make some more cards with. The mix of colors in this kit was beautiful. You can get your March kit here. There are 2 different sizes of kits and a Cardstock or just patterned paper kit. Pretty Sweet.
