City Girl Garden!

Today’s word challenge word is “garden”.  Although we’ve lived in a rural area for over 23 years I’m still a city girl at heart!  We planted a huge vegetable garden the first summer after we moved here.  We also had 3 peach trees and a plum tree.  We had a wonderful bounty but it was a lot of work.  I decided to stick with the fruit and vegies at the local grocers.  One thing I particularly miss is tomatoes.  You just can’t beat home grown.   The kit I used is a facebook freebie by Digital Design Essentials.  If you’d like to get loads of freebies and play along with the word challenge go to Digi Scrapping Freebies on facebook.

Extractions!

I took a photo with my son swinging on a rope from a tree and extracted just that portion to use on this page.  The acrylic font is a freebie from Designs by MSPeeler.  The kit is Summer Dream-Meadow (CollabGirls).  This page was made for today’s word challenge “On The Floor”.  In south Texas floor and ground are synonyms, lol!

Reunion Fun!

I had a great time at our family reunion!  We stayed at a really neat place on Lake Buchanan.  The kids had loads of fun with all kinds of activities.  We had our first reunion last year. Since we are scattered across Texas and Oklahoma we used to only see each other at funerals, not the best time to visit.  Now we can spend 2-3 days having fun, remembering good times and getting better acquainted with extended family. I love it!
