Sketch Challenge

My two favorite sites to visit and participate.

I am doing this weeks sketch at CroppinParadise from my friend Cheri's blog/sketch site

When I asked Cheri about using a sketch here was her responce "You're welcome to use any of the sketches anytime. I would suggest telling them to link up their layouts with mister linky by July 5th so they can get in on the drawing. It's a really nice gift from Reminisce. But you would have to use one of the June sketches for that...."

Here it is:

Heres my take on it

I hope you love it as much as I do!! I hope you participate at both places for 2 chances to win.

I am reorganizing my scrap space!! thats always fun. I now have a computor just for photos and my cricut. so I need to make room for that. Here are some of my creations I did.

These photos are from when we took Tyler for his first tatoo. A bulldog in memory of his cousin sam, who also has a bulldog, tyler included a broken chain on his tatoo to symbolize the loss of his cousin.

Photo's taking trees down at our house, talk about monkeys swinging from the branches.

My Family with my Aunt

I had a new year of experiences in my career, school nurse at a High school of 2100 teens. I absolutely love going to work everyday, this has been a great experience. I did 2 years of school nursing back in the 90's. I am happy to be going back in the fall. Right now I am on summer vacation!

Doug went to Arizona to help my parents pack and drive them back to Minnesota from there winter in AZ. Its nice having them back, I miss them when they are gone, but so happy they are able to do this.

Mom and Dad
