02/16/14 - "Connecting"

Good Sunday Evening to you...well it may not be Sunday evening by the time you read this but it is as I write this.

One more day left to my 4-day weekend and then back to work ::BIG SIGH::

Have a fun day planned tomorrow: David, me, and the kids are joining some friends and their kids to shoot rockets at the park.

Our kids are old, 12 & 18, and David realized we had never done that w/ them before!

Oh well...better late than never!

Today we spent time at the hobby store looking for the best one.

I'm crossing my fingers that the experience will be a successful one.

 

 After the hobby store shopping spree and some household chores were taken care of,

David settled down to watch basketball and I got some scrappy time in.

I created this layout.

 

"Connecting"

Journaling: "Xmas 2013

David and Madi playing w/ the gift Santa brought our family."

 

After the hustle and bustle of Christmas died down and it was just the 3 of us at home (Joseph was in Ohio), David and Madi decided to play w/ the "Connect Four" game Santa gave our family.

We had "Connect Four" a long time ago and it disappeared.

Right before Christmas I was talking about how I wish we still had it and David and the kids agreed and I guess Santa heard us because it was under our tree on Christmas morning.

;0)

 

I used a couple of papers from my "Well Played" 6x6 paper pad by Carta Bella.

It's "game" themed and also looked great w/ the Christmas paper.

Love how it ties the 2 themes together!

 

 I also used the following sketch from Stuck?! to help me out:

 

 

I had absolutely no plans to scrap today so I am happy that I was able to do so and to have a layout that makes me smile!

Now if only I could say the same about the mess in my scraproom...yikes!

I guess I know what I will be doing w/ the rest of my day tomorrow!
