Cardboard Boat Races

I had fun making the boat. The boys were so happy that their 2nd boat didn't sink super fast like their first boat. But then they were board and rooting for it to sink so they could go eat. Made it to the round of 6.

Had a nice time at the Wellsville Library with Eliza. Took a few Instagram photos of the crafting fun.

Patterned papers are MME Lost and Found and Lost and Found Two. Love the little banners that came with my MME Nutmeg so I tried to recreate them here... I like the pre-mades better:)

Tiny alphas are cosmo cricket. Cardstock is Coredinations.

Also played with the typewriter and the Gazelle. I feel a little too trendy today with the banner, peek a boo, blackout title and the manual typewriter journaling. LOL

All the paper is "Life of the Party" an older, still wonderful line from BG.

Andrew playing soccer this fall. First use of the ancient manual typewriter I just acquired. Woot, woot. So fun.

I've been making Duggar style soap again. Decided to get the recipe into the book.

The sticker, banner garland, 3 out of 4 of the Washis and the patterned paper are all My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Nutmeg.  No clue who made the 4th washi, the title is Lily Bee designs.

Bigger than

BG notes, the background papers are Milk and Kettle from Urban Prairie, the rest is Oxford.

About the moment in time... it was hot and the kids had been walking for a while.  There was a fountain meant to be played in on the path and the children were getting their feet and legs wet.  They were loving the fountain.  The awesome monuments in the background were just there.
