Our new family member

Meet Lexie.... she is an almost 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier... and a sweetheart.... the kids just love her! We adopted her through a rescue here in SLC...www.Caws.org.  She was in the pound (due to be put down) until CAWS rescued her.  Her foster family was great to her... her foster dad is even a dog trainer... so needless to say she is very well behaved, and has a lot of energy! (not a barker either)   I am hoping this will motivate my family more to be outside walking not just for her but for them as well.  I know I am going to take advantage of it!!  Zoe and I walk her in the afternoons for about 30-45 mins with a stop at the park...Oh sorry both parks really.. there are 2 on our street... and on our walk route...  Tyler got up this morning and went on a run with her... not sure how far... but he said is was energizing!  YEAH!!  And I made Rex go last night with Lexie and Tyler for an evening walk.  Here is a few of Zoe and Lexie at the park...

What I'm working on

Here are a few thing I have been working on... the top is a spring mini book that I just started... and the other two is a mini book that I am making for my dear friend Nanci...on her weekend to Lady Gaga in L.A.

I will be back with more picture of the spring mini and hopefully a layout or two...

Went to Scrapbook expo yesterday with my friend Charity... got some cool stuff!  Can't wait to use it...

a new layout

weekend layout done....

 

 

 

This is a layout I did over the weekend of Zoe... this was her first day of Kindergarten, we walked home together.... and she insisted on taking these branches home... she wanted me to carry them....ah...no... I told her if she wanted them, she had to get them home... so she dragged them all home... (and yes I am glad she did, we used them in October for our Halloween decor.)

I just thought her dragging these home was just so cute.... glad a I got pictures!

Other then scrapping

Ok... so other then scrapping, I have been checking out some cute blogs...blogs that are not scrappy at all!  They are women who put together the cutest outfits and post them on their blogs.  Since I am in such need of a style revamp... I am just sucking all these lovely blogs up...
I am not as brave as them to take my picture and post my outfits yet... but lets just say it has inspired me to go through my closet and look at it differently!  In fact this past year I have even found a new love in thrifting... I even got the cutest sweaters and skirt last night....and I am trying to put together outfits for under $40.00 per outfit... usually its less then that though...and yes there is even a blog where she posts her thrifty finds and a picture of her wearing them... go here to Wrinkle Dollar and check he out.  Wish I could go shop with her!
Another blog I have been visiting daily is:
Kendieverday.blogspot.com - her blog started this whole thing...
And here is a list where you can check out loads for blogs...
Have Fun with it!!!  I know I am....
Are you willing to take the 30/30 Challenge???
