Gracious! Where has the month gone? And now August is almost half gone. I did start attending local crops in July and again this past Friday. The gals are all awesome! I enjoyed it all very much and everyone too! I appreciate our old group from The Scrapbook Shoppe who continued the crops since the Shoppe closed more than 15 years ago. I have met new croppers I did not know and reacquainted with old croppers from so many years ago. Some I have attended classes with over the years and some have attended my Stampin’ Up!® classes I hold. I look forward to next month’s crop in September.
I have also been busy with Stampin’ Up!® events! The Virtual Album Retreat was a blast. I did really good keeping up the first 2 days with the help of my wonderful husband who is my supporting demonstrator, but the third day, we had to travel out of state to pick up our Grands from Camp Cosby at Alpine, AL and is yet to be completed. Soon, very soon that 12 month, 24 (26 with my beginning and ending index pages) page scrapbook will be 100% completed and I will be able to add another completed 24 pages plus will be adding the beginning and ending index pages of the album for 26 complete pages to add to my scrapbook completion calendar!
We had our 2 youngest Grands during July. We had such fun with Barrett & Alice. We spent a couple of full days at Urban Air with them. We sure have missed them since they went home. Our week was cut short because Alice had to get back to championship gymnastics practice. School has started for them again now as of 4 August 2025. It is an adjustment for them as this is the first year they have attended different schools. Barrett is at Campbell Middle now and Alice has this year and next at Nickajack. They have such busy schedules! Amazing!
First day of school photos 4 August 2025
They are really growing up on us! They stay so busy with soccer, championship gymnastics and Scouts, not to mention how busy they are with their friends.
Our other Granddaughter Doll started school today. I haven’t yet seen first day photos of her nor have I heard back from her as to how her day went. She is 17. Do you remember how teenagers used to be?
Our Grandson Jayce will be 21 this coming Friday, 15 August 2025! Happy 21st Birthday Jayce!
