June DTW and party info!

Hi everyone! It's nearly the end of May so I have your June Desktop Wallpaper for you! For this month I have made two versions. Pretty much the only difference between them is that one uses yellow and the other uses pink (hit the Creative Dream Team Blog to grab the pink one) as accents. Here is the yellow one, starring my boys fishing with Papa last summer (my version only). You can grab it here, but don't run off just yet!

I have some news you won't want to miss.On Monday June 1st we are having a PARTY at Creative Dreams. Anne has a new kit coming out and we want to celebrate (otherwise known as an excuse to have a party). Hop on over there for chats and noon and 9pm central time. There will be lots of fun and goodies to be had! We will be waiting to see you on Monday!

Road Trip

Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. We went and stayed a few days at the family cottage on Indian Lake. It was our first road trip with Dozer. I am very pleased to be able to say that he did extremely well. He got sick twice on the way there (I am thinking that maybe he was upset thinking that he was headed back to Angels for Animals) but not at all on the way home. The boys spent half of the trip home asleep and draped over top of him. He was very good natured about it, and just sat there quietly. In fact the LO here to the right is from the trip where they boys used him as a pillow.

He also did really well while we were there. He got along well with the other dogs, didn't bark too much (pretty much only when people went walking by and when a new dog showed up) and then for only a minute or two. He didn't whine and was great at night. We were very proud of him.

Well, I still have a good bit to catch up on here so I'm gonna dash. Have a good day everyone!

Quick note

Don't mind my changes the next week or two to my blog template. I am playing around and learning how to do this stuff. And oh yeah, I used the soon to be released kit here on the blog, so there are a couple more hints for ya!

Also a big thank you to Amanda at kevin & amanda for her wonderful tutorial on changing fonts! Be sure to hop over there and check it out. Scroll down and click on tutorials on the right side.

Nuts!

As in my family. Full of them. I made this new layout with the intent of it being a fun and quirky family tree. When I saw the new Pressed Petals kit this is what came to mind. I had to pick up a few pieces elsewhere. Credits: Clothesline Breeze - Pressed petals designs, tree trunk - simplicity - A Work in Progress (Vicki Parker), Word art - Elegant Word Art, font used - Angelina. All of the photos were taken last summer. Yes, I realize that Kate's and my hubby's are missing, I didn't have ANY pictures of either of them. I will work harder next time to get at least one. I think I may make other versions of it during different seasons.

teaser with freebie

Ok, so I have been a really bad blogger the last couple of months. I'm not sure that there really is an excuse, but I do promise to try and do better. Anne at Creative Dreams has a new kit coming out soon so that means that I have a teaser or two for you. I'll give you one today and another in a post soon.

I also thought I would share the word art that I made for this layout. You can get it here.
