Thanksgiving 2007

Even after creating a Thanksgiving template earlier this week, I got caught up in the festivities and neglected to take many photos. I decided to back up and use it to scrap photos from last year instead:


Supplies: Butternut Corn and Grape Jelly papers from the Plumberry Harvest paper pack at Peppermint Creative; my Thanksgiving 8.5x11 template; Jenkins v2.0 and Teen fonts.

PhotoHunt: Metal

This week's PhotoHunt prompt immediately reminded me of an event called Canstruction that I participated in for 4 years (2000 - 2003). It's an annual design competition for architects, engineers and design school students. Groups build sculptures entirely from cans & boxed goods. The sculptures are on display to the public for a period of time before being dismantled and the food donated to the local food bank.

Here's a 2-page scrapbook layout I created several years ago about the 2002 competition. My team built the tug boat in the upper left.


Supplies: cardstock; Making Memories buttons; 2Ps Architect font; invitation.

Random Photo Tag

Janet tagged me yesterday for a little challenge: Go to your pictures folder, select the 4th folder, find the 4th photo and then share on your blog. I have to agree with her - this is harder than it looks! LOL From My Pictures, I quickly hit on the 2004 folder, but inside were only more folders - no photos. So, I again selected the 4th folder (Cats) and again more folders! (Is it possible I over organize my photos?) After selecting the 4th folder for the 3rd time, I finally found photos and here is the 4th photo:


Little Chester taking a nap with Trent on the couch. The first couple of photos were a bit cuter. I imagine by this one he was annoyed with my photo taking interrupting his nap. :D

Sticking with the number 4, I'm going to tag 4 bloggers: Ter, Linda, Tina and Kerrie.

NCSU / UNC game

Yesterday we traveled to Chapel Hill (a whole 30 minute drive) to attend the NCSU / UNC game with Trent's brother & wife. We cheered red. They cheered blue. The temperature was 40 at best, but the shade and wind made it even colder. Regardless the layers of clothes, we all had pink cheeks & noses when the game ended. And we all had good time.

The final field goal kick that sealed the game for NCSU 41-10:
