Fire on the Rhine Page

Last fall my husband and I drove to western Germany to take a dinner cruise on the Rhine River.  It was for a thing called Fire on the Rhine (check out the website here).  The highlight of the evening was an amazing fireworks show over the Rhine River with a musical background.  There were hundreds of boats of all sizes sharing the river for the show.  Plus they had the hills and castles all lit up with flares, it was beautiful!  Unfortunately, we didn't get many shots of the fireworks. 

Meal Planning Board

I know I just made a meal planning page the other day (you can find it here), but I really wanted to make a meal board.  I saw one on pinterest that looked like something I could do with mostly things around the house.  I picked up some ribbon and binder clips.  I already had the cork board and push pins.  I printed out recipe names on cardstock and on the back of them I will write where I can find the recipe.  I pinned the ribbon to the board and threaded the binder clips on them.  I also stuck in a pin between the clips to help the ribbon stay in place.  The cards are color coded for sides, carbs, main dishes and slow cooker recipes.  I also added some cards for eating out or leftovers.  The cup to hold the cards is the bottom of a propel bottle with a tab in the back for me to attach a binder clip.  And of course, no meal board would be complete without a couple take out menus. :-)  I finally put them in some page protectors so I won't have to reprint them.  And here's how it turned out.

Mini Couples Shoot

I love playing photographer, I just don't have much opportunity to shoot people.  Last spring a couple friends of mine and I wandered around town doing a mini couples shoot.  I really liked some of the shots that came out of it.  These are a few of my favorite shots.

Meal Planning Page

I'm constantly on the look out for some way to make meal planning easier.  I usually just do an excel spreadsheet, but I want to have something physical to hang in the kitchen or near the dry erase board where we keep our running grocery list.  I've since several great boards on pinterest that I'd like to make, but I'm limited on what I can get over here.  I created this sheet to hold me over until I can get back to the states.  I'm probably going to get it laminated so that I can reuse it week to week.  I like having it set up so I can make sure that we have some veggies with dinner every night.  My husband like having some sort of carb, so that's on the plan too.  It's here for you to download (I think I did it right).  Hope you like it!

Facebook Banner

I decided to make a picture collage for my facebook banner of some of the traveling I've done.  What do you think?

Modeling Scrapbooked Pages

Once upon a time and in a galaxy far, far away....  well, maybe not in another galaxy,  but it seems like it was forever ago and after being in Germany for over two years the states start feeling like a whole galaxy away sometimes.  Anyways, a few years back I did a little modeling.  I got some really great pictures from the shoots I did, but I've never done anything with them.  Until today.

 

More Planning Pages

I've been playing with a weekly planning page and came up with a couple of different options.  I think I have them set up where you can download them here.  The other pages I've done before are also there for your downloading pleasure.  Hope you like them.
