My Memories Challenge

Here's the page I'm going enter into this week's My Memories challenge.  The challenge was to use any of the kits from A Saxon Creation.  For this page I used the Vintage Rose kit, the picture was taken by a photographer friend of mine back in Maryland.  This was one of the first pictures Don and I had taken of us.

Hanging with the Boys

In honor of my husband's best friend moving today, I decided to make up a page with a couple pictures of them hanging out.  The Man Cave kit that I found on mymemories.com was perfect for it :-)

Aviano, Italy

Last weekend I went down to Aviano, Italy for a class.  This time I was able to do a little exploring.  There's a huge mountain range that I can see from my school building.  I decided follow the road that went up and over the mountain and discovered a cute little ski resort town somewhere near the top.  I also found out that I was either in the Dolomites or very close to them.  Next time I'm hoping to take my husband and see what else we can find up there.

Sometimes Life Takes Over

I know I haven't been posting much lately, but my school term is wrapping up and my Pampered Chef business has really picked up.  I promise after this week I'll be better at posting.  Besides, now that my husband is home again I'll have to start cooking again :-)

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.
