Scraplift-November

Scraplift: Ali Edwards from page 91 of Creating Keepsakes. I happened to have the divided 12x12 protector because it was on the supply list for her Yesterday an Today class. I already had the "August" month brush and the "today" journaling card from Ali Edwards for designerdigitals.com.

I was sort of a scrapbooking maniac Friday night and Saturday. It was quiet and I actually got the computer without anyone else asking me to use it. It was very relaxing and fun.

The journaling is written in list form and reads:

1. A family tradition. Every year we play golf for Jakey's birthday. Every year Butch wins. Every single year. 2. This year I joined a league at work. I played several times (maybe 6) over the course of the summer. He still kicked my ass. But my putts were better this year :) 3. We have fun anyway. 4. Every year our photos get better. 5. I LOVE spending time with my brother and sister. 6. I love celebrating Jake's birthday every year. 7. Sometimes we let people play through. 8. I hate the dog leg on the 8th hole. 9. I love playing for 9 holes. 18 holes....not so much. 10. Every year we get sunburned. 11. We started driving together a couple of years ago. 12. We all play a pretty close game...except for Butch...who always wins. 13. I can't think of any other way that I would like to spend a Saturday in August!

This page was super easy to put together. I used photos that were sitting on my kitchen table that I had gotten from Mom, and only printed out one other photo. Have a great day-Happy Scrapping!

Golf Day!

Every year we golf with my brother and his wife for Jakey's Birthday!
I love the view of the Illinois River from the first tee. I see that Jake wore his "Victory" t-shirt to help him play better...We messed around taking photos for about 20 minutes before we finally teed off.

This year-Sari joined us too! It was great having her with us this year. She didn't make it last year. We were sad :(

My husband could go for 10 years without golfing and I could practice everyday and he would STILL beat me.

We were so glad you could golf with us this year, Sarah! It was great seeing you and just hanging out as a family.

I love you even though you are a better golfer, honey.

This was a great day to go golfing. It was hot, but not too hot, and hardly anyone was out on the course. We let one couple play through, but other than that, no one was behind us until we got to the 8th hole. It was great times golfing this year. I had so much fun seeing Jake and Patricia and Sarah. And I DID have a pitching wedge, honey. HA! See how it helped me....
