First day of middle school...

Today's the day we're officially back to the school routine.  I was up early for the 6:30 spin class, bolted out of there 5 minutes early so I could rush back home to pack up Bryn's lunch, do her hair as requested, take some photos of her & then drive her to school because she had a TON of stuff to bring with her today.  Her plan is to ride the bus to school in the morning & have me pick her up from school every afternoon.  We're the last bus stop.  So they go right to school in the morning, but it's almost 45 minutes before she would be home in the afternoon if she rode the bus... and school is literally 2 minutes from our house.  Crazy.

Hard to tell in the photo, but she painted her fingernails like pencils for a school theme today.  She's quite the crafty one.  And also a bit obsessed lately with youtube videos showing different ways to paint your nails.  

So with the rest of the day all to myself, I finished a quick page this morning with some photos from last year that already went straight into the scrapbook.  Didn't even bother with photographing it.  The quality of my photos on the page wasn't that great to begin with, nor was the page anything to write home about, so I consider it a quick page into the book!  Yay me. 

Here's another one I finished over the weekend though.  We had a new Marshalls store open in the past year.  I went there shortly after the grand opening with a friend of mine & only bought a few things... one of which was a Me & My Big Ideas Halloween-themed paper pad for only $6.99.  I know right?  Like I needed more paper... and from Marshalls of all places?!  But, after collecting much dust on my craft table all this time, I finally dragged it out & got this photo from last October on paper. 

I edited my photo using Picmonkey, a free photo editing website, to make my photo black + white, with just her pumpkin in color as a focal point...

Lots of Halloween SRM Stickers, of course, and a couple circle punches (round & scalloped-edge)... 

Already in the middle of another page right now & if I get REALLY crazy, I may just attempt to clean the house a bit.

Or not...
