Well, Labor Day weekend has come & gone. Ours was just a typical weekend, but we did manage to take a trip to the zoo on Monday. And while the weather that day was phenomenal... one word sums up the day. CROWDED. We kinda knew it wouldn't be a great idea to go on a holiday, but seriously. I think everyone in St Louis was there. It took us almost an hour just to park.
And I may have had a minor panic attack when I saw a lady carrying around a snake in the children's zoo. So, I yelled to Bob that I was leaving the building & would meet them outside. He & Bryn came out a few minutes later & asked why I left so fast.
He said, "Was it because it stunk in there?"
LOL... yeah, wasn't so fond of that either, but ummm, no.
Told them about the snake, so they ran back in because Bryn wanted to pet it.
She's not my daughter.
I believe Bob took a photo of it with his iPhone, but I have no desire to see it thank-you-very-much.
Moving on to happier thoughts...
I created a new page about my niece's recent birthday. Just a mix here of Amy Tangerine paper + some Doodlebug Designs embellishments I received in a package of goodies from Scrapbook Trends Magazine when they published one of my pages, plus a few other random things....
I was out of yellow S stickers, so I pieced mine together & added a flower on top to disguise the handiwork...
And a special thank you to my friend, Erin, who emailed me about today's Scrapbook Steal because she thought it was something I might like. And I guess I did, because I bought it. Because I really do need more scrapbooking stuff...
I do loving having friends that are enablers... LOL! I hope you bought it, too, Erin! You KNOW you need more stuff, too!
Have a great day, everyone!
Great... now I have another site to keep track of... I've been addicted to scrapzoom.com since they launched. At least I'm not spending too much on things I don't need ;)
