... I'm easy to see I'm with the girls on the dance floor..."
We had a fun weekend... especially on Saturday night at my sister's going-away party. She's moving to Denver next month. Even though she travels A LOT and I don't get to see her regularly, I'm not looking forward to her living in another state again. She lived in Dallas for a few years after college, but moved back here right after Bryn & Sydney were born. So she's been here for almost 11 years now. Everyone keeps telling me it's a new place to visit, but I like visiting with her here thank-you-very-much. I travel enough as it is. I've been to Denver once to ski... over 20 years ago... so I guess I'm looking forward to going back? Really I have no choice though. I'm going. She can't get rid of me that easy!
I have a mess of scrapbooking products all over my craft room floor for an upcoming project I've been working on... which has been making practicing Zumba interesting. I haven't slipped on any paper yet, so all is good so far. So... with these projects in mind, I had been going through all my photos on my laptop and ran across my Mud Run photos from last year. I had been planning to make a mini book, since I already had all the photos printed... over 100 of them. But... I decided to use these photo collages I had made last year for my blog and went with a pretty simple design that allowed for 24 photos + a boat load of journaling. The journaling was pretty much cut + pasted from my blog post last year and is probably easier to read here if you're interested.
My HELLO tag sticker came from the Simple Stories Fabulous collection...
Did Spin class + a little running this morning. Came very close to having to sub an abs class + a Zumba class tonight, but someone else offered at the last minute after I was still getting texted & begged this morning. Thank goodness!! I've never taught an abs class. In fact, I don't think I've ever taken an abs class. I prefer flabby abs. LOL. Bryn has her Zumba class tonight. And yes... I will be checking for shaking body parts if you remember that conversation. Then I'm getting up at the crack of dawn for Spin class tomorrow morning and subbing a Zumba class at 10:45am. If you're local... please come dance with me!
And this weekend is Girls Weekend in Phoenix. So extra work-outs before I leave are definitely in order!
I'm sorry your sis is moving away! I was the one that left my sisters when I came to AZ and I miss being by them so much.
On a happy note, I love how you packed so many photos AND all of that journaling on the layout. I'm going to have to borrow that idea from you!
Have a wonderful trip :)

I know how hard it is to live far away from a sister. Hopefully you will get to see her often.
CUTE layout! Love all the pics and ton-o-journaling.
AZ sounds like a dream right now. What a fun time with friends!

That was a serious chuckle you gave me, as I tried to visualize you slippin on paper while trying to zumba. It's been decided that I can't dance, not even close, I still look like an idiot in Zumba, albeit a jumping and kicking idiot, but still... lol. Your layout always packs full of awesome journaling and actual memories about the event!!! You are the master, mistress, czarina!!!
