Project Love Me Week 2: Past Dreams

2011-01-08T16:02:00.000-07:00

This week's prompt for Project Love, Me was to create a LO about a dream from your past. I picked my childhood dream to be an astronaut.

Created with: Good Life Templates from The Daily Digi and Make a Change by Simply Scraps by Laura Banasiak.

Journaling Reads:
As a child my greatest dream was to be a scientist/astronaut who would go to space and do experiments on the space shuttle. Through out the years, this dream took many different forms. For a while it meant I wanted nothing more than to attend the United States Air Force Academy. In the fifth grade, it took shape as I rean the planetarium shos in our schools library. In 8th grade, this dream meant applying for an opportunity to attend the United States Space camp in Huntsville, Alabama which I won by writting an essay. It meant I had to miss the much anticipated 8th grade graduation dance, but it was well worth it to see space memorablia and train like real astronauts. In high school, my drive towards space dimmed some as I fell in love with pure science--doing chemistry and participating in science fairs soon replaced these childless dreams. As a sophomore in high school, I once again won a trip to Space Camp, this time courtesy of the 4H program. Upon my return, my love of science continued, but my dreams of weightlessness, space, and being an astronaut were burried into the fairytales of childhood. My love of science, however, remained a driving force. I used science fair to earn enough scholarships to attend the Colorado School of Mines with no cost to my parents. I continued my chemistry research on how heavy metals affected Colorado’s precious water supply. But I soon realized, the lab was not big enough to hold my soul. I soon decided to become a teacher & share my love of science. Little did I know this would bring me full circle. In the fall of 2010, I was selected to participate in the Northrup Grumman Weightless Flights of Discovery program. I was able to finally experience the weightlessness I had craved as a child. I was joyous and a dream had come true.

Back to School--Seriously where did September go?

School is in full swing at our house which means one thing--busy busy busy.

Not much time to write tonight, but here is a layout I did with Life's Everyday Moments Basic School: Elementary by Blue Maige and Polka Dot Chicks over at Enchanted Studio Scraps.

Where has July gone?

2010-07-10T22:44:00.001-06:00

Wow...how did it get to be the middle of July already? We've been busy. We spent 6 days in New York for a "kidless" vacation and a wedding. Then it was home and a sick kiddo and way too much house work. Where does the time go? 3 weeks and it is back to work! Wow!

Here are a couple of pages with SPARKLER a new portion of the Life's Everyday Moments Collection by Blue Maige and Polka Dot Chicks at ESS.

Birthday Blast and a new freebie for you

2010-06-27T21:22:00.001-06:00

The last week has been all about getting ready for Blake's 6th birthday. Well, it turned out to be a crazy adventure but it is over and he had a blast. We were supposed to have a party at a jumpy-castle place, but a power outage forced us to the park. The kids had fun playing and then we had cake and gifts. We wrapped up the party with a paddle boat ride in the lake. It was a blast. Then it was home for a BBQ with the grandparents.

Speaking of birthdays, here is a great kit by Blue Maige Designs and the Polka Dot Chicks over at ESS. It is part of their Life's Everyday Moments collection.

This kit is great for both girls and boys. Here is a LO of Jaxon's first birthday that I did with the kit:

Here is also a "non" birthday page I made with this kit. I also used the basic cardstock and arrow buttons that are part of the Life's Everyday Moments Collection.

I have turned the second page into a freebie Quick Page just for you.

Have a great week!

Sorry for the mishap--I just got a new zip program and obviously haven't learned to use it correctly yet.

New Look, New Team, and New Freebie for You!

2010-06-12T20:05:00.003-06:00

After what seems like FOREVER, I finally have had time to redesign my blog and get it "pretty" enough to start posting. He He He! I fell in love with the free blogware over at Shabbyblogs.com--check it out!

I just started a new CT--the Blue Chicks. It is a combined team for Blue Maige/Polka Dot Chicks both over at Enchanted Studio Scraps. They are doing a joint project called "Life's Everyday Moments" that has wonderful basics and fun kits to share those stories that make up real life.

This week I worked with these two great kits:

Baby Boy Kit

Basic Card Stock

I used these kits to create these two fun LO's:

Puppy Love

Counting Sheep

As a gift to you, here is a quick page from this kit--the counting sheep LO. **Download Link has expired**
