Fall Hiking Spree

This is the 50th year the local MetroParks here has done the Fall Hiking Spree! Bob & I are participating this year. You need to hike eight of the selected trails to earn  your hiking staff and shield. We began our journey this week by hiking the Oxbow Trail  in the Cascade Valley Park. You have to finish all eight that you choose to do by November 30.

Instant Moments

is what you get when you want to photograph a rainbow! I caught this one the other night just at sunset. Strange thing was he had not rained since the night before. There must have been moisture in the atmosphere to be able to make this beauty!

Friends

Today they are having a chalk chat over at Designer Digitals and I was inspired to finally try a chalkboard layout. This was inspired by a page by Amy Mallory. You can find it here. Here’s mine:

Katie’s throwdown

over at Designer Digital last evening was a lot of fun. She gave us ingredients that had to be included on your layout and the layout has to be posted by 9AM this morning.  Here’s mine:Natural Wonder-web

The ingredients were the bg paper, tag, star, arrow and the triangles. Thanks for looking!

Flight 93 National Memorial

We visited the memorial in August and it is quite an experience. They have done a lot since I was there not long after the attack. There was only a shed and chain link fence there then. All this work has been done with private donations-no tax money is used to build the memorial.

Getting to Know Maggie

Here’s our latest layout for our class Making Memories with Children. MY Room

The journaling by Maggie says: “I like my room. My favorite part of my room is my sign. It says Girls Only-no boys aloud It is funny I make my brother follow it”.

The Real Dawg Pound

When you are a Cleveland Browns fan you are one of the Dawgs. If you attend a game the prize seats are in the Dawg Pound!

Back to School

The beginning of the school year brings so much excitement to the kids this time of year. Did they get the teacher they wanted? Are there friends all in their class? I registered for a class to take with my grandchildren  called “Making Memories with Children” with Jana Morton and her girls Mia & Ellie over at Creative Passions Classes.  She has made up templates for us to use with inserts of art work and journaling included by the children.   It will make an album about the child by the time we are done in four weeks. Here are my first two layouts. I let Maggie pick some of the colors and items we used on these pages. Back to schoo-lweb
