Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center
Nature at its finest
Dogwood Canyon is a wild, special, rich-in-diversity place, where plants, animals and people all sustain each other for a healthy future. It includes a 6,000 square foot Audubon Center and Dogwood Canyon Trails with 200 plus acres of pristine forest. The Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center opened in 2011.
Located 16 miles southwest of downtown Dallas, Dogwood Canyon is part of the White Rock Escarpment. The center is within a 50-minute drive of four million people and 15 minutes from 24 schools.
The Canyon features a visitor center, two canyon trails, academic programs, conservation workshops and facility rental where guests are surrounded by nature. If you just want to hang out or chill at the canyon with family and friends, The Wood offers a shady retreat with picnic tables and an unstructured children's nature play area.
The West Rim Trail offers scenic overlooks across Joe Pool Lake all the way to Cowboy Stadium, 15 miles to the northwest, in Arlington. Also available is an ADA accessible trail on the canyon floor. Both trails total approximately 2 miles and a total of 4 miles of trails are in development at Dogwood Canyon.
On April 23, 2008, John Flicker, former president of the National Audubon Society, led the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center. The center was part of Flicker's vision to connect people with nature and its wildlife in urban areas such as Dallas, Los Angeles and New York.
To be able to conserve over 200 acres of important wildlife habitat in a major metropolitan area is incredible, said Flicker.
Dogwood Canyon will reveal a world many people in the area rarely see, and provide an unrivaled opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience, understand, and grow to care for the natural world.
The groundbreaking ceremony included planting a dogwood tree by local school children to celebrate the conservation of the canyon and the science education programs that serve 5,000 students at the center each year.
The $7.4 million project was the result of a partnership between the City of Cedar Hill and Audubon Dallas local chapter. Audubon Dallas, in cooperation with Audubon Texas and National Audubon Society, developed the sanctuary. The center's building is named the C. E. Doolin Education and Visitors Center for Frito-Lay, Inc., co-founder, C. E. Doolin.
Dogwood Canyon derives its name from the flowering dogwoods that are found on the site. The flowering dogwood is common to the piney woods and post oak belts of Texas, but is generally absent from shallow clay soils of the limestone regions. Plants and animals from East, West and Central Texas converge here at the outer limits of their ranges, making Dogwood Canyon home to a unique combination of flora and fauna. Most importantly, the canyon supports mature Ashe Juniper trees, the last known nesting habitat of the federally-endangered Golden-cheeked Warblers and the Black-chinned Hummingbirds (both songbirds).
Dogwood Canyon also provides outstanding habitat for migrating and nesting birds. Orioles, tanagers, warblers, hummingbirds and others feed on the rich nourishment provided by its lush vegetation. White-eyed, Red-eyed and Warbling Vireos, Red-bellied and Downy Woodpeckers, Chuck Will's Widows and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, sing their songs seemingly from every tree.

The Walton-Verona School District offers a comprehensive program for gifted and talented students at both the elementary and secondary levels.
According to 704 KAR 3:285, state regulations for gifted and talented programs, a gifted and/or talented child is one who is identified as possessing demonstrated or potential ability to perform at an exceptionally high level in one or more of the following areas-
This administrative regulation establishes the requirements for programs for gifted and talented students' primary – grade 12. The Primary Talent Pool is for highly capable students currently enrolled in the primary grades. Once students are selected for the PTP, they are in PTP until the end of their third grade year. Service options are evaluated annually based on student progress data and classroom performance. Service may include pull-out, cluster grouping and/or differentiation of classroom lessons and assignments to provide enrichment and differentiated opportunities (on an as-needed basis) to the selected students
Beginning in 4th grade, students may be formally identified as gifted in one or more of the five areas of giftedness. Once students are formally identified they are identified until the end of their 12th grade year. The screening process begins at the end of third grade, with formal identification and placement taking place beginning in fourth grade.
Students who qualify for Gifted Educational services will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of services offered by the Gifted and Talented Department at Walton-Verona Independent Schools.

Extended School Services (ESS)
Walton-Verona District Schools participate in the state sponsored Extended School Services Program. This is a great opportunity for students to receive the additional assistance they need to be successful in the classroom. Whether it is small group or 1 to 1 instruction, children have greatly benefited from this program since its beginnings.
The Extended School Services (ESS) program is a proactive program designed to assist individual students who are having difficulty in one or more content areas. ESS funds are allocated for the purpose of operating a program for students having short- or long- term academic difficulties. ESS programs offer extra instructional time outside regular school hours and may take a variety of formats including before, during or after school programs, evening sessions, and/ or summer programs with bus service available. There is close collaboration between the regular day program and the ESS program to best meet the student's needs. ESS programs for each teacher offer a wide array of curricular programs and instructional formats.

Exceptional Children
The Walton-Verona Independent School District offers Special Education services for students with identified disabilities in grades P-12.
Section 504
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is a civil right act prohibiting discrimination based on disability. It was enacted to eliminate barriers that exclude persons with disabilities. Section 504 applies to all agencies that receive federal funds, including public schools, federal agencies, and places of public accommodation. In the Walton-Verona School System, all staff and administrators have the responsibility of insuring that all students with disabilities are identified, evaluated and provided with needed accommodations and services, resulting in a free appropriate public education (FAPE). Section 504 is enforced by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights.
Public school districts have the duty to provide a free appropriate public education to all qualified disabled students. A FAPE must include an education designed to provide educational benefit despite the child's disability; it must be at no cost to the parent; and it must be provided in an environment that affords the greatest exposure to non-disabled peers.

They act along with school counselors as advocates for student's well-being, as well as, valuable resources for their educational and personal advancement. They help students in processing issued such as bullying, disabilities, low self-esteem, poor academic performance, problems with authority, and problems at home. These functions help parents, teachers and school work together for the benefit of the student. For more information regarding this service, please contact-

Kind of an amazing collaboration – a core group that features Tony Allen, Damon Albarn, and Flea – with guest appearances by Erykah Badu, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Fatoumata Diawara, M.anifest, Cheick Tidiane Seck, and Thundercat! The sound of the set is surprisingly wonderful – hardly a cloying collection of common elements in the trio's music – and instead a rich new territory that's almost a 21st Century re-invention of older Afro Funk modes! Allen's drumming is razor-sharp, and gives the record an acoustic energy that's really excellent – and Flea's basswork is astounding too – rough, rootsy, and really dynamic – in ways that have us unexpectedly complimenting him for his talents. Titles include "Lol", "Night Watch", "Forward Sweep", "Extinguished", "Rotary Connection", "Worries", "There", "Check Out", "Benko", and "The Unfadable". © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Barboza scored 11 kills on 35 swings – including four back-row kills on eight swings – to go with a block for 12 points.

In the start of its best-of-five league quarterfinal playoff round against TJ Sokol Sternberk, Prostejov has won the first two contests without much of a threat. Prostejov captured the first match on April 2 with a 25-9, 25-16, 25-17 victory.

Avoiding footwear fumbles when exercising or playing sports
(BPT) - No one disputes that exercise provides a host of health benefits, from helping control weight to improving cardiovascular functions. But exercising in the wrong footwear can cause more harm than good, especially since foot health is integral to overall well-being.
"To get the most out of your workout or from playing a favorite sport, it's imperative to choose the right footwear for the type of exercise you'll engage in," says Dr. Matthew Garoufalis, a podiatrist and president of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). "Improper footwear can lead to irritation and injury."
Foot or ankle sprains and fractures are the most common types of injuries related to exercise and footwear. The type of exercise or sport you prefer can influence the type of injury you could experience. In general for example, foot and ankle sprains and fractures are more common among football players, while basketball players may suffer more ankle sprains and runners experience stress fractures to feet or ankles.
APMA offers some guidance on how to avoid foot injury while exercising:
* Always warm up before exercise. Just as you stretch to warm up leg and arm muscles, your feet need to warm up gradually too.
* If you experience foot pain while exercising or engaging in physical activity, stop immediately. Foot pain is not normal and you shouldn't feel any when you exercise. If pain persists even after you stop your workout, see a podiatrist.
* Always wear supportive shoes that are appropriate for the type of physical activity you're engaging in.
Choosing the right footwear can help ensure you minimize the risk of injury and enjoy a more productive and comfortable workout. When choosing workout or sports footwear, keep these pointers in mind:
* Choose a running shoe based on your foot type: low/flat arch, normal arch or high arch. You can find a graphic of what each foot type looks like on the APMA website. If you have a low or no arch, you need a supportive shoe designed for stability and motion-control. Normal arched feet require a shoe with a balance of stability and cushioning to help absorb shock when your feet meet the ground. For people with high arches, a cushioned running shoe with a softer midsole and more flexibility compensates for the poor natural shock absorption of the higher arch.
* Also take into account the kind of activity you'll do. Runners need more arch support and cushioning to absorb impact. Basketball players require extra ankle support to prevent injury from side-to-side movement - which is why basketball shoes come up over the ankles.
* Don't go it alone when you're shopping for a workout or sports shoe. Go to a store that specializes in athletic footwear and ask to be professionally fitted before you buy. Shoes should fit comfortably as soon as you try them on; never assume you'll "break in" an uncomfortable athletic shoe. Shop toward the end of the day, when feet are at their largest due to normal daily swelling.
* Whatever your exercise or sport of choice, your athletic shoes should offer plenty of support in the front and back.
Finally, when athletic shoes begin to show signs of wearing out, it's time to replace them. Examine the tread, especially around mid-sole. Generally, you should replace athletic shoes every year, and running shoes every 300 to 400 miles.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

The debate over the nation's gun laws has escalated since the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre that left 26 children dead. Now, former congresswoman Gabby Giffords – who was shot in the head in Arizona – is launching a new effort to curb gun violence. But many Americans remain passionate about the Second Amendment. NBC's Ron Mott reports.
A national initiative aimed at curbing gun violence was launched by former US. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mark Kelly, on Tuesday -- the second anniversary of the shooting that killed six people and left her critically injured.
A new campaign website, Americans For Responsible Solutions, promised to "launch a national dialogue and raise funds to counter influence of the gun lobby."
The couple last week visited Newtown, Conn., where a gunman opened fire in an elementary school, killing 20 children and six adults in December. They also met with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a gun control advocate.
"In response to a horrific series of shootings that has sown terror in our communities, victimized tens of thousands of Americans, and left one of its own bleeding and near death in a Tucson parking lot, Congress has done something quite extraordinary - nothing at all," the pair wrote in an editorial published Tuesday on their site and in USA Today.
Conn. politician apologizes after saying Giffords should 'stay out of my towns'
"Achieving reforms to reduce gun violence and prevent mass shootings will mean matching gun lobbyists in their reach and resources," they wrote in the column.
"This country is known for using its determination and ingenuity to solve problems, big and small. Wise policy has conquered disease, protected us from dangerous products and substances, and made transportation safer. But when it comes to protecting our communities from gun violence, we're not even trying -- and for the worst of reasons."
Gun control advocates zero in on new tactic
In an interview with ABC News, the couple said the visit to Newtown brought back a lot of memories of their own ordeal two years ago.
"And you hope that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. But you know what? It does happen again," Kelly said.
Officials marked the two-year anniversary of Giffords's brush with death in Tucson on Tuesday. The city rang bells at 10:11 am local time, when Jared Loughner went on the shooting spree that killed 6 people and left 13 more injured, including the congresswoman.
Former Giffords intern Daniel Hernandez, who applied First Aid to his downed boss in 2011, told NBC affiliate KVOA of Tucson that he is sick of gun violence. "There's no excuse for standing back and saying we're not going to do anything this time," Hernandez said. "It's been far too long, there have been far too many deaths."
Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said that she remains open to new state restrictions on guns, according to the Associated Press. Brewer has vetoed two gun bills in recent years that would have expanded the right to carry firearms in public.
"It will be something that I'm sure will be addressed in the Legislature and my ears are all open, and I'm certainly anxious if there is a solution that we get it done," Brewer said.
Kelly and Giffords said they are both gun owners and strongly support the Second Amendment, but they acknowledge the need to prevent guns from ending up in the "wrong hands."
The couple hope to work with politicians to take gun lobbyists head-on and engage the country in a discussion about preventing gun violence.
They also hope to establish a requirement for a comprehensive background check for the private sale of guns, and address the issue of the treatment of mentally ill people in the United States. Another issue they hope to tackle is that of high-capacity magazines.
"An extended magazine is used to kill people," Kelly, a veteran of Desert Stom, told ABC, "lots of people."

Located in Forest Grove, Oregon, Bull Run Cider produces fermented apple beverages commonly known as hard cider. Our ciders include our flagship Powerhouse Dry, Gravenstein Single Varietal, Bramble Berry Dry, Creekside Cranberry Perry and Pear Ice Wine. We strive to develop interesting and great tasting hard cider and perry, experimenting with new fruit, techniques and processes each and every year.
We strive to make the best cider by using the highest quality ingredients. All of the fruit we use in our hard ciders and perries is grown within 100 miles of our cidery, much of it we harvest ourselves. We do not use any artificial flavors or sweeteners in our ciders.
We value sustainability, which includes being responsible and active in our community.
Mission statement:
The mission of Bull Run Cider LLC is to revive an early American tradition of making, sharing and enjoying hard cider.
History of Cider in America:
In colonial America, cider, as it was then called was the most common beverage. This was largely due to the poor quality and contaminated water available at the time. In addition, pressing and fermenting fresh apple juice was the easiest way to preserve the harvest for the long cold winters. European colonists planted apple trees in New England as early as 1629.
In the early 1800's the U.S. Government introduced the Homestead Act, which gave 160 acres of undeveloped land west of the Mississippi to any applicant with one of the stipulations being that an orchard be planted. John Chapman, more commonly known as Johnny Appleseed, saw the opportunity and began planting apple orchards ahead of the settler movement. However it wasn't until the mid 1800's that American farmers began selecting apple varieties specifically for cider.
Several factors contributed to the decline of cider in America. First, the late 1800's brought about the Industrial Revolution when people began moving to urban centers and abandoning many apple orchards. At the time, unfiltered or unpasteurized cider did not travel well from farms to population centers. Beer gradually replaced cider in the American diet as European immigrants took advantage of inexpensive grain from the Midwest.
The temperance movement was another factor that greatly reduced cider production and consumption in the United States. Many farmers who were sympathetic to the cause took axes to their apple trees and swore off alcoholic beverages of any kind. Others started pasteurizing their pressed juice and marketing it as inoffensive apple juice. Since it can take upwards of 10 years for an apple tree to produce any fruit from seed, cider production did not rebound after Prohibition.
We are now seeing that cider consumption and production is popular once again. It is one of the fastest growing segments of the liquor industry and we hope that it will follow the path paved in the 1990s by the microbrew revolution as small cideries are establishing strong local followings in the Pacific Northwest.
Why Bull Run?
As many Portlanders already know the Bull Run watershed supplies pure, clean and fresh drinking water to the Portland Metro area. The Bull Run watershed was selected as a pristine drinking water source in Portland's early days and continues to be so. We chose the Bull Run name because many of the above ideals truly resonate with us and as such our ciders are made from local, clean, fresh pressed apples.

Hi lovelies! I hope that you all had a fabulous weekend! This weekend was a very special one as we had a fun family event celebration- but more on that in another post. In prepping for the event, my mom and I decided to visit the new blow-out bar in Walnut Creek- BDB. If you've never been to a blow-out bar, basically the premise is this: for a set amount of money (usually around $35) stylists will wash your hair and blow dry/curl/straighten it in a desired style! They have been popping up all over the country and I was excited to give it a try. Side note: This particular blow dry bar was started by two 22 and 23 year-old girls in the bay area… Jeez, do I feel like I'm behind here!
Upon arrival we were greeted with mimosas which are a fantastic first step in my book. We were then were instructed to fill out a card with what we were looking for, and our hair type and texture. Here's the weird thing about my hair: it is very curly and I straighten it every day which works fine but on the odd occasion that I want to curl it with a curling iron- the curl does not stay! Unfortunately, that very thing happened this weekend after my blow-out. But at least it looked like this for a little while…
All in all, it was a great experience at BDB and I will definitely be back. The stylists are able to complete blowouts super quickly and for only $35, it would be fun to do before a night out. My only suggestion would be to really know what you want going in to your appointment as they don't have a hair menu as some other blow dry bars do and it can be difficult to describe your vision to your stylist without images.
And on a completely unrelated note, last night I made dinner using a Pinterest find. I've mentioned before that I usually cook only vegetarian foods. You see, my lovely best friend scared me in college because she never trusted the chicken from restaurants, fearing it was undercooked. As it turns out, this rubbed off on me when it came to cooking meat and I was always too nervous to give it a try. But last night that all changed. Finding chicken breast in the fridge, I knew it was time to give it a go. The other day I saw a recipe on Pinterest claiming to be "The World's Best Chicken" which I thought boded well for my first chicken cooking attempt. The ingredients are super simple (dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt & pepper and red wine vinegar, though I used white since it was what I had on hand.)
After pouring the mixture over the chicken breasts, I put it in the oven and got to work on the rest of dinner. To avoid my usual uncooked fear, I decided to use a meat thermometer, which might be my new favorite tool. For once, I was able to see clearly when it got to 165 degrees, without even having to prematurely cut into it. When it came out, it looked a little like this…
I think it's because I used whole grain dijon mustard, but my chicken definitely didn't look like Rachel's finished product. But despite that fact, I thought the chicken was delicious. It was super quick and easy to make and the chicken was moist and flavorful. It does taste sweet with a fairly strong mustard flavor though, so it might not be for everyone. I'll definitely make it again and it's a great recipe to have on hand. I wouldn't say it was the world's best (that award goes to the amazing chicken marsala from Carmines in NYC) but it was a great dinner and the perfect way to end a fun weekend.
-Have you been to a blow-dry bar?
-If you started your own business, what would it be?
-Do you make any Pinterest recipes?

Despite having acquired a number of bracelets, watchbands, and other pieces of wrist-ular ephemera over the last few years, I never moved far past my "NATO and those beads I got at Capsule that one time" phase. Nothing much behind it; just never found anything that stuck. Well, luckily enough, round 2 of the Sartorial et Al. worked out pretty well for me. Shawn from Form Function Form hooked me up with a couple of expertly executed, hand crafted pieces that I can safely say I'll keep in rotation for a good long while.
First up, the bow shackle bracelet. Mine is made from Horween's natural Essex veggie tanned leather, and finished off with royal blue cord, but you can also go for natural Chromexcel, plus a ton of other cord colors. As for the closure, well, that one's pretty self-explanatory. (It's a bow shackle.) It's drawn its fair share of comments in the last few weeks—with good reason.
And part two? A shell cordovan watchband. "Oh, but that's been done before," you declare. Well, not exactly. Cut exactly to size and finished with a one-hole button stud closure, it's a refreshingly understated take on the style. It's also fucking awesome. Seriously. I want a backup, just in case some wristwear-obsessed criminal manages to abscond with it at some undetermined point in the future. Or, you know, just to have another color option (the current one's natural).
Take a leap over to the site to see Form Function Form's other styles, and hit up A Headlong Dive to check the rest of the coverage by the other guys from the Sartorial et Al. A massive thanks to Jeremiah for putting this all together, and to Shawn for supplying such fine product to work with.

Commerce Department issues wish list for board members who will guide a national broadband framework for first responders.
Federal legislation earlier this year made it a national priority to build a wireless broadband network that will enable true interoperability among first responders and public safety officials across the country. The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, signed by President Obama on Feb. 22, 2012, set aside $7 billion in federal grants to make the network a reality.
The act also established "FirstNet", an independent authority within NTIA, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. NTIA is an agency of the Department of Commerce.
FirstNet issued a "recruitment prospectus" for its 15-member Board of Directors on Tuesday, May 22. The Homeland Security Secretary, U.S. Attorney General and Office of Management and Budget director will all occupy permanent seats as board members.
"We've never been closer to realizing our goal of enabling public safety officers to take full advantage of the benefits of broadband technology," Attorney General Eric Holder is quoted as saying in the report.
The remaining 12 members will be selected by Commerce Secretary John Bryson, based on a number of criteria. Members need expertise in at least one of the following areas: public safety and emergency response, technical broadband and public safety communications knowledge, commercial telecommunications networks and successfully funding telecommunications networks.
At least three members must represent government, and another three must bring direct experience in the public safety field. The prospectus further stipulates that board members should come from all over the country, from both urban and rural areas.
"We are looking for executive-level leaders to pave the path forward for a successful public-private partnership," the prospectus reads.
The FirstNet Board of Directors will be charged with executing a nationwide first responder broadband network, by determining its policies and architecture, issuing bids and overseeing contracts and ensuring its solvency through leveraging current wireless infrastructure. The board is also expected to engage public safety entities at all levels of government, as well as ensure that the network is resilient and protected from potential threats. Many questions remain, such as how and if existing radio systems that have been regionally deployed will be brought into the national network.
The board will receive government executive-level pay for their days of service, and must make financial disclosures to avoid a potential conflict of interest. A typical term will be three years in length, although some of the first set of members' terms will be shorter. Members may serve up to two full terms.
The document indicates the board will be seated by Aug. 20.

This is our first book in what will be a series of books based on our experiences both during the build and after moving full time into our tiny house. It explores the part of tiny houses often overlooked; turning the house into a home. The ebook features guest decorator tips by a few big name tiny house folk and is 48-pages long complete with narrative, color photos, links, etc In the book we discuss everything from the use of natural light to paint selections to furniture placement to accessorizing. It also touches on the psychological and physiological effects of color in a home. The best part is, it is only $4.95
Is designing and decorating a tiny house different from a traditional house?
Designing and decorating a tiny house is not unlike designing and decorating a traditional home….if the traditional home is a small space. The difference lies in the size of the space. You can't expect the same furniture pieces, pieces of art, and even color selections to project the same in 2,000 sq.ft. as they would in 200 sq.ft.
What do you think is the biggest mistake people make when designing a small space?
Be careful in using the terms designing and decorating synonymously. They are not the same. Design kind of ends when the windows, doors, and walls are in place. Decorating picks up with furniture selection, wall color, storage options, etc. The biggest mistake people make is just that. They typically think that once the house is built the decisions (and budget) are over. But at that point what you have is a structure, not a home.

I don't remember where I found this recipe but it is very easy and tasty and you can control the spice. I've used it on chicken, beef and pork and all have turned out tasty.
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs (or chuck roast, or pork loin)
1/2 to 3/4 cup of your favorite tomato based salsa
1-2 Tablespoons of chopped canned chipotle chilies in adobo (this you can add more or less according to your taste) I usually use one chili with some of the sauce and it is a nice mild flavor
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 (or more) gloves of garlic minced.
Combine all the above. Coat your meat of choice and place In slow cooker.
Hi setting for about 4 hours and 8 hours low or until done.
I generally start out on high then turn to low just to get the meat hot quicker.
The original recipe called for chicken thighs and to shred them and serve as tacos. I put then in wraps with various toppings. The beef I went ahead and made a stew out of and the pork sliced and served with rice and veggie.

Here Goes!
Getting to know Shanna Vineyard.....
Hey ya'll.... I guess I get to be the lucky first one up to bat this month. I feel like I've introduced myself lots of times here with Bo Bunny.... but just like their fabulous products.... things are constantly updating and changing right? How about I start with some fun family photos? Scrapbooking, after all, is really about those "favorite pictures" we take and try to preserve for future generations right?
This is me with my good-looking red-headed husband Shane. Yes..... that's right.... it's the Shane and Shanna Show.... ha ha! Remember that cute little TV show on the Disney channel? We have our own little jingle. LOL We were married 4 years ago in December after dating a little over a year in Arizona where we met for the first time. We were one of the thousands of "online dating" success stories after finding each other on a Christian singles website. My husband used to cringe when I would tell people that. But I think he's used to it by now. Shane's daughters, Kacie and Karlie, lived in Mississippi with their Mom, so that's why we moved our family out here. To be close to them. We were very blessed that my girls, Bailee, Macey, and Cassidy, had the Dad and Step-Mom who were good with relocating too. So they live only 10 minutes away and my girls are very close to their Dad which, like I said, is a huge blessing.
It wasn't very long after we were married that we had two little blessings together to complete our large family. In case you haven't been counting, that's 7 kiddos for us. Brody, who is the spitting image of his Daddy just turned 3 years old in April and is the ONLY boy in the bunch. He's a handful most days but I'm so happy to have at least one little man! He starts soccer this month and is so excited he can hardly stand it. Daddy is pretty dang stoked as well! :)
Okay..... rather than making this the longest post ever by going on about each one of my kiddos.... I will just share this photo of the five oldest girls which happens to be one of my recent favorites. From left to right, this is Kacie, Macey, Bailee, Cassidy, and Karlie. We made some fun t-shirts over 4th of July weekend so they had something to wear to the festivities that night. I love their shirts but mostly I love that I got a great photo of them ALL smiling! We all know what an accomplishment that is with so many faces. Hee hee.
Now...... on to some scrappy fun! I'm not very good at describing my style or definining the way I scrapbook to people. I hate putting myself into any one type of category. I tend to try all kinds of things depending on the project I'm working on if that makes sense. But one thing I can say is I love bright, happy colors and I use machine stitching and lots of dimension on my projects. I'm sure I could use a year's worth of pop-dots in just a few months time. HA!
This is a layout I created using one of the newest releases.... WELCOME HOME. I am in love with the color palette of this line and it worked perfectly to scrap this photo of my sister's family. I love layering chipboard like I did with the title here. I'm a HUGE fan of dimension on my pages so I tend to layer or pop-dot EVERYTHING! LOL Also..... if you notice the chipboard flourish coming off the photo on the right... I cut that in half so there was a straight edge along my photo. Don't be afraid to cut into your chipboard and make it fit where you need it. Add some bling or pearls to jazz it up!
This next project was a ton of fun! I found a coupon organizer in the dollar section at Michael's craft store and of course my crafty mind went straight to altering it! I used the new SWEET TOOTH line to cover it and make a special holder for the "Love Coupons" I will create and give my family for Valentine's Day. I know it's a bit early to be thinking about Valentine's.... most of us are just trying to get through the Back-to-School stuff right? But I try and think ahead as far as submitting some of my work for publication goes too. :)
