Shop Till You Drop

Let me start today by saying that my thoughts and prayers are with all the people affected by the terrible floods in Queensland.

My sweet grandson started grade one today. The grandparents were allowed to go with this morning to be part of  all the excitement. It was so sweet and a bit emotional ~ I can vividly remember his dad's first day at school!! I need to share this with you though because I thought it was so sweet. He said that he doesn't have butterflies in his tummy, he has dragonflies. How cute is that????

Today sees another sketch reveal at Lets Scrap. Today's generous sponsor is:

Cori Kozak, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

We held a competition over at Lets Scrap where members were asked to submit their favourite LO ~ which Cheri could turn into a sketch. This week's sketch is based on the LO submitted by Marilyn Peters. Here is the great sketch that Cheri created.

We bought Claudia a shopping trolley with all the grocery tins and boxes. Dorian and Claudia spent the night with us before we went away on holiday and she brought her trolley with. We took all the ornaments off the unit in the lounge and that became her shop. She spent the night shopping and giving us food to eat and dog food.....She also decided her "pappa's" shoes were far smarter to shop in....LOL. I used the photos from that night to do my LO. Here is how it turned out

I used Crate papers and the chipboard die cuts are also from Crate paper. A Martha Stewart punch to do the strip border. I cut the banner out of cardstock and used rub-ons for her name. I used pearls along the punched border.
