Family road trip! ........ and a pretty card!

Colin, Aubrey and I headed to Great Falls monday morning to get away before the rain dried up and to spend some nice family time together...........(oh and to do some shopping!).

I got Aubrey all packed, and thanks to Aunty J, she was able to carry her own bag. This only lasted while we were at home though.

We had such a fun time together! We took Aubrey to a park by the hotel we stayed at, and she LOVED going down the slides and running after the other big kids who were also there. I think Colin had just as much fun as she did! We also were able to go to the pool, though it was a bit too cold for Aubrey (and me!).

Colin and I were a bit nervous as we got to the border, as neither of us had ever gone through on our own before (always with mom and dad!), but we managed! At the US border, the man doing a quick search of the vehicle got a kick out of Aubrey and her one shoe on, one shoe off! And coming back into the country was just as easy too!

All in all it was a fun trip! Especially as I found not 1 but 2 Kathy purses!

A friend of mine came down last Saturday, and even though she didn't get here until 3 in the afternoon, we were still able to get in some awesome scrapbooking time! I was able to get started on Aubrey's 2nd year scrapbook, (jan 2010), and am looking forward to getting the next 4 months done with it! I just have to remember to keep up with taking pictures and jotting everything down!

The following is a card that I made, and then duplicated a ton of times! It is a great go-to card that can easily be added to depending on the occasion. I used basic grey for the card base, and on the base used Vintage Vogue wheel and a glitter concoction that I made. The designer paper is Walk in the Park and kiwi kiss 08 in color. Finished off with a filigree brad and paper clip!

And thats it for today!
