Another page for my St Jacobs album! This was a scene we spied from the road and it amazed us how every farm we seen was a working farm and boy, do they work hard. If you look close, there's a little boy working right along side dad in the top photo. "Everyday Life" and this quote seemed to be a fitting title for this LO.
Before I get to today's post, I want to send a reminder out that we're having a hop at Digi Darla's and one lucky winner will win the entire month of July's New Releases (ends Sat at 9pm) and at Lasting Memories, we have a GDT spot AND a Giveaway going on if anyone's interested!
Now on to today's LO! Yep, another from St Jacobs! I had to take photo's of our breakfast each morning - yes, some may say goofy, but my goodness, this was divine! We chose from a menu for both mornings and then we also had fresh fruit and fresh baking as well. Incredible, especially that fluffy cheese omelette which is why it's the star of this LO!! YUMMY!
Join our Digi Darla HopHERE for a chance to win the entire July New Release!
Hope you're not tired of these yet! I have more to come! I thought this title was perfect for this page. Wildlife what we could see right from our deck at "By The River" B&B. Everywhere we looked there was something happening and what better title, right? It's so true!! Love this page? Buy the kit HERE! Missed my first few pages? You can see them HERE! I've had some fun comments on my 'road' pics!

Here's a couple more pages I put together for my St Jacobs album - I'm really having fun making this one and this kit is fabulous! You can purchase it HERE! If you haven't seen my other pages to this album, start HERE! One of the things that I found fascinating was the Mennonite horse and buggies. They all had their reflective triangle, which I was happy to see. On Sunday morning, we heard hundreds going by heading to church. We didn't hear them travel back home till well after dark. Just so calming hearing the clip clop of the horses. The second LO here showcases a couple more 'road trip' pics!!

If you haven't been by in a couple days, August brings a new Designer Highlight at RAKscraps and we get to play with the kits! Click here and here to see the first 4 pages of my album. My aunt and I took a road trip to St Jacobs, which is Amish/Mennonite Country and we had an amazing time and stayed at a little B&B called "By The River". Here's a layout showcasing the photo's I took right from our little back deck. The scenery was incredible and you could hear the river rapids and wildlife.
Here's some more digital layouts from our trip to St Jacobs. Check out my first 2 right here that start the trip! This was truly home away from home and our Host, Heather, was a wonderful person as was her husband and son that we met. The cabin is actually attached to the main house but you wouldn't know it. You hear nothing whatsoever and even in the back yard you were private and didn't see them. We absolutely loved that deck. Be sure to come by tmw as I have some gorgeous views to show you! Cya then!
Hey all! Wow, another hot one coming in today and over the wknd!! What an amazing summer, although better for some than others. So, August brings a new Designer Highlight atRAKscraps and being on the Creative Team, we get to work with the kit! I've started my St Jacobs trip album and here's a couple pages with more to come!! This was my first trip to St Jacobs and we stayed at "By The River" B&B which was fantastic and we're looking to go again in Sept!! The photo's on the site not watermarked with "BBCanada..." are actually mine!
Hey all! We're halfway through the week which means time for a new challenge at Child's Play and it's a toy challenge - "Beach Ball"!
I decided to get started on my pages from when the kid's helped at Grandpa's pond. He made the decision to fill one of his 3 ponds as it's just gotten too hard for him to look after. He's just turned 70 and I was amazed at what you have to do for the upkeep-not to mention the willow tree that kept spawning EVERYWHERE as well! So the kid's wanted to help catch and relocate what they could. I had Charlie with me (daycare) and Andrew had a friend as well. They worked super hard all day. I ended up leaving with Ash and Charlie bc it was just too hot. Over 40*C with the humidity but the boys kept going. They caught frogs, turtles, cat fish, baby trout .. and they relocated every thing they caught. They carried buckets from one pond to another (not a small walk!) and just kept moving all day long. We were so proud of them, but most important, they were proud of themselves. Here's the first (digital) layout of Ashleigh releasing a bucket full of frogs - I chose to use some of the colors from the beach ball.
Come on over to Child's Play and join us and see what the rest of the DT created! See you there!!
Wife and mom of 2 kiddo's- Ashleigh (16 this yr) and Andrew (20 this year!) Keeping up with life the best I can! 2 jobs, oldest in University .. life gets crazy so scrapbooking and photography is my outlet when I get there. Thanks for stopping by!
