What do I say?

Ever had those friends who just assume that they are always invited over? They don't know when to back off or give you and your family some space???? Now, don't get me wrong ........ I love to entertain!!!!!!!!!!! But honestly, there are some people who just don't respect your need for family meal time!

Maybe I'm actually a bit of a pushover? Does this problem result from my inability to create proper boundaries? Maybe some people see an easy mark and know that they can just intrude whenever they feel like it? It's probably more of an issue with me setting limits than anything else. Of course there are some people who will take as much as they can......I MUST set the limitations.

What do I say?

water water water!

I love to swim.......almost as much as I love to scrapbook! There is seriously nothing better than a long swim on a hot summer afternoon! I think I prefer the pool to the beach, but a rocky lake would be my dream, hands down!!! Born under the sign of the fish....I really don't give that kinda stuff much credibility.......I am astrologically true to form and really would love to live in the water!

enjoy your summer!

Thanks for reading!

New DT gig

I'm getting to know my way around the new place, and the DT spot seems to be panning out nicely. I'm trying to get to know the members, but it's a slow go. I am currently working with the August kit and absolutely LOVE the PPs next month.

I did a couple of challenges this month...here's one...

I haven't actually done a challenge in a while, so it was quite fun to do.....What a ham my guy is....excited about losing his two front teeth...he actually pulled them out himself!!!

I have so many ideas for the new site, but I think I might actually be driving Kathy nuts with my comments. LOL.....I hope she understands my excitement...........

Off to work on my LOs!

So we camp as a family for most of the summer.....such fun!!! The kids absolutely love it and it forces me to spend the 2 months of their summer holiday, focussing on them.
