Face painting

Barry’s staff party on Saturday was pretty fun! The weather wasn’t that great - drizzling a tiny bit, but there was a good turn out and there was face painting and a bouncy castle for the girls to do (although Kaylee didn’t want to do either). There was hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and the owner even brought in freshly made french fries from a chip wagon (20 boxes!). Kristen spent most of the time with a bunch of girls her age. She just loved her newly painted face and didn’t want to wash it off that night! LOL

Yesterday I got this gorgeous necklace in the mail. One of the women in my mommies group has breast cancer and one of the other members said she’d make a necklace for whoever wanted to buy one, in honor of Beth. The clear bead is for Beth and the 2 little pink ones are for her 2 children. I don’t normally wear much jewelry except for the stuff I never take off, but I couldn’t pass this up.

I only have one layout to show you right now. For some reason I haven’t scrapped much in the past few days. I am really pleased with how this turned out. I’ve had these pics for a while now and never got around to scrapping them, then I got the Beep Boop 2 scoops kit from Lauren & Kristin and the colors were almost perfect for them! I just had to darken the blues and reds a bit. I hope my FIL likes it! This is his plane that he built himself!

I’m starting to think about Christmas already…ways I can save money on gifts like Air Miles points can get me gift cards for some people, my Pampers points can get me 25 free photo cards, etc. What do you do during the holidays to save money on gifts? I already got my ILs present, but I can’t say what it is because my MIL reads this sometimes.
