We all know someone with this disorder.  Sometimes there are those we can learn to avoid, others we are related to and that makes for it to be more difficult.  Luckily for me, the narcissist in my life chose to end our relationship, and while it hurt, it probably was the best thing.  
It wasn't until I described my situation to a friend that she told me to look up narcissist and from that point...

Shawn's graduation party is coming up and we are coming down to the last details to get done.
Deb and I plan on working on the favors today - at least planning the favors, since she's doing popcorn she can't make them until closer to the party.  I got the cutest moo cards to attach to them...

This weekend was a rainy one, but not enough to spoil our plans! We took of Friday afternoon, Cameron, Zach and I, and headed to Columbus to see Shawn run at Ohio State . On our way there I think we hit every possible rain storm which slowed us down quite a bit. Luckily we made it to Ohio State in enough time to see Shawn run in one of his events.
After the running events we headed out to find our...

Finally I uploaded Zach's last day of school picture and was able to create this on Picnik showing the first and last days of school this year!  I love doing this with the kids to document the changes in their growth and development!

The kids made played frisbee, went...

June Kit...
I was so excited to get my hands on this kit and really enjoyed creating with it last Saturday during the crop at Trish's.  I love when things are really flowing!  I think it's a combination of awesome kits and having a creative boost that helps me put some of my favorite pages together.
Here's what I did with this months kit...
    
 
 
 
 
 

 
Recently I added the rolodex die to my favorite sizzix dies from Stampin up!  I've made several birthday rolodex's over the years and this die would have made it so much easier!

 I used the SEI dill blossom paper I picked up while shopping in NOVI.  I could cut two cards out of each 6 X 6 sheet and then using the left overs I would trim strips to decorate the cards.

 all of the pictures...

Team up Thursday:
Here we are again, another week gone by and another team up thursday with Jill.  This week we decided to do blurry photos.  Usually blurry photos are not something you want, but sometimes it captures exactly what we want it to.
 
Jill's photo is of her son running and all blurry, mine is focused on one grandma and blurry with the other grandma and Zach

yesterday we went to Shawn's commencement and celebrated with family afterwards!  He still has not decided on his college yet and both schools are still actively pursuing him! Within a few weeks he knows he needs to make his final decision....
