Happy Flag Day!!!

Crystal Wilkerson really out did herself this month...her June 2009 Paper Collection is AMAZING and my favorite to date!!! Crystal will be running a "ridiculously crazy" PROMOTION on her blog for the NEW June 2009 Collection so keep checking her blog for all the details!

Here's a LO I made using the NEW stuff :) I actually ended up making this twice...my laptop is about to die...it overheated right in the middle of making it the 1st time and I was about 85% done and I hadn't saved it...and I LOST IT ALL :( so I had to redo the whole thing...looks like not only will I be getting a new printer - maybe a new computer :D

...last night Camryn had her Tap Recital...and she did such a great job - no stage fright at all...and there had to have been several hundred people in the audience. We had to wait for quite awhile for her turn...Mr. Mason was getting so tired...but he waited patiently with his Me-Maw...it was hard for him to see the stage from where we were sitting (darn it all for being short!).



...while we continued to wait for Camryn's turn to dance....Camryn and I snuck out into the park and I actually place my camera on Manual and started playing around - I'm trying that more and more...here's one I got last night...


...no doctoring on this photo in photoshop...I just tried to get it in the right settings before I shot the picture :)

...now for the rest, I had to take it back out of Manual and put it back into my comfort zone for the performance...











After the recital we all went to dinner at a local Brew Pub...we hadn't been there yet and it was DELICIOUS!!! I know we will be going back! Maybe next time during the week in hopes it won't be so crowded...

Well we are all packed and we are leaving in just a bit - we have a plane to catch :) Stuart and I will be enjoying ourselves in Vegas for the next several days...the kids will be with the Me-Maw and Pe-Paw...Ben has Steel Drum Camp and Baseball this week...so LOTS of BUSY DAYS ahead....
