we left some love...
Love notes that is. Positive little messages that will hopefully brighten someone's day. In between the walking around and leaving of notes, the girls got feather-like hair extensions and little sis got a glittery tattoo from a street vendor.
and then we left one more note.
Keep an eye out.

That was the girls' pick for the party yesterday. Big sis had seen these adorable pink and yellow salt water taffy at the store last week and that sent the wheels a'turnin' for the pool party we wanted to have to get back in the mood for school starting soon.
All the girls had a fun time and hopefully it set the mood for this next week when school starts. School is gonna rock!

little sis, she's always had this funny edge about her. She loves anything punk, and every 3-4 days puts another temp tattoo on, likes her long, wild bangs, her skateboard and her occasional colored strip of hair. She says she wants to be an artist (or a tattoo artist) when she grows up, so we've put her in formal art classes. Here's day 1, she got a little dressed up.

I scrapbooked these a few days ago. I've been on a scrapbooking role...and if you're feeling scrapbook-y, stop by The Creative Type to see what we have going on. We have new You Tube videos planned, some new members and other exciting news!
Fairy best friends, little sis and her bf, they love fairies, dressing up and all things fun and girly.
Fifth Grade Graduation, we were super proud of big sis. I can't believe she'll be a middle schooler next year!
Butterfly, I've painted the girls ( and the neighbor kids) faces a few time this summer...
How's your day treating you?

was the movie theme last night...

We often watch movies and make a night out of it. Summer time is especially nice for these times. An old favorite for us girls around here, Penelope (oh, I love thee!) and we made a "fancy" assortment of pigs in the blanket and made a bed of blankets on the floor to settle in and watch. These are the times I love about summer, cuddling with my girls late at night and watching chic-flicks.

My daughters think it is like the funniest thing to run and jump in the pool with their clothes on. (Sometimes they strip down to their birthday suits and dive in.) Here big sis has convinced her bf to join in...
School starts in a couple weeks. I must say I will miss the kids all being here all the time ( well, some kids, but you know.)

(I thought I had posted this last week, just saw it, duuuh...)Today was the first day this summer vacation where I haven't had a kid(s) other than mine over at my house all day. It rained a lot and the girls watched old movies from my days of summer vacation ( Never Ending Story and Lucas), and I scrapped these.
14 years, this was last October when I was in the US doing some shopping and doctor visits and my husband was back in Mexico City. It was the only time I could go back to the States, but it was also the week of our 14 year anniversary. I went to the photobooth and held up my signs, each with a new message, and the last frame I blew him a kiss. Then I put it on my blog and told him to check on our anniversary. This year (our 15th-whhaaaaa???) we're going to Argentina and Patagonia, whoop!
Home., just a picture of our living room
buddies and bowling
I made 2 almost identical pages, one for each of the girls albums.
and for big sis' 50's themed end of the year party, her and her friends dressed in poodle skirts and pink lady jackets, so cute! this is not my favorite page, but little sis picked out all the colors and papers and helped with the design, and I think she did a pretty good job!
I have a couple more, but I need to upload them. Hope everyone is doing well!

The August prompt over at the Creative Type is Vacation; like in a place you've gone or a place you would like to go. So come play along! This month we're kicking off a new Creative Type, with a couple new designers, prizes, You Tube Videos, and some rad guest designers, so come over and check us out!!
Here's mine;
Even though I've been super lucky to live in another country and travel a good bit of the world, I really, really love the daydream of touring America in an airstream trailer. Stopping off at famous diners and eateries, picking what highway to take as we come to it, going to out-of-the-norm museums, sleeping with the windows open so you can hear the crickets at night, smores at each campfire...sounds so great!!
What's your vacation daydream? Or do you have a picture from vacation you want to scrapbook? Make a mini album and show us!!
