"In Riding a Horse we borrow Freedom" Digit Scrapbook paper

I used DCWV Blue Jean paper to print the words and the bottom scene on both papers. I think that the saying says it all. "In riding a horse we borrow Freedom"
This is a close up of the words I place in the left hand corner.

Either I printed them on printed paper or plain paper. My favorite paper stack was the Blue Jeans by DCWV. Most of the pages were designed using a two page spread.

I can't believe how busy I have been at work, preparing for an upcoming crop, and planning our vacation. At this point it looks like Maine, Michigan, or Canada destinations are on the list...but you never know for sure where we will end up. I do know we want to visit new areas to see all of God's beautiful creations in nature. We love to hike, cach, and explore areas.

Pink Christmas Classroom Party Ideas

Each year the American Legion Ladies Aux. host a party/luncheon for our classroom. They have done this for at least 36 years (thats how long I've taught :)) They provide lunch and all the trimmings. I usually choice a theme or color to decorate with. This year was the year for PINK. All the kids including the boys love pink. I'm posting pictures from the party. I made each child their own candle with their picture on it with a pink Santa hat. I also hung snowflakes from the ceiling which i twisted a pink trim around them. My aide made the Pink Santa placemats. I made each child their ornament with the year and their name on it.The centerpieces were from one of my student's parents who renewed their wedding vows this summer. I just covered up the flower pot with pink foil and hung small pink ornaments from them.
