Today's Pages
I was able to put together two layouts today among cleaning cooking and baking cookies!
Such A Lovely Day
I recently subscribed to a scrapbook kit club - Cocoa Daisy, and received my first box of goodies last week. I finally had a chance to sit down and play with it this weekend. Here is one of the layouts I created.
It's fun to get that box of coordinated paper and embellishments every month! I hope to make time to create more today.

Fresh Balsam
If you have an artificial Christmas tree and miss the smell of a real one, you MUST get this...Fresh Balsam wallflower from Bath & Body Works. The scent is clean and fresh without the overpowering scent of pine. I wish I would have bought several more!

X-Men
Jake had his first 3 on 3 basketball tournament this weekend. It was so fun to watch them play. They played 3 games and competed against some very good, experienced players. Although they didn't win any of their games they all had a great time and are excited for their next tournament. I'm looking forward to watching as their confidence and skills get better and better!

The Fair Was a Success!
Tuesday night we made rolled sugar cookies. The challenge was to find 4 cookies that looked the same for entering in the fair. Same size, thickness, color, etc.
After the cookies were finished it was out to the shop to put the final coat of oil on the step stool.
Wednesday afternoon was interview judging. The kids stand in line with their projects and wait their turn to be judged. The judges ask questions about the project to determine what you learned and to make sure you did it yourself. I wasn't able to be there for that part so I sent the camera with Tim and he took photos so I could see!
Here he's being judged on his stool. The only question he could remember being asked was what kind of wood he used...pine.
For the cookies he was asked what the hardest part was, his answer was setting the timer. I would have said rolling out the dough (I don't like making rolled cookies!)
He got blue ribbons on both of his projects! And since we didn't have any animals entered, that was it for our 4-H fair experience this year!
