Kites & More

All I can say is it's been a wonderful day. It has hit 80 degrees here in N-E Ohio!! Today I went to a kite festival with the girls and friends. We had a wonderful time. There were kites and a life size Candy Land Game. Gigi won the candyland game (whoo hoo).

Isn't this just the coolest kite ever?? It looks like a monster attacking a playground.

Here's CJ and all the kids.

After the kite festival because it was so warm..we didn't want to go home. We decided to head to Volant which is Amish country. It's so beautiful there and I just adore the Amish. I tried to respect their beliefs but I accidentally took a picture of a little Amish boy. I didn't notice it until I started editing the photos. He was in the shadows. (oops). Once we went inside this mill we saw the same little boy chugging on a Mt. Dew. It really amused me to see that. He was drinking Mt. Dew while staring at my girls like they were crazy.

Here's a couple pics of the girls while we were at Volant.


Here's the only thing I bought while we were there:

isn't it cute?? I'm going to use it to shake powdered sugar on whatever I make.

Okay....now I have scrapped a little this week.
This one I did using an inspired blueprint sketch. They have fabulous sketches...check them out. I might try to do another one tonight. :)


This one I just did for fun!! I just followed my mojo!


Thanks for sitting through all this!!
Have a fabulous weekend!!


Love and Hugs!!

  3. "monster attacking a playground."

    Very descriptive! Being kite-crazy myself, I never get sick of taking a quick look at other people's kite photos. Going to a kite festival is a great idea for a day out isn't it... Check out the link to the Adelaide event, where we have posted a bunch of photos. There's even more under 'Adelaide Events' in the side-bar.
