Scrap Queen

Grace was getting a retainer. She was not happy about this at all! But cousin Rick was gentle! I am definitely one of those scrappers, couldn't help taking a photo of her in the chair!

One of my favorite things about homeschooling, besides having my daughter home with me everyday, was using my Happy Planner for lesson planning.
